Well a little more progress. This week I got the wheels refurbished. that was an easy but time consuming project. Just waiting a few more days for dry time so I can get the New tires mounted. Before they were peeling badly and had a bit of aluminum corrosion. After I cleaned them. I used a...

With the auto and 255/85 you will ideally have 5.29. The toyota Auto trans just sucks the life out of those trucks.

Any up dates on this?

Well things are still moving along. I have removed the tires from the wheels and am getting ready to freshen up the wheels. The rear axle has been taken down with new axle seals and bearings, new fluids sanded primed and painted. I had to cut the ubolts to get it out and got a little froggy with...

Well you can do a lot for 5k. Assuming the vehicle is mechanically in great shape and we do not need to address mechanical here is my list. Ditch the flashy wheels and tires for some stock wheels and mud terrains a 265 tire will do more then you think. Next dual battery with at least a solar...

Really happy with my 255/85 bighirns load d. However if u do not need the larger size tire save the $ and celebrate with a road trip.

It's the auto that is killing you. I went from 3.57 on 31" up to 255/85 and 4.88 with my 3rz manual. Huge difference but the manual puts the power down better. I don't think I could ever willingly purchase a Toyota automatic. They just Rob so much performance due to drive ratio. 265 and 4.88 +...

Well unfortunately today was an errand day. But good news I got my first pile of parts. I picked up the chassis degreaser and por15 for the frame. Then I picked up all the brake parts. New drums shoes cylinders self adjusters and hardware for the rear brakes. Also got New tundra pads and rotors...

Lots of good stuff,in here. Imo add good recovery gear, basic spares to cover basic things like belts hoses some get tire repair kit ratchet straps and air compressor and some basic tools. After that load your personal and camping gear have fun. Level 2 upgrade to good at or mt tire, does not...

Well still taking her apart. Out with the tank. Going to drain and flush It since,It has sat for so long. Now the leaves are coming out. This will give me better access to frame for a refresh. Over all frame is ok but given the issues with these frames I am going to brush the frame, steam clean...

Well I was out of town for several days. Decided to pull kids out of school for a 4 day weekend to Orlando. Hit Mecum, Disney world and a couple days r&r at the hotel. You know. Sun shine swimming etc. Sorry for u northern folk up in the blizzard! Any way got home and someone left a pile of...

For me personally I would buy a base and upgrade suspension, gears, and lockers. But since you have a limited budget get the trd then to a small mud terrain upgrade to good offroad tires in similar size to stock. It will take you anywhere you want and then some. So you can focus on setting it up...

Thanks for the offer ill probably take you up on that. I'll let you know when I get closer to needing a hand.

Never know I might sell it in the next year. I do need something bigger for The family in the long run. Depends on how $ goes. I am getting something new to do Dd duty so depending on what that is.

Well a good first day. Had to run a few errands picked some tire skates to move,the truck around and a lot of fluids filter etc. Finally got to work and spent a lot of time cleaning but did get the snorkel removed to clean and reseal the system.man was it dirty.truck has been outside for 2 years...

Well just when u thought this truck was gone for ever, the prodigal Toyota returns. Hard to believe this thing has been sitting quietly for 7 years! After a lot of work drama, a sinkhole under my home 2 kids a 4 ys law suit and 2 moves and 2 surgeries later we are ready. I went and got the...

Not sure if I missed it but I didn't see the knock sensors listed. On the ls based motors they are under the intake manifold and down in a recess. Water gets in the recess and rots them out. You will need 2 knock sensors, the wiring harness pigtail, intake gasket, intake manifold bolts since...

ll it looks like a refresh of the current truck I guess if your crushing the competiion though why go to a total redesign if you are winning right. The interior looks much improved overall. Good on Toyota for not straying from the current design.

Man that is a big fridge. Looks like ur headed for a better roof rack or trailer with that beast in the back. I thought the engel 60 took up a lot of room in my suburban lol!

Yep it will be inteesting to see the new nissan but I do not think the diesel will happen before 2018. If it is a 2017 roll out on the new design you can bet on a year wait for diesel. The cummings will be sweet if it happens but nissan has a long way to go on the interior. They love all that...
