The 4 month $27k 2007 RCSB TRD Pro build (Full 2014+ conversion, Front Clip, Interior, Bed)

Just came across this, amazing! Was just talking about something similar. great work!

 

This is so cool. Are you going to make the conversion harness for sale? I really want the 2018 instrument cluster in my 2017 tundra platinum

 

Truly amazing! You should be proud of that truck.

 

One of the best threads on the forum...

 

Fantastic work! I really like the attention to detail.

 

Well done! An impressive build that most people wouldn’t even notice (I mean that in a good way)

 

This build is nothing short of amazing. Truly a one off, born again truck. You have some awesome talent bud.

 

Beautiful conversation brother! I wonder if the 2014 bedsides will fit on the 2007+ inner structure? I’m looking at doing this swap also!

 

Great Job on this build. I was searching for Toyota connectors, where did you source yours?

 

Which ones specifically. I spent a lot of time looking and researching. Some came from Japan, some from Mouser or Digikey

 

This thing is sick!! Excellent work and I commend you for your level of commitment. I love modding stuff but this is next level!
For how fast I think the 5.7 is in my big heavy ass double cab 8’ bed.. I would imagine this thing SCREWS!!

 

Just a photo from the camera roll. Probably one of my favorite photos of the truck.

 

Now...you just need to SC it and put the Sequoia AWD transfer case in it.

 

I know I know… I have the money to do it all right now just dragging my feet. Slight concerns on running boost through a 15 yr old engine with over 200k on it. I’m very close to snagging a 50k mile salvage yard pullout engine first. To me that’s the much smarter first move before high hp.

 

there's a member on here with like 280k on his SC engine... @snivilous I think

 

Insane build! Looks amazing. So many hours into this build, it’s gotta feel amazing!

 

You've done an amazing job on your build! I really like all that you've done. I love it when people take regular cab trucks and turn them into a Platinum level vehicle. I've seen a few F150 regular cabs turned from an XLT into a Platinum. If regular cabs were more plentiful in the 2014+ style I'd pick one up. BUT, they are over priced at the moment.

 

Awesome transformation! Well done!! Thanks for sharing.

 

Just go straight to building a forged engine! Then s/c it

They are only an hour down the road from me…

 

Truck is really nice. The interior is a beauty.

 

An hour from me as well.......

 

Spent some time over Christmas break pulling the dash all apart. I had to fix a short in the back up light circuit.

Did the full Auto AC mod, adding the room temperature sensor, servos, servo wiring harness. System works great and retains memory. Also added the Entune 3.0 headunit with factory car play. While I had it apart I cleaned up some loose ends and little TLC things. Wired in the factory backup camera and hooked up the second power port ect.



I also built myself another cleaner update CAN Translator for my 2018 cluster swap. Added in wiring for the blinkers ect. I had a new lens on order but it got canceled by Toyota due to back order.



Also some more cool photos I shot the other day. Scored a good deal on a factory white rear bumper from Toyota. The old one was a chrome one vinyl wrapped white. I wasn’t really a fan of that.

Maybe my new favorite photo.


Other photos


TRD Pro LED headlights and fog lights are next on the list..

 

Love it
I also have a lens on order - hoping it doesn’t get canceled.

 

I ordered mine last week of December, got an email they canceled on me a few days ago. If yours goes through let me know where your ordered. I want a new one for sure.

 

Purchased two years ago today, come along way since then.

Same truck, same parking lot, two years apart!

 

Any chance you still have the grille/surround?

 

Sorry man almost everything was sold or thrown away by now. If I did I would give it to you.

 

10-4

 

As always amazing!
