Chronicles of SC_TRD the Tundra

Hey All,

Figured I finally needed a place to post updates on my truck and the trips we take.

Moving to Round Rock Texas soon, but for now in the Bay so will post pics of whatever new trips come.

The truck:
2012 4x4 Crewmax Platinum

I searched a long time to find a truck that was already modded and was being sold by a Toyota Dealership that had no idea what they had. I found this truck with TC UCAs and an Icon stage 2 kit (2.5 Coilovers and blocks in the rear) with some new 35” Falken AT3Ws and some pretty nice Fuel wheels. I knew it wasn’t what I wanted, but could at least sell the parts eventually and upgrade as I could.

Truck as of now:



Front Bumper and Fogs:


Switches & Radio:


After talking with @TG705 we both agreed to mount the locker with the provided rocker switch because of the lock it has and didn’t like the idea of how easily it could get pressed on the switch pro or SPOD by an unruly passenger on the freeway or just being dumb and accidentally hitting the wrong switch. Looks clean though!


Fun stuff:







I’ll continue to add and post, but cheers to our expensive hobbies and our awesome community here!

 

nice ! are the BD fogs connected to factory fog lights harness ?

 

Thank you! I actually went with Diode Dynamics SAE Fogs, but I did get the adapter so they were plug and play into the OEM fog harness.

 

Oh hell yea!! About damn time!

 

Need to show pics of how we jack that truck up

 

Pretty sure I didn’t use any pics with all of these 4x4s mounted on the jack! Really need a project to try out the Eagle Pro!

 

I’ve used it a few times, it’s nice but annoying that the rear wheels don’t swivel so you have to pick up by the handle to put it right where you want it

 

Rear wheels don’t swivel, and it cost how much?!

kind of lame, but I am sure they have their reasons.

 

Got this beauty on an Amazon Warehouse open box deal! Need to figure out a way to mount it up in the front valence above the bumper.. sounds like some cutting!

 

just mount it on the roof!

 

Such a joyous day! Looks like a new steering rack in the VERY near future

 

Shitttt!! hope you get it fixed soon brotha!

 

Oh snap! That sucks!

 

are those rci sliders?

 

Ask and you shall receive.

 

Hahahaha, definitely not the project I needed FML

 

All-Pro Apex sliders

 

New SS Built Rear Bumper finally arrived!

 

Nice!!! Although it looks like a dead body on a pallet.

 

looks like a TX driveway...
BASTRDS TX chapter..lol

 

It’s been over half an hour. What’s the hold up? How about a pict of the bumper installed?

 

@TheBeast definitely a new Texas chapter.. loving it so far! These lightning storms are a trip, but everything else is great.. not sure when the truck will get Offroad next though =\

 

Truck is still in the shop for the steering rack.. just couldn’t bring myself to being under a car that long in the heat/humidity here

 

labor rate probably a lot cheaper than the Bay Area too
