I traded my TRD OR Tacoma for a Limited TRD OR Tundra for Overlanding and Daily driving

Aside from Travis Hess' build, I could not find many overlanding rigs on YouTube on the Tunda platform.
I'm hoping to create a somewhat budget friendly overland build like I did with my Tacoma.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Awesome video.

 

Great video, thanks for sharing. I know I’m going to enjoy this build. My tundra is also my daily driver/hunting/wood hauler. Will you be lifting/leveling this beast? On a separate note, I really wish the tundra came with a real locker. I live off road (no pun intended) and could really see the added benefits of a rear locker. I look forward to your progress with this build

 

Welcome, Ed!

Can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

thank you!

currently no plans for a lift since in my daily driving I'd be parking in garages with Low clearance.
The lack of the rear locker really is a bummer! I rarely used it in my Tacoma, but it is a nice reassurance to know that it was there when needed

Thanks!

 

Welcome! Cant wait to see what you do for the tundra!

 

Welcome! Make sure you understand the implications of using plastidip on the grill with TSS.

 

Cool vid and welcome from the Avengers HQ sir

 

Progress so far; changed tires to falken wildpeak at3w (275/70r18) and hid some chrome (wheels and grill).

 

What did you use to paint the grill?

 

Rust-oleum black peelable rubber spray.
Makes a noticeable difference for 20 bucks.

 

Welcome from San Diego and congrats on the new truck! Looks like you are off to a good start.

 

Nice upgrade! Power wont be a problem anymore. This should help you get back one of your Taco Pros in your Tundra. I like mine!

I am following you. Nice truck

 

Thank you for the links!

 

Any chance we could get more pictures showing those wildpeaks in some natural light? I’d love to get a feel for how the 275/70’s look on stock rims.

No leveling kit or anything yet? And do they rub?

 

Thanks!

 

Took this shot right after the change. No rub yet, but I haven't fully turned the steering wheel yet. But I've made left/right and u-turns without issues so far .
I'll take some more pics later

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Looks great. I have a 18 Tacoma with trd off road. Tech and premium. I’m getting the itch to get a tundra or titan. How’s the leather seats in your limited. ?

 

Unless you plan on trading in the Tacoma, don’t sit in the leather seats, because you will be sold after that, lol.
They are really nice and comfortable with just the right amount of cushion

 

Sidesteps added. (TYGER). Placed grip tape over the steps to cover up the logo and stars on the platform .

 

Nice falken tires....git it? falken tires...

 

Wheelie funny

 

This is brilliant! I love those sliders but hate the step star pattern. How often do you have to switch out the grip tape?

 

I'm not certain, bit I did also a layer of 3m 9,000 lbs rating double sided tape for good measure

 

Great video and congrats on the new truck. Gotta get Linex!
