Most rigs look the part; very few are actually built to survive it. From the aggressive looking front end to the hidden parts that make this rig ready to take on anything, here is the full DNA of Voodoo.

   Walking up, you’re met with a meaner face: Attica 4x4 Apex Series Headlights and a Terra Series Stealth bumper housing a Smittybilt XRC 9.5k comp winch. When night falls, the trail lights up like a stadium thanks to a full Diode Dynamics light suite: SS3/SS1 Pro ditch lights, SS3 Max fogs, SS5 Pro bumper spots, a 40” roof bar, SS2 chase lights out back, and 14 RGBW rock lights to keep the vibes (and visibility) high all controlled by Diode Dynamics D-Switch.

   My 4Runner's stance isn't just for show. He’s rocking Dobinsons MRR extended travel (front) and long travel (rear)shocks. The geometry is perfected with Apache Offroad rear sway bar links, rear upper and lower links, panhard bar and UCAs, Super Pro LCAs, Total Chaos spindle gussets, and Marlin Crawler Cam Tab gussets.

   It sits on Circuit Offroad Hayford wheels in 17x8.5 -10 colored (Champagne Bronze) and wrapped in Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. To keep the underside pristine, we’ve got a fortress of RCI Steel skids and Southern Style Offroad sliders. Nothing is left exposed!

   Up top, a Prinsu rack carries the essentials: Rago Fabrication E-MSP panels, RotoPax, Thule Adventure box from the 90s, and MaTrax MKII boards. For camp life, the OVS 180º awning provides the shade, while the Wilco Hitchgate Solo swings out to reveal a full fold-down kitchen/bar station.

   Tuned with a Yotawerx tune (@805tacomatuning), Experimental Designs Freedom Locker, Iconic Fabrication Trans Cooler, Ripp Mods Catch Can, and the Rago Aqua Tank this 4runner is running optimally.

   Ready to hit the trail and stay in communication with the rest of the world? Well this 4runner is! A full Rago Fabrication dash mount for an iPad running maps, Driver/Passenger phone mounts and Midland MXT575. There’s even a 1/64 scale mini-Voodoo magnetized to the dash to keep the energy right.

   How rad is this build?! If you had to pick just ONE mod from this list for your own rig, what would it be?

WHY ATTICA

What do you love about being a part of our brand/community?

What I love most is the people behind the brand. I’ve always believed in choosing who I work with based on the integrity and vision of the team. That level of trust is exactly what allows me to push my 4Runner to its fullest potential. Knowing I’ve got a crew in my corner that’s as committed to the dirt as I am and open to feedback, good or bad.

What would you like viewers to learn or take away from your setup/build?

I want viewers to see that a truly capable build starts with the people behind the brands. I’m selective about what goes on this rig because I need to know the 'why' behind the part. By choosing companies that truly care, I’ve been able to unlock the vehicle’s full potential without a second thought.

Any message you'd like included in your feature?

Built for the trail, the laughs, and the occasional broken knuckle. We empty our pockets for the views most people will never see. This isn't just a hobby; it’s a shared passion for the dirt and the stories only a rig like this can tell.
