    here from ‘Bama.

    2nd Tundra, ‘16 with some do-dads. Looking to add more.

    Been lurking for a while.

    Seems like a handy spot.

    I actually wasn’t “authorized” to be there.

    A small trailer with a money sorting machine. Honestly.

    Was helping the “authorized guy” move the money machine.

    I guess I didn’t really need the quotes, but here we are.

    Thanks! Steps are N-Fab

    was the "authorized guy" driving a ford and it broke down?

    looks great chad!

    what size tires are u running. im currently on 34's w/ a 3/1 lift (looks similar to what your running); i'm considering a drop down to 33's. my tranny seems to hunt for gears more often than i like.

    looks like you may be on 33's w/ a 4/2 lift, or 32's w/ a 3/1 lift?

    no way around it, i dig it!

    Thanks!

    It’s a Toytec Boss full system at full lift.

    Big fan myself.
    One of the first things I did.
    Painted myself. Could use a touch up.

    good idea w/ re-gear, especially if going larger than 34". there are MANY threads on here regarding re-gearing. i'm trying to avoid this route as my pickup is mostly driven around the concrete circus called houston. i dont NEED big tires.

    others will have a different opinion and will run 35's all day w/out even considering a re-gear.

    i'm not a current customer of dirty deeds, but if you spend some time around here and you'll here his company mentioned over and over again (all great things), especially for exhaust. however, as i've read, keith knows tundra gearing as well as he knows tundra exhaust.

    most on here recommend a re-gear w/ any tire 35"+; probably a very good idea.

    check out this read. (hopefully the link below jumps to post 6); it specifically mentions 34's. keith recommends 5.29's w/ 34" and larger.

    i wouldn't chat w/ anyone other than keith if i wanted to re-gear, or talk about exhaust.

    Yeah, Keith is good folks.
    Spoke with him a little over a year ago about a full system but couldn’t pull the trigger at the time.

    Thanks for the link, I see what you’re talking about.
    Thinking about changing the whole wheel and tire setup but have a number of mods planned before that.

    Regearing is definitely next. I see so much potential.

    I have a Dap tune that’s helped with gear searching, but I know new gears would increase performance, mpg and fun factor.

    I’ve got some items sitting around for install but am looking at holding off until I acquire a few more items.

    I have a Warn Ascent front bumper with Baha/prerunner bar sitting in my garage but may go a different direction.
