JHMW815's Build Thread

Hello TW,

This thread is to keep track of my build. Now, before I start listing, I know some of you might bash me for purchasing TRD Pro, then swap out all the parts I'd paid for. If I had known what I was going to turn this rig into, I'd been wise and gotten the Offroad model instead. So let's be kind.

Nice. More pics!

 

Damn that thing looks sick! Nice rig man! And yes more pics for sure!

 

Some updated pictures. Dobinsons snorkel coming soon

Also, highly considering moving up to 35s after the re-gearing.. With 33s and all the weights on the vehicle, it drives better than bone stock Pro.. Re-gearing is the best modification I'd done to the truck!

 

Dobinsons snorkel installed.

Trail run @ Hungry Valley.

 

315 70 17 Toyo Open Country MT installed. It's been nonstop cutting and hammering since.. I have yet to test it on the trail but love the look!

 

how is the ride on the new toyo? Thinkin about getting a set myswlf.

 

My first trail run on these tires will be on the 22nd so I can't say anything about the off-road performance. But after all , this is what it's made for so I'm sure it will blow my mind.

As for the on-road quality, coming from Nitto Ridge Grappler RT, one of the quietest AT/RT out there, there were times when I actually regret getting the MT. I guess it really comes down to how sensitive you are but those road noise can get to you. I have alot going on that will cause road noise but that high pitched road noise is something else..

Let me say this though. When I finally arrive at my destination, step out of my car and put my eyes on the rig, all of a sudden I have no more complaints.

 

AlphaRex LED headlights and Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro installed.

 

Can't wait to get the demello bumper and winch installed!

 

Trail run at Hungry Valley 01/23/2021

 

Demello Offroad bumper, X20 winch and BD squadron sport installed.

 

Looking sharp!

 

Very nice build. Somehow I don’t feel so bad about wanting to change the suspension on my PRO now. You have a great taco Sir!!!
