jba arms came in today.


35" kenda klever r/t waiting for the lift to install

just got my Ellis Precision shift knob in. I had one on my 2016 4Runner TRD Pro and I knew I had to get another when I picked up the Tundra. TEQ etched on the top. Looks great.

 

Jim,

Do you mind me asking what you paid for that truck? I’m looking at the same but I need a 6.5 bed. I think the double cabs are a tad less.

Sweet truck can’t wait to see when your done!

 

it’s good to see more LR’s get a build thread going!

 

The LR Pro double cabs are going anywhere from MSRP to +$10k over MSRP if you can find one. After tax/title/fees they start around $52k. I found one for about that much since it didn’t have any add-ons.

 

@jimbrophotodotcom what island are you on? We were just over in Maui last week and it was like Toyota city. Mostly Tacoma’s and 4Runners tho, but did see a few Tundras.

 

I live on Oahu. We love our Toyota’s in Hawai’i. They’re so reliable. Sadly Servco has a monopoly on Toyota so it’s hard to get a deal on them.

Picked her from getting graphene coating. Amazing!!

 

Installed wescott front lift today. And coachbuilder shackles and steering kit. Man it was a pain in the ass doing alone. I usually have a buddy assist, so it took longer than expected and i ran out of shop time. I’ll be installing the JBA UCAs tomorrow.

 

Got the UCAs on today. I’m glad they are way easier than Tacoma UCAs. I did the whole job myself in 3 hours. The hardest part was breaking the UCA pivot nut loose.

 

Wheels came in today. Christmas in July. I’m excited to install these later this week.

 

Where did you order the wheels from?

Dustin was great to work with. I suggest emailing them directly if you don’t see what you’re looking for on the website.

 

Thanks. how much do they weigh? any photos of them installed yet?

 

23.5lbs and I haven’t installed yet

 

those are pretty light. what tires you going to install with these?

 

I got these waiting install later this week.

 

Got the alignment done on Tuesday afternoon.

 

And the wheels and tires got installed today. All done for a bit. I got some other shit to pay for at the moment.

 

whats the weight of the kenda tires?

 

custom offsets says 73lbs. I didn’t weigh it myself.

 

looks sweet!

 

They look great! Any rubbing?

 

Slight rub on the front, I’m gonna push the plastic forward and see if I can clear without too much more mods.

 

otherwise the coachbuilder bumper shims aren't too pricey.

 

I already have them on there. Maybe I need to adjust my caster. I’m running 4 degrees right now. At 4 degrees I don’t hit the body mount at all.

 

I finally got the rubbing fixed this weekend. Just a matter of pushing the fender liners forward and drilling new holes to put the body screws through.

 

will a chop be needed if running stock control arms with these wheels and 35s?
