Daytonaviolet’s Blizzard Pearl Build

Okay now I need to hustle & make that money. Otherwise the wife... "why do you need 3 vehicles?"

Wait, what if the 6th gens suck. Lol
Ryan.

 

I have 3 cars now

I think it will be an improvement then the current 11yr old 5th gen.

 

My problem is that I may be buying a $50k dually as my work truck is oldish & no warranty. I need reliability for work...
Just, please don't count me out!
Ryan
P.S. I currently have 2 vehicles and she has one (the new one)!

 

Strange how the wifey always gets the new cars...lol

 

great build thread and that was a close call making sure it cleared the garage! nice pic of that measuring tape... ; - )

 

Hey, hold on a gosh darn sec -- does everyone have one of these trays in their armrest cubby?! The tray where you can put a phone and with the coin holder thingamabob?! Cause my Limited came with just has the cavernous cubby -- not removable tray on top. Was I robbed?!

 

After waiting 5mo and 9 days. Gobi ladder arrived this week and installed over the weekend. Its a stealth, no rise with light bar option. It’s worth the wait

 

How was the install? Shame I'm not local, I'd scoop up that TRDP rack off your hands

 

Trd pro install is like 15min. Hardest part is removing oem rack carefully so clip does not fall onto head liner.

 

Gobi install was easy. But it’s at least a two man install when lifting the gobi rack (70lbs) onto roof top.

 

When you look up your rack on the Gobi site, it shows the ladder pictured in the diagram. Is that included, or ordered separately?

 

It’s included. But last year I had purchased the trd pro gobi ladder. So now I have two

 

Added the TRD exhaust m. Love the exhaust note and side tips.

side by side comparison. Trd muffler seems a bit lighter.

This truck is Legit

 

Nice one mate... Looking good. Just curious, are your front mudflaps original? Sorting out the slight rub issue with mine.

Cheers,

Sean

 

they were, but I removed them after getting my body mount chop done.

But before, I had a very small mud flap rub in reverse backing out of the driveway. This was even with 4.5 degree caster. Most likely caused by the 1.25” spidertrax and 285/70/17. I’m planning to run a bit more aggressive wheels and tires soon so I did the bmc and removed the flap completely.

Here’s my bmc. It’s the aggressive S style bmc.

 

Thanks for the quick reply mate, and makes complete sense. Looks great!!

Cheers,

Sean

 

Got some new wheels and shoes

Do you ever stop? Lol That truck is built!
Congratulations & beautiful truck,
Ryan.

 

I know right. Just a few more mods

 

What is left in store? If I may ask...
Ryan

 

I need a rack light and rear rack lights. I have a winch bumper but no winch.

 

Let me start by congratulating you on such an impressive build! I am in the same boat as you were. I need the creature comforts that Limited provides. Also the full-time 4WD. This truck will be our primary vehicle that the wife will mostly drive. Although the part-time system in the Pro might hold an edge in outright off-roading ability, I believe the full-time system provides more traction in daily use. Easier to use as well. All's good, but I just can't bring myself around to liking that front end on the Limited. Your build is an inspiration! Now, I am convinced on the route I want to go. Your excel sheet has become famous in the forums and I already have started poring over it

Have a question for you. Sorry if it has been asked already. Did you color match the TRD Pro bumpers or does Super White match well with Blizzard pearl? Tbh, I can't tell from the pics. Also, did you eventually get around to relocating the park sensors?

Appreciate the help!

 

Kinda out of order. I had installed the C4 low pro bumper before getting the wheels. I still need to install the high clearance and winch.

 

Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad to help out in anyway I can. I felt exactly same way your feelings now with the limited .. lol

I ended up painting the trd front/rear bumper and hood blizzard Pearl color. Bright white is too far off.

as for sensors, I still have not installed them. I’ll try to install them after installing my high clearance addictions for my C4 bumper. After cutting the bumper, I’ll have a better idea where to install the front sensors.

 

Hey guys,

I added this module to my truck which allows your windows to roll up with the key fob. It piggybacks to your obd2 port and one of the trucks harness. Now I can roll 4 windows up and close sunroof with my key fob.

Gobi with ladder always looks clean but it’s so damn tall. No way that’ll fit in my garage with mt. Hood rtt. That’s why I’m sticking to prinsu.

 

Thanks. That’s why I opted for the stealth w/no rise to clear my garage.

5.5” - stealth rack w/ no rise

7” - stealth rack

8 3/4” - ranger rack

 

That is a lot of wiring! I believe Carista will accomplish this also; maybe not on your Limited... I always forget you have a Limited. Let me know if you want to borrow mine! If it is a lot of work.
Ryan.

 

Lol.. it’s just two plugs. I installed in the dark. The cool thing, windows also roll up when using the smart handle to lock the door.
