Figured I'd start a thread on the mods we're doing to my wife's '17 DCSB TRD OR 4x4. The truck is her DD here in Houston, and she commutes from Katy (far west side of Houston) to Clear Lake (bay area) for school. The truck isn't the most sensible commuter, but it's what she wanted, and we won't live in this 'wheeling wasteland forever.
So, we actually started out with a very early '17 DCSB TRD OR 4x4 in Inferno. Then, on our way back to Houston from NOLA last New Year's Eve, this happened.
I'm actually really happy we hadn't gotten too far into modding that one. Once they pulled the bed to begin repairs, we quickly got a call from the adjuster that the truck would be totaled. I was able to pull the Shrockworks rocker guards and Rigid driving lights off the truck before turning it over to insurance.
So, we quickly bought this one:
Within a week, the suspension, wheels, and tires were on order through our buddy Dave at BRAVE Motorsports here in Houston. Took ADS awhile to build the shocks, but we ended up with the following:
I'm a huge BFG fan, having beat the living hell out of a set of 37" KM2s on our two-door Jeep Wrangler, and now running 37" blue label Krawlers on it. Not shown: Total Chaos heim joint CAs, Icon add-a-leaf, Toy Tec u-bolt flip.
Based on a year's worth of driving the Inferno truck, and my utter disgust with its auto trans, I knew a re-gear would be in order, but we decided to get the first round of parts on the truck first. So here's how that looked:
I do a lot of my own wrenching, but Dave is a friend, and one of the most talented fabricators I know, so we turned the truck over to him for the install. He also installed the Shrockworks rocker guards from the previous truck, and did the CMC.
We got the truck back on a Friday evening, Saturday morning we left to go camping in Big Bend Ranch State Park.
The truck performed exceptionally well, though BBRSP doesn't have much in the way of true 'wheeling.
