GoXplore's 2018 TRD Off Road Premium

I will use this thread to journal the "build" of my Barcelona Red 2018 4Runner Off Road Premium. Below, you will find a summary of the mods to date. If I have written a post about a mod in particular, that mod will include a link to the post.

This is my 4Runner as it sits currently:

And this is how it appeared fairly soon after we purchased it in August of 2018.

How does it break etc with the 285’s?

 

Looks great!

I want 285’s but didn’t think I could put on the TRD 7” rim

What made you choose the AVS over the other brands out there?

Post some interior pics...curious about your ham set up!

 

I've not noticed any lack of braking ability with the 285s and rock sliders. So far so good.

I chose AVS based off of price, availability and reputation. It's holding up well, so no complaints.

I'm actually going to work on installing my HAM radio today and tomorrow. I've been holding off doing it until I had everything else I wanted to run wires for behind the dash and under the carpet, so that I'd only have to take it apart once.

I'll post some pics when I'm done.

 

Do your Baja Design Sports have a small gap where the original fog lights were tight up against the holes in the bumper?

 

Yes they do.

 

Your truck looks great.

 

Thank you!

 

Those Matte Grey TRD wheels look really good with Barcelona Red. Awesome looking truck!

 

Thanks! I've done more to it lately but haven't really had time to hop on here and post.

 

A few recent changes...

• Switched to Icon Delta Joint front UCAs.
  
• Switched to the 700lb springs on my front Icon CDCV coil-overs.
• Installed my SSO slimline bumper, Baja Designs S8 20-inch light, and Comeup 9.5RS winch.
  

 

Looks great!

 

I dig it, up in Clarksville, maybe I'll see you around Nashville sometime.

 

Nice looking set up. I like your floor jack, especially the extension on the piece that raises up. Is that custom built or come that way?

 

New to the area. Just bought my 4Runner over the weekend and looking to see if there are any fun trails in the Franklin area.
