    Amber LED Area Lighting?

    I have ~7 of the v1s under and on my truck as "service lights" They do a great job for what I use them as. I replaced the bullet connectors on mine with sealed sumitomo's that I use on my other stuff. Sean

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Yes, it's a basket case. No, I was not on drugs when I built it... (2001 Toyota Tundra 2->4WD Build)

    "Successfully" completed a ~600 mile round trip to Houston County Lake in Crockett TX last week. Prior to that, the ~1.5 year old "import direct" ball joints from Oreilly's decided that grease was optional and squeaking was not so new ones went on the truck and it got a "mad stance bro"...

    That happened to a buddy of mine on his Corvette. Sean

    05 sequoia limited aka “turd crappley”

    Measure the OD, bolt size, and Width and grab a replacement poly universal one. Probably less than $20 Sean

    Advantages of ground tents over camping in your vehicle.

    Not to further derail the thread but what did you not like about it? Sean

    Advantages of ground tents over camping in your vehicle.

    Have any of y'all used one of the cot style tents? I am getting ready to take a trip out to big bend in March and was thinking that something like this might be more comfortable than a sleeping pad over rocks... Sean

    Frirstone Air Bags + 1000 Pound Camper = Broken Tundra Frame

    Specifically, that is why I went with my setup. I get the super soft ride of the deavers when unloaded but I can still haul mulch or my standup when I need to. Most bags also limit droop which is why I am using the daystar cradles. They work great for my setup but it is not a replacement for...

    Frirstone Air Bags + 1000 Pound Camper = Broken Tundra Frame

    I have been running Airlift Dominator Airbags with Daystar Cradles on my truck in conjunction with my Deaver g57 leaf spring for the last few years with no issues. I treat the truck the same as without and respect the max capacity of the truck both in payload and tongue weight though and my...

    Fuel Pump

    Can't say for certain on the tank pickup swapping. As for suppliers, aem sells direct iirc, walbro, jegs, summit racing or similar would be a good source imo. Sean

    Fuel Pump

    Walbro GSS 342 or AEM 340 would be my picks. Cheap (ish), drops (mostly) into stock holster, reliable and good output. Get the install kit with the new sock and pigtail and replace the fuel line (if needed) with a quality submersible gates hose. Do whatever you can to make sure you get a real...

    05 sequoia limited aka “turd crappley”

    Even to just run 295/75/16s I had to tub the cab quite a bit. 285/75/16 never rubbed on the body at full bump and lock but I have aftermarket wheels, camburg upper control arms, and I deleted the inner fender covers. Did the sequoias have the 3.91s or 4.30s? There was some oddball way to get...

    2005 Tundra novice build - "The Rez"

    I got my camburg upper arms like that after the accident in my truck. Still came out cheaper than oe. Sean

    Trailscape's 06 Tundra

    The rear corners is probably from the rear window drain being plugged, mine does the same thing but I have been too lazy to clean it out. Sean

    2005 Tundra novice build - "The Rez"

    Takeoff bed may be viable, depending on damage to the inside, you might be able to just do a reskin with outer fenders. I would start by checking the alignment and getting that squared up, odds are the alignment cams just shifted. Then check the wheelbase and measure axle squareness to make...

    First Gen Tundra Recovery Points

    Those look like they would put a lot of leverage on the stock mounting point bolts, I am not sure I would run them but I am also not going to poo-poo someone else's work without running some calcs. Sean

    2002 Sequoia Limited 4WD

    Did you order the Siberian bushings direct or through a store? Sean

    Yes, it's a basket case. No, I was not on drugs when I built it... (2001 Toyota Tundra 2->4WD Build)

    6 month updates; The Tundra has been doing Tundra things, running well, being reliable, suffering from the rear driveline clunk etc. For a while now the steering has been on the vague side and I figured it was a similar thing to how the tacomas get loose in the slip joint. I learned to coexist...
