What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

I just drilled 3 holes in the grill.

 

Thank you for your service!

 

Nice!! How do they feel bro??

 

Upgraded suspension. Bilstein 6112 front with 5100 Rear Shocks and a TRD Sway Bar. Loving it! Handles so much better!

Before:



After:

 

You'll have to let me know how it handles down the stretch, that's one of the exact setups I'm thinking about (minus the sway bar).

 

a lot better than my worn out Pro comp ..they are very nice tires. Got a good price locally. 33"s perfect size for tundra with just a leveling kit.

 

I hear that! I jumped to my AT2's from my stock bridgestone duelers.
I kept hearing 275/70's were too small and skinny for a 3/1 level, I think they're perfect. If anything, I WOULD go a little wider. Pumped you're riding in style again!!

 

new shoes on !

 

Definitely. I've got about 150 miles on it. It breaks in a little more everyday. It's night and day from my OEM setup that had 160k on it. The sway bar tho, HUGE performance increase when cornering. Im 2wd tho

 

VERY nice upgrade! I just got rid of my spacer kit for 5100's. They're a step below 6112's but still a huge upgrade. Enjoy.

 

Aloha, put about a 1k miles on my rig after upgrading it. Handles so smooth.. 07 crew max

 

I finally got some pics! I am SO happy with the outcome.
So I did 5100's all around (front set on top setting). I also got a .5" shim from CoachBuilder for the front drivers side to help with the famous drivers lean. It's perfectly level now. Then I did @Coachbuilder1 +2's with the poly bushings and carrier bearing drop. I am now exactly 1" higher in rear which is exactly what I wanted. Now when I tow I am perfectly leveled instead of having a saggy rear end. The ride is so much better and smoother. I think the CoachBuilders are a huge reason why (highly recommend them BTW.)
Next on the list...I am powder coating the rims black and getting new BFG KO2 285-65-20 put on.
There's a lot more after that but the bank account keeps slowing me down! Weird how that works.

 

Wash and wax

 

Added Caltrend "I can't believe it's not leather" seat covers.

 

Looks great!! That's wierd though, my truck has a 3/1 level, only .25" drivers lean (not noticeable enough to worry about) and I'm actually exactly 1.5 higher in the back. Might be because I have a DC.
Ooh those rims are gonna look awesome blacked out! Did you get spacers for the rims?

 

@Law323 Thanks man!
Ya that is weird. Must be because of cab configuration.
& yes I figured powder coating them is a lot cheaper than new rims. I'd love new rims with more offset but would rather put the money elsewhere for now.
What are your opinions on spacers?? I'm not opposed at all to spacers but have heard people have zero issues and I've heard some horror stories.
@csuviper dont you have spacers?

 

So where do the horror stories come from? Cheap spacers that aren't hub centric?

 

Damn good lookin ride.

 

I've heard both good and bad sides of it. I don't know enough about them to form a solid opinion. But if I had to guess - as it usually always is - you get what you pay for. Luckily enough, my tires don't rub or come so close to the UCA that I'd be flipping out on every turn. My plan is save up a bit over the next few months and invest in some wheels with a 25 offset. Sucks that chrome rims are a good bit more expensive than their black milled counterparts. I like black as much as I like chrome, but with my slate color, I just think chrome'd look slightly better. Don't worry, I'm setting cash aside for other mods while saving for rims LOL!! Just ordered the part for my info system mod and my in cab LED conversion! Don't tell my wife.

 

The KO2's that I want are only 11.5" wide and 34.5" tall. The wheels I have now came with my TX Edition and are a 35 offset I believe. Shouldn't be any issue rubbing.
The chrome wheels would look great on your truck, especially if you keep the chrome bumpers. It's funny...just when I think I'm happy with the truck, I see someone else's awesome truck and get more ideas. It's never ending.

 

I'm Dave an I'm addicted to modding my truck. Waiting patiently for the self help group to accept new members. I'm Dave and I'm an addict.

 

This is solid advice. I was told the same on my Tacoma. Ran them for longer than any relationship I've ever had. No issues. Just check them love them and your golden.

 

Mahalos! It was about 8g with shipping and labor to get everything to Hawaii. 6'' Rough country, 2.5 Icons+ AAl, 35's Nitto trail grapplers with 20'' fuel mavericks. Not done yet though.. Planning to get a camper and build a custom roof rack like this:

 

Oh then you're set!
Im keeping the bumpers and tying it up with some chrome nerf bars in place of the running boards I have now. (That's the plan for now)
Tell me about it! The 3/1 and tires were my first mod EVER! Now I'm looking for more LOL
