That's a pretty typically setup. You will likely have to remove the front mudflaps, if equipped, and some still experience minor rubbing under "full stuff" conditions. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

As you noted the TRD SEMA wheels have a slightly more aggressive offset (4mm vs 15mm) which would push your tire out from the frame just under 1/2". Do you think that would be adequate to eliminate the frame rubbing? Also, the lift looks good. Getting a little rake back from the AAL will...

Looks like you got your money's worth out of those sliders, too! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Fuel and flights are both pretty cheap right now [emoji12] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Did you remove the rear driveshaft during all your work? I've heard of people replacing them "upside down" and leading to balance issues Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Subscribed to this thread for sure. Excellent use of functional, tasteful mods so far. What are your impressions of the 255/80/17 from a driving perspective? Any notable fuel mileage hits or perceived power loss? I want to run the same size tire but the lack of selection is irritating and...

This argument against paying cash is 100% valid for you and for anyone else who actually has the cash on hand to buy the vehicle, or finances a responsible portion of the loan so they can get out if they hit unexpected financial issues AND invest the difference. The biggest issue I see is that...

It does feel absurd, and is a big reason I am driving a 2006 model truck, but they really aren't that far out of line. I was reading an article about T100s the other day that mentioned the MSRP was $23,000 in 1993. If you run that through an inflation index, that's $40k+ plus truck...

I've witnessed the AFM issues first hand...Dad had an 07 with AFM that started drinking oil like it was going out of style. Pretty frustrating, but at that point it was 10 years old with 100k+ miles so a few isolated big maintenance items aren't completely unexpected. Hopefully most of the...

The later versions did, but I think the biggest difference in efficiency from newer trucks comes from a combination of higher gearing (numerically lower), more gears, and aerodynamics (particularly the low air dams). Lots of older rigs were 3.73 or 4.10 and now 3.42 seems more common as...

My experience with my 03 Silverado ECSB was very similar. Great, reliable truck and I only ditched it because I needed room for a rear-facing infant carrier. I really wish I'd have just kept it. ***Edit: I should add that I did experience the dreaded Castech head failure on that truck at 160k...

Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of spacers for suspension or wheels really. I am running 265/75/16 KO2s on the same factory wheels as you. For some reason your tires looked larger but I assume it was just a favorable camera angle, or the beefiness of the Duratracs. Sent from my Pixel 2 using...

What size tires are you running currently? And are you running spacers? You mentioned you went up a size but most people that go to 285/75/16 seem to report rubbing on the mudflaps & frame rail as well as needing wheel spacers. Truck looks great! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Even with the 4.7 the engine bay is weirdly spacious in those haha. There are also a handful of first gen Tundras with the 4.0L V6 in them, which looks weird to see for some reason. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Was that your most recent T100 purchase? Did you end up selling that one or have you convinced yourself to fix it yet? [emoji2] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It's good to see some first gen Tundra love in here, haha. My co-worker had a unicorn first gen Tundra that you guys would appreciate. It was a 2003 Access cab, 4x4, 3.4L, with a manual in SR5 trim. It was about as close to a modernized T100 as you could get at the time. It was a very capable...

Solid work on the rear leaves! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

The tapered beds with cleats were definitely a cool feature on that era! Impossible to pick! The only Toyota truck variation I can think of that I really dislike is the second generation Tundra (07-13 I think). That bulbous, rounded front end always looked absurd to me. If I were looking for a...

Man I'm excited to see this beast put together - looks awesome so far! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
