22’ TRD PRO mods? Let’s see

Update with BJD lightbar and DRLs running. Love the look and DRL color matches Toyotas DRLs. And as mentioned before, get the diode dynamics fog light upgrade, huge improvement over stock and its super easy install. Plug and play wiring. Can just take the plastic panel off without removing whole grill like the install vid shows.

 

I have the exact same springs installed. Can option for more lift or also for more or less weight but the 220-400lbs extra weight cap is perfect. With my set up with a constant 350 lbs it sits really level. After a month of them bring broken in they actually ride just as smooth as stock. Def squats much less adding a 6x12 u haul trailer. Highly recommend these springs. Might go for the lighter load if you don't have constant weight like mine to reduce the harsh ride though. But at the end of the day, off road suspension isn't really made for heavy duty hauling without squat. Airbags might be a better option if that is your intention. But for me, with the occasional tow or load, these springs are exactly what I was looking for.

I called Dobinson before loading up the truck like this to get approval but nearly 1700 lbs of polyvinyl flooring in the bed.

 

You can use some Dobinsons or Icon rear springs and add a couple of 1/4” spacers to the front and achieve some lift.

 

Did you have to get the panhard bar extension after the rear springs ?

 

no just the coils.

 

Just a heads up to fellow Pro owners, my tire wear on my OEM Wildpeaks was excessive and Toyota replaced the tires at 14k miles. I imagine its a one time deal for me, but at least its something while they work out the alignment issue.

 

Was it a battle? How bad is "excessive" to make them change them? Thanks for the heads up.

 

It wasnt a battle. But I did contact Toyota corporate and had two or three phone calls with reps. I provided pictures. And my dealership already had plenty of measurements and pictures. The outside edge of my tires was past the wear indicators and nearly smooth.
The frustrating part is that they will wear just as bad as Toyota wont veer off what they have listed with the specs. I took my truck to a shop and they said they go by mfg specs and go by what the Hunter machine says for the model and year.

 

Did they replace with same spec tire oem short tread or the regular wild peak tire shop sale?

 

OEM Wildpeaks. I got no choice in the matter

 

1st thing I did was put some 35's on and installed some power steps.

 

What steps did you go with?

 

They are GoRhino E1 power steps.

 

Dang, I thought you figured out how to get the OEM steps on your Pro.

 

Beauty.

Can you post a pic of them folded down when you get a chance? I'd like to see how far they drop down, they look really sleek and clean tucked up. Also, did you install them and if so was it fairly straightforward?

Beautiful truck, I am on the waitlist for a white one .

 

Fixed the lettering so it matches the rest of the truck.

 

I want to change all the red to orange on our Pro, to match the paint. Wife thinks I'm crazy. That front badge on yours looks fantastic!

 

I got the grille emblems from this company, guessing they could do orange: https://www.ebay.com/str/customemblems

 

I installed them myself. If you can handle a socket wrench and a screwdriver. You can definitely install these yourself. A second set of hands always helps though.

 

that thing is a beast! Impressive

 

Hey everyone, got a quick question. Recently acquired a set of TRD pro wheels but they did not come with any lug nuts. Do they just use regular m14x1.5 lugs that aftermarket wheels use?

 

lug nut size (M14x1.5) does not have anything to do with type of lug nut. But yes, they use oem style seat type

 

Thank you for your help, I’ve never installed TRD pro wheels so I wasn’t sure. Normally when I’ve done aftermarket wheels, longer lugs have been needed. Once again, thank you

 

You can use your oem lug nuts for now if you want to swap...theyre the same seat type but likely chrome vs the black ones from the Pro

 

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing, since I just got them today and really would like to put them on. However I do want the black ones from the pro.

 

Thank you for the pic, those look like substantial steps when they fold down! Are you happy with them/would you purchase again/recommend them?

 

Anyone have any mpg numbers where they have been towing as well as best normal driving? We ended up on the interstate to Daytona not in tow+ mode and I saw 8 mpgs. With tow+ engaged I saw 8.9. Regular driving without the airstream hooked up was 15.4. I was hoping the more the pro got broken in the better it would be but that doesn’t seem to be the case but with lift and 35 inch Yokohamas I guess it could be worse….

 

I just put 35s on so my results are limited. On a 90 mile highway drive i do regularly I used to get 22~ mpg on OEM Wildpeaks. I got 19-19.5 this trip. That’s just on computer before you calculate tire size. I did tow yesterday but I didn’t calculate with just that trip, but combined is down to 15.5-16.
