    We decided to get into the Tundra world this year. Decided that the Cement was our favorite color and the Pro interior etc was just about right so we went with the Cement Pro.
    Bought the truck in May to use primarily for towing but also for developing new components for the Tundras. So far its been fun. Truck is nice and spacious, plenty of power and drives really nice.

    That's a lot of light on that front bumper!!! Any night shots of the output, or just make a white screen on the camera like the sun? Throw a nice cap on it, and I'd say its about perfect to me...

    It has actually been a horrible duck season out here. There are literally no ducks down and no weather to push them south in sight so this season may be a bust altogether. The quail has been good and I made a trip to Colorado and we knocked the piss out of some elk so all in all it has not been too bad

    Very excited to hear that you are showing the Tundra some love finally.
    Wish that you were considering the 2nd Gen however.

    Sliders arent installed yet . Were trying a new coating that the powdercoater applied and didn't come out right, stuff is so tough they cant sandblast it off so Im waiting on them to sort that out. Model pic below to give you an idea.
    Im not too familiar with whats out there for Tundras but Id guess you wont find a more robust set of sliders. They are all 2" square and round tube. .188 wall on all square and .156 wall DOM on the rounds with all 1/4" frame mounts. They are beyond beefy.

    The axe and shovel mount are just our universal mounts that are drill in place. They are machined aluminum

    Hi Lift mount is basically the same, opposite side of the bed

    @socalduckslayer/Tyler, where did you get your gears done? And any reason you went with Yukon over Nitro?

    Hey Kris,
    No real "one is better than other" reason going with Yukon over Nitro, both good choices. Had a race team we sponsor that also is sponsored by Yukon so we just kept it in the family.
    I pulled the 3rd and front clam and just had MIT Drivetrain in El Cajon set up the gears. The rear is pretty easy but the front is a real pain without the right tools to check backlash so its easier to have the guys that do it all day long do it once and do it right.

    Welcome from eastern CO! Like @TheBeast and @csuviper, hope you guys build similar bumpers for the gen 2’s sometime down the road.

    yep. the pelfreybilt bumpers really follow the lines well on the gen 3. hope they can do something similar to the gen2. Most of the gen2 bumpers I see don't flow well
