We hesitated when we saw the first one. But after walking it and using sticks to probe the depth of the water and softness of the mud, we decided that it wasn't too bad. Thankfully the bottom of the pits wasn't gooey mud. It was maybe an inch of silt, then hard, so it gave us more confidence...

Video for the above outing put together by my friend. Enjoy!

Trip Report: Liberty WA - Pit Overlook, Crystal Ridge, Hidden Gulch My friend and I spent the afternoon yesterday doing a few trails in Liberty WA. Pit Overlook (4W321) was first, a mostly mild 3.5 mile trail with fantastic views. There are some narrow shelf roads with steep drops off the...

I've used the fan a couple of times lately on trails just to see if it would make a difference. Sometimes my trans temp will climb up (torque converter) and I'll flip the fan on to see if it comes down. I don't typically see much of a difference, partly because it's the torque converter that...

I don't have any skids besides the factory one, and so far I really haven't needed them. And I do some pretty good trails. I just position the wheels so that if something is going to get hit it's going to be the sliders and nothing else. If I were to end up getting skids then I'd have to move...

Hit a couple trails today with a friend. The 650 lbs front springs did awesome. So much better on washboard than the 700's. And they were great on the trails too. No bottoming out, even though I dropped onto the front several times. One of the trails was very, very rough and required the...

Like the bumper! Updated pics after painting would be nice. i hate mice. I spent many hours cleaning out a classic car from all the damage they caused. And now to remedy that damage, it's going to cost me close to $1K. Filthy creatures.

I'd like to see more of your bed setup, as well as how you have the audio done. At some point I want to upgrade my audio and am looking for ideas that work. Great to see another 1st gen Tundra. They're a great do-it-all vehicle. Not too big, not too small.

That's a pretty sweet setup. I personally never went the RTT route. Partly because I don't have the time to do overnighter's very often, and partly because I didn't want to added weight or complexity. Whenever I do overnight in the truck I just sleep in the open bed. I'm 6'0" and still have...

From what I've seen on Sequoia's (same sheet metal as Tundra) it doesn't attach to the A-pillar. You can get it up close to it, but no attachment. I toyed with the idea of getting one, and it would certainly benefit the dust situation on some trails. But the reality for me is that it would...

Love it! Really looks nice. Is that an Addicted Offroad front bumper? I've always liked the hybrid plate/tube. Also, what headlight/turn signal combo did you use? I need to replace mine and like what you've got. -Kevin

How would one tell if it was a steering component? I ask because I have a slight clunk on any movement of the suspension on the passenger side. Not sure if it's UCA ball joint wearing out or something else. I did all new inner and outer tie rods and LBJ about 30K miles ago.

Wow, looks great. The whole package is coming together nicely.

Are you just worried about covering up the ABS light? My TPMS light constantly flashed and drove me crazy, and I have no desire to run with TPMS. I pulled the gauge cluster and put a small piece of electrical tape on the backside of the screen, only where that light was. Completely eliminated...

Was that a bumpy ride with no weight back there?

I had been chasing a shake/vibration of unknown origin for a while. I finally gave up and stopped caring. My steering wheel shakes slightly at freeway speeds right now, though I'm not sure why. I just live with it, because I've found that if I get everything super-smooth for the road it just...

Ranges anywhere from -10 to 105 depending on the season. Currently between 50-80 night/day. Elevation 1500 feet in my area, up or down depending on where I'm going.

184-186 idling and normal surface streets. 188-191 highway, 195-199 on hills. While towing heavy I've gotten up to 225 on hills. The temperature needle starts to move at 220 and climbs rapidly with each successive degree. Transmission is all over the map, depending on what I'm doing. I have...

A tray system?

Really like what you've done. I would love to move up to 315 size tires, but I really don't want to bother with a regear anytime soon. I'm also interested in seeing more of the LCA and the aluminum skids you have. Who made the skids? BTW, your pictures are showing up super small and hard...
