new member, new Tundra

hey all! thanks for the add, here is my 2013 RW limited. bought it the last day before PA closed the state for COVID-19, so of course I had to name her Corona

One owner, clean carfax, bought it for a great deal because no one is selling cars!! I workon cars for a living and I teach Collision Repair at a Tech school, so finding the perfect one literally just fell in my lap.

Sold my old 2000 F350, and put $11k down on the Tundra...

use it every single day, its my toy and work rig. Towing, haul by dirt bike and quads, etc.

Bought it completely stock, have already done the following:

5% tint all around
Tinted taillights
FOX 2.0 Coilovers and Shocks (leveled the front)
ALLA Lighting LED 6000k Headlights and 4300k Foglights
Red Tow Hooks
Tonneau Cover
Husky Liner Floor Mats
New spark plugs

Only other mod that I am doing is N-FAB RKR Rails W/O steps. Other than above list, truck will be kept stock. I am just thankful to have something reliable lol.

Had a 2000 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed, 7.3 diesel. That F350 I swore I would never sell, but it just became too much of a pain and expensive. Way to much to maintain and not enough $$ return...

Thanks for the add! find pics attached!

How you liking those fox 2.0’s? Did you have to adjust for lean?

 

Thanks all for the compliments!

I really like the Fox 2.0's. I really did extensive research before purchasing new coil overs or a lift kit; but personally not a fan of "block" lift kits. This set up right out of the box was perfect. The front coil-overs were already pre-set, both collars were half way up on the shock body. Both coil overs were set at the same exact setting, too. Which is pretty good quality control in since they ship in separate boxes. Literally took them out of the box, and installed. They gave it the perfect lift. I measured the back towards the front, and the back is .5" higher for rake/towing.

Once complete I took it to my local Toyota dealer for alignment, caster, camber, were all in spec. Only thing that needed adjustment was Toe. NO need for any aftermarket control arm.

Ride is softer than stock, however it absorbs more. Almost reminds me of a trophy truck, i.e. the body of the truck is still and all the suspension is moving under it. Shocks are realllllllly smooth! I can literally take a turn at 60mph and there is no body lean. Pretty impressive.

Recently took it off-roading as well, couldn't be any happier. Absorbed all of the bumps great and I was going pretty fast too lol.

Some people also say to go with the 2.5's because the shock body is bigger. They are a lot more money, and they were over-kill for what I use it for. 2.0 shock bodies are perfect, they are shipped with 2.0" from the factory; they did this for a reason.

2.5" shock body would be a really rough ride, similar to my F350.

 

that thing is badass

 

thank you!

 

thanks! once everything opens back up, I am taking a trip to Raush Creek!
