Off-road build - Toyota Yaris Forums

perro547 · 01-04-2018, 03:17 AM

Hello I have a 2015 Yaris le (North American) and I was thinking what my best bet would be for an off-road build. I have 17 inch work emotion wheel but was thinking of going 15 inch with a nice fat tire. What about lift ? Barely any info on lift kits , I'd like a little more clearance. I would be doing light off-road nothing crazy.

I’m curious too about this so I’ll follow this thread. I have no info about off roading these, but I do have some questions about your car here.

How did you tint your headlights? Did you paint or wrap your hood? Looks good though!

OEM scion xd springs would likely lift it a bit

I lifted my echo on oem first gen scion xb struts/shocks

There are several off-road Yaris' and associated threads here on the forum, but are you really planning on going from that very attractive street machine to a grungy, off-roader?

It's just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth, but your car looks fantastic. Turning it into an off-roader would be a travesty.

Edit: Found a few old threads, but it looks like the image links are broken.

That does look very

But, yeah, I personally couldn't do that to that car. IMO, it's way too nice. If I was inclined, I'd go buy another similar but not quite so nice version and off-road it. That said, I'll likely never own that nice a Yaris. Although I could afford a new one, I'm too cheap and enjoy working on older ones.

Sub'd!

Interested to see what you do with your Yaris if you dive down the rally / off-road rabbit hole!

^^^ So much good stuff on SubCompactCulture and YarisWorld..

Dig those wheels too man - going to make a note of those for when I get around to doing wheels and tires.

You could do something inspired to the rally version, something like this...

But I would not touch your car, it's perfect as it is!

Photobucket blanked the mini-spare-out-front mock-up photo I posted here, but it is going to happen...for traction, flat cargo floor, and a resulting look I don't mind. Also want a second tow hook on the driver's side...two two hooks makes a tow-bar mount?
On the OP's late model, the spare might soften the visual effect of that huge grille. (Does that grille remove w/o pulling the whole bumper cover? prolly not.)

Nice! Im doing a rally style build with mine (got rear ended so haven't made progress). I like the XD idea, also I THINK that flat out suspension's kit can be used to lift it. not sure, but im sure you can call and go over specs with them
