    Front bumper Leveling kit
    Hey all so at this point I've had the truck for about 2 years and getting the itch do some real mods. As it was when I bought with 103k on it. 4.7 4x4

    Well then I put a low range offroad leveling kit on it when I got tired of people asking if it was 4x4 or not lol

    That was it for awhile until I hit an owl doing about 100mph. Tore up my stock front bumper and decided to upgrade. Went cheap and got a dv8 off Ebay on sale. Was like 450 shipped to my door? Cant beat that. So put that on and a warnvr8 I had layin around.

    That lasted a bit before I decided to make a deer slayer style stinger on it. Wanted to bend a couple tubes with the new tube bender before I attempted an exo cage for my 85 toy pickup crawler lol.

    There she is with the deer slayer could've made it a little shorter to better protect but oh well.
    One more fun pic.

    Last pic is how she sits.
    List of things in order to be done. Lookin at 3 year timeline I would say.

    1. Ome 614 with 1.5 blocks in rear
    2. Jba uca
    3. Gas tank skid plate
    4. I would like a camper shell and different wheels. Preferably some alloy stocks if I can fit 35x12.5 without rubbing uca
    5. 35x12.5r18 unless I find some rock warrior wheels. Or narrower 35x11ish metric tires
    6. 488s and arb rear locker.

    Those for now.

    7. Re do the rear bumper with something towing and more offroad friendly. (Better departure angle)
    8. Full skids
    9. 37s-39s
    10. Front locker

    Also mix in sliders various lights and a bedside exit exhaust In there. Also maybe one day I'll get into a mid travel but doubtful on long travel

    well no fun pics but not too long after I originally created this thread i got rear ended so i now have an iron cross rear bumper so thats goodish.. Better than stock anyway.

    I was about to leave for college recently and heard my rear end making terrible noises... AGAIN. So i decided to speed up the build and ordered an arb air locker for the rear and installed it. Not a terrible install but it had its snags. I still need to wire up the compressor but shes atleast driveable.

    Then my power steering has been jacked for awhile and bit the bullet and put a new rack and pinion and new pump on it. Only took me and another guy roughly 10 hours to complete the job on a lift

    Then last week i found a set of Rock warrior wheels for 175 bucks so picked those up..

    Next would be i found some metric 35s for a decent deal so need to pick those up. Anyone know what it takes to get metric 35s under a 3 inch leveled/lifted tundra in the front to fit on stock rock warrior wheels? im gonna try with the stock offset first but i believe i need .75 spacers... ahh i dunno for sure any info is appreciated.

    Fun idea ive had lately that no one will probably have any info on it weather the transfer case from behind an a750f fj cruiser with a manual shift and the one behind my a750f in the tundra are the same? would be nice to have a real transfer case shifter but thats way down the road.

    Need some RCI skids before i really tear something up lol especially for the gas tank
