Petersons Ultimate Adventure Tundra

Well, my searching for Tundra mods can stop.

Good work dude.

She's getting better every time I let her drive, I think chicks can keep a level head a little better.......where if I don't make an obstacle on the first few tries with finesse......I ask everyone to step to the side and mat it till it either makes it or something flies apart !

Here Andrea is during our Labor Day run showing all the guys up!

40's just arrived so it's going to be a late night for me tonight .

Installed 5.13's last Friday and also did a few very small mods to help clear them -


Had to lose the windshield washer reservoir that came factory in the passenger side wheel well. I already reduced the original size years ago by making a S.S. reservoir, but it had to go all together this time. Not a lot of room in the engine bay, especially while still planning on 3-linking the front and having to make room for the coil-overs, but I did manage to squeeze about one liter under there -

Did a little trimming up front on the inner fender wells -

Dropped the rear bump stops down 2" -

Reworked the front bumper side supports to gain a little clearance -

And slid the spare tire mount back 4" to clear the shocks -

And the new shoes -

Nice shoes!!!. I like the windshield washer reservoir idea. Looks like I'll be taking a trip out to Home Depot. What diameter is that?

sweet D's :costumed-smiley-007
i am diggin your windshield washer reservoir. mine hangs way to low in the fender well, tire rubs on it and it freezes solid unless i put -30 washer fluid in it. home depot hear i come. How much fluid dose it hold?

 

[01tundra]

It holds this much (not exactly sure how much it measures out to be though) -

The pipe is 3" Sch. 40 PVC. I have to double check the reducer, but I believe it was a 3"x2". I bolted a 4" Sch. 10 cap down to the fender well for the reservoir to sit in to keep the bottom from moving. Hindsight, I suppose I could have cut a 4" hole in the fender well (there's a hole almost that size already) and let the reservoir pass down through the fender well a little to maximize volume........oh well.....that will be my 2nd Gen design :sombrero:! I just popped the two rubber grommets out of the factory reservoir and put them in the new one - no sealer, no leaks.

looks good. It looks like yours hung down just like mine dose. I think i will make it longer, i wont at least 1/2 gal. But any thing is better than what i have now.

The MI part of the UA doesn't come out until the Dec. issue so the pics aren't popping from here yet.

Looks good with the D's on. what kind of mileage did you get with the 37's? how dose it ride with the new shoes?

On the interstate running 70 MPH I was at around 16 MPG. It actually rides a lot better with the 40's, think it's the added sidewall height.

 

[01tundra]

Fall Crawl, Harlan, KY = cut sidewall, grenaded locking hub, beat up mirror, shot spring bushings, shot shock eyelet bearings, bent slider, more dents, less paint, lots of mud to clean off...............good times !

They did awesome until I put a 4" long gash in one of them ! I'm going to have it vulcanized so it will still serve as a spare for off-road purposes.
