"TUMBLEWEED" Build

Picked up an 18 crewmax sr5 trd 4x4 5.7 on 1/23/19. Here it is in all its stock glory. Decided to name it "Tumbleweed" since its about the color of one and I live in the land of tumbleweeds here in NM. First off I want to admit I have a problem, I cannot leave anything alone, my wife calls it "perpetual tinkering disorder". I am making progress though, I almost waited a full 24hrs before the mods begun this time.

 

Welcome from Houston!!! Can't wait to see what you have in store. Keep us updated.

 

Excited to see where this goes.

 

Welcome from Northeast Connecticut

 

I picked up a set of oem rubber mats and removed the rubber wind deflectors on the front bumper, then removed all the dealer grafitti. Sorry for the mud, my yard is a swamp fron all the snow melting

 

Debadged, next on the list is window tint

 

Yanked off the mudflaps, ordered some running boards, and led bulbs

 

Lol, my girl says the same thing to me.

 

Tint done 5% all around

 

Led reverse, cargo, license plate and dome lights. Still waiting on footwell and visor vanity bulbs

 

Work in progress, I enjoy wrenching on stuff but not much fun when it's 11 degrees

 

Sub’d

 

Ordered some 6112s today, trying to get this build back on track. Been busy working on other projects

 

Assembled

 

6112 @ top setting, go rhino running boards, alignment came out good 0.0 camber both, 2.3 L 2.5 R caster and toe .12 total on stock uca. Probably going to add some lift out back to get near stock rake, not a fan of the scalded dog look, also pulled out the sway bar

 

I’m going to put a few hundred miles on it and re measure. Right now the front is almost perfectly level but the driver rear is about 5/8 lower. It’s got half tank of fuel and no extra weight. If I get ToyTec shackles has anyone run one side @1.5 and the other @ 1.0

 

Coach builders shackles installed, looks much better

 

Method 312 w/ bfg 315/70r17

 

It took a fair amount of trimming to make the 35’s fit, cab mount, removed front lower splash guard and shimmed bumper forward 1/2inch. Next project will be finishing the chrome delete. I’m not sure if I’m going to wrap ,paint or replace the grill and end caps yet
