RubyOverland's 2016 Off-Road 4x4 Build - SOLD

The specs for the 2017 should be almost, if not, the same as the 2016. You could call them and ask. All the guys over there are extremely helpful and easy to work with.
This is my daily driver and unfortunately I drive close to 80 miles a day for work. I have seen a drop in mpg but I want to see how I do over the next week.

 

I saw you got the truck from Florida you must be located in south east MS? Just curious cuz I'm a lil bit north of Gulfport

 

I used to live in Florida but in April I moved to Mississippi for work. I bought the truck a few weeks before I moved. Where in MS?

 

Bout 30 min up 49 from Gulfport, Wiggins

 

Oh nice, I'm down in Ocean Springs. So are you gonna try to off-road or overland with your truck?

 

Some light trails probably will the worst it sees, I've been wanting to take more camping trips and the primitive options are limited with a corolla! lol being that I cheaped out and went with the rear wheel drive idk if I'd want to take it anywhere to bad

 

Gotcha. I found some logging trails out in Saucier that are pretty easy if you get the itch to get out there. If you're looking for people to connect with the MS threads done have a lot of action but the Alabama ones do - there are Facebook pages as well.

 

Nice looking truck. Those 255 Toyos look really big, not like pizza cutters at all. the two tone wheels go well with the red.

for another sweet Barcelona!

 

Thanks! I was worried the 255s were gonna look stupid skinny but I think they are aggressive enough that it's not the case.

 

rodger that I need to get a lil trailer too so I can tote my 4 wheeler with me! rode bethel atv trail a few months back, east of saucier, it was a pretty nice spot and I think they have a few nice spots to camp

 

Some shots from this weekend at the Slab in Montevallo, AL. Thanks @O906 for the awesome photos!

Suspension handled beautifully, had awesome clearance. Tires were great, had zero issues with traction the entire day. Thought they would rub a lot, but fully stuffed did not except with wheel turned hard. I think I'll need to trim some plastic but other than that I should be good. Overall, I am super happy with everything and I can't wait to hit the trails again.

On a side note, MPG took a hit with the new set up. I'm hoping some of that is false readings. Hoping to have MPG and MPH recalibrated when I bring the truck in for service.

 

Pucker Factor: 1,000,000

 

Meant to post this last week, won this in a giveaway on TW from @CaliRaisedLed. Hoping to get them installed this weekend or next weekend. Thanks again @CaliRaisedLed!! I never win anything

 

Its been a crazy week of mods for my truck.
Sunday: Lifted
Thursday: Wheels and Tires
Saturday: Tested suspension @ the Slab
Sunday: debadged the front doors and painted part of the grill with black Rustoleum bed liner paint. I did 2 coats, but I'd recommend at least 3. I'll probably add to mine at a later date.

Now I am debating whether or not to remove the TRD decals from the bed for a nice clean look. What do you think?

 

Grill looks awesome!

 

Thank you!

 

Did the alignment help with rubbing?

I'm having the tire debate myself. My problem is I have fn fx pro's in 17x8 coming. Not much in the tall/skinny offerings in 17".

 

Couldn't get in for an alignment this week, have an appointment scheduled for Thursday. I'll provide an update then. Slim pickings for tall/skinny all around.

 

No doubt. Hope you get it straightened out. Looks awesome!

 

Me too! Thank you!
