Brock’s build - 2015 SR5

Greetings all, I’ve built 2 Tacoma’s, 2 Chevy’s, and now here’s my latest clean canvas to work with. Easy start by tossing on some 10/10 condish OEM wheels and stock sized Wildpeaks.

Beautiful!

 

welcome

 

Wait, are those pictures out of order or did you remove aftermarket wheels and put OEM snowflake wheels on it?

 

Right. Those wheels appear to be some sort of FJ stocks, but they were painted black. They’re actually nice but yeah, went back to the snowflake stock.

And now on the new owner’s 4R. Looks sweet!

 

Ah, I THOUGHT those wheels looked familiar! Good choice on going back to OEM. I know a lot of people don't like the snowflake style wheels, but I do. Especially if you slap aggressive tires on 'em.

 

thanks for the feedback. The wild peaks looks solid against the snowflake. Next up for me, a front level to get this thing looking a bit more 4x4-ish and get a bit more ground clearance for off road season coming up.

 

Huskey’s added - floors and super aero bug / rock shield.

 

Lumen-X covers added today for the fog lights.

 

Pro rack installed. Drove a few hours to pick it up but the trip was nice and the folks were super nice! He had a ‘92 (I think) with 300k on it. Snapped a good pano of the TN mountains.⛰️⛰️⛰️ Leveling kit and new runners are next, plus some minor decals for personal touches.

 

A bit of personality added today via a TRD triple stripe matchy matchy to body color.

 

Got the faux sliders on this evening. They’re growing on me…and a nice change up from the stock boards.

 

Also flipped the Lamin-X covered fogs on to scope out the color…I’m digging that mod big time for $30.

 

1 inch Cornfed spacer added today with an alignment. Exactly 1 inch of front lift…and it drives and looks amazing (the drive part could be placebo). Exactly 3/4 of an inch rake now which is beautiful!

Subtleties

 

And with the addition of a new OEM TRD shift knob, this build is complete for the time being. Fluids and maintenance all good for now. New rack is waterproofed, and the rig is clean. Time to get some miles on it.

 

Okay one more mod…thankful for my local 4R owners who sell stuff on FB Marketplace. Toyota Racing Development skid plate installed!

 

Trial run with the roam case on the Pro rack. Success!
