Daytonaviolet’s Blizzard Pearl Build

I have a Limited to TRD parts list when your ready

 

You have done awesome with your limited! I have a 2010 Limited with all the bells and whistles yours has, so it's helpful to see what all can be done to it! I recently took mine to a shop who said they could do the bumper conversion....turns out they had zero clue what they were talking about. All they did was paint the bottom portion of the current bumper black. I did switch out the hood to a TRD hood with the scoop, have ordered the pro rack, got TRD wheels last year. Where did you find your predator steps? I'm thinking that's next for me. Also, have you plastidipped your chrome door handles? If so, how did it affect the lock/unlock sensors?

 

Thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to build something unique that I wanted

I got my predators used from the forums. But I’m thinking up getting sliders. As for my door handles, they are still chrome. I want to get them painted but it’s pita to remove all 4. I don’t believe paint will effect the sensors.

 

thats a great looking project. thanks for sharing. im picking up a 2014 limited in blizzard pearl and looking to replace that horrendous limited front end. did you score your front end new or used? TRD or SR5? also Do you know if the grille pieces are universal from the limited to the SR5? thanks in advance!!

 

I got my front bumper new. Only difference between Sr5 and TRD bumper are the slits for the valance. The TRD have open slits so the valance can be held in with clips. The Sr5 does not. But the slits are embossed so you can just make your own slits.

all Sr5 and Pro grilles are same. limited is different.

There’s a parts list on this thread somewhere.

 

thanks for the reply i saw your list of mods but didnt see a parts lift. im new to the furom and still trying to figure out how to navigate the page haha. ive looked at partify and they will match paint to the vin # and free ship which is nice, but i figured you gentleman on here would know whats what when it came to replacemnt body parts

 

parts list, not lift sorry for the typo

 

Her’s the parts list. It’s best viewed on your PC.

thanks for the parts list. incredibly organized! i also watched the video on removing the running board cover as well. very informative. thanks for sharing.

 

Let me know if you have any questions

 

Wow, what a killer build!

 

Why hello there my fellow ex-M3F member! LOL

Loving the build, bud. Very well executed, not surprising

 

wassup .. thanks for the kind words. modding is what it’s all about

 

Hey quick question. Did your limited have the xreas system? And if so did you disconnect or keep with the bilstein lift? I just got my 2014 limited and all 4 shocks are leaking and need to replace to pass md state inspection. I’ve been reading horror stories about replacement cost of xreas system. Not sure what route to take in this.

 

Yes I had the xreas suspension. I removed it and replaced it with the trd pro Bilstein suspension. mine was running okay, but I wanted a beefier suspension with a lift.

 

So you motivated me

Cheers

 

Looks great. Plastic dip ?

 

Yes

 

Alpha Rex Nova Series

 

Here’s the cutoff

 

Raptor

 

Much cleaner than yellow IMO. Looks great!

 

Yes everyone white runner I see has amber .. thought i try something different

 

how difficult to install that trd pro roof rack?? it looks nice! good job!

 

Putting it on is very simple and uses stock holes. Just need install package (bolts and washers). Hardest part was removing oem bolts. They remove as a pair on a clip. Each pair of bolts needs to be removed a special way or the clip may fall off onto the head liner.

 

Cut off looks good! How's the light output during nighttime driving?

 

I like it much better then my LED’s in halogen projector. Also the output is bright and wide enough, I don’t use my LED fogs.

 

Hello, waiting for my 2021 SR5 Premium to arrive. It's white, the only color I buy on all my vehicles. Question, on the front and back black bumper covers that the Pro has, how are the attached to a SR5 bumpers? Can you just buy the covers ? Thank you

 

they are attached the same in Sr5 bumpers as trd bumpers. It uses a clip which slides onto the back side of the valance.

only difference is the Sr5 bumper does not have the slats cutout for the valance. They are only marked. You’ll have to take a dremel to create slats on the Sr5 bumper for the valance tabs.

 

Thank you, appreciate the quick reply.
Not sure I want to start cutting on a new vehicle (Dremel)
May have to figure an easier way if possible.
How did you score on a Scooped hood ?
