Build 16 TRD Pro

[wngrog]

I've had my TRD pro since February.

Superb vehicle.

I've got a 100 series that is my dedicated Overland/camping rig but the 4Runner gets lots of trail time during the week in Mississippi backroads.

Lots of these roads can go from perfectly crowned gravel to Ice slick in minutes with a thunderstorm.

I decided to add a winch but since this is my company car I thought I would keep it low key.

Www.pelfreybilt.com hidden mount. Excellent quality.

More to come...

Fits in nicely with the cousins

They do an amazing job with that hidden winch mount. It looks great!!

Looks good, comsidering doing something similar on mine.

How is the stock TRD Pro front suspension handling the extra weight?

I did the same thing with my TRD Pro, using a synthetic line. I can tell no difference in suspension feel with the slight extra weight, and there's no sag in almost 6k miles since the installation.

-H-

Can't argue with that choice for a "company car." I dig the stealth winch implementation, and the truck overall.

Thanks man. I switched out my roof rack choice to Prinsu so I'm still waiting on the next mod.

Tires coming soon. May bump up to 285s

I can't feel any difference.

I just added some Rigid lights in the factory fog light location.

Do this at the same time you do your hidden winch since it requires the bumper to be pulled off.

Super clean install.

Slee Sliders installed

It's the factory location. Just replaced the OEM. Plug and play kit.

Great vehicle.

How long was the install from start to finish?

 

[wngrog]

Putting them together is the longest part. Couple hours.

Driver skied took about 30 minutes. Passenger side about 10

Thanks...I 've been all over the place.....order Rocky Road sliders like last time and weld on a step (but this time make them the exact size as the stock plastic, and use them as "covers")....or just bite the bullet and get these. I think the Slee's resemble the stock shape and look closely, and actually function as a step loading and unloading the roof rack.

I am worried about using them as a slider, but knowing Slee's reputation, I highly doubt they would put something out there that isn't what it says it is.

 

[wngrog]

Yeah. No way these wont hold up. Total beef. If that is your worry don't worry.
