What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

My rear bumper doesn't feel like it's plays a vital role in ride dampening, seems like a heavy payload softens the ride more.

I'm looking to get a more plush ride with shackles and some rake back in the rear.

Yes i have the rear TRD sway bays, the truck did bounce a lot initially

 

Maybe not dampening but it should be helping everything not feel so stiff back there. Id add shackles to get the rake vs most other options out there unless its pretty specific to tundra. They wont affect or make the ride any better though. The only way to do that will be shocks and how well they handle the bumps and soak it up.

I just pulled our TT yesterday for the first time with the new springs and it was amazing! Really didn't ride much different than before except it had a little rake to it still and there was absolutely no bouncing rebound after a bump. everything just soaked it up! Super pleased so far, Well see how long they last

After:

 

I pulled out my lower steering shaft to oil bathe the u joint as it was binding hard and causing drivability issues. An hour in spare trans oil and good as new (for now). I’m sure this only has a short life expectancy, but at least while I wait for my replacement I have perfect drivability back again.

 

Got pulled on the freeway for doing 86 in 65 zone. He was hiding off to the side under a overpass and got me on radar. He said he heard me accelerating hard....damn straight! I bet that Corsa sounded awesome. Lol. My bad...complied with everything and he wrote me up for 80. He could have got me for a cracked windshield and no front plate too but he was cool about it. Traffic school next.

 

Installed my new rotors and pads.

 

Hit 88k on my 2008 today. It'll be another few years before I hit 100k at this point..

 

I drove my dad to AZ for a few days to visit with his brother, both recent cancer survivors. His first long trip in my Tundra....and he loved it (of course). We then took it off the grid to 5 acres of property I have out there. Even with a nonfunctional front diff, my truck handled it all with ease.
Love my Tundra!

 

Cool pictures.

 

Good on you Jake, spending time with Dad's is the best! Lost my Dad almost 4 years ago now. I miss him everyday

 

Thank you very much! And very sorry your dad isn't with you physically, but definitely watching over all those awesome mods we all drool over. He taught you well!

 

Well said sir

 

I rolled 83k on my 08 today ! I'm catching you lol

 

Ouch lol

 

Ouch indeed.

It couldn’t have been curb rash if you have 35s

 

Last Thursday I finally got my wheels I've been looking at getting put on for like 7 months. Think they look pretty good. Now to save for some exhaust!

 

Trying be cool lol taking on Taco/Jeep trails

 

At least the damage was minor, but I feel your pain.

 

And I’m sure I have kazillion pinstripes Thank goodness she’s white haha

 

Nice looking 07' how many miles?

 

Just about to hit 130,000

 

About a month ago...

-Bilstein 5100 Front(Top Setting) & Rear
-Wulf 1in Blocks In Rear
-18X9 Fuel Zephyr
-Cooper AT3 295/70/R18

Removed Front Mud Flaps and Nerf Bars. No rubbing after alignment.

 

Your new beefy wheels definitely improve the look compared to stock

 

No pics to share but just changed the tranny fluid.

 

Ouch

 

Looks good!

 

Drain n fill? DYI? Fluid look dark?

 

Yah one of these got me lol

 

Just a drain and fill. Old fluid still looked fine but I’m not sure what interval the previous owner changed it. I will say, it was a little low when I refilled the amount I drained; so had to make sure and correct that.
