Krezz' Orion Pro Edition

Congrats on the Pro.

 

Nice truck man, interesting name too!. My wife named my Black_Ops Platinum 'Zeus' and this may interest ya?....
"In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant huntsman whom Zeus placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion"
Enjoy!

 

I'm tardy to the party. Congrats Krezz. Welcome to the PRO family

 

Truck looks like crap

 

Thank you!

I've always enjoyed the stories. In our back yard as well, the kids always point out his belt so the name came through that.

If you go back to the past, you can be on time. har har har.

LoL it does...

 

Nice truck!! Congrats!

 

Thanks!

 

First Mod - Hearthstone

So you're probably asking, "Hearthstone? What?" As some of you know, I am a Warcraft nerd. In such, the term Hearthstone applies to an item in the game that returns you to your "home" location. Yes it also refers to a stone form of a fireplace, but for me this is referring to my "home" my RTT and #BAMF Bedrack. This rack and tent have really became a staple in our family as we camp once a month, so use it often. I love that both the rack and the tent get a lot of attention and questions. While partly because I'm an attention whore... but also I've been able to get two people I know of at least to purchase an RTT and turn them onto discovering new areas. While I have MUCH to learn yet of the outdoor travels, I'm extremely happy to inspire others to also get out and explore places around them, near and far!

This HAD to be project number one, as due to the sheer weight I feared having to move this. Thanks to 4 great co-workers, it got done in about 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!

*Better pictures to follow but plenty can be seen in my previous build.

 

Second Mod - Glass Darkening

This one I'll keep simple. Window tint the front to "match". So while a direct match can't be achieved, we used a 25% film to get it as close as we can at the shop.

 

Loving it already!!!!!!

 

I'm getting excited for home coming!! Our first trip is already booked as well. Canada Day 150th celebration on July 01st up at a park called Arrowhead.

I'm pretty jazzed up about it.

 

That's exciting. Isn't it fun planning camping trips? That sounds like an awesome way to break her in

 

Nothing better brother. Family time away from work and life for a couple days is always nice.

 

Yes sir!

 

Love it!!! Got your rack and tent moved before the plastic came off. Thats Awesome. Welcome to the Cement Family

 

hahah priority #1!!
thanks!

 

Third Mod - Them Ol' Shoes

I've had no issue thus far with my KO2s and as such, I figured I would just move them over onto the pro wheels for now. Always changes the look of the vehicle for the better. I can't wait until tomorrow to get behind the wheel.

Before:


After:

 

Nice, congrats on the truck and have fun shopping of mods

 

Thanks Dennis!

 

Fourth Mod - Always Use Protection

I had only used the rear Husky liners in my previous Tundra as I wanted to compare the Toyota OEM mats up front to how well the rear Huskys would hold up. Husky was a pretty clear winner, so for Orion he gets a full set all around! We also made sure to use the full covering rear liners, which go up under the seats. When I eventually get to adding a storage bin, I'll probably just cut through the liner vs replacing it with a smaller version.

 

does the passenger side slides ? My weather tech is very slippery on the passenger side.

 

No sliding at all it seems. I even tried to tug on it, but between the good size of the cut plus it has a bunch of teeth that bite into the carpet.

 

Fifth Mod - Let It Swing Out

Another mode moved over from my last Tundra, the Undercover SwingCase. Still an important part to carry my straps, booster and some other nonsense items. Holds more than I thought it woulda.



Next photos are from the previous truck, but thought I'd show that it will fit under an Extang 2.0 Solid Fold as last time this was a topic of discussion.

 

What size of KO2 did ya go with, 305/65 or 35's?

 

LT275/65 R18 atm.

 

Oh hell lol I should've been able to tell from the pic.

 

LOL it's ok - I like to reply to comments ... makes me feel wanted.

 

Ha fair enough!

 

My weathertechs slid around too. Huskys do not. As a matter of fact they have a spiked grommet on the passenger side for trucks without the twisty knob to anchor them down. @Krezz knows the deal
