Dvan's Build

Purchased Jan 07 - 07 TI AT CG UG1

Daily driver, which I add up the miles w/ work & life in general. With 4 kids I only get out periodically to go offroad. So I have tried to make it useful offroad w/o going over the top and losing real day to day usefulness. I still manage to get an average of 18 mpg. So here's what I've done so far...

3" ToyTec Lift; 285/70/17 Bridgestone Dueller A/T Revo's, Graphite Painted Wheels (Duplicolor), Blacked out bumpers



Painted roof & C pillars did it myself!


OEM Rock Rails (traded stock running boards w/ another member)


Safari Snorkle


Gobi Stealth w/ lowered front bar, custom fairing & eliminated middle bar, Fourtreks Hi-Lift mount & 48" hi-lift


Custom shovel/axe mount inside back door


Little Passenger Seats 3rd row bench seat plus trail team bad w/ recovery gear & air compressor



Scanguage II mounted in Suburban overhead console also installed fj light into console



Parrot 3200 Bluetooth Hands Free



TomTom GPS on my old treo


10" drop down dvd player w/ 4 sets of headphones to keep the troops satisfied & quiet


extra 12v outlet & speedpass in map box

Hella 700FF - These are the same size as the headlights!


mounted the Hella's up on oversized nuts for spacers to be even w/ headlights & painted hardware black to disappear:


Marine fuse block for after market accessories


Mounted air compressor in engine bay (need to find suitable air tank)


Custom Bike Rack:

Re: Dvan's Build

Revo's have been great - only 2 problems I've noted...

1) I've got the largest size, would like bigger
2) Wish they looked a little more aggresive, maybe some lugs near the shoulders

Very, very nice. Any plans to blacken the headlights and turn signals?
