Very nice setup. Are those painted fender flares? Did you order ones for a TRD Sport, or what?

That looks awesome. I have the TRD Off Road just like yours and you have given me some great ideas, and inspiration. Well done!

Thanks Mark! Good luck with that build!

Time to Enjoy!!!

I’ve been working on this TRD Off Road build for a solid six months now. Lots of upgrades, a few changes and a couple different iterations of wheels and tires. Feel like it’s time to enjoy it for a bit…

Current mods:

ReadyLift 3" inch SST lift
TRD Pro billet upper control arms (UCA)
Differential drop
Skid plates to accommodate the differential drop
Wheels are 17x9 +12 offset Black Rhino Rapid wheels
Tires are 35" Toyota Open Country AT3 - 35x12.5x17 (super lightweight set up for 35s)
Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood wrapped in matte PPF
Limited Trim Headlights
Baja Designs fog pocket replacements
Baja Designs Squadrons behind the grill
Westcott Lo Pro roof rack plus roof top PPF
Katzkin black leather interior
TRD Pro side steps
NYTOP Axel Dump Exhaust and rear tow hook
SIXTH Intake
Sound system upgraded

Looks great

What skid plate is that? I like the black and I like the clean front edge.

Build looks awesome!! I have finally started installing parts on my Pro Build. With Things continuously showing up and I now have somewhere to work on it in the warmth I’ll be installing all kinds of stuff. I’ll also be swapping the Fox QS3 Suspension out next month when my stuff is available. Otherwise great looking build man!

Appreciate that! Congrats on the Pro!!! I'm contemplating upgrading my suspension again. Let us know how that swap goes!

Sourced it on FM Marketplace - I had to find asked plate that would work with my differential drop

Thank you! Been a lot of outgo ($$$) lately...
Considering the Westcott light bar cut out for the fairing and a set of Baja Designs XLs across the top... Also wouldn't mind a set of coilovers for the suspension

Dude it looks great. I just bought a black ORP and shopping for lift, wheels and tires. I dig the light weight setup you have. Did it preserve your MPG's okay?

Also, curious about your experience with the 3" SST Readylift bc you mention here that you would like coilovers. I'm debating whether to go with that or spend the extra on Old Man Emu MT64's. Any input would be helpful.

Congrats on your new ride! Great choice!
I'm SUPER HAPPY with my tire and wheel combo. When the installers said they were lighter than the smaller ones that were already on the truck I was so happy. Mission accomplished. MPGs actually seemed to have gone up 1-2mpg even tho they are taller and wider. (I generally get 14-18 and live in a hilly area)
The SST lift has worked flawlessly for me. No issues at all, rides great and is really all I need for the type of driving and off roading I do.
I know the coilovers are better but you are talking $2k-3K more and not a "need to do for me". If you do some heavy off roading I would say spend the money. That is an expensive ride so don't be afraid to do what you need to do.
Hope this helps

Thank you, that helps a great deal! That’s awesome your MPGs actually went up! As for lift, I’m not a heavy off roader like rock crawling and stuff like that, but will be exploring hwy to off road situations from easy to medium trails. Quality ride is important to me, but it sounds like Readylift would be fine.

What kind of off roading do you do? And why you want new coilovers?

Same type off roading you are describing. I just know the Coilover set up is the right way to go and that perfection drives me a bit (OCD tendencies)
