MaverickT883's Build/Adventure Thread

Milage is getting up there.

 

Stock Toyota battery bit the dust at -31 today lol. AGM (moto master) has been installed. Got 2 years and 92k Km out of it.

 

New mods!

• APF Off-road sliders
• 255/85/16 Cooper STT MAXXs installed

Went wheeling with the TEC guys, tons of fun.

 

Also hit 95k Km on the way there, coming up on 100k fast.

 

Maintence Done at 96k

• Diff Fluid
• Engine Oil + Filter
• Trans Fluid
• T-case Fluid
• Brake Fluid
• Front Brake Pads + Machined rotors
• Ordered RCI Front Skid to replace my bashed up TRD one.

 

^Your dealer actually has a brake lathe to resurface rotors?

 

Yeah they're pretty awesome actually. Very helpful IMO, they fixed the damage Mr. Lube did at 0 labor cost. Just charged me for the new bolt kit.

 

RCI Front Skidplate- installed! TRD Pro skidplate is gone now. It was good, but I needed something tougher.

 

Woohoo! 100k! Love this truck.

Only failure I have had (knock on wood) is the clutch fan went out on me. Annoying, but cheap enough fix. Did it myself. Sold my RTT to go back to ground camping- wanted a lighter setup and freed up bed space. Still love every mod I’ve done.

 

110k soon! Took the truck to boston towing 4klbs trailer. Photo dump later.

 

Bilstien 5100s installed! Thanks @tacoma16 and @Norilsk for risking your lives disassembling stock coils

 

I don’t know what was more dangerous. The coils or you trying to jack up the rear of the truck lol.

 

C. All of the above

 

Thinking I may be narrowing in on my perfect setup here… small aluminum flat deck for my bikes, and truck bed for storage of camping gear. I think if I add a camper shell (hard cap) for storage and waterproof it well, along with the small flat deck for 2-3 bikes it will be perfect. I think the solution to carrying the bike with my travel trailer will be to add a hitch to the back of the travel trailer and then a motorcycle carrier to the back.

 

Bilstien 5100s installed on the 3rd clip on the front and installed on the rear. They feel like a substantial upgrade and the truck rolls and dives much less. Ride is better too. I will be doing an AAL at some point when budget permits so that I retain 2ish inches of rake, right now I am level.

 

Photo dump incoming from wheeling trips and motocross

 

New parts day!!! ARE DCU Cap! Originally off a 21 Colarado. SOOOOOOOOOOO stoked on this (thanks @WorstCaseOntario !). Both side doors are toolboxes!!

 

Already started on getting the inside all setup!

 

Nice!! I love that setup. I have a toolbox on the inside driver’s side of my ARE cap, it’s so useful for storage. That’s awesome you have two. Here’s mine:



The toolbox exterior that faces my bed is all covered in stickers now lol, those are pics from a while back. Love your build!

 

Only update I have to bring is that this truck still kicks ass, reliable, and hasn’t given me a lick of trouble. Just completed a 10 hour drive, currently at 117,500km. Leaf packs are in the future, but I’m so happy with it as is I haven’t felt the need to do anything, but I’m sure the day will come…
