The kitchen box is complete... for now. The last item I was waiting on was a set of nesting pots and pans from REI. This post is pic-heavy. That can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. Without further ado, the **************' Kitchen! The whole thing is contained inside of an old...

Santa in brown (John, the UPS guy) arrived last Thursday with a bevy of kit. All of the stuff I ordered from Wheeler's on Monday, along with my Stubbs Welding HD/SKO sliders came in. I also received a package from Amazon that includes a clamshell spring compressor and a nesting utensil set for...

There are THREE other Tundras! Two are Gen 1's, the third is a Gen 2. I'm the only guy on my street dumb enough to try and modify mine the way I'm doing, though. :elkgrin: I bought new on all the suspension parts at Wheeler's Off-Road. I figured it'd just be better to pull the trigger now while...

I just spent more than a grand on suspension stuff. Bilstein 5100's on all four corners, OME 886 springs to compensate for the additional weight of a bumper and winch, coil isolators, and - this is the rough part - the Camburg UCA's. Major buyer's remorse right now, but I'll be happy the first...

I heard that. BUT, it's so much fun figuring out how to get it done! I bolted on a couple more things today. I'd zeroed in on the Thule Xsporter fairly early in the concept stage of my build after considering a custom-fabricated rack. I may still ditch the Thule and fab up a cantilever style...

You guys are great. I'm loving the discussion, and I'm learning so much. sourdough asked the question about the added expense of a 285/75/16 tire over a 265/75/16 tire with only a 1/2" gain in useable height. I'd like to say that I did the math and it supports my decision (3" of gained...

Each side, my man. I really don't know what that dude was thinking. I've been thinking about taking the wheel spacers off just to see how the truck does what the truck does when I'm driving it, but just haven't committed the hour or so that I'll need to do it. Thanks for the advice on the...

I placed an order for this front bumper (frumper??) from Addicted Offroad for my '05 Tundra. I chose this over an ARB for price, weight, and ability to mount a winch. I thought long and hard about just getting a WARN brush guard to mount a winch, but between the crappy approach angle and the...

Awesome, thanks for the input. I was flip-flopping on whether or not I should replace the OEM coils during the upgrade, and your input is certainly swaying me in the "upgrade" direction. I'll be putting a little bit of weight on the front end with a new bumper and winch, so I may have to...

What's good, ExPo? I've been lurking for a little while, gathering ideas and inspiration from some of the awesome rigs you guys have been putting together. I've done as much homework as I can stand (for now), and have finally pulled the trigger on purchasing upgrades and equipment to begin...

I was able to order my Atlantic British NATO can for $60 (shipped) from Amazon without any problems. New construction, welded seams, smelled like fresh paint when I opened the spout. I bought one as a "test purchase" to see if they'd ship to me here in NorCal, and hey, whaddaya know, it...
