A Real Tundra

Let see some Exotic Tundras.

 

If only I could hit the powerball, just once! Please, with whipped cream and a dozen cherries on top!
No really, I feel really super lucky to have my family, our home, and all our prized possessions. More than all of the above we have good health and I can't tell you the number of times filling forms at the medical facilities I felt great to check N/A to the entire list of possible adverse health conditions. It could always be worse folks! Keep your chin up and rock on!

My answer to your poll is 3rd Gen. (Or 2.5th gen, if you insist.)

 

They get 21 mpg's so I heard.

 

3rd gen.

 

Added 3rd gen for some reason it didn't save from the start.

 

I have a feeling that these "Real Tundra" have no other Tundra in them except for the body panels maybe?
How are these "Real" in any way?

 

There's actually a lot more 'real Tundra' in there than you might think. The original frame, interior, and drivetrain is still in there. They remove the stock axles and suspension, and weld a tubular frame underneath the stock frame. Then they build the new long travel suspension off that tubular frame. A Chain Drop Box (I think that's what it's called) goes in the middle, and transfers power from the transmission (in its stock location) down to the new driveshafts heading to the front and rear axles (usually 5-ton axles or somesuch). That chain drive also multiplies the torque, similar to the low range in a transfer case.

That's pretty much the standard way all mud trucks are built. These are NOT Monster trucks, but rather MUD trucks. They're big in places like Florida and Louisiana.

 

Might I add that with a stroker kit, modified block, supercharger, fuel pump, injectors, deep pans, and exhaust mods....a 5.7 can turn it on.

 

Nice

 

And Another

 

Yeah it does seem just like the rest of our trucks,especially the Alcohol burning 501 Cubic Inch motor just like mine.

 

Jealous, eh?

 

You know me too well......or something.

 

I like both the 1st and 2nd generation Tundra, I'll tell you what I think of the 3rd generation Tundra when it comes out next year.

 

LOL I have about a half inch getting my lifted Tundra in my garage now. If I had one of these monsters im sure i could afford to build a barn for it. And if you drive it in town parking is not an issue. When your looking at the bottom of your garage door that close to your windshield you tend to get nervous.

 

Since mine is a 2019 2nd gen...2nd gen

 

I like them all. Unique look for each.

1st gen - sleek look. favorite is the side step.

2nd gen - very muscular. Looks good lowered, like a race truck.

2.5 gen - muscular and bold. Nice stance lifted.
