The PPI 015 truck has always been a dream/inspiration for me. It wasn't technically a tundra when it was originally built but it got there eventually. Never used the SPC stuff but most people have had positive comments about them, I do really like the caster adjustment on the first gen arms...

You hit the nail on the head. Upper arms and good shocks pull 13"+ on the your gen which is 3.5" over long travel territory on the first gens. Toyota kicked some serious butt on this truck from the factory but really missed an opportunity to do an Ironman offroad edition before ford did the...

Neat, do you know if they are rebuildable? Not that bilstein makes bad stuff but those are a heck of a lot bigger than what used to be offered as the TRD offroad parts. I like that the raptor has gotten everyone to step up their games. I will be interested in seeing your feedback on the new...

Other than measuring the primary and secondary winding resistance there isn't much you can do. The problem is that you can have heat driven dielectric breakdown which is pretty much impossible to find using a meter since it is an intermittent fault. Sean

Did you fab the body lift yourself or buy a kit? Daystar made a 1" kit for the tundra for a while but they discontinued them a few years back. Sean

Next time you notice it, kick the cruise control on and use that to accelerate. If the truck accelerates like normal the sensor is probably on its way out. Mine was noticable and random all across the rpm/speed band and would just "go limp" even while crusing steady state. Its not cheap, I...

I had an issue with the stock headlight plugs, and the aftermarket driving light fuse on my mini getting hot and melting. Based on the plug, it looks like you got high resistivity on one pin that took out the rest. Do you use dielectric grease on the plugs when you connect them? Sean

Turned out the accelerator position sensor was the culpret and it has since been fixed with a ntk replacement from rock auto. The truck has been running well since then and I have just been doing normal truck stuff with it. I do need to track down the leak in my airbag line on the drivers side...

What bearings did you go with? When I was prepping for the my manual hub swap I read nothing but bead reviews about the aftermarket ones. The OE bearings cost almost as much as the drive hubs but I figured if they are what keeps the wheel in place, its worth the cost for peace of mind. Sean

The first time I blew the diff in my tundra (8.4 not 8.2), I took 4 teeth off the ring gear and 2 off the pinion gear. I had been drag racing (probably 50-60 passes at the local nhra track) and as any inexperienced teen is known to do, was doing "sick" burnouts on my 285/75/16 bfg ats. I didn't...

I have a set of spidertrax that need a single stud replaced if you are interested. I would let them go cheap as they are just taking up space in my garage right now Sean

I got curious about the kit after you posted it and checked out what it would cost to ship to Houston, $225... in case anyone else was wondering. Sean

If you have not already, consider doing the inside surface of the fiberglass fenders with the bedliner. Supposedly it helps prevent spider cracks from popping up through the paint due to rock impacts on the inside of the fender. Sean

The factory crash structure is suuuuuuper cheesy. I would reconsider that setup. When I did my install, I ended up using 1/4" plates to cap the frame, then welding the plate to the upper portion of the frame with loads of bracing to tie into the stock frame section over a bigger area...

Nice thanks for the reply. On the steering, I thought I had read somwhere that the bms clevis adapter was slightly furter out than the than the oe inner tie rod end pivot but its been a while since I messed with it. What bolt size did you use in the heims for the outer tie rod ends? For...

I had been considering how to do the LBJ conversion with a stock spindle for a while. Nicely executed! On the heim steering, what size joints did you use? I played around with some 3/4" and 7/8" but never got the bump steer dialed out enough to where I liked how it drove. I may need to revisit...

Looks like a lot of labor to use but it is way lighter. https://www.deadmanoffroad.com/ Sean

Trip number 2 has mostly been successful so far. I am heading home tomorrow and will hopefully make it back to Houston in one piece. The only issue so far has been the tps acting up. I can be cruising along and all the sudden there is a sort of dead spot in the pedal. I can still accelerate...

So glad I spent all that time and money on this thing. It did the dry gravel driveway no problem, things got tense when I had to park on the damp grass but 2wd high turned out to be enough with the limited slip. Crisis averted. No fish were harmed on the weekend so I am happy to report I did my...

What are the approximate dimensions? Shipping makes a huge difference. Sean
