I've heard from a very good source that all of the 3-Leaf progressive AAL's for the Tundra are made by the same manufacturer. Even if the Icon center pin isn't long enough you could just get longer pins and throw the overload in.

Guess I might go with wheelers.

Toyotech thanks again for making this happen.

Looks damn good. I need to add a sequoia to my fleet

I run the toytech 3 leaf AAL and I kept the overload leaf in and everything works fine. I got about 2-2.5 inches of lift, and the truck rides a ton better.

That's good to hear. I have a inch block I wanna get rid of and I like to keep the height where it's at. I guess I could run mine without the overload but I do tow a RZR a few times a year.

Spend V-Day at Panamint Springs Area. With help from a member on here Saharicon. Couldn't have done the trip without his way-points. The area is huge and no way I could have found all the spots to check out in less than two days. Didn't help that we left late Saturday and got there around 6pm :(
Pitch Black at night and so glad I have Plenty of LED lighting. Made the drive much safer. The views of the stars was amazing considering I can see them in the city anymore. 1st time using my truck on a solo trip (with GF) like this where we had to depend complete on what we had. Learn a ton and usually build my truck little by little after each trip so it is better fine tune. The initial build is done base of my experience with my runner that I built for overland travels but replaced by the tundra. Already got a few changes/add on to do before next month. Got another trip out to the mojave. Cant wait to try out a new set up.

to the pictures!! '

Great photos, thanks for sharing! I gotta get down that way, camping at that Geo's cabin has been on my to-do list for some time. Such a pretty area. Truck looks great in action too!

Yeah the place is huge. Wish I didn't get there so late on Saturday. I didn't pack the truck till Saturday and man did that burn some time lol. Now that I done a shakedown run. I know what I need to do. Can't wait for Mojave road trip!! Working on the truck when I can.

Truck will stay mostly loaded and ready to go from now on since it isn't a DD anymore.

The cabin was pretty cool. People either leave stuff for the next person or someone spends a good amount of time in it. Fridge (not running) had food in it.

Did get some trail damage. Mainly because it was an unplanned trail run. Was well worth it. Happen on the way down and got very tippy. Felt like it was gonna flop... Been in situations like that before in the runner and felt weird in the tundra lol.

Just order a fridge. Not sure where to put it. In the cab or in the bed. Unsure how much heat and noise it will put out since I so sleep in the back.

Here's my original fridge setup. I keep it in the back under my shell now though. Not sure what fridge you got, but this ARB never wakes me up.

I was thinking back seat too but I set up camp at rear of truck and really don't want to carry it around. I got one from Home Depot on sale now $430 for a 45qt one. Order a travel bag on Amazon for it.

This is where I want to mount mine. Is there any way it would fit rotated 90 degrees so the pivot for the lid was at the rear of the cab? Or just not enough room?

Mine's the smallest ARB and I think it might with the seat forward, but would be a tight fit. I don't have the seat removed to do a proper measurement. It might fit nicely in the middle between the front seats if you have buckets.

That's what I found works best myself. With an access cab it was also kind of a pain for quick fridge runs. I usually set up my tent and awning right at the back of the truck.
