Red TRD

[scribzilla]

I traded the JKU in on this right before Halloween of last year. The manual locks got pretty annoying after having 2 kids, so this is quite the upgrade.

So far I've added the TRD Pro wheels and Nitto Terra Grapplers.

After the poker run this past weekend, I'm thinking it's time for a small lift and some rocker protection. Looking at Toytec kits since a bunch of guys in the Tundra group have nothing but great reviews of them.

I think it needs a snorkel. Maybe a light bar...

And a roof rack to mount the maxtrax

Don't forget the little useless ladder to access the roof rack for the future rooftop tent.....

Got some rock rails coming. Still shopping around for a suspension lift. Toytec is pretty pricey. Looking at an ICON or Eibach kit now.

I did an Eibach in a Tacoma a few weeks ago and was quite happy

Do you recall what kit it was? I was looking at this 2.0 kit:

Rock rails came in over the weekend.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

are they factory rails for yours?

 

[scribzilla]

Yeah, Toyota's offering. Got them for $300. Bolt on.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

nice! had me wondering when you said use the existing holes or drill new ones.

 

[jimbo92]

My metal tech sliders on the gx460 used existing holes as well

My son and I installed the rails after work. Pretty simple install. Brackets even had cutouts for the KDSS lines.

Looks great. Also KDSS is quite useful. Also another reason not to go over 2". You'll get the "kdss clunk". Worthwhile trade off tho it's a great system. No complaints.

Yeah, me too. 😎

When I took it to the mountains in February, it felt like I was driving a car. It handled really well.

It works really well. Allows a 200 series land cruiser with IFS to RTI higher than a gladiator rubi without having to mess with disconnecting a sway bar. It's essentially a form of sway bar disconnect that allows for a really thick sway bar on the road for handling. That gx handled like it was on a rail for what it was. My LX now runs normal sway bars but a full hydraulic suspension that works pretty well. Very close to same wheel travel as a 200 with KDSS.

This guy does some good write ups

That was a pretty good comparison. Kind of scientific too lol
