    2019 Tundra CM Platinum 4x4
    -TRD Dual Exhaust - 3m - UV front window tint/rear limo tint -TRD Oil Cap -Toyota Bed Mat - TRD Pro Grille - ARE canopy (sliding Windoors, pop down sliding front window, headliner, rack rails) -OEM Toyota Remote Starter -Baja Designs Sport Fog Lights -TRD door sill protectors -Ronin Factory short antenna
    Well about 4 months ago I sold my Tacoma that I built up over a year and a half. Had it just the way I wanted but when the baby came along we realized how little space that back seat had. So with a 1 month old baby we went truck shopping for a Tundra. Decided to upgrade to the 2019 Platinum. It was a managers demon truck so it already had the following installed:

    TRD dual exhaust
    TRD shifter
    3M
    Pro heritage grille
    Bumper pop down step
    OEM remote start
    Side steps
    TRD door protectors
    Toyota decal black out kit
    Stubby antenna

    So far I have added:
    -Colour matched mirror caps
    -Chrome delete- TOYOTA on grille and tailgate, vent rings, Toyota on stereo, steering wheel Toyota logo.
    -Window tint
    -ARE canopy- dual sliding windoors, rack rails, pop down sliding front window, headliner.
    -Undercoat

    New as of Aug 30th
    -2.5 Elka mid travel IFP (2”)
    -2.5 Elka mid travel w/ resi +. Clicker
    - SPC UCA
    - Icon 2” add a leaf
    - 17” gun metal FN Five star
    - 285/75/17 KO2
    - Diff drop


    Added a photo of my black Tacoma. This build will be very similar with some improvements. Ie. Tacoma had fox 2.0. Tundy will have Elka 2.5 w/resi

    Thanks. Now that we are getting gunmetal wheels I may pull off the white lettering. Return it to the greyish colour

    Well after three days of working on the truck we got it all together. Took it to the guys at KRave in Calgary for the mount, balance, and alignment. Love those guys at that shop!

    After all is said and done we are sitting at 40” in the rear and 39.5” in the front.

    Interesting comparison.

    Our stock wheels were the platinum 20” 255/75/20 p rate
    D712259C-DD43-456E-9415-2634DDDE0794.jpg

    Switched to a 285/75/17 KO2 10 ply with FN 5 star

    13B00E70-C730-418E-986D-AC05A85CA45E.jpg


    Looking at almost 3lbs lighter with the 10 plys thanks to a light FN. crazy how heavy those stock wheels are.

    Went for an adventure in bragg creek few weeks back. Loving the elkas! Played with the adjusters and definitely can notice a difference. Heading back Wednesday to see if we can find a few other trails. 21FBB52A-43BC-4292-A55F-9EAB6C5F65A9.jpg75CD4709-116A-4C32-A20C-00B27301D812.jpg 65F50492-3508-4670-A066-61FDC8BFEA2B.jpgEEF2DDBE-0CEE-44EB-B1C3-23580D320C23.jpg
