    "Arctica" 2015 Crewmax Platinum Tundra Build

    I have had a few folks ask about pictures of the new lowers , so I thought I would post a few shots I obviously have removed my swaybar. I can barely tell it isn't there with this suspension. I see no need to put it back on Next up Limited time has caused a delay in actual progress...

    "Arctica" 2015 Crewmax Platinum Tundra Build

    I have been busy with work stuff since Expo, but today I made a little progress. I was always going for more of an old school look, on the lights, with new technology, of course, so my next thought was to get the round bezels for the lights. This makes the light look bigger in size, which...

    Since I received a big box of lights from Baja Designs, I figured I may as well begin installing them First up 3 lights for the front bumper. You know its never as easy as just bolting them on and plugging them in. I bolted the first one, and realized that the angle of the bumper didn't...

    I tell you what. I can pm you my vin number, then call Toyota and ask for a price quote for the passenger side mirror for that truck. The list price is north of $950 I called a few aftermarket companies including CarID and they don't have the mirror for this yet. I was misquoted yesterday...

    "Arctica" 2015 Crewmax Platinum Tundra Build

    Before the suspension , I opened up the body mount, to make sure I had clearance. Today, I went ahead and closed it up. Wheels/tires clear just fine . I have a hard time understanding, why plates are sold to fill the gap, when its really pretty easy to cut them with an angle grinder, then...

Most 12 volt dual battery systems that are negative ground will work similar. http://www.nationalluna.com/Datasheets/Intel%20Solenoid%20Instructions.pdf The basic instructions are this I think national luna recommends 4 gauge, but I use...

    I know. It's almost like it needs 37's I received these today I will be running 2 of these through the roof of the shell, for my wire runs Along with these I got junction boxes. I like this idea, instead of several plugs that I need to mess with. Once I figure out mounting for the J...

    Thanks I waivered on them, but ultimately decided they look great. Deaver is building a new set. nothing like working with a quality company :-) Thanks Thanks The fuel tank is a big win for me. The trip to California, is less about figuring out where the next fill up is. There IS a...

    thanks I didn't need the spacers. It looks correct without them. The stance looks good, with this set up here are some poser pics from Yesterday After the suspension install I could immediately tell the difference, on the road. Only problem was, I was carrying all the stock parts, that...

    I thought about that as well. I will deal with one problem at a time. I know they are making good progress on the install, so I may even get it back this evening. I thought I was going to get the Method Mesh wheels, but decided on the standards in a machine finish.

    I took some time today to remote mount the winch Solenoid in the engine bay behind the, air box. I will need to fab an actual mount there, for now it is wire tied to the fuse box. I wanted to make the winch operational, so I could wind in the rope and put the Factor 55 thimble on. My next...

    "Arctica" 2015 Crewmax Platinum Tundra Build

    I wanted to get most of the weight in before I got the suspension installed . It will be good to try and set everything to actual weight I am rolling with. This will also tell me if something needs upgrading, but I hope not I don't have the name of the crimpers, but here is a picture of...
