Here we go...

Starting my 2012 SR5 Overland Build. Will be fairly extensive. Will try to document it as I go. Stick around and follow along. Should be fun.

Will add mod descriptions as I add them here:

Weather Tech Floor Mats

Body Mount Chop
Napa Chassis Lower Ball Joints
Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP
(35/12.50r 18)
Method 316 Titanium 18 x 9 +18
Gobi Stealth Rack and Ladder
Tuff Stuff Alpha rooftop tent with annex
ARB Aluminum 8x8 awning
ARB Screen room
RCI Engine, Trans and fuel tank skid plates
Rigd UltraSwing Megafit Spare Tire Carrier with fold down table and cutting board

 

1st camping trip. Test run before mods.

 

Starting with these pieces:
Toytec 3/2 lift
Method 316 wheels 18 x 9
Dick Cepek Trail country EXP 35/12.5r18

 

I've got the same wheels!

 

Nice! Got mine mounted today

 

Got the lift, wheel and tires installed and body mount chop completed today!
Drives a little different but very good.
Dick Cepeks aren’t any louder than the K02s that came off. Ride is firm but smooth.
Jake at A Rusted Development did a great job!

 

Looks great!
Did you get upper control arms with your kit and what size front coil overs, 2.0 or 2.5????

 

I opted for the SPC UCAs and the 2.5 Aluma coilovers. Also got the 700lb springs so it sits a bit high in front but I am going to put a bumper and winch on there and then adjust to level.

 

Sweet!

 

What is the model number on the rear springs? how big of a lift did they provide?

 

2864

 

Guess what I just received

 

Gobi is on!

 

Install was pretty painless. Quality is excellent. Cringed when I spent the money but a little relieved now.

Only downside I can see is that I may need to find stronger tailgate struts come winter. Ladder weight slowed the stockers quite a bit

 

Dudeeeee looks so good man

 

Thanks, here’s an artsy one my daughter took.

 

Just done the grill so far but I just got the approval to do tires rims lights and fogs so I’ll be taking it apart soon lol

 

Tuff Stuff Alpha and ARB awning mounted

 

RCI aluminum skids installed today.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the quality shots, looks great!

 

Finally getting to enjoy this big girl!

 

Great set up, and fun too.

 

Where's this?

 

Bear Lake (Utah/Idaho) This one is on the Idaho side

 

Put a similar rack on my sons 4 Runner, after the first rain he called and said I don’t think we used enough caulk, taking it down to redo that project.

 

Been away for awhile. Wifey had to get another back surgery so Ripley has been waiting for me to get back to working on her.
Did manage to pick up a tire swing.
Stripped the interior and am getting ready to start the platform/kitchen build.

 

My snowmobile

 

Thats such a sick build! I have the Gobi ladder, Rhino Rack pioneer roof rack, and ARB awning waiting to go on as soon as it warms up a little bit.

With that ARB Awning, did it come with the mounts to mount to your roof rack? Or you had to get brackets separately? I bought my awning used, but am trying to figure out what I need to mount to the roof rack as mine didn't come with brackets.
