The truck is driveable, so I will try to get it to an alignment place on Monday. I have a friend who did body work for years coming over tomorrow to take a look and see what he thinks about the frame. The bed is crushed past the outer skins. The passenger inner panel is pushed in several...

Well, not great news for the Rez. Wife was heading to the airport in the truck, someone cut into her lane and she swerved to avoid and lost control. She almost never drives the truck and isn't used to how it handles....not like a car or minivan. It looks like in the process of...

Thanks Sean. The carrier bearing is new within the last few years. Seems to still be doing fine, although the rubber is starting to squish down again. Front driveshaft makes a slight click when I twist it by hand...front u-joint. Nothing I can tell on the rear unless I drop the driveshaft...

Been a really crazy year so far and I haven't been able to do hardly anything with the Tundra. Had some unexpected things come up that completely trumped everything else, thus making it impossible to do any sort of trail running or exploring. The truck has been relegated to a daily driver so...

Nice. I do like that you can display it on your head unit. I've toyed with the idea of replacing my current Pioneer unit with a Chinese one with all the Android functionality. But so far I've left it alone and just used my phone for Torque Pro readings. -Kevin

With aftermarket UCA's you should consider getting coilovers with extended droop. Icon for sure makes some (I have them) and I believe King does too. It gives the wheel more down travel, which makes for a much better ride and off road capability. My Icon's do the trick, but sometimes I do...

Brute Force Fab is making all of their bumpers and options for the 1st gen Tundra. The website doesn't have everything they do. Just call and talk to Billy and let him know what you want. Be prepared to wait for a while because they are very busy. I don't know exactly how much more droop the...

It all depends on what you plan on doing with the truck. I'd recommend starting a build thread and getting questions asked in there. Easier for people to find it later, rather than buried in the middle of a different thread. Really nice truck BTW.

Sounds like you found a winner. I love my double cab. So much space!

I don't recall what shocks you are running on the rear. I have shocks with adjustable dampeners on the rear, so when my truck is loaded down I crank them up and it dramatically firms up the rear. No sway at all. Normal driving unloaded I run them at position "1" (out of 10). Loaded up I run...

Alright, so a couple of questions. First, do you have a place to work on the truck at home? Second, are you okay getting your hands dirty? I ask because almost everything on there can be done yourself. I say that because I did all that and much more to my truck and I had literally zero...

My Brute Force bumper is a bit different than @trailscape, with mine being a single swing-out and high clearance. All else is the same. They both mount to the same factory mounting holes. I might be able to answer some of your questions. Side view showing overall dimensions of the front and...

Spray cans. I bought a pack of 6 on Amazon a couple years back. I use two to do the whole frame. So after this next set I need to buy more. -Kevin

I'm huge Fluid Film fan. I've been applying it for a few years now and my frame stays nearly perfect all winter. Unfortunately I ran out of time to do it this year, so my frame isn't as clean as it has been. I'm going to clean and touch it up in the spring, then be sure to do another round of...

My dad has had a '95 T100 for probably 20 years now. Well over 300K miles on it currently. It's been all over the western US and Baja, much of it on pavement and much of it on very primitive roads or no roads. A few major things had to be addressed during that time....head gasket once...

Thanks guys for taking a look and enjoying the thread. Hopefully it's been helpful for you. I'm still enjoying the truck, just didn't get out on the trails as much as I wanted to this year. I've been doing routine maintenance on it when I can....oil change with Mobile 1, wire wheeling and...

I've never seen one of the ARB bumpers up close on a Tundra, but I have heard secondhand that they are kind of "jiggly". They stick out very far. I'm unfamiliar with the 4x4Labs bumper, so can't help there. I believe the Addicted Offroad bumper has to be welded in. The Brute Force Fab...

Nicely done so far. Your fab skills look impressive, especially on the LCA. A couple of questions just because I'm curious. What's the reason behind doing heim joints on the UCA's? Never seen or heard of that done before, and all experiences I've heard of with stock setup and polyurethane...

I'm with bkg.....not sure I understand what is being asked here. If you're asking if you really need a suspension lift to go out on trails the answer is "it depends". It depends on what trails you are doing, what you are carrying, what your goals are, etc. Plenty of people use stock rigs on...

285/75-16 (or 17) can be run on a fairly stock rig. You'll need rims that push the wheel/tire out from the truck a bit to clear the stock upper control arms. Otherwise, the tires will rub it. Easiest way to go is a wheel with 4.5" backspacing. Many of those available. Be aware that the...
