TRD Pro Overlander In Progress

I know right. Its awful, I had a few beers last night during the tailgate install and almost just cut them off then and there. Then I thought about it little more, since I have a few days off, Im going tomorrow to have them cut just behind the muffler and put on some turndowns

 

I’m laughing cause the guy who had my truck had tips and I’m putting on my new bumper and I’m ready to saw zaw these bad boys off

 

This is even worse than the pipes. I had the Wilco Swing Gate on before which works well dont get me wrong, however when I went to the SS Built Rear Bumper (SSB) it just messed up everything. If I put the swing gate in the SSB then the tailgate could not open. So I had to buy a drop down to put the swing gate it. It just looked horrible and it wobbled so much.

 

O man yah I don’t know about those I went with a Westin

 

That Westin is nice, looks sweet. Do you have pics with it on?

 

No only cause it’s still sitting in the garage floor lol. I just got the hitch in a day ago it goes in the bumper so it’s behind the plate for more clearance. The goal is next weekend

 

Before and After. Ugly pipes are gone. Turndowns are on.

 

How much were u charged for this juts wondering I need to do the same

 

Before I got my Voodoo Blue I was in the market for the Red. Still love the color and what you have done is fantastic. Love seeing your build and gives me some options to look at. Nicely done. Congrats!.

 

$40 bucks out the door. Did it in 30 min.

 

Right on thanks dude

 

Did you have any issue with the tank after you installed? Did use the canister that came with the transferflow and the oem? I’m having problems with mine.
I filled it up with gas and it sputters for a while then it’s ok.
Then I hard accelerate it and about 55 it bogs down but keeps accelerating slower but it get to about 60 and then it’s fine.
It only does it when punch it. Normal driving there’s no issues and It’s not throwing any codes.
Thanks ,
you’re truck looks good man!

 

No issues with the tank yet. And obviously since I put on the Magnuson every single on-ramp is WOT. And yes, it has both installed, the OEM and the one included with the tank. You can see them both here.

 

I had installed Tuesday in Lubbock and those guys didn’t seem to know what they were doing. It was supposed to take 3 hours and it took 8 hours because they couldn’t get it to start.
I finally got it to start by cycling the key several times and then it started, went and gassed it up and it sputtered and then it did what I said in my last post. Drove it back home 130 miles and didn’t seem to have any issues until the next day when I would get on it. Took it to toyota of midland and they said the fuel pressure was bad on the pump, replaced it and drove it home and it’s doing the same.
Just thought I would ask you if ran into any problems.
Thanks for you’re help.

 

Yeah that doesnt sound right. Took me and my brother about 3.5 hrs and we were drinking beer. Instructions were actually pretty good. When I first went to crank it, it gave me a stutter, but it started right up after a second or two. I have two ~4 gallon rotopax that I put into the tank so I could get the fuel pump somewhat submerged when I started it. They didnt try to start it close to empty did they?

 

They but back in about 20 gals that was in the old tank. So that shouldn’t been a issue

 

I’m taking it back to toyota first thing in the morning. I had a trip planned for big bend ranch this weekend and that’s up in the air right now. Lol

 

@BROGAN How's the ride quality with the ReadyLIFT +2 ? You're totally happy with it? Apologies if you already addressed the ride quality somewhere.

 

Bad ass truck! And it looks like you're a fellow Texas Ex.

What did you use for the clearance lights you have mounted on the grille and the fender flares? Those look very similar to the lights used on the Raptor, however I haven't been able to find a kit that uses those for Tundras. Mine are from Yota LEDs (https://www.yotaleds.com/product-category/tundra-led-grill-lights/), however I actually prefer the style of lights on yours.

 

So I tracked to the end here to get your impressions of the truck after installing the Magnuson supercharger. It's on my wish list and hopefully in the next few years will be a reality! BTW, you have a beautiful truck.

 

Should have done the Supercharger first. #1 mod so far that I've done. I dont think I've ever heard any say they regret getting the Supercharger (unless they had mechanical issues with theirs I suppose).

 

They come with the Pro Comp Fender Flare set up. Initially I was hesitant about the marker lights and wasnt going to have them installed, didnt want to hear any "rApTor PoSeR" shit from my buddy who owns one. But I talked to the guys and they said they are actually required by law once you widen the truck with fiberglass fenders. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). "...to indicate presence of a wide vehicle, exactly 3 Yellow (amber) on the front - center - horizontally spaced 150 mm (6 in.) to 300 mm (12 in.) apart...with two yellow (amber) each side at front - as far forward as practicable."

 

I am happy with it for now. It was always going to be temporary. Ill be going to Long Travel soon. But the extra 2 inches was needed so I could get 35s and a bit more clearance for the time being.

 

Life got busy. Havent been on in a while. The Truck needs an update. And little teaser.

Teaser first...coming soon to my Truck. C4 Fabs Hybrid front bumper. My Camburg Trail Edition front bumer, which can be seen HERE, will be up for sale later. PM if interested.

 

Now for the update.

Installed the system from James Taylor Audio group buy. Sounds great. Nice upgrade. 12" sub adds just enough.



Went on a camping trip and caused some damage.



Heres where the damage occured. Had to cross that pipe unfortunately, or go two hours back, and not make it to the campsite.



Close up



Only one thing to do....



Cut that shit off = stupid good departure angle.

Here it is cut off, out cutting limbs on the ranch. Those OEM springs are going to be gone soon.



And last, but certainly not least, the Genesis Offroad Dual Battery kit



This was a sumbitch install. Not nearly as easy as Shane makes it look in his install vid. You have to relocate the fuse box back, thats not even in the video. Very tight spaces to work in. Lots of swearing. But in the end Im really happy with a protected cranking battery. And I know it looks like a mess but it is organized a bit. Pretty soon I will be "finished" adding accessories and everything will go in wire loom.

 

Upcoming modifications:

1. Tundra OEM Power Folding Tow Mirrors (likely getting a boat for next summer), waiting on wire harness
2. C4 Fab Hybrid Front Bumper
3. RCI skids, A Arm guards, pumpkin protector
4. C4 Fab Rock Sliders
5. TRD BIG Brake Kit
6. Progressive heavy duty leaf springs from Alcan Springs

 

Well I found it. This is my favorite build on here by a country mile. Truck is incredible man. Im enjoying following!

 

Thanks man. Certainly wouldn't be possible with inspiration and knowledge around this forum.

 

You've been busy! Nice Rig!

 

Knocked out a few things recently:

RCI full armor underneath and pumpkin protector

OEM Tow Mirrors, wired in power fold

New camping setup

Here's the new camp setup. This is a RoofNest Falcon XL. Went with a hardshell finally and will never go back. Up and down in 30 sec, solo. I have a new Alu-Cab Shadow Awning as well but I havent got it mounted yet.



Got the powerfold tow mirrors on. OEM from Roman.



Here's the mock up to test it. Used the KTJO 4x4 harness.



Testing 1...2...3...they work



RCI Armor



Dog tax
