    Beautiful rig it's killer and the build and adventure is great to follow. Can't wait to see the C4!

    From my limited research people have fit them on method 18" wheels. There is a template in the kit which is the starting point, so we will find out. Its taken about 2 months to get them here. I won't be going to 20's, I'll just go with a different kit.

    Took your advice, thanks for the suggestion.

    ICS Fab dash mount. With ram mounts. Also wired up their optional USB charger to charge the phone and GPS without all the wires hanging down.

    The other wire and plastic piece you see there is my Weboost cell signal amplifier. Finally got it mounted up as well.

    I ran it down along the frame and up through the grommet under the carpet just behind the drivers seat.

    Coming off tomorrow. Don't like the bar that hangs down lower. It hits everything. Had C4 Fab send me a set along with the bumper.

    Alright. Update Post.

    C4 Fab bumper on. Sorry Camburg Trail bumper, you have been great, but IMHO the C4 Fab Hybrid bumper is the best looking bumper for the Tundra.

    [​IMG]

    Big rounds are Baja Designs LP9s. They can see into the future, so bright, so hot. From inside to outside are Squadron Pros in Amber, then the Squadron Pro SAE street legal fogs great for night highway driving, and the S2 Pro wide cornering lights in Amber. Warn Zeon 12S winch, Factor 55 ultrahook and fairlead.

    More pics

    So many wires...

    [​IMG]

    Wired it all up to the sPOD with the tundra sunglasses holder switch panel

    [​IMG]

    Drilled some holes for the LP9s

    [​IMG]

    Painted it with this Wagner spray gun from Amazon

    [​IMG]

    Got the bumper mounted and promptly went camping to test it all out.

    We wheeled it wheel hard this weekend. We went to an off road park and did some rock crawling and this shit was bound to happen.

    [​IMG]

    No worries. The truck is getting a Kevlar coating in the future anyway.

    with the spod and the baja lights, can you get the LP9s to work as DRL ? I have seen it on some trucks.

    Tbh Im not sure. I bet you could.....but why? The LP9s as far as I understand, are not street legal driving lights, way way too bright.

    they are supposed to have a dimmed down feature in the middle so it's only one LED and very low output.

    Edit:

    https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/LP9-LED-Auxiliary-Lights.asp

    The housing was designed to provide exceptional heat dispersion by using Direct Ducted Cooling, which allows air to travel from the front of the housing to the rear. With a day-time running light (Pro and Racer Editions only), low, and high power mode, the LP9 will fulfill all your lighting needs.

    Ah ok that makes sense then. Interesting. Im not sure though. They send a fancy switch with the wiring harness that has multiple positions with different amounts of the LEDs on or off but it didnt really "fit" with the sPOD setup and switch setup I was going for. So I just zip tied the switch wires up with the rest of the extra wires and have a simple all on or all off switch in the cab. K.I.S.S. cuz Im stupid when it comes to electrical shit.

    Ok. Lets finish this.

    Got busy with the wifes 4Runner. She tells me she "wanted something badass too" so we did the overland lite package and took that to Yellowstone instead of the Tundra. Had been very hard on the Tundra and it needed some TLC before a long road trip like that.

    The 4Runner is cool too.

    Here it is in stock form

    20200201_170717.jpg

    Then we did some stuff

    Anyway this is Tundras.com so lets get back to the Tundra.

    Update: May 2022

    Ordered Fox 2.5's and was told 35 week lead time. Then SDHQ says they have some King 3.0's in stock. I snatched em up.

    Going on in this update:
    KING 3.0 STAGE 3 COILOVERS
    KING 3.0 STAGE 3 REAR BYPASS
    TOTAL CHAOS UCA's
    ALCAN LEAF PACKS (rated for extra 700lbs)
    TOTAL CHAOS SPINDLE AND CAM TAB GUSSETS
    C4 FABRICATION ROCK SLIDERS (removed M1 Sliders, finally)

    Disclaimer...was not in a particularly good mood when working on the Tundra so no actual breakdown photos for install. Just the finished product
