Wow! I got ‘a little behind’ on your build and Damn! This bumper, skid, lighting combo you’ve got going is beautiful!!

 

Hahahahaha!

 

ARB twin on Victory 4x4 Mount. Mount is super beefy, nicely done @brimy311 If it ever breaks, leaving it there and buying a new one, wee bit of a pain in the butt to get it in and out.

 

Dang, wish I'd known. I just moved my compressor from that location and have my own custom, 1 off mount I could've given ya.

 

Thanks Warren @831Tun , but if I have to remove it, going somewhere else. Will not do that dance again. Where is yours, I don’t have a better place?

 

I put mine between the bed and bedside on the right side. I'm 90% finished making the protective wheel well liner. Should be done when I see you.......... Holy Crap........ that's only a week away. Anything you need from here? Maybe a sweatshirt for Troy.....LOL?

 

Mint 400 photo dump

Got to pit for some of my friends at the Mint 400 last week, they raced in the 1450 class and got 2nd place. Had a great time, got to meet some cool people, and learned some stuff also.





Everywhere I go a white Tundra parks beside me.

 

what did you learn?

 

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

1 - SXS things are annoying on race course also, and seem to be made of cheese.

2 - Should have lights mounted somewhere other than my front bumper.

3 - Aluminum floor jack with skid is good, no need for wheels.

4 - General race stuff, rules etc., never been to one before.

5 - My front suspension is way too hard now, and my truck is a foot massager.

6 - Rest of it is for sitting around the camp fire.

*edit* 7 - want Lowrance gps

 

need to be relevant in the race ?

 

1. Agreed sxs are lame even the name is lame

2. Where ya thinking?? I <3 my ditch lights. But I need a long distance light for night time dry lake bed runs

6. Let's gooo! Mar 20-22 or 27-29 for my birthday??

 

Nice pics, looks like a good time.
“and my truck is a foot massager” ??? Do explain Dave @Vizsla

 

Must be the white fenders calling that truck to you like a momma hen calling her baby chick!

 

Ugh. Can’t get rid of them, been trying to get it wrapped, no luck. Gonna suck it up and paint it.

 

It’s a bit much on highway. Started the truck with my foot on the slider ! Going to do some sound deadening, and quiet exhaust. Should be good?

 

What exhaust do you have?

 

Dual in single out Flowmaster 10 dumped under truck. The exhaust by itself isn’t bad, it’s the motor mounts, bracing, and losing the engine cover that is annoying on long trips. Around town it’s not bad.

 

I understand what you're saying about the "foot massager" The new mounts make my truck buzz when Im idle in D. I didn't feel it with my old mounts so maybe these bushings are stiffer or something

 

Maybe one day I'll strip the interior and dynamat everything haha

 

@831Tun Warren got me squared away. Just need better/louder audio system. Easy peasy.

 

That all kinda snow balled but turned out really good

 

Thanks for coming out to help and support us. Great time

 

Welcome to the forum, Kyle.

 

North Rim Grand Canyon trip with some of my Bastrd and SGU homies, hope to see more of you guys soon.

 

Life has been busy, kinda lost interest in a build thread for a bit, the mods didn’t stop though, few of the latest. Everything EBC brake upgrade using Yellow Stuff pads, and EBC precision rotors. Huge improvement, dirty/noisy as expected, but noticeable improvement.
Had my ARB twin mounted under the hood. The mount I used broke and did some damage, so decided to move it. Mounting on the bed floor would be ideal, but no room. Built a mount for the original spare tire location since no longer used, and bought a harness extension from Ebay because I wasn’t convinced about the compressor location. I do like the location but didn’t feel comfortable with the Ebay harness extension - no markings, smaller diameter wire, but no voltage drop so might be ok?. Removed and made a super beefy one for peace of mind.
Air compressor mounted on the bracket I made located where the original spare was. Really happy with it, works great so far.

 

Killer idea man looks great

 

They never stop...

 

looks good. are you using extended studs or oem tundra ?
