My bumper search began last summer, 2022. I was on a camping trip up HWY1 northern California. BLAM!!!! I hit a deer. Jumped out from right to left, I saw it spinning 360's down the road with all four feet up in the air... toast. OMG... the first things that go through your mind. The deer is toast, how bad did it f/U my truck??? Almost afraid to pull over and look. The front of Toyotas are plastic. I pulled over eventually. Thought I was going to be going home at the best. Only a bent front licence frame. Hit at the perfect angle. If I hit anything now I will win.

Goodmornin and excellent video. I just bought a 2006 dc tundra and i would really like a camper shell like this one you show in the video, where can i find one like this?

Looks sharp! Nice job. On the farmland of SoCal farm tractors track through the thickest of mud using tall skinny tires with ease.

That cap is awesome. I have a pretty basic Leer on my 2013 Crewmax Rock Warrior. Unfortunately, Crewmax caps are next to impossible to find on the used market so I was limited to my basic model with just the slider windows and the ugly rear door. I'm even trying to get rid of the cap bc I just don't like having to crawl all the way in the bed to grab something. Really like how this truck is setup.

I have an 04 Tundra Extended cab. Bought it new off the showroom floor in March 2004. 165,000 dealer serviced miles. It is not feasible to sell this truck and buy something new. I have done the Bilstein 5100 upgrade, I had a Snug Top fiberglass cab high cap. (Still have it if somebody wants to buy it) Replaced this summer with a custom GFC camper. Stellar Built in Nor Cal Sacto is the GFC installer/dealer. If you have a Toyota, that place is evil. What they do.. Now I have custom front/rear steel bumpers with a 10,000 lb winch. Upgrading the front 5100/OEM spring combo now to 6112's. A complete front suspension rebuild. New lower ball joints/bushings, New OEM tie rod ends, Shopping around right now for the best upper control arm replacement. Just got the new 6112's, new shock tower caps. After 165,00 miles. Making an old truck better than new. The cost of 3/4 monthly car payments on a new Yota..

Tyler... just bought a 02 Tundra 1 owner from Boise area with the access cab... owned several Toyotas !! like a dozen and this is my favorite by far... having said that I just sold a newer Avalon Limited '20 model.... the new stuff just doesn't do it for me... even if it gets over 40 mpg... so much plastic and inferior parts... aside from the JBL stereo, one of the best audios I've ever experienced! Probably should have chopped the Frame and put it in my living room. 🤣 Hope Toyota reels it back before they walk off the cliff with the 4 cylinder turbo engines... guess the 4runner is still made in Japan and not hybrid yet.... Disclaimer, I'm not a hybrid hater... I just drive vehicles way too hard at times to qualify to be a hybrid owner. Having said that this 4.7 isn't a high revving motor but a torque motor... the 2 / 1 Milly examples were used extensively with pay loads... love this motor and one of the best ever made... and I step in this vehicle and realize it just wants to maybe run 2.5 grand tops on the rpms to move through traffic and tugs every so gracefully!! My neighbor literally said that truck has a V8? epic moment! This video/truck is amazing, and mine is nothing like this truck, but again I don't need all the amenities to have fun in the woods... having said that... this truck is not only a daily driver, and off road adventurer but also a date night example (in Idaho). Mine accomplishes the same with my dynamic personality and dialogue... lol If you're interested? I would love to do a video when I'm finished with my truck... reach out to me... seriously, all jokes aside!! I'm on Tundras.com as 02TundraIdaho and have a specific discussion on it at 02 Tundra SR5

Beautiful truck! I have a perfectly good 06 Tacoma long bed double cab that I have built very similar to this. Clean, no frills, 255s, basic bed camping setup. But I am longing for a little more space for the family on long trips and a bigger, deeper bed area. oh, and that extra power would be nice. I am just having such a hard time giving up a perfectly good truck. decisions decisions...

Does that camper shell have any supports in the roof to accommodate the rack? Or is it just bolted on through the fiberglass?

@208Tyler

Жыл бұрын

My understanding is that this is not a shell with a reinforced or thickened roof. It’s a typical shell with the tracks bolted through the roof.

in regards to the front brake upgrade, my understanding us that Toyota began putting larger front brakes on the tundra in the second half of 2003, so tundras made during and after that time already have the larger brake set up as Toyota found the original set up was not sufficient. They created a retrofit package that could be used to upgrade the previous models to the larger brakes. my question is therefore, is the brake set to mentioned for the Lexus better/ larger than the later 2003+ models already have? i have towed a horse trailer over 6k pounds through mountains with no problem with the factory Toyota tow package and this trailer brakes... and i run 265/70/r17 tires on stock limited oem wheels

@208Tyler

Жыл бұрын

You’re correct. Toyota upgraded the brakes, and the brakes from a late mode tundra would retrofit perfectly onto my tundra, provided I trimmed the dust shield. However, the Lexus brakes are even bigger than those. It’s another big step up in performance, as these brakes are from late model vehicles with higher performance OEM brakes. It may not be necessary for a lot of use cases, but it’s a good addition when adding larger tires. In the case of this black pickup, he’s on 34” tires and the brake upgrade makes sense from a safety standpoint.

I’ve read people with the 00-04 upgrade to the LCAs, Spindles, and Brakes of the 05-06 because they are all larger, so why in particular would you want to switch to the Lexus brakes. Is it really that necessary if going to slightly larger tires?

Hey! Good question! So, normal suspension lifts like this don’t exactly help you “fit” tires. Larger tires may clear during normal driving when you add a lift, but they’ll still hit the fender liner when you hit bumps and/or turn the wheel. I explain lift kits and tire clearance here, check it out. A lot of the principles in this video still apply to Tacomas and 4Runners since their suspension geometry is super similar kzread.info/dash/bejne/imRqp9F8m7zff9I.html And yes, tire size is what causes problems, you can fit almost any wheel size stock as long as it’s not super wide.
