Hey everyone…

gonna try to document the rest of my build here. I have already done quite a bit to my truck

Here goes…


first tundra 2017 sr5 2wd the… “I don’t need 4wd truck”

I did a few things after this here and there, fog lights, leather interior, wrapped steering wheel, changed out wheels and ordered some armor from Eric @state48overland


Oh happy day



My truck sat like this for a while until i finally said I NEED 4wd

If your wanting a new vehicle its best to get your wife a new one first lol



Soon after she decided i could trade mine in for a pro as well

After some searching and i was able to secure a lunar rock pro from my dealership. It was pretty nerve racking, i put money down on it sight unseen before i had seen a lunar rock on a tundra in person. The press pictures truly did not do the colors any favors


Back to stock she went

Enter the new truck


Told myself I’m keeping this stock as long as possible… knowing i had a garage full of parts ready to go

Resistance was futile

Back to my Gramlights and pocketed about 2800 for the stock bbs

 

After this i tried to do small stuff around the truck to keep my busy… that did not work



I was very curious of my tss sensor would work with the bull bar on the grill, turns out it does about 98% of the time… I’ll occasionally get an error but it usually goes away within a few minutes



My boys at the beach


The wife and i were pretty heavy into off-roading and camping at the time so we decided to make a literal life changing (unbeknownst to us at the time, you’ll see why )decision to get a rtt. We mounted it on her 4Runner because she had a rack at the time





We didnt like the feel of the rtt on her 4Runner as it felt even more underpowered and now top heavy so we decided to move it to the tundra.. rack ordered




We got married and my tundra even made it on the grooms cake

 

I continued to build up slowly adding things here and there like trigger controller, arb dual, more lighting etc etc
Then i stumbled upon a thread titled “the dirty seven club”
I was more than intrigued

Cut cut chop chop

Enter the 37s



Remember i said we made a life changing decision?

Well I’m pretty sure my first born son was conceived in that tent



Baby Anthony is due in 10 weeks


Added in some onboard water


kB voodoo lockbox

+5hp per slap

Ive added quite a few things I’m sure i forgot to list but ill make a build list on my next post


Picking her up from here oil change yesterday… they parked her up front lol

For me, your truck is close to perfect.

Ay thanks so much tundra fam!

 

It’s a Dandy!!! Very Nice!!

 

congrats ! nicely built.
love the cake too...lol

 

Nice write up. Congrats on the growing family brother!

 

Quick update haven’t really done much modding. Not from lack of trying just waiting on parts to come

ordered nitro gears back in early October and they have yet to ship, considering canceling and going with another gear company.
Rcv axles on the way soon hopefully and I also have dirt king fab boxed upper and lower control arms. Gonna be a fun weekend rebuilding the front end once it’s all in.


our son came late October and I have really just been trying to spend as much time with him as he has really grow soooo fast. I guess it’s true what they say







Some truck pics for my tundra peeps!

 

Sup my man. All these pics are fire!!!

 

The man, the myth, the legend…

Thanks my dude!

 

How do you feel about the LP4's as ditch lights? I'm running them too and like them. I have mine angled pretty far out, do you have problems with light reflection off the hood?

 

I’m liking them as ditches from my POV. I feel sorry for anyone facing my truck when they are on though, probably like staring at the sun
I run them pretty far angled out as well since they give off such a wide beam pattern, haven’t really noticed them reflecting off the hood too much to be a bother but I have seen some raptor guys that run vinyl on the inside side lights to cut down on this

 

congrats on the baby man! truck is looking great as always.

 

Thanks so much Daniel!
