Describe what you did to hammer the firewall. I just got through trimming back my pinch welds so there is no interference there, but I'm almost positive I'll hit the firewall when the wheel is turned and compressed. I'd really like to not tub if I can avoid it. I might just have to ditch my...

Lighting Upgrades Purpose With the new switch box I am finally able to easily add lighting and such that I've wanted to do for a while. All that I need to do to add lights or other accessories is ground the light/accessory somewhere, and run the positive wire up to the switch box and connect...

Project: Electrical upgrades Purpose: I got tired of trying to take wire after wire through the firewall and my engine bay was starting to look like a rat's nest. Also, once I installed my ham radio, I blocked my view of the ARB compressor and rear locker switches I had mounted low on the...

I think what you came up with Trailscape. Certainly looks like it will work well. Toyotech, count me in for one if you design one that utilizes the factory handle mounts. I'd rather not have to remove my headliner. You'll just need to make sure it is designed for stiffness, otherwise it'll...

I actually think the size is perfect. Coming from running very tight trails, anything that sticks out past the tires is going to get nailed by rocks and trees. Your tray is right about in line with the cab. The front bar seems a bit narrow perhaps, but annoyingly so. I wonder how hard it...

Pretty cool to see some ute beds popping up. I'd be interested to know a bit more about them....what size bed, how difficult to install, etc. I love the size of the 1st gen Tundra. And I LOVE the rear power window. That reason alone is nearly enough to buy this truck. That's mostly the...

Ditch the airbags. If you're not going to be towing or consistently hauling heavy loads then they really aren't going to be of use to you. With an AAL you will gain some of that hauling ability back (at least if you do a single AAL and keep the overload spring....can't say for sure on the 3...

Still trying to find a good alignment. My last before this one was the straightest I've ever had, but the wheels were set way too far back and the tires tore up the rear inner fender liner and firewall. Drove me nuts every time I was on the trail. I've had it done by 3 different places with...

I was actually hoping for more caster, but at least it's better than what it was. If my steering wheel is centered there is no pull. Would that just be a toe adjustment? Here are the cams. Interesingly the passenger side is opposite of what I thought it would be....I expected rear out, front...

Thanks for the tips. I'm leaning more and more towards doing my own alignments from now on. I'll have to look at that kit and see if it makes sense. I just got the truck back from alignment and it's better in some areas, worse in others. Better: no rubbing on the pinch weld or firewall...

When you say max caster, do you know what your numbers are? And are you trying to hit 0.0 with camber? Reading on TundraSolutions the prevailing thought is +0.25 camber. But that's on stock vehicles, and mine is definitely not stock.

Ahh, yes. I had forgotten you switched over to the Solo kit. That makes way more sense now.

This looks intriguing. My alignments have been hit and miss. I wonder if I could get a more consistent, and better result with this kit?

Wait, so are you saying that more caster made it worse? I thought more caster was supposed to make the front end more stable and make it return to center easier? I'm getting mine aligned today and I was going to have them aim for ~ +3.0 caster.

Well I messed with it a bit, but it's way off. Camber is super negative and toe is open. I'm out of my league trying to dial it in. I got into Les Schwab tomorrow, so I'll just limp it there. My alignments there have been so-so but it's better than nothing.

I spent an "enjoyable" few hours swapping out my LCA cam bolts for OEM ones. Previously I had my old, seized OEM bolts replaced by a local shop. They cut the old ones out, and replaced with what I think are SPC bolts. I've had an annoying clunk when turning for a while now and I believe I...

I've looked into that for the 1st gen Tundra, but we don't have the room behind the rear seats that the Tacoma guys do. On the DC the whole rear window slides down, and the mechanism takes up a lot of room. I honestly think the best option would be similar to the OG Fab overhead panel...

That looks like a great solution. Very clean and functional. I wonder if that cable will rattle a bunch on rough roads though....nothing a little padding couldn't fix I'm sure. On a side note, I'm super jealous of the incredibly useful Molle panels you can install in a Sequoia. I have...

Thanks. The frame has only ever looked this good immediately after painting it. I'm amazed at Fluid Film's ability to protect from corrosion. I was shocked to find that it was all still there, even after a year of hard use and abuse. The only areas that rusted were parts that I missed...

Fluid Film - I'm a believer For the past couple of years I've been fighting to control the rust that appears after every winter on my underframe. Grinding, scraping, and painting would last a year and I would have to do it again. The frame would have surface rust almost everywhere, with a few...
