With a growing demand in Toyota vehicle especially the 2012 Toyota Fortuner, one thing some enthusiast will do to their Toyota Fortuner will be customizing it.

Some are getting old of setting-up their 2012 Toyota Fortuner for sounds specification (yeah those big subwoofers installed at the back and a ton of amplifiers and screens installed on it.).

Another customization for the 2012 Toyota Fortuner is setting up to an off-road specification which will brute image to the owner.

Here is one sample of a 2012 Toyota Fortuner that was set-up to an off-road specification; it's very apparent that that it is feasible to an off-road set-up because of the rigidty of its suspension and the frame layout that was used to the vehicle.


This project was called "Strike" maybe because of the striking appearance and performance; the said vehicle was a project of Jeff's OFF-ROAD Performance Center in the Philippines.

Here are the list of parts that was used on the said project--take note that some of the parts are personalized by Jeff's OFF-ROAD Performance Center: On the exterior of the vehicle, the Front bumper was from ARB; its Off-Road side step, Off-Road side rails, and Off-Road skid plate are customized exclusively by Jeff's OFF-ROAD Performance Center; a WARN SDB210 9-inch Fog lamp was added for those low visibility condition; and a SAFARI brand for the Snorkel.

Its 2012 Toyota Fortuner has its Suspension and Brakes upgraded; a four-inch front lift was done and a SUN 4x4 Suspension was used; also, the rear was lifted to four-inch was done via rear coil spacer and SUN 4x4 Suspension was also used; IRONMAN two-inch rear coil spring; JEFF'S OFF-ROAD rear lateral adjuster; for its front and rear shocks, a RANCHO 9000x1 brand was used; RUNSTOP front cross drilled rotors; and G2 Gear-and-Axles 4.88 gear-ratio for maximum torque for those tough terrain and need an instant brute of torque.


There is no major engine was made on the vehicle, however, an RV 4x4 Stainless full-exhaust was used from its previous factory set-up exhaust system.

And for its tires and wheels; NITTO Trail Grappler 295x55xR20 and XD Series Strike 20x10 -24 M.Black was used for maximum grip.

Hope to see a 2013 Chevrolet Traiblazer on the road and see how it perform.
