2022 TRD OR Desert / Overland Build

What’s up everyone! Getting started on building my truck up to be a desert/overland build for me and my family and figured I’d share the progress! Started with some King 2.5’s with adjusters and some Total Chaos UCA’s. KMC wheels & Cooper Discoverer 35’s. I have some incoming parts that I’ll be sharing installs along the way!

Incoming parts -
Carven Exhaust - Cut & Clamp

Prinsu - Cab Roof Rack

DV8 Off-road - Centric Series Bumper

Baja Designs - 7XL Linkable Pods

Cali Raised Offroad - Overland Bed Rack

Overland Vehicle Systems - Bushveld II RTT

SPod - Mini6 LT Lighting Controller

Cheers!

 

@b6graham I was workin on it! I’m new here!

 

Installed the Diode Dynamics OEM Fog Light replacement kit today. Super easy install and came out looking great!

 

Looks like you have the Rough Country RPT 2 running boards.

I have them as well, I initially tested the Go Rhino boards but they fit like crap to me.

If you have the time I'd coat your running boards in bed liner, I used the Herculiner roll on stuff and it turned out great.

 

@Chomponthis not a bad idea at all! Thanks!

 

Installed the Cali Raised 10” bed rack and the Overland Vehicle Systems Bushveld II RTT. Super happy with the result!

 

Looks nice. Perfect height on that RTT.

Any change in mpg after installing the tent?

 

@Aonarch not a terrible change, been averaging about 13.5 mpg still

 

I’ve done a bunch of work on my truck since I last posted and figured it was time for a photo update..

 

So I see you have pod lights and a winch installed in the bumper. How do you reach in and release the winch? I was told you can't run lights and a winch together. Nice build!

 

Did you adjust the Kings for added preload? Or did you install out of the box.
