Chevy 20" rims on my Tundra

455h0le_dachshund,

The drop kit came in which includes shock mount parts but no bolt on solution or even a diagram or a picture of how to use the supplied parts, do have a mig and tig welder so I can do some fabrication and that would be necessary to use this kit. None of this is noted or explained in the ad.

I spoke with Chris from Ruff Stuff and he said:

"Hi, apologies for the confusion. We do not have our own installation video

The R2121 kit requires welding for the perches & shock mounts.

Quick install outline

1. Set ride height & pinion angle.
2. Mock shocks ~10–20° from vertical; target ~60/40 up/down travel.
3. Tack tabs on clean tube; verify clearance/bolt width.
4. Cycle to full bump/droop; adjust; final weld and paint.

Note * (Removing stock shock brackets & leaf perches may be necessary.)


If there is anything further we can do to help please let us know.





Thank you,

RuffStuff Team"

 

Upshot Knothole,

Yeah these center cap decals are cheap alright looks like they're made on my home printer! the metal "look alike" under the red TRD is a photo of metal! there is no metal in this decal but unless you are staring at them 6" away they look OK even being bluish steel instead of brushed aluminum but for $10 they get the job done! If they don't last at least they are cheap to replace.

455h0le_dachshund,

I have a set of 6 pcs black, at first they sent me the wrong color ordered stainless, they measure 3.5 inches or if you live in Canada 88mm, you can have them for $10 shipped. PM me

They come in different colors and sizes:

I'll have to measure mine in the morning

 

Good thing you're ready to weld and fab. Should be an adventure to say the least. Definitely over my head.
I look forward to keeping up with your build.

 

455h0le_dachshund,

Yeah I have the skills and most of the tools having once owned a body shop but nowadays I don't have a shop, garage or even a flat driveway to work in! I have a 20 foot steep ramp from the frontage road to my garage! working on hills isn't recommended for suspension mods, that's for sure! but excuses are easy, results like a battle plan have to overcome obstacles to succeed! I have time, some skills and some money to get done what I want done, if I paid someone else to do it what fun would that be? besides in the end I'm paying the same if I hired someone to install an off the shelf solution but being retired I need some stuff to do anyways, projects, you could say I love projects

No way you just came in here and dropped 2 pics of NSXs with no explanation.

 

Bmf4069,

yeah I bought a wrecked 91' NSX and couldn’t repair the frame so I bought a stripped 95 NSX-T chassis and put 2 cars into one. The donor chassis was a 95 NSX-T and was quite a challenge to put the 91 engine in and make it work with a throttle by wire 95 ODBII car's system. Engine swap, change engine harness, replaced 91' ECU, repaired electric steering rack (missing speed sensor 91 did not come with one) repaired SRS system (had to find and install 95 seat belts with automatic collision tensioners) Replace defective capacitors in HVAC controls, radio, upgrade/repair suspension, reupholster seats, change car color from black to red in door jambs, under hood and engine compartment, a few hundred other repairs and changes, etc. Definitely my most ambitious project ever!

Guy’s

have been distracted from the truck, another project has a delivery date of first week in October. Had to finish the “ground work” of installing 16 piers of 16 to 19 inch in height to drop the cabin on, the top of the piers are all level. Some are 2 foot deep others are sitting on the old pool deck anyways 16 support piers are ready to drop the cabin on and secure it to the ground (earthquakes here in Cali)

You’re building a cabin in your backyard?

 

i hope my eyes are bad....

 

I have a 3D laser level for things like this. That thing is tits!

 

Definitely
Got one too
They are the bees knees

 

KNABORES,

I'm not building a cabin I bought one from Tecate Sheds in Fallbrook, $10K out the door, want a one week building solution that my neighbors see and not the 2+ years it would take me to do it. Because of the cabin size 12' x 16' they cannot truck it in and are building it onsite, the foundation is not supplied and is up to me to design and implement. Played around with several setups, and we finally agreed on a layout. The design has some piers buried deep over 2 foot and some just sitting on top of the ground, some of the pier's construction has changed as I started building them. My house has a dirt filled in pool and with that problem had to figure how to safely build the foundation on it. The piers are mostly on top of the old pool deck with a 1/2 rebar stuck in a drilled hole and using a gap at the bottom of the sono-tubes a crude "foot" is made when pouring concrete. I'm doing overkill I'm sure if a regular contractor or an architect saw what I did. It's a cabin instead of a shed because side walls are 7'9" high instead of 6'. Have a laser level but it isn't needed a 2 foot carpenters level and a straight board is all that I used to get the job done. The Tecate Shed guy said it doesn't need to be perfect because cabin is being built on site and they will make the necessary adjustments. This project is all to get my own bedroom and bathroom in my house! With a Mom and Daughter living here, rarely get access to our one bathroom, the plan is to elevate the cabin to run utilities under the floor, power, water, sewer, etc. Having fun spending my grandchildren's inheritance!

ah, sounds like an ADU. Becoming popular out in California I hear

 

A man cave of sorts?

 

KNABORES,

With COVID towns here have relaxed zoning and building codes, every MM of space is too expensive here and over taxed as well, wish I could build a garage but this postage stamp size lot is already a duplex and too small for that, making the most of what I have...

Stephen

 

badass03taco,

Nah, just living space and a bathroom for me!

Stephen

 

simpler times...

 

ChattanoogaPhil,

Yeah a simple idea beyond the emergency bucket in my garage but my neighbors are 30 feet on each side of the property and would put up a stink, lol.....

Stephen

 

So.... How's the drop coming along?

 

455h0le,

Drop project is on hold for a few weeks, visiting brother back east for 10 days

Every time I see these wheels on craigslist I think of this thread. $1500 is just too much money to spend for wheels that I'd roll around on for a week as a joke.

Upshot Knothole,

$1500? think of the guy who bought them new for like 3 grand or more as a joke lol..
