2000 Tundra "catch and release" expo rig

[AddictedOffroad]

What would it run to have you guys put gears in my 06 Tundra? Have you put one of your bumpers on a 1st gen DC?

I guarantee you'll have more than 100k left in it when it's all said and done.

They are just cv boots for a 79-86 Porsche 911

Thx for the props on my old black 4runner. I hear its still on the road/trail with the guy who got it off me in Northern CA.

I hate to bring up the late 80's/early 90's... but Downey Off-Road used to make a spiral boot that was fantastic. It ensured no rubbing of the... pleats... that often causes the wear. I wonder if they might still be available somewhere??

I'll come out and help with the build if you'll take me fly fishing :sombrero:

Lift is done. Tires/wheels done. Toyo Open Country A/T2. 34x11x17. Love the stance and look. Just what I was after.

Minor frame rubbing at full turn. It grazes the front lower valance on the bumper as well, but that will be cured with the plate bumper I will build.

Had an issue with the small oring on the back of the water pump that connects to the heater line.
It got torn when I installed it and had a very subtle coolant leak. So, i tore off the thermostat housing and was able to get it pulled and a new one installed. No leaks.

Ha!

Its funny, I fish less now that I own a boat. My buddies always refuse to get on the damn oars.

So, I implemented a new rule this year. "If you can't row, you can't go."

did you put spacers on the rear as well, or just front? /curious Like the look of the 4Runner wheels!

We just installed the new bumper on my 2000 today.

Nicely done, Scotty.

I'm loving this build! Well done sir.

 

[offthebeatenpath]

That looks great!

Is this the same bumper that Addicted Offroad sells for the Tundra/Sequoia?

If so, could you post some additional pictures of how the lower edge of the bumper transitions to the front diff area? I'd like to see how it's covered/protected.
