My 2015 PRO

Hi I just ordered a grey tundra trd pro. Do you have a lift on yours? I want a lift but haven't had much luck in my research

 

Stock suspension and tires are 305/70-20's

 

Do you know the offset? I have spidertrax on my pro with stock wheels and 295. I can't decide between leaving stock, smooth extension or bolt flares. I see some and think awful then see some like yours and want them again.

 

No I dont...sorry

 

Just added a light bar and 30" led light

 

Looks really good, can you send a pic under the hood of the light setup. Its a nice mod at a good price.

 

How do you like those Fuel tires? I noticed those on their site while looking at wheels. Tundra looks amazing.

 

Added a few lights and winch

 

hammer,
help me out here with some info please. I've been trying to find a fabricator of the hidden winch mount for over 8 months.
1) who fabricated this for you? Price?
2) what was the solution for the oil cooler located in the way? and bracing for the fog light corner trim?
3) how do you access the winch clutch, or is this only activated with a wireless remote?

Thanks, gosolo

 

The winch is mounted upside down on a bracket that runs from side to side on the frame behind the transfer case. It's offset so I had to use a couple of pulleys to route the cable around and center it up in the front. It's not a huge winch....but I'm not planning on burying my truck anytime soon

 

You use a little more cable this way you can have a winch without altering the front of the truck

 

Beautiful Truck! Any advice exhaust wise? I'm looking to replace my stock exhaust with something aftermarket.

 

Borla exhaust sounds incredible....but the TRD factory exhaust sounds great too

 

Sounds ingenious! Still wonder how you access the clutch?
Thanks for explaining. That is interesting and I would like pictures just to see how it was done. I would never want to do this on my Pro for several reasons.
1) No way you could ever cleanly respool the cable unless someone with gloves was laying under the truck to guide it.
2) I would not want to risk using an undersized winch,
3) the amount of road dirt, mud, water, and debris would make me fear damage could occur. I scrape on enough rocks and stuff as it is to give me plenty of concern about vulnerable stuff.

 

Mine us still as clean underneath as it was the day I bought it....I didn't buy it to off road. ....my winch will never get full of mud and rocks. ....but its there if I need it in the snow

 

And I never said my winch was undersized. And why do you think the winch isn't protected??? Its enclosed and if you didnt see the cable you wouldn't know its a winch....the clutch is easy to engage and disengage with a cable... and as far as CLEANLY respooling.....well I guess it doesn't matter how pretty the cable is spooled if it's hidden

 

I guess when you said the "it's not a huge winch... but I'm not planning on burying..." , I thought that meant small. Sorry, no offense intended. If you could possibly attach some pictures it would have cleared up a lot of this, for sure. It really does sound like you put a lot of effort and thought into a cool mod. I love what winches have done for me in the past, so I watch this kind of post pretty close. The spooling issue though is a big deal. Have you ever had a winch before? or is this a first go?

 

I've used winches for years, on my car trailer and winch trucks as well. As long as I keep tension on my winch line the cable spools ok.

 

And if spooling is such a big thing then why do wreckers not have to hand guide their cable???? I've hardly in 35 years had trouble with my winch lines. And I don't hand feed them

 

Just like with wreckers, Why the need to hand guide your cable?? In 35 years I've hardly ever hand guided the cable. If you keep tension you shouldn't have to very often

 

Sure sounds like you have the experience. Obviously you built a very cool modification. Thanks for your time explaining how this works.
these are certainly nice trucks to have!

 

Looks very nice. What lights are these?

 

They are small round amber marker lights

 

I think I bought them on eBay
