While in training down in LA, I'm awarded Portland as a base. Thank God. I wouldn't have done well in Oakland. The next day they ask me how I feel about an outstation in Redmond Oregon. Now is probably a good time for some info on the schedule of a cargo pilot for Ameriflight. Most pilots...
All is going well on the drive across the country, I hit some dirt outside Albuquerque and exercise the 4WD a bit. Get back on the highway and she's really pulling well, doing 70 mph as I roll through New Mexico. I pull off in Albuquerque and feel something really weird as I pull into a...
At this point in the story I've taken a new job on the other side of the country and am preparing to move from the East coast of Florida to a crew base in either Oakland or Portland. I have a 6x12 enclosed trailer for the Tundra to pull after I load everything I have into it, including 3...
Great flex out of the rear, but definitely lacking up front. The swaybar must go. I don't care about body roll, I don't drive it like a racecar anyway. So I take the sway bar off. Great move. Great flex, almost no change in the street driving. It goes away with a load of scrap metal never...
Step 1: Ditch the side steps
Step 2: Make some noise and breathe more easily
hmmmmmm, not enough noise.
Step 3: Make more noise
Now we're talking. Still pretty mild, though. Those big catalytic converters and the resonator and a full length of piping knocks the dB level down...
I've had the truck for about a year and a half now and I realized I have no build thread :Wow1: So here I am stuck in a hotel in Omaha Nebraska with almost nothing to do, why not get y'all caught up on my build. I've been seeing some nice Tundra builds on here making me :drool:
Here she is...
Looks great! I love the DCs. Couple questions, can you use the trailer's wheels as spares for the Tundra? Seems like it would be nice if they were interchangeable. Also, why do you need 24v in the trailer? Do the Firestone airbags help out the ride even unloaded?
I have them on the highest setting, had to lift the back-end to match. I think on the second from the top notch it would be about level. Get the dif drop kit, it's cheap and you lose zero clearance.
Lookin good Jim!
How does that Hidden Hitch bolt on up front? Does it use the factory tow hook mount points? One of the backing nuts on mine got sheared off my an idiot with an impact wrench in his hands... Anyway I have a 9000lb T-Max competition winch off my old Bronco with no place to...
I'm not a fan of bumper protectors, if you're going to throw some metal up there, replace the bumper. Stupid chrome grill extending onto the front bumper has always been the one thing I don't like about the looks of my Tundra anyway. I'd like a nice tubular pre runner style bumper with...
