    Purchased a 2019 Platinum on 7/31/22 to replace my 2007 Limited. It was a one owner dealer serviced truck with 80K on the odometer. At this point I'm primarily swapping parts over from the 2007 I plan on keeping the suspension, wheels, tires, RTT/bedrack and Valhalla's from the 2007. I had just freshened up the OME suspension and put new 35x10.50's Kenda Klevers on the rock warrior wheels less than 7K miles ago.

    Picking it up and driving back




    2007 Tundra Limited


    Test fitting wheels going with the RW's with a 1" spacer up front.




    Pulled the running boards




    Went for a bike ride this morning


    Then spent the afternoon swapping the rear suspension




    Hopefully finish up the rear suspension tomorrow.

    Finished up the rear suspension today, soaked the u-bolts in the parts washer overnight. I'll order new u-bolts and a OME add-a-leaf, it's going to need it for the high clearance rear bumper that's planned in the near future. Any thoughts on U-bolt flip kits did it on my old tacoma but I also relocated all the shock mounts and towers.





    I had read that the OME springs and shackles rub on some exhaust systems, at full droop w/o shocks I was getting contact with shocks and under it's own weight I don't see any issues.



    Shot of it in the driveway, hopefully I can swap the front out on Tuesday and get it in for an alignment and the wheel sensors swapped on Wednesday at a friends shop.

    Spent the last 2 days swapping the front suspension over, Tundra parts are definitely beefier than my last Tacoma.







    Curious how the 813 coils will feel without a bumper and winch, we do have a front bumper planned but it'll be a while until we can start working on it with @STravis . I currently have 2 winches to choose from the Warn M1200 that's in the ARB on the 2007 or I have a Warn Series 15 in a box that I'm thinking may be a little overkill.


    On it's wheels again...



    I was able to come up with 3 spares tires and a jack stand to leave the old truck on. Rock Warrior wheels with 35x10.50R17 Kenda Klevers are cleaned up and in the bed for tomorrow's alignment and wheel sensor swap. Ordered 4- 1" Bora spacers and picked up a set of new TRD spline lug nuts and locks.





    It sure is a lot easier when parts come out of the box and go on the truck vs swapping parts from truck to truck but sometimes you just gotta make it work.

    Alignment done, wheel sensors swapped Rock Warrior wheels w/35x10.50R17 Kenda Klever RT on OME 613's and Dakar leafs rear.



    I found a solution for the NLA Rock Warrior center caps and it's a KMC wheel center cap T174K85-S2, I need to order some larger stickers but these worked to cover the KMC logo.





    So I've still got more to do but this will work for now.

    Went out this morning after breakfast. The 613 Springs are really stiff, looking forward to adding some weight with a bumper and winch.



    Dakar rears seem to be working just fine.

    Installed a set of Ironman Pro Forge UCA'S this evening going for an alignment in the morning.





    Bora 1" spacers added front and rear a few weeks ago.

    Installed the 1/4" aluminum Valhalla plates this evening, bought them used from a member in AZ and had them on my 2007. I ordered a Valhalla front skid that I'm still waiting to ship.

    Clean build! Digging the 35x10.50. Thought it would look silly on the massive tundra but it fits the truck nicely.

    So far they're great, inspecting the bushings and ball joints they look to be good quality so we'll see how they do over time. I really liked the way they looked and figured why not give them a try.

    Installed a set of Baja Designs S2 Sport Flush mounts using a Hotshot Offroad hitchpod harness and splitter huge thanks to Colton @memario1214 for getting me set up, awesome customer service and super easy install took less than 20 mins. Can't wait to set up the Baja Designs S2's, Squadrons and 30" S8 with a Switch Pros panel for the SOB front bumper that @STravis is currently building for the truck.

    Super lame, I keep getting texts and emails that my Amazon account is locked I gave them all my info DOB, SS #, username, passwords etc. nothing yet but when they unlock it I’m going to get a case of plasti-dip, neon led’s, a bitchin 105.7” light bar it’s that long cause only half of it works when it shows up. I’m in the process of trading my RW wheels for some kick ass 29” rims with bald tires and less than an 1” of sidewall. I can’t wait to do this build right, the guy told me it wouldn’t be long until the account is unlocked but in the meantime I gave him my credit card and he said he would order all of it for me and have it drop shipped. Patiently waiting, gotta go my friend on craigslist is hitting me up about a Super charger and a mail order bride….

    Test fit done, Travis is going to finish it up tomorrow and see about getting it to powder coat. I'm really digging how it turned out.

    Got a link to the decal you used to cover the KMCs? Noticed today one of my RW wheels is missing the center cap. Appears to be an overlay overtop of the base and the adhesive separated (they were refurbished by someone prior to me purchasing). Not spending $100 for a center cap so looking for ideas for replacements on all 4.
