Reata's 2016 Tundra TRD Pro Build

[Reata Rover]

OK, here it goes. It will certainly be progressive and cash takes time....purchased brand new from Toyota of Corpus Christi. Flew down and drove it back. Based on the best price and the throw ins (free schtuff)!! Here is a picture of the beauty at the stealership!!

First Mod was the install of the HAM Radio KE5ZCX

Very capable rig with the right Mod's.

Rear under-seat storage mod

THis is a great mod. This is the open version, but there is also a lockable steel version as well. Fits snugly beneath the rear seat. Worst part of the mod is getting the guts to hack through your carpet and the insulation beneath it. I highly recommend getting the linoleum cutting tool described. It's worth the money and will clearly make installing this mod easier. Also, I intentionally cut it a little tight and the container is snug and fits great.

Thanks very much! I'm still building, it will take me a few months, but I'm loving every minute of it.

Bumper Install

Got a wild hair this last Friday and hung this on the TRD in about 4 hours (singlehandedly)!!

Grill Off first....

Then lower bumper skin.

Off with the aluminum bumper and install the hangers.

Front receiver install

Always enjoyed the front receiver on my LR Discovery so I thought I would throw one on here. Makes for easy trailer moving in cramped spaces. Fabbed up this to bolt up to the winch mount. Turned out pretty good I think.

Had to make a little incision in the skin of the bumper to make it fit right and then painted her up nice.

Tires and some shots of my old 4Runner

Tires will be forthcoming, it's just money....hopefully in a few weeks I will pick up some new Duratracs. Still thinking about the size. I really liked not changing the size of the tires on my 4Runner for speedo, rub, and assorted issues, so not sure what I am going to do here. See a pic of the 4Runner below.

One of the best mod's I did on my 2011 Tundra was the transfer flow oversize fuel tank. It paid for it self in one summer of overlanding.

The 2016 comes with a big old tank. I think Toyota was actually listening when they installed the 38 gallon tank!!
