    Wheels spacers

    Besides the weak point at the wheel this also creates problems with not having your wheels in the wheel well. The further you push them out the more mud dirt and rocks you will start to throw around. Best to keep those wheels tucked in for everyone’s safety.

    Bed rail system

    That’s strange that there was no rail system. As far as I know if comes on all Toyota Trucks. I’m sure you could pick one up of a pick a parts location on a older totaled Tundra.

    RIP 2015 Tundra

    Everyone was safe it was a relatively small accident. The guy from the body shop said it was just a crazy coincidence that it hit in just the right spot to sheer the frame rail on the front right side. We were traveling at 25MPH and someone pulled out In front of us. No air bags went off on...

    RIP 2015 Tundra

    Sad News as my 2015 Toyota Tundra I built out was in an accident which caused Frame damage. It’s sad to lose a rig that has taken you so far. My youngest took is especially hard.
