    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    Here is where I think we have gotten to so far. 1) An Add a Leaf kit works ok to get lift, but if the OEM leaf springs are old & tired, it won't last as long, or work quite as hoped. Keep in mind most of these Gen 1 trucks are 10 years + old. An AAL might work just fine for a newer...

    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    @toyick Wow! That is an unique setup! What do you use that set up for? Thanks for your input. @Kpack Sounds like we are on the same pursuit.

    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    Would you tow the trailer I listed with your setup? You mentioned earlier a 3000lbs number so was curious if the AG Deavers could handle the larger trailer. I don't have a heavy rear bumper now, nor do I envision do to much there in the future. I do run a hitch mounted cargo carrier...

    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    From what I have found the max towing capacity of my 2005 Tundra is 6800lbs for the DC model. Been looking at a trailer that has a max towing rating of 5500 with a dry hitch weight of 455lbs (Unloaded weight of 4435lbs) Thus my concern with the proper rear set up.. Somehow manage that, have...

    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    I called ALCAN yesterday as part of my research. $690 for the basic Leaf Pack, $10 per 100lbs of additional capacity. Figured I would add 600lbs to make up for the Canopy and Gear load. Gets me to an even $750 w/ $150 or so for S&H. Real close to the Archive Garage Deaver Leaf Pack. I would...

    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    Here is what I am leaning toward after reading replies and doing some research... Note, my thoughts on rear suspension are more adventure tuned (rough roads, canopy on top, towing a trailer) than rock crawling & dune jumping. :) New Leaf Pack (which one being the challenge), with rear shocks...

    Flyer's '02 Tundra adventure build

    Ah yes, I read wrong.... :) U Bolt Flip vs Shackle Flip... sorry about that, mixed up a few threads there.. ...... The U Bolt flip allowed you to get the Timbrens in there? Looking at AG's website they show a few different options. Would you have gone with something like Option 4 if you...

    Flyer's '02 Tundra adventure build

    We have talked about this setup on the rear suspension thread... :) Figured I would ask the question here. Would you still tow your 23' trailer with this setup? What specifically does the shackle flip do, articulation? Does the shackle flip affect load carrying capacity? On Archive Garage's...

    Gen 1 Tundra Rear Suspension Questions

    I saw what you did, sounds like it has worked well. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to find a local source for springs to save on the shipping though. ;)

    Camp shower advice needed

    I reached out to RinseKit, as your points made me rethink my debate on one of these.. This was their response. Quote: "The Heater pulls 9 amps, that is the max you can pull from a 12V car battery without shorting the fuse. The Heater warms water 11 degrees Fahrenheit every 30 minutes" In my...

    Camp shower advice needed

    I've been debating one of these: http://www.rinsekit.com/product/lux-adventure-bundle/ Portable, easy to use for rinsing off after running, hiking, mt biking, or dog training.... Could squeeze a shower or two out of it if needed. Anyone have any real world experience with one of these?

    Canopy Window Screen Enhancement - Pets & Security

    Perhaps you are right... Just seems like a lot of money.. :) I called another dealer who actually looked up the part number, Leer's price was $207 for the set. Guess that is just what it is... Next time I am in the hardware store I might wander through the wire mesh section and explore...

    Canopy Window Screen Enhancement - Pets & Security

    I saw this part on Leer's website when I was looking to get a new interior release handle. Their Pet Screen seems like it would provide a little bit of extra security on the slider windows and keep the dog from pushing the screens out. (Really do NOT like that all parts have to be ordered...
