Regular Cab Long Bed (RCLB) - Let's see them!!

No further information, this simply showed up in my recommended videos...

 

Currently 58k on the odo:

 

Bought a 4Runner last fall and got new wheels for it. Put the stock ones on the Tundra.

 

What size tires did you go for? The proportions look really nice!

 

jade imperial green one owner since new 155000 miles Next fixes/upgrades timing belt, 5100 bilsteins, rear add a leaf ? Or all new leaf springs ? Valve cover gaskets, new muffler, rust prevention, paint bumpers. Instal new oem grille

 

I bought general springs for new leafs. Good price compared to orders. And great customer service. So far happy I did.

 

Can't remember the exact size. Got them from a friend who worked at Michelin for cheap. 285 something lol. I wound up selling them and swapping over the wheels and tires from my 4runner.

 

New to me 2000! Glad to be a part of the V8 crew finally, and the RCLB crew!!

 

need to add fog lights and a lift.

 

And your lift was budget-ish lift? 2-2.5" I'm told and what about 650 vs 700 lb coils?

 

i have bilstein 5100 shocks on the lowest setting with old man emu 885 springs, energy suspension isolators and stock mounts, for the rear i have 5100s with Icon AAL and the overload still installed.

 

After much searching I finally found a first generation RCLB. 2003, silver SR5, 128k. The frame is in great shape (which compared to other components underneath leads me to believe it has been replaced)...receiver hitch already gone and is coming out and my shop guy says that the rear differential has been patched with jb weld and needs to be replaced...what are my options?

 

Dorman sells replacement covers for the diffs, but they need to be welded on after the old one is cut off

 

Go to toyota.com/owners and make an account and put in your VIN and it will show you any prior work done at a dealership. It will give you dates of frame replacement.
As for rear diff. Most thorough way for repair is to replace the whole axle housing with all new parts. Should be around $1500-$2000 if you do most work on your own. Or find used axle that isn't rusted. Hopfully cutting off old diff cover and re welding with new will work for you and save you a few bucks.

 

I have been looking for that exact canopy. We have the same truck - mine: 2003, silver SR5, 142k, 4wd v8. Any chance you're on the west coast and want to sell the canopy?

 

I am going to hold on to it for now, but I will let you know if I decide to move it....I am in middle Tennessee

 

All these regular cab long beds look friggin' sweet. But I just barely prefer my access cab for the little bit of extra storage space it provides. That being said, I wouldn't kick a RCLB out of the bed for eating crackers.

 

I wouldn't mind my RCLB 8' bed on an access cab or double cab. I know it would be a long truck, but so functional.

 

I came here to party

 

I take it you purchased the red truck with the nerf bar already installed. Looking for a set (the better half is 'vertically challenged') and am at my wits-end trying to find them

 

Yes and then it did not take long for them to rust off too!

Good Luck in the search though.

 

Howdy guys, sweet rigs. I just found this forum but I’m wondering if anyone else has put a camper on their RCLB? I want to tie those hoop mounts on each corner of the camper down to the bed but the way it sits I would be scratching up the bed.
Is there a better way to attach these? I was thinking of making a plate that fits into the stake bed inserts so the chains or tensioner would not touch the body.
Thanks

 

I would try to just run straps from the u-bolts that I see on the corners to the tie-downs in the bed corners.
That is how these seem to be setup to me?

The rear ones look easy and usually the campers will have little holes in the front down low to access the front tie-downs so that you can reach in there and attach them.

You can also make or buy brackets that do what you said and attach to the bed rail pockets I am sure.

 

I have the same wheels...have not installed them yet but I was wondering how did they look from the front/back? Did you need to add spacers? Are they tucked inside the fender wells?
