RAY'S 16' OFFROAD OVERLAND BUILD

Great on road and off road. Might have to try out the new KM3's when they come out though!

 

Sick truck bro!

 

How do you like the frontrunner racks?

 

Is it slim profile?

 

Long travel? Or mid?

 

Awesome truck. Thanks for all the info!

 

Clean build right here!

 

Mid travel....... for now

 

Haven't updated in awhile. Took the topper off and scored some ray 10's. Also added a pelfreybilt front skid.

 

Looks sick. How you liking the Ray10s over your old Sema Pro wheels?

 

Thanks man

When I first got my taco I went with the TRD pro wheels so that I could have a tall tire with narrow wheels and not deal with any rubbing. But once I saw the ray 10's I had to have them. I also wanted to widen up my truck stance, feels much more stable with a wider wheel.

 

baja designs fog light kit installed.

 

Looking good! What tires did you wrap those Ray10s in?

 

Thanks!

The tires are BFG KO2'S 34X10.5X17

 

Dual Light bar setup and ditch lights installed. Next up is installing my switch pros setup!

 

Nice Build! My Dakars arrived today, Kings tomorrow. I have the ARE with windoors as it appears you have or had. I couldn't be happier with it, high quality. Question for you about the dakars: did you add that overload back in? I am at about 280lbs with the shell, roof rack and awning on my long bed. Wondering what your thoughts are about the ride. I thought about the extra spring, but felt that would be too much for everyday, but had not considered taking the one overload out.

 

I put the upper overload back on after I installed my RTT. The truck was sagging a bit with the tent and shell. Currently I don't have a shell and the upper overload is still installed. The ride isn't bad at all, I decided to leave it on.
If you don't plan to run a tent you could get away without the upper overload. With the upper overload you might get a slight rake with no extra weight back there, but you could crank down the kings a bit to get some more height.
My opinion is to just leave the upper overload on, your truck might sit a lot higher in the rear when you first install but remember the leaf springs will settle a bit.

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks for the advice. When we load to head out we can be close to 600lbs so with the ARE and everyday weight we should be just right. I am curious to see how the front vs back height works out. Also got the 650 coils. Thanks again!

 

How are you enjoying the frontrunner? I have one coming in on Thursday!

 

You'll be good to go with that setup!
