    Hello, everyone. New member here from Oklahoma.

    Recently purchased my 2021 TRD Pro in Magnetic Gray Metallic after my Avalon DD got totaled by baseball sized hail. I had been planning to get a Tundra, but it got moved up after the storm. I also have a 2013 4Runner Limited that I bought new that I've been using to tow a travel trailer, but it struggles up hills and I have plans to take it to the mountains soon. The Tundra was in order for towing purposes, but will also be my daily driver.

    Here are pictures from when I brought it home last month:

    After bringing it home, that evening I had the BakFlip MX4 installed... :D

    And moved the Scangauge II over to the Tundra from the 4Runner. If you guys have suggestions on the best placement of this, I'd like to hear them.

    Picked up my tires a few days later. Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75R18. I had ordered the TRD Pro lift from Westcott Industries and was just waiting for the tires to proceed with the install. Mocked it up to see what kind of difference it was going to make. I have to be honest and say I was a little concerned that they weren't going to fit. :confused:

    I had a local shop do the install just to save some time. It was worth just over $500 to reduce the time I was without the truck. What an improvement!

    They fit fine with the only modification being to remove the flap on the air dam in front of the front tires. There is about 3/4" clearance from the UCA's with these tires. They are 35.08" diameter and 11.26" wide.

    The shop tried to tell me that the spare wouldn't fit in the factory location. I told them it would, but didn't feel like arguing with them, so I just took it home in the bed. The next day I took the angle grinder to the forward bracket/braces the cut a notch in them. Then I could smack them out of the way with a sledgehammer. The spare fit with no room to "spare" (pun intended).

    I had ordered some rock sliders from Relation Race Wheels right before getting the truck. They arrived last Thursday and I installed them right away. I really like how they turned out. No drilling required. They use factory holes in the frame. These RRW's are a great product that are built super tough, are great quality, and come with excellent quality hardware.

    What the heck are you talking about? I've already towed with it and it was perfect. No sag, plenty of power, no gear searching. It's all good.

    Very nice. Looks good. Did you do alignment yet? Also I assume you used the westcott for the rear also.

    Yes, I had to have the alignment done twice because I could tell the camber was off. And, yes I used the Westcott kit on the rear also. It sits perfectly level. It ended up being around 3.5" of total height from stock.

    Nice, I have same size tires but was talked out of getting a spare, seeing yourself be able to fit a spare underneath just convinced me to go ahead and get one.:cheers:

    AJT Designs products installed. Blacked out with the exception of the knobs. I like the factory silver ones.

    Also named him “Riggins”, put it on a license plate frame and installed a TRD hitch cover with a locking pin from Rhino USA.

    Jerry can mounted! Wavian with the matching mount. Used the two extra brackets from the BakFlip MX4 cargo rail relocation. Works great.

    That looks soooo good!! I too am located in OK and must know which shop you had used for your lift install. I ordered Coachbuilder on Monday and waiting to get so I can have installed. Have been debating on wheel and tire setup and your thread helped out a bunch!
