Peeeheeuuu's Journal Entry

Almost there, my list is getting smaller for the truck. Hopfully I can finish it with no hiccups and I can get back on the other project. I'm really excited about the bumpers. Can't wait to get them. How's the truck running with the supercharger? Are you tuned? If not does it run good without a tune?

 

Yah you shouldn’t have any issues with this build. Yep them SS built bumpers, if not the best, they one of the best aftermarket bumpers out there. Truck is running fine, no issues so far without the tune. Just the fact that you have all that power if needed, mind blowing lol. I already have the bigger injectors and pulley. I’m waiting for my buddy re his pricing on some ARH long tubes. We will see, I still need to look into if we still can Tune here in Cali hahaha.. damn this state lol

 

Man sounds like I need that in my life hahaha. I was curious how the supercharger would run under real road conditions without a tune. That's good to hear and actually this comment will probably be the reason I supercharge the truck. I don't want to get to far away to where I can't smog it. Man, injectors, pulleys, long tubes and a good tune should really open her up. Fucking awesome.

 

Some pics that I had missed. TC +2.5 upper and lower control arms, limit straps, extended brake lines, TC LT secondary shocks hoops

 

A small side track for the Tundra Entry Log, I made a purchase for the wifey for Christmas kinda (took delivery on the 26th of December). Started ordering some parts already and received a few small things for her. It's a 21 Sequoia SR5. Wifey is really happy with it. Ordered some all season mats, trd plate frames, rear dobinson 1.75 lift springs. I'm also going to use my coachbuilder outer tie rods for the sequoia and order up another set for the tundra. Just trying to track down some kings and I think I'm going to take the wheels and tires off my truck and put it on the sequoia for the meantime. That means the tundra will be getting new wheels and tires soon. Way to start off 2022. Hope things turn for the better.

 

Another side track Sequoia Entry Log. I scored a set of King 2.5 Ext coilovers with resivor and adjusters for the sequoia, also have a rear dobinson 1.75 lift springs and I'm going to use the coachbuilder tie rods that where originally planned for the Tundra for the Sequoia(going to order another set for the tundra). The plans are to remove the old wheels off my tundra and put them on the sequoia (20x9 +18 offset fiveteen52 turbomac wheels on 35/1150/20 njtto ridge grapplers). I want to upgrade the UCAs (wishlist atm are the camburg kinetic arms). I'm also going to order the rear King shocks (10+month back order). Maybe I'll wait to install them or I'll be impatient and install them tommorow. Who knows. In the mean time, the tundra is back logged because I'm still waiting on my shocks. But it also means I'll be ordering up a new set of wheels for the tundra (wishlist atm are a set of innova8 G400 wheels in a 17x9 -12 offset and 37s). Ohh and one last ting for now, I ordered a set of 18x9.5 TE37XT Mspec in Mag Blue for the sequoia. That's all for now.

 

Installed the coilovers, Coachbuilder outer tie rods and rear dobinson springs on the Sequoia. Dropped her off at the alignment shop. Seems like automotive, tire shops I call these days are busy and or by appointment only. I was trying to get my wheels, tires, tpms sensors swapped from the tundra to the sequoia but it looks like no one around me could fit me in. Looks like itll be next week.

 

TRD Heritage Grill Came in today. Made quick work of the grill swap.

 

Few more items showed up for the sequoia. Got to work right away and slapped them on.

King 2.5 rear smoothies remote resi w/adjusters
TRD skid plate

Still playing the waiting game with parts for the tundra and the sequoia. Just a few more items for the sequoia and I'll be done with it for awhile.

 

CAT SECURITY cat converter shield came in today for the Sequoia.

 

Small mods today.

Black emblem overlays

 

Look what showed up on my door step today! Man I'm getting juiced.

King 16 inch 3.0 triple bypass for the rears

 

Swapped my wheels from the tundra to the sequoia. Very happy with how the sequoia sits now. With that said I think I'm done with it for now and it's time to shift my focus back onto the tundra.

 

Snow day with the wifey and kiddos. Unfortunately this was the only shot I got with the Sequoia. Needless to say, im very happy with how the Sequoia turned out.

 

Just a small update. Some of the basics for the Sequoia.

-Tire repair kit
-basic survival kit
-basic first aid kit (I'll be adding to)
-some recovery stuff
-tire pressure gauge

That's it for now

 

These showed up on my door step today.

King TC spec LT 2.5 coilovers
King 3.0 triple bypass

Unfortunately it's the beginning of my work week so it looks like I'll be starting the teardown on my next days off. The final piece are my coachbuilder LT +2.5 outer tie rods but I won't let that hold me up from teardown. This pig is going to nickel and dime me now cause I'm sure I'll be replacing the wheel bearings and other small nick nacks.

 

Just wanted to throw this pic in. This is how she currently looks at the moment. Transformation comming soon.

 

Are these 10” CO? Looks like 8” unless they don’t do the secondary springs anymore

 

I don't know, it's what I ordered from sdhq and it was advertised as King LT TC spec coilovers. It looks different from the coilovers on my sequoia. How to I measure them?

 

Gotcha! They know their stuff. I’m just so used to seeing Camburg LT shocks with that secondary spring on top lol

 

Your rig is gonna look clean AF

 

It's going to look like yours lol

 

That’s why I said it’s look clean AF haha

 

lol you right!

 

Picked up a Noco battery charger and my coachbuilder +2.5 outer tie rods shipped today.

 

I have that same charger, used it on a few buddies trucks and it's worked great so far!

 

Thanks. I actually bought based on what I read from here on tundras.com. I haven't used it yet but I don't doubt it will do what it's advertised to do.

 

Good stuff here. You might get some additional feedback in the Sequoia Build sub-forum too. Looks like you got most of it sorted out as to what you want though.
What do you use to get the rear springs swapped?

 

Thanks. The sequoia is just about done for now. I might start another build thread when I make further progress. I used a spring compressor and another body definitely helped. It was not to bad at all.

 

These showed up today. With that said I just need to find time to start the teardown. I can't remember but I read somewhere that someone running the TC spec LT king coilovers where having issues with the wider springs rubbing the tie rods and axles. I hope I don't run into that issue. I'll just have to wait and see. If I do, hopfully I can find a remedy.
