Thanks for spending the time.

So, I've been chasing a faint clunk that seemed intermittent and I could not easily reproduce it. I wasn't even sure if it was coming from the car. Imagine my surprise when it was because of the Total Chaos UCA hitting the Fox coil. Didn't think I would experience this with upgraded UCAs...

Thanks for the kind words. ☺️

Initially, I was going to do what you had done, but in the end, I did not feel confident about cutting a precise enough hole for the rubber 90deg elbow on the airbox side for a good seal. I thought about opening up the hole on the fender more to push the 90 inward, but I figured it was easier...

MODIFICATION: Home Depot Hidden Snorkel GOAL: Reduce chances of water ingress during water crossings. PURPOSE: Not really a fan of the traditional snorkel "look," so I opted to follow seanpistol's and a few other first gen Tundra/Sequoia example with the hidden snorkel modification. DURATION...

Regarding Kings coils, I'm not really sure. The coils are too tightly wound to be linear with the amount of uptravel required to compress the suspension. Considering that the ICONs were originally valved for linear rate springs, if the King's are a progressive coil, it could be too much for...

Fox, ICON, King Coilover comparison feedback. To save myself some time regarding messages, here's my feedback on all the above. ICON Extended Travel (E: 20-1/4"): This was the first suspension I tried based on user feedback. Configuration was stock with 295/70R18 (34s). Out of the box, it...

Pfft. Lame. :cautious:;)

So, what'd you do to secure the boxes up top? I don't see straps.

Prior to the Fox's, the ride was under-damped once the shock fluid faded and saturated with heat. I would notice/feel an excessive amount of oscillation after large bumps or imperfections on the road. It was noticeable on/off-road. Steering had the tendency to become unstable around highway...

I'd shoot for an 03-04. Has a mechanical hi/lo shifter with factory selectable locking center diff. All first gen suffers from LBJ issue that plagues 1st gen tacos/tundra/3rd gen T4Rs. 5spd came on 05 with vvti.

MODIFICATION: Fox Coilovers and Durobump Bumpstops GOAL: Improve ride quality. PURPOSE: With the added weight up front and the added unsprung weight of the wheels, tires, and the Solo hardware, the 2.5 Kings or ICONs couldn't keep up, faded quickly, and rode rather harshly. DURATION: 4 hours...

np at all.

That looks really well made. Dunno if I could say the same about the BB, but it's half the price, I suppose. Before the BucketBoss, I had my tools in a plastic box, loosely grouped together. Idk. Maybe it was trail fix during 105deg heat, but it really sucked digging through the box to find...

GOAL: Organize Recovery Gear and Tools SUMMARY: Having all my recovery gear in the Plano case on the roof worked out well. However, it was cumbersome to setup and breakdown between trips and I didn't like added weight up high. Not to mention that I've nicked my roof moving gear up and down...

You can make additional room by replacing the OEM power steering cooler with a $40 aftermarket one.

MODIFICATION: ScanGauge II GOAL: Monitor coolant and transmission temperature. PURPOSE: During summit, my coolant threw itself up all over my clean engine bay. One replacement radiator cap later, all was well. However, this incident really made paranoid about loosing coolant suddenly and...

Since the goal is safety and I probably won't be removing these bolts frequently, cotter pins make more sense from a redundancy standpoint.
