    We plan to make a dual swing this summer. We won’t be retaining the BSM. The dealers don’t offer enough support and that leaves too much liability.

    I also mounted my 35” spare up underneath. Decided to cut the end of the tailpipe and tip off before I catch it on something. Used a 3” tip, sawzalled the pipe off, put the tip on. I did loosen the clamps, rotate it for more clearance.

    Deavers K37s. with the droop it was hitting the exhaust so at least you good with that now :)

    with your static weight, U748s would be a good choice.

    in my case: 1. it's a double wall tip so less heat generated closer to the spare tire 2. Tip extension sends the fumes towards the ground more 3. Looks less like a hack job too ;)

    Daryl took care of my gears and the arb install for me. He said ‘tell your tundra friends that hearing the front diff sucks!’

    My truck was sagging from the rack and stuff loaded on it. I opted for @Toytec Lifts add-a-leafs.

    I have a weekend packed full of work on this truck left. Rear diff is back together, just need to pump arb line.

    The front needs to go back together still.

    From there, hoping a few prototypes get finished! Looks like I’ll have skids this week.

    We leave next Friday for Utah!

    I’m using these super cool rigid scene lights. They were made for RV’s, but sell them now. Wanted to test them out to see how well it worked for lighting up camp.

    Over 100 miles of trails and more than 2,000 road miles later, I’m happy to report the tundra did great! Happy to have the rear locker on a few obsticals. Here are some photos from the trip!
