TaTundra 1 gen DC build

[tyv12]

Ya I plated the body mount up, definitely took out more than I absolutely needed but if I was gonna cut I only
Wanted to do it once and I have room now to add a fender liner and mudflap. Trimmed the lower portion of the factory fender and a little bit of the flare and will the super bumps I can keep the factory fenders with flares intact. I lose a little up travel for now
But at least I don't have to hack up the fenders

So modified my undercover snorkel similar to seanpistol, I'm paranoid about
Water in the intake as I've hydrolocked before. Was able to modify my existing setup to run into the cowl. Easier than I expected and my only concern is possible intake noise. Wing close to the hvac intake as well but if it's noisy on the highway I still have my deckplate so
I can unscrew that on the highway. The right side of the cowl is all closed in so I figure it's a pretty safe bet pulling from there.

That looks great! I agree with you on the center caps, definately looks better without them.

I think that with a vinyl Toyota emblem in grey or black the center caps would look good.

Nice work on the snorkel...that's a clean set up hidden behind the fender.

Hell yeah. Looks sick on 35's

Love those FN wheels, they've gotten constant compliments on my rig!

Cool to see someone else use that idea. I may end up having to dump mine with all the new uptravel I'm going to have.

I don't feel sorry for you at all. haha

So trd centre caps arrived, they snap right into the fn centre caps I think cleans up the look a little bit

Also found a deal on a brand new front air locker so hoping over the next little bit collect parts for lockers/4.56s.

Only tank of fuel I have put through has been colder than -25c with some back roads exploring/donuts on the lake and I averaged 11mpg (22l/100km) with stock gearing...gulp

Now that I've started flexing things out I realize I'm gonna have to take about 2" out of my front fenders and slight trimming in the rear. There's lots of threads about cutting but I want to retain my flares as well as make some wheel well liners out of abs sheeting because I don't want everything plugging up with mud but am having trouble finding ideas on how to mount the liner, if anyone's seen examples of this let me know

If I regeared for 35s again, I'd do 4.88s without hesitation.

So got the fenders and bumper trimmed to clear, used an idea from a Tacoma fender trim. Epoxied the cut off portion of the fender to the inside of the flare to give it some
Strength and somewhere to mount the mud flap. Put a 1/4" spacer behind the bump stop and it reduces my uptravel by about an inch but the I didn't have to cut the entire flare up and I can keep it looking fairly factory

You getting any drone coming through the cabin with the internal snorkel? Love the wheel setup?

 

[tyv12]

No noise at all because it's not in the cab, it's actually quieter than when I have the deckplate unscrewed, need to do some gas mileage comparisons with it pulling through the snorkel to see if I'm losing any thing pulling through a 3" tube

Started working on the rear swingout, 4x innovation hinge kit is super beefy and fits real well. Just trying to figure out a jerry can rack and I'm getting about 1/2" of sag at the latch end so I have to figure out how to overcome that
