Brutus - 2016 Tundra TRD Pro

P&P Engineering Rock Sliders

Just got back a couple days ago from P&P Engineering with a set of prototype sliders for a crew max. These things are stout as hell and can't wait for the paint to cure to go try them out.

The mounting is different from anything that i've seen in the Yota world. P&P currently makes production Nissan offroad gear, but are venturing into the Toyota world starting out with the Tundra. Here in the near future we'll be building a bed rack, skids, and front/rear bumpers for the truck.

Photo dump, you've been warned!

Needless to say, i'm pretty happy with how they turned out. P&P is based out of a small town near Warsaw, Indiana. It's currently a two man show with the help of another Fabricator from time to time as they share a shop together. These guys went above and beyond what I wouldve ever expected them to during the build process. They also asked for my input during the entire build.

If you have any questions let me know. Once the paint is completely cured I plan to slap them back on the truck and go give them a test run.

P&P Engineering Rock Sliders

Finally got the sliders installed from P&P Engineering. I think they look great and should provide ample protection.

Looks like P&P finally nailed the pricing down to $700 a set bare and $850 a set powder coated. If anyone is interested, hit me up and I can put you in touch with them.

Some goodies arrived! Got the CVT Mt. Rainier extended summit series tent, the Front Runner slim line II rack, and the ARE CX HD cap in. The ARE got installed yesterday. I have a few buddies coming over tomorrow to help install the rack and tent.

We're looking forward to getting this setup and tested over the next few weeks.

Got the rack and tent put on the truck this morning... Soon realized that the tent wasn't going to work up that high. It was just temporarily up there for a trip next weekend, but I took it back off as i'm picking up my M1101 tomorrow.

Excited to pick up the M1101 tomorrow and start designing and building the rack for it.

Both those TRDP's are soooo nice. I finally put some money down and jumped on the waiting list for a cement double cab yesterday. No ETA, actually no guarantee I will even get the combo I want but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 

[MidwestOverlanders]

Awesome! You'll love the truck when you get it. Cement is a solid color choice.

 

[dorton]

Beautiful setup!

Can you give some detail of how the rock sliders mount? Did you do it yourself? Do you have any other close up pics for fit and finish of the sliders? I might be interested in some.

Any clearance issues with those tires and spacers, even offroad on switchbacks and bumps? 295/70/18 is a nice size, about 2" larger diameter vs stock. But most people have to do minor mods to eliminate rubbing.

Well, i've done a poor job about keeping up with this build thread over here.

To answer your question, on the Pro, these 295/70/18 fit without any rubbing. However, the STT Pros are really knobby and claim close to the UCA. I didn't feel comfortable offroad with them, so I installed Spidertrax 1.25" spacers. Depending on the tire choice a 295/70R18 will fit these trucks with zero mods or small mods such as removing front mud flaps or doing front inner fender mod.

Sorry for the late response. They have a lot of pics showing the slider and how it mounts on their website. https://p-p-engineering.myshopify.c...roducts/2016-toyota-tundra-type-4-rock-slider

P&P Bumpers & Skids

Truck is sitting a little different since my last update and a bit heavier. Looking at suspension upgrades next.
