I had rebuilt most of this truck a few years ago, but never dropped the fuel tank. Had the brake line burst and found a bunch of rust. No longer have capabilities or time to fix. I did buy a complete saftcap set for both frame rails. Everything has been refitted with the engine being rebuilt...

Odo: ~240,000 Rebuild at 215 with a complete engine rebuild and all brand new suspension. This has been my project for a few years but I found another section of frame rust and I no longer have the capabilities to fix it. I bought frame repair sections from Saf-T-Cap that havent been installed...

Thats about the point of research I had left off at. More pressing things to do then a nice to have.

I grabbed some from a U-pull junkyard for like 20 bucks

Check your air filter, I was having weird misfires. And while looking into the air box the filter looked fine. A bunch of mud and dirt had gotten into the folds. Replaced the filter and they all went away.

This is something I have been looking into and would like to address at some point. I wonder if a matching tundra master would fit in the 4r?

Im running those same spacers and had the same concern. Ended up replacing the lug studs with ones for the rear that are a few threads longer and can be ordered pretty cheap from rock auto.Link to Rockauto Heres the length comparrison And once installed

Ive replaced all of the front and rear lines (not the one running to the rear though) with OEMs and they were super cheap. Like 6 bucks a piece.

This is the one spot I have left to fix on my frame (Besides for about the hitch, which seeing as Im towing like 5k I probably should have also fixed) Just havent been looking forward to fighting all those rusty bolts to drop the tank.

Moving to Colorado Hooked up and on my way to Colorado.

The tongue weight im a bit worried about trying to get right. Dont want overload the hitch but def want make sure to keep loading safe and proper. And I need do a HF run before I leave anyone to exchange all of my recalled jack stands. So good tip on the etrack.

Just signed a lease on a place in Longmont. So shouldnt really have to hit any major slopes on the drive.

Aww man, I almost picked up a pair of these to use in my 4R a few months ago, but instead got a pair of 2017 WRX seats. And they are not an easy install, have been working on it for weeks and just got the passenger side done... ish.

Ive got a 2 inch drop mount. Atleast unloaded the runner is barely squatting at all. Im considering airbags, but im leaving in less than two weeks, so shipping time and installation time is a pretty big priority right now.

Thanks, I'm a bit nervous of the move to be honest. Giving up a lot to try out this new job for a bunch of potentials. But worst case, now doesn't seem to be a bad time to cash out on my house. And in a year if I have to come back to Michigan with my tail between my legs, I shouldn't have too...
