    It's pretty awesome out here. I'm from Texas originally so grew up mudding and crawling over stuff. Since I have moved to the desert there is nothing like it. It's amazing.

    As a life long east coaster (and coming up on the half century mark) I don't see a move out west in my future but I've been out that way a couple of times and it is beautiful. I hope to get out that way again, maybe even with my Tundra for some off road adventures! I'd like to check out Arizona and I'd really like to see Utah.

    We did that at the last get together at ToyTec last year. I think it helped quite a bit.

    Yes a little love mark should buff out. That was broken arrow to chicken point was pretty tight for our monster sized trucks. For sure buddy you should try to make it. Lots of fun. And you get to meet all the crazy tundra folk

    Tasteful build, making me want to buy this set up while saving for TC lt front kit. Great job on all the subtle details, really makes the truck pop.

    Thanks man. I'm super happy with it. Hold off and do your LT the right way. I love my mid travel but always wonder how much better the LT would be. Good luck look forward to your build

    It’s supremly tough holding off.... I know it’ll be worth it though however I sometimes wonder if I’d be perfectly satisfied with mid set up. I want to do this build right, trying to start with gears and lockers front and rear. Just get all of my parts together and have a crazy install week. Or I’ll do like I usually have one thing at a time. If only building vehicles the right way were in the hundreds rather than thousands. Life would be so much simpler.

    I hear you man its a tough choice. As long as you plan to use it, it will be worth it. Sounds like you got a good plan. Truck is gonna be a beast!

    I most definitely plan to beat on it. I’ll just hold the steering wheel gently as I do.

    Did you have to adjust the 3.0 Coilovers in anyway? Read a post by a dude that has an opinion I trust from Tacomaworld who also has a Tundra. @jberry813 one of the the better DIY guys around. I’ll be sticking with Mid Travel set up. Seems to me the MCM kit is pretty dialed.

    I added a couple turns when first installed for it to sit level with rear but other than that they are spot on I like the valving they set them up with. I only softened my low speed via the adjustment clickers on the resivoirs. And yes @jberry813 is a good source of knowledge. MCM does really good with our trucks he works closely with ADS and deaver for components for our trucks.
