Pops' Build Sachi-Supercharged, LT Prelander

Well I've been meaning to do this for awhile so here we go. Starting this build thread for the old mans rig. This has gone through a few iterations since we've started this journey like most things as you learn and adapt to use case. Initially, this build started life as a Stage 2+ from TAV. But since then we've added and changed a few things.

The goal was an overlanding build and some Baja runs. Well since we've done this I've built a rig and now the needs of going a bit faster etc have slightly changed his build. We plan on potentially doing some Norra events and more Baja runs, Vegas to Reno etc but we will see. The truck is currently in the shop for a full revamp. I'm sure I forgot a few things. More to come!

I thought this was your old man’s truck, did he go a different route?

 

This is his truck. lol just making a build thread for it. Since he's not on here

 

Ok, I seen you were making the build thread but I thought he had the MT’s in the all terrain version

 

He first had Toyo MT's now on the Ko2 but may change to the Baja boss AT. He likes the fact the ko2 is a bit lighter.

 

Gotcha! I knew he changed but obviously I am behind. Very nice build!!

 

Rey, can you snap a photo (or ask your dad to) of the blue sea holder on top of the battery. Is the starting battery still in that location when that engine bay pic was taken or are those just studs and batteries had already been relocated to the rear

If it isn’t a custom part, a link would be much appreciated

 

Starter battery is in the stock location but moving to the rear. I think I have a pic let me see. The trucks at the shop so he can't snap one. Please hold

 

Looks like mounted to a plate with those hex’s and that plate is vhb’d to the battery?
maybe?

I like it!

 

Yes, does seem that way. This was on of the original install items from TAV. The secondary battery lived in the bed in a case but all this is changing.

 

Build Update 10/10/23

Hover mode activated. The tear downs begun!

 

Who's doing the work?

 

Nice setup! Looking good...

 

SSbuilt in Phx

 

So…who is getting his take offs?

 

And here I thought my 6 ton jack stands felt beefy. That is just a mighty impressive photo! So few components left on the truck and its still just incredible to stare at

 

Still available lol most likely also updating the bumpers as well.

 

Any idea what’s going on with the other tundra up front?

 

There's a few rigs in there getting LSK kits and LSK rear link kits

 

I can swing by and dispose of them for you

 

With a core charge of 7k

 

Build update 11/7/23 Bumpers, front glass and all mounts off the rig. Bed should be off here shortly. The rear bumper is available if anyone interested confirming a price and will post soon. Hope to have more progress pics here soon of his build.

 

His build is going as slow as mine

 

Yea it is lol you might be done before lol

 

Looking forward to seeing more progress! Wish my old man’s tundra was that badass lol

 

I thought that shop looked familiar. They always seem to have some cool projects going on in there.

 

How about a little reverse engineering write up on those liners with the glass...haha??? I know Tav does them custom, but I have never seen him actually talk about the design, material, and how they attach them.

 

It’s just abs plastic heated to shape then screwed in. Same type of abs used for valence etc.
