Bailey’s Back! 2011 DCSB 4x4 Build “Clifford”

Can't wait to see how this one turns out Bailey!

 

You planning on a camper top & RTT?

 

I’ll stop by once you open up the showroom again

 

If I find a camper shell for cheap, I’ll add it to the truck. No RTT plans


A FWC Project M topper will be added down the road (when I have $11k and no debt)

 

Just got the same fog light kit, kinda surprised to learn that they don’t include the original light brackets with it. Have one of the SDHQ guys looking for a set for me, hopefully he finds a way to get ahold of some.

 

looks great with matching color and updated headlights. I did the same and it changes the whole front end.

 

Yeah, they were intended for vehicles that already have factory fogs. I believe I’ve seen the buckets on Amazon or EBay

or buy a stupid cheap set of factory type fog lights w/ buckets and scrap the lights

 

Thanks! It makes our trucks look newer and more modern

 

Mine are going on a Victory 4x4 bumper, so they need the u-shaped brackets. I got the kit because they had the plug and play adapters. Figured if I don’t wind up needing em, I’ll just try and sell the partial kit sans lights.

 

Last Clifford post until we hit the road for some adventures. Pretty happy with the minor changes I've done. Now it's time to enjoy the ride

 

Oil change this morning uncovered the cam tower is leaking a little bit more than I initially thought.

Going in the shop Monday to start the fix. As of now, it should be covered under the warranty. I’m working on the paperwork and should hear more in a day or two.

Just going to get it taken care of and move on. Fingers crossed on the warranty part

 

Selling the Radiant Red Mirror Caps that were included when I picked up the door handles:

Splendid Isolation

 

Maybe you could find a nice used contractors cap with barn doors? That would be nice as a temporary camper and chance to build it out before your project M.

Can't wait to see you traveling again. It was nice to see that you even got close to me before when you were in PA, I live in Buffalo.

 

Can't find anything right now but I'm keeping an eye out

Thanks! I'd like to get back that way for a road trip. Most likely won't be until 2021 or 2022

 

Installed a Garmin Dash Cam Mini tapped into the powered rearview mirror





Found it on Ebay for $80. Used the same mirror tap from my previous Tundra. Pretty happy with how discreet this setup is.

Cheap insurance for anything that might happen down the road

Truck is back!

Lots of new gaskets

 

On a positive note, you know everything is done right. Negative side, there goes your mod $$ for the rest of the year. LOL

 

You're definitely right, Service Pros Automotive in San Marcos, CA did a great job!

Saved quite a bit over the dealer but the lots of $$$ is still gone

 

How much did that roughly cost, I need to get a reseal done on my rig also.

 

A little under $2,000 out the door

 

Sure is cheaper than the dealer

 

Way to go Bailey! Just saw this thread. Welcome back to a Tundra! Nice one too. Great upgrades to make the right "look". I have a nice carpet lined Radiant Red A.R.E. MX for a DC that I just might consider selling if you ever come out this way. I'm becoming more intrigued with RTT camping. I was pretty much a ground tent guy, but since my dog Halle passed, this is an option for me now.

 

If only it would fit on a 2nd gen :/

Body lines wouldn't match

 

Yep...that does suck. Forgot about that issue. I have too many kuul stickers on the back window anyway...heh...heh.. Still waiting for you to get out this way. Manny says "hello"!
I check Craigslist a lot. I'll keep my eye out for one!

 

That’s great! Clifford is the name of my big red Cadillac. Tundras rock

 

Where did you get the lower piece that goes below the headlights?

 

It reuses the factory parts. No change to the lower piece
