JayRolla's Build Thread! Pics!

Hell ya man, you're doing some really solid mods lately. I absolutely LOVE my SPC arms. Let me ask you a question, viewing the truck from the front, does it appear that you have some positive camber? I have 0 degrees each side, but visually it appears that I have a few degrees of positive camber.

Also, your seat covers, was that price for front and back? Keep it coming man!

No that's just for front. They do rears for another $179.

As for the camber yes it looks that way and did before the arms also. I'm getting her aligned first thing Monday. Thanks for compliment on mods. She is coming along.
 
Also new camping tow. I'm storing for family. But can use when ever.

You just have to make sure when removing you keep the washer near the control arm and slide it out. I had to bend the fender in a bit with some plyers and used a wrag to protect paint, then just bend the fender back with my rubber sledge. Worked out pretty good, its how most online have done it in past.
 
Installed a cericrap cheapo hood. Picked her up for $50 and is new. Not bad for a temp fix till I paint/vinyl wrap and or find a good OEM hood. Im not even huge on sport hoods. Never really liked them and still cant find a clean silver regular hood.

Also did the best mod Ive ever done to the rig and the part has been in garage pretty much since I bought her.

Installed my front sway bar with new cheapo tundra end links. The are at least the cast version and not press and weld. Also have front and rear energy sway bar bushings on order.

Im going on a trip with family through New Mexico this weekend and thought it was time to put it back in. I cant believe how much better it handles. Feels like a car instead of truck again. Wife was so happy how much easier to drive.

It's funny how much of a difference the sway bar end links & bushings really do make. Such a small thing too.

Nice build bro!! But doesnt the separation from your front bumper and the lights annoy you?

Well I got over it untill you said something again. Thanks a lot. No it dont bother me. I would rather run this bumper with the gap than run any other bumper. Thats how much I love it.

Once I get another DD and this goes SAS I will be removing the body lift and no more gap. But that will be some time.

Yes this bumper is not compensated for the body lift. That way if I remove body kit I dont have to worry about he bumper. You never want to build armor around the body kit, then you can never remove it.
 
Energy suspension rear poly sway bar bushings installed. Fronts are on way but won't be here for my New Mexico trip. Oh well. She handles 1 million times better. I will never be advocate for removing any sway bar.

Going to get new oem rear links and LCEngineering tundra front links when I get back. Only $85 for fronts. Posted pic below.

How much longer are those tundra endlinks and what year/model are they for?
Click to expand...

They are not much longer at all and are designed for the 1999-2006 tundra. You must enlarge the sway bar eye hole to fit the larger end link. I have not picked them up yet to try them out.
