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

Front bumper is made by camburg racing, it’s pretty pricy but it’s super well built. I had the 2 piece stock front bumper with the chrome lower so I didn’t have to trim it. and thanks!

 

Nice! I like both the front and rear bumpers. Toyota should take a hint from these.

 

Has anyone used 5100s on the middle setting giving you a 1.57 lift with 1.5” strut spacer to maintain a 3” lift?

I got RC leveling kit on it now. Want to improve the ride. I got 5160s in the rear love them amazing. I got a set of 5100s but max lift is 2.28” I need 3” for 33x12.50 tires. Thanks guys.

 

In theory this should work just fine! I’m unsure ofthe ride quality though. If a better ride is what you are wanting then I would look into some after market coils like Eibach or OME and set the 5100 On lowest setting( may give you < or > 3 inches though) But if budget is in mind then I’d just do what you stated.

 

I like the Eilbach springs. They give me a 2” lift. So lowest setting is 0.87” plus the springs then I would have a 2.87” I would hope. What do you think? Price isn’t bad on those springs at all.

 

That is the same route I want to go. I currently have my billies set at 2.3 with stock springs and would like a little more lift. I’m still 1 inch lower in the front as I sit.

 

I have had them in my Amazon cart for weeks but haven’t gave in yet!

 

You found the spring on Amazon? Haven’t been able to find them. Can you send me the link? Thanks

The great blackout begins.

 

In for results...

 

Shit got crazy last night. Finished my radio and brake controller mounts.

One piece at a time

 

Wow... I think I really like that look. Any chance you can do a write up on what you did?

 

installed driver side WKOR slider. 10 bolts. 5 had to drill 1/2" hole in frame...it's not going anywhere

 

This looks really good. I'd be interested in how you did this and what materials you used.

 

Just the half ass one I did in my build thread.

@dtd608 Thanks!

 

Just ordered a back color matched rock warrior grille for mine, should be here on the 11th! I think its going to look much better with the color matched grille. Been thinking about either leaving the grille the way it is, or painting the platinum insert black and putting it inside the black matched grill surround.

 

All 3 bulbs were blown when I bought the truck, now that the cap is gone I was able to get them working. Love the light in the bed now.

 

Need to do something about that old chrome emblem in the steering wheel. Any ideas?

 

Plasti Dip

 

Paint it to match your shifter.

 

Deal. Thanks

 

Looking at the picture of my shift knob made me think of how shiny the shifter linkage is.

Covered it with a piece of wire loom.

Thanks again haha

 

Yearly oil change, Mobil1. 1st time with Fumoto drain valve, slower draining for sure, took forever to drain. It wasn't warmed up, maybe try that next time.

Also did a second (yearly) headlight restore; came out good enough to not replace them yet.

Wash and wheel detail even though we have rain forecasted. We had some red dust blown in from a storm from out west that we needed to get off.

Also becoming a non-fan of the black wheels. Just more to detail. Give me polished aluminum anyday! LOL

 

Oil change with Mobile 1, greased the three points on the drive shaft and checked the rear diff fluid; which turns out to be super clean. One think I thought to share with everyone is using a small amount of brake and caliper grease on the skid plat bolts. I originally broke the front two when I did my first oil change and didn’t want to chance the other three. Applying a small amount has really helped in removing the skid plat that much less stressful.

 

New tires : Michelin Defenders from Discount tires. I was impressed with their service. Had a 1:00 appointment and truck was in the bay at 1:02 and done at 1:45. The 3 member team got the job done well. Very impressed with the ride and handling of these tires so far.
