Potato TRD Pro build

[bigd9247]

I stole some inspiration from the trailhunters and bed mounted this arb twin compressor. It’s nice and tucked out of the way. The only unfortunate part is the factory ARB power harness is about a foot too short for the hybrid models so I had to extend that harness. It was a little nerve wracking cutting and drilling into the bed of this brand new truck but it turned out almost factory looking other than the silver bolts I used are driving me nuts.

Clean install! What bracket and stuff did you use for the install? Is it all included with the ARB or did you buy seperate? Thanks

The bracket I used was a universal bracket for the arb compressor and used it like a backing plate. And the switch and coupling mount is from arb but had to be purchased separately.

Any chance you made a video or could make a video on this? Would love to replicate.

The camo flares looks awesome...I might do the same on my Taco (if and when it ever comes in). I also noticed you camo wrapped the lip of your tailgate; looks interesting (at first I thought it was a glare or camera flash).

For me, I may need to wrap or paint the two end points of the tailgate BLK to match the roof. Since your truck is already black, it doesn't make much difference. But on other colors (Terra/Underground/Ice Cap), it looks a little off or unfinished.

@TX-BluStreak Yeah - I have thought about that too. I think my Terra Pro would definitely look better from the back if those fender areas were black. I think Toyota had a hard time finding a place to stop that black fender section, so they just punted.

Mine is getting PPF right now and they are removing the black tailgate letters and I plan to not put them back. I also plan to leave off the I-FORCE Max badge. The picture you posted looks nice without the black letters and this truck does not really need the extra bling IMO.

Hope your truck finds you soon. The Pros are awesome. I might consider the camo flairs one of these days too, because yours look great @PotatoTRD.

Yeah we talked about where to end the camo wrap on the tailgate and decided on to keep it similar to stock, because the issue that comes up, is where on the fender do you stop without it looking funny. But I agree on the black truck it’s not as stark of a difference as on the other colors. Just finished the last bit of camo on the hood today!
