Testing my stock Tundra in some trails.

Recently I bought this 2018 Tundra, it is in pretty good shape overall, the only bad thing is the tires, they had less than half life on them but couldn't resist to take it to the trails by the beach, stock height with stock tire size. I thought it was going to hit the underside but to my surprise it just rubbed like three or four occasions. Mostly the running boards, front tow hooks and the tow hitch. This videos are from this past weekend, on Monday I bought slightly bigger tires and waiting to install Bilstein's shocks to level the front.

Welcome from AZ!

 

Welcome. Dig the video shots and music. Nice work.

Looks like you have the TRD Off Road package on your truck. The shocks on your truck are likely the Billstien 4600s. For what the package costs they are a pleasant surprise for a factory upgrade.

 

Nice drone shots. Those trails look fun too.

 

Welcome

 

Thank you, hi from the southern most part of the Baja peninsula.

I'm not sure if I have the TRD suspension package, the truck rides really nice, the old tires didn't help much but with the new tires already feels different. Will go to the same trails with the new tires and will update the videos

Thank you, these trails are mostly for utv's and atv's and are very fun, at the beginning of the year we had an offroad race in this area so I was driving on a race course, although much slower but still fun

 

Welcome from Mesa, AZ

 

I suspect so but it is possible the nonTRD skid plate was added afterwards but that usually only comes with the TRD offroad package.

Checked and no TRD package but nonetheless the truck rides very good on and offroad, and just got Bilstein's 5100 for the front. Hope it will make a bit of a difference with the clearance while offroading.

 

Plus those Bilstein's will be a noticeable upgrade over any stock shocks. The only "complaints" I've heard are from running them at the tallest setting; some folks think they ride too stiff.

 

I think so too, if I use the tallest setting the shock will be compressed a bit resulting in a stiffer ride. Will do some testing and see which setting fits better for offroad driving.

 

Cool. Best of luck. This section may turn up something valuable for you:
