First '07 Tundra Mods

[CLynn85]

Surprised there isn't a thread yet for this but I just started to notice these popping up.

Here's the 2.5" RevTek Lift on ExPo white. I didn't like the looks of them at the dealerships but with a little attitude adjustment.... (Click for bigger)

Just want to clarify that it's not my truck! (Though I wouldn't mind it) Just was trying to get a post going for all the goodies that are starting to appear for them.

That's a big truck. I think I need to at least take a test drive :snorkel:

I heard that ARB was planning on having a front bumper ready for right about now. Anyone seen anything yet?

Nice looking truck. I was able to check all the models out last January at the National Western Stock Show and I was impressed. I considered getting one but just don't think it is the right truck for me. They are huge. It is definitely a truck for the rancher or construction worker. I don't think I'd want to take one out on the trail tho. I think I'll just stick with my Tacoma.

Hmmmff - Looks like a cross between a Dodge Ram and Ford F150. Gonna' take an awful lot of getting used to.

Hyoooooge! But I think there are a great many places it will go! My 00 Tundra is about as wide (not a stock body or track width), and fits the strangest of places.

And you have so much more room for toys! Looking forward to seeing your build .

Can't wait til those 5.7 blocks start showing up here and there...probably have to wait a good couple years tho .

Took a double cab long bed with the 5.7 for a test drive yesterday just for kicks, and overall I thought it was just OK. The suspension was nice, and the ride was pretty smooth. The engine is super strong and the truck brakes like a sports car. Overall the performance was very good. It's funny, I knew Toyota was promoting the size of the brake calipers but wow, wait till you see them in person, they are huge.

This is way too big of truck for me however, and I felt like I was driving a bus. Also looking around the outside I thought that the front end of the bumper hung down way too low, it looked like an area that could be damaged easily if not careful, the hood is oddly shaped as well. It doesn't show up as well in pics but the bulges are over pronounced and looks strang. The interior styling was also only OK in my books, I wasn't overly impressed by anything but I did like the huge amount of room and the center console is ridiclously huge. Seats were nice....and wide, most certainly made for big North American butts.

Overall it's a nice truck, but for what ever reason I was expecting more. If I was looking at a full size truck I would still go with a Chevy or GMC, maybe a 2500 with the 6.6 liter diesel. Toyota did good, but I think there is still room for improvement. I hate to say it but I liked the new GMC I test drove better.
