I hope someone from Lexus's design team sees this when they get ready to do a styling refresh in this model. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Ah yes I had forgotten about the flip-flopping between disks & drums of that era! It's funny how GM runs certain parts across 1,000 models and 500 model years and then other parts are tweaked seemingly every other year. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I'm not sure about all GMT 800 brakes requiring 17" wheels. The OEM wheels on my '03 1500 were definitely 16". It may require a 16" wheel with specific backspacing, though, as I do recall my buddy tried to put 16" GMT400 wheels on his '06 1500 and they did not clear. At any rate, I have a soft...

I'm surprised how much nicer this makes the whole front end look. I noticed your comments about the SCS center caps above... what's your opinion of the wheels otherwise? SCS is priced at the top of the aftermarket wheel spectrum, do you feel they were worth the premium? Sent from my Pixel 2...

Bonus points if you trim the running boards and keep them haha Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Man I really like the rubber wheels on that jack. I'm curious to know how they perform for you. My garage floor is reasonably flat and clean-ish, but rolling a floor jack around seems like it highlights every possible bump or imperfection. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

This seems like a good plan. I think if you were going to spend an additional $600 it would be better spent nixing the front spacers in favor of 6112s or similar coilovers. It's amazing how much money can be wasted in marginal height gains if you're not careful. For what it's worth my buddy...

You are a good man for diligently chasing down those stainless body KC's. An LED light bar would incredibly stupid on that truck. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Mason Dixon is a lot higher than you think. KY and VA trucks would be included in that and they are likely to have trash frames. At any rate, trucks get moved all over the nation anymore via auto auctions and relatively cheap transport options. Start every vehicle inquiry but requesting...

Man, I learned something new today! I thought all the Vortec Maxes had 6.2s. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Doesn't swapping to a 6.0 require a transmission swap as well. Talk about scope creep.... Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I actually know someone who dropped an oil pump on a 5.3 (2007 Silverado) at only 50k miles and, after a pretty extensive repair, the motor eventually suffered oil starvation related failures and died at around 100k miles. Disappointing, but definitely an exception. That being said, it wouldn't...

Do you have a good write-up or similar resource for a proper LED projector upgrade? I'm interested in doing in one but I absolutely loathe poorly done versions. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

You can put kids in the back of a double cab, but they definitely will be less comfortable. Keep in mind that with the tailgate down on a crewmax you'll still have 6' of flat surface. You'll just have to strap in or use a bad extender. Whether or not that is adequate depends on what you're...

A rear hitch can be an adequate recovery point. I recommend getting a D-ring attachment that you can slide into the hitch for a safe strap attachment. There are factory recovery points on the front end (stick your head under the bumper and look at the end of the frame rail). They aren't overly...

For those of us with carseats in the back, 3" of legroom is a pretty significant difference. Also, the position of the seating is more vertical in the 07+ double cabs I felt like the name change had more to do with the swap to exterior door handles rather than having to open the front door in...

Seems like the most budget friendly option is to just run what you have and add airbags in the back if needed for the trailer. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Man that's a bizarre looking ride! How long is that beast after the stretch? Seems like it would be a similar wheelbase to modern crewcab/standard bed configurations. Is the rear cab just an empty storage area now that you put the bench up front? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

That is my preferred option. It doesn't look difficult but it does look messy and time consuming, which means I've gotta convince my wife I need a full day of wrenching time while she tames our tiny herd of wildabeasts! [emoji2] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

That's a neat truck, good work thus far. A front end level and some 33s would look bee-you-tee-ful! Good call on the tailgate de-badge, I've always thought Toyota went a little emblem crazy on Tundras. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
