Block Head Build

$600 with me removing and installing. Yes painted over chrome, not sure what all needed done, but wasn’t just paint. Shop that did mine does lots of Tundras, some shops won’t do it. I did it so everything matched my truck, have had bad luck with pre-painted toyota parts matching.

 

Got a decent photo of my front suspension set up. It is working very well for me, my previous truck ran 3”+ of lift and rarely touched the super bumps. This time the super bumps are in play, and really like them. I was worried about 700lb springs, they ride great, my passenger side only has 2 turns of pre-load. Noticeably better than the 6112s on my 16. My plan with the rear is to pick up the new Pro Fox bypasses, should compliment the front without changing leaf springs etc.. The Fox 2.0s are fine for now, and the stone guards help where I live.

 

looks good. no reservoirs this time ?

 

No, would just be for looks. I will never use it hard enough to justify, and have other toys to beat on. The rear will have bypass reservoirs, but imo the rear needs more help than the front for my uses.

 

Gave it a break in beating at 1,300 miles with an awesome group of people. Montana Mountain run 3/18/18, thanks to @14burrito for a fun trip.
Ready to go.






My son Troy.

The black truck behind me in the pic is bad ass.



Home, truck worked great.

 

traffic jam on the trails looks like fun

 

Not at all, we got to go at our own pace. There was other traffic, but everyone was super respectful. I was up near the front on the first half, everyone we encountered said hi, and holy shit.

 

The only time one can be at peace driving bumper to bumper! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

 

until you meet the speed glampers crew on the trails...lol..

 

good memories for you boy

 

This was my carnage for the day. Wee bit of AZ pinstriping as well, but I had so much wax on it there is no scratches. I also learned that every Tundra should have 37” tires...

*Edited* Facebook provided me the moment before said carnage. I think almost everyone got a free tattoo here.

 

Truck looks great man

 

Great setup! Looks clean!

 

Little behind, added SDHQ sliders.

 

I hit that!!

 

solid build looks great

 

done with taste.

 

What class of fire extinguishers are you running?

 

I have the chrome one under my driver seat (2 BC), it does not meet DOT code, needs to be 5. I use it because it is quality, will probably(definitely) outperform a cheap 5 dot extinguisher, and bling! The red purple k is in the bed (10 BC), it is very effective in vehicle fires. Amerex makes H3R extinguishers, same but usually much cheaper, without the cool colors.

 

Decided to have some fun with this truck, so it is going to change into more of an off road setup, and be used as such. Added new rear Fox 2.5” remote resevoir shocks, and updated OP.

 

Nicely done!! BA rig brotha

 

Badass truck brother. I can’t get enough of the cement!

 

looking good

 

where did you get those drop in brackets to mount the quick fists for the shovel/axe ? I need some for my bed rails.

 

I made them, this was the first one for a shovel. It then evolved into the combo mount. Works well.

 

Few pictures from Tundras to Sedona. Fun time, and nice to check out some other Tundras.

 

Few new mods.

RTT and rack

Pro Clip phone mount

Transmission skid/cat theft plate

Cali Raised ditch brackets and amber pods

Blazer wireless control system

AFE Pro dry S air filter

 

Truck looks perfect!

 

Bed rail mount for traction mats

 

I love this truck! It is perfect! If I had it to do all over again I would not go with the 4.5” lift.
