What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Finally got the bumps on and 2.5 tundra shocks tuned and put on.
Compliments the front LT very well.

Actually, it was mostly flat road and no traffic lights to stop for, as well as average was just reset :) Realistically, it averages about 17 MPG over longer time.
 
hell yea!. those tundra shocks get more droop yea?


Yeah exactly. I don’t know why anyone would go any other route for rears. We also mounted the bumps much higher than they recommend. We didn’t really understand why TC wants them mounted so low in the instructions. Did you do the same for yours?

yea i bolted them up to the OEM mounts to help locate them and then burned them in. Then I used the threaded kings to fine tune them based off my king shocks. I'm sure my kings are limiting me vs your tundra fox's though. I cycled it without the rear springs and it worked pretty slick. I should cycle them with the tires on to see how close my tires are to ripping the fenders off though. Or maybe i did? it was a year ago and i was deep in an 18 pack of modelo.


my bumps are the super short bumps, i think 2" travel. are yours the 4" ones?
 
Finally got time to install the garage sale bumper I picked up from Matt at SSO.

For those that may be curious...

SSO Slimline (no bar, universal cut)
Smittybilt X2O 10K winch with synthetic line
Agency 6 shackle
Heise 32in light bar

No they are 2 inch but the technology in the ipf sold me. They were a little more expensive than kings and general fox bumps which I have the former on a ranger build and i can really feel the difference. Did you do anything with your links?

completely stock links. PRG products sells a link kit but he deletes the driver side upper link.


Cali fab has their actual long travel link setup though.....thats pretty awesome.


back end isnt the issue for me though, since the front isn't Long travel.
 
Pinch Welds

Completed my pinch welds yesterday for more clearance for the 35s

Cut it sections, hammered with a sledge, sealed with 3M black urethane seam sealer, then sprayed black. I also trimmed a lot of metal right behind the plasic rocker caps.

Turned out great and was easier than expected.

I think I'm going to add a coat of bed liner over the whole thing though to make it look a little cleaner.

Had the truck shop in SD put on:

ARB Front lockers
488 gears
Truck Shop spindle gussets
Truck Shop Cam gussets
Icon Hydro bumps

Wish I had better pictures but I went with the Truck Shop spindle gussets because their worksmanship have been on par if not THiCC'er than TC.

Truck Shop Cam gussets, because my cam tabs were WRECKED after lots of offroading and alignment monkeys.

4.88 on 33's....No more gear hunting, holds 5th going up and down hills at highway speed and keeps my tranny temps in the 160 to 180 range. Don't FEAR DA REGEAR!!!!

Front Lockers, I need to crawl on dem curbs at dem malls.

Icon rear hydrobumps to replace my timbrens rear bump stops. No real reason other than i wanted to test them out. The shop took the timbrens out, said it was redundant.

Recently installed Finn Fab rear window molle panels and was looking for some illumination ideas for the rear cargo area in general. Wanted something I could hook up to the future powerport. Not much out there I liked, and about broke the “budget” with the panel purchase. So cheap solution?

Rechargeable Gooseneck book lamp off Amazon...$8.00[emoji109]
