What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

No disadvantages from my experience. Tire selection and prices seem nicer too.

 

Why not just insert it into the tailgate? Pull a tailgate 'box' with lights from something at the junkyard, something like a T4R hatch.

 

Yup, scumbag. Hope Bubba taught him more about "hardened shafts" and "extended travel" while he was in.

The company moved to Riverside, my hometown, shortly after. They honor any warranty on Donahoes and they'll rebuild them which is pretty cool of them.

 

Nice, I will keep this in mind after I do my suspension. Also where did you find those Akkon's?

 

Got it, I just ordered the gauge so I'll give it a go once it comes in.

 

I picked them up from Amazon.

For 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004...

I can usually get the kinda close without the arms. But 1st gen tundras apparently just don’t have it in them

 

Ah damn, I wonder if they sell them without the corners.

 

From one of my fave movie/book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

 

Soo who wants to sell me some used camburg upper control arms? I don’t wana pay full price just to pay for icon delta joints

 

I think when I upgrade to 2.5s I'll go with Kings instead now lol

 

Different company for the most part. But the Danohoe shit was bad

(what happened. Not the product)

 

Honestly I would've gone King anyways because that blue king bling baby

 

I would run kings on the tundra if I ever go further with the suspension.

but that ELKA stuff looks REALLY good

Last I checked, another company sells just the headlights assys for around $84. Its a no brainer to just get all 4 assys for a little more in cost for $116 Akkon.

 

I’d skip that company altogether, based on that news, even though company changed hands and the guy is now rightfully in jail hopefully getting some other internal justice on the side in there.

Never understood why someone would want to smoke something that makes them stupid. Compound their bad habit, with an already lacking IQ due to their own laziness, and wallah! we have our current society of aged hippies and younger millennial offspring stupids .

Many do not consider that the illegal drug trade funds many of these other illegal practices, including the one ‘shocking stuffed I’m a I con in prison now’ partook in.

 

I wouldn't look at Icon funny for what the old founder did. That sort of shit is not something one would share around the shop, I'm sure the employees didn't know. I didn't like what Jarred did either but I'm still eating Subway.

 

@empty_lord are these the coil spring isolators you referred to? Gonna get the 2885s from Wheelers based on yours and the sales guy's recommendation.

I want to say one thing to the Truck Gang Family. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that man, William Kreag Donahoe. I never touched his "hardened shaft", not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work on my Tundra. Thank you

 

Had I known of this prior to me finding them on CL I would have passed. It's a 150 dollar purchase that now makes me cringe knowing I have that fugn assholes logo on my truck. As a father of two young kids it bugs the shit out if me. I'll be looking for a set of Fox Factory 2.5 coilovers asap. Im running there stuff on my 3rd gen and it rocks. Thank you for bringing this to everyones attention.

 

Yes

 

@ESTundra937 fox 2.5s on first gens have more trouble than they're worth, biggest mistake I've made on my truck was being one of the first to get those. I would go Camburg if you dont want anything Icon related, or give the Kings a shot. Hardly anybody runs the Kings.

 

I think camburg doesn’t make shocks anymore. At least all the list on their own site is fox


And I won’t touch fox with a 10 ft pole

 

What about ADS? Have we found anyone running those?

His name escapes me but theres a guy here with red bumpers, I think he runs those. I haven't seen others on 1st gen, but a few 2nd/3rd gen guys had bad results in snow conditions.

Those Elka look really nice, I fear the sticker shock will keep anybody from being the test mule though.

 

Here’s a shot of the chrome door trim covered in carbon fiber vinyl.

 

I may jump on them next year... we’ll see. The big thing with them is they should hold up to winter a lot better since the shock body is aluminium. Ads/fox/icon/king all hate winters

 

Looks like I can get started tonight

 

I didn't know those were an option. They do look nice. They aren't much more expensive than King's or ICON's. If someone is wiling to pay $1,200 I think a few hundred more is possible.

No chance of these hitting the brake line either.

 

which LCA did you go with? OEM?
