I really do love mine. With all the space behind the front seats it’s pretty practical too.

Ever since I put the stoptech rotors and pads on my truck it’s been shaking like crazy. After chasing my tail a bit on it I finally decided I must have got wrapped rotors from the jump. Pulled the trigger on hawk rotors and pads last week and got them on today. SHAKING IS GONE!!!!

Waiting “patiently” to hear back on these guys!
Are those fox? What year are they from? I have a first gen Sequoia and believe our chassis are the same......

Nice work on the rear axles.
Those are from a third gen tundra TRD pro. I don’t thing this would fit a first gen sequoia, maybe a second. I’d look into dobinson IMS, they seem to be a solid suspension.

Installed my AIP bypass kit from Hewitt Tech this week. In the process of installing the AIP bypass I damaged the sensors and my truck went into limp mode, so I had to order the PSO kit for both banks from Hewitt. The bypass kit it's self was really nice, but a pain to install just because of the location of everything. Took me a few hours taking my time.

The kit
How is this working out ?

AIP bypass has been great. No lift just stock TRD pro height, wheels have a bit of off set so the tires clear no problem.

Slather a little waterproof grease over those battery terminals and it will keep the corrosion at bay.

Changed my oil, removed an exhaust heat shield that was rattling, swapped out the original spare for one that matches, and installed my ABS sensor extension on my rear axle (needed for the TRD pro suspension).

RCI aluminum skids installed today. Covers all the way back to the T Case. Waiting on the gas tank skid to show up.

Finished up a few projects this weekend. Installed my rear diff breather kit and worked out my cruise control install. Really happy to have cruise for up coming trips. Did run into one little problem…the mounting point for my rear gas tank strap is cracked . I hooked a ratchet strap to the frame to reinforce it for now and installed a new front strap. Not really sure how I’ll sort this one out yet.

There is something about the regular cabs that's just kinda cool in a Tundra.
Yep I agree. I’ve got a DC but always thought a second tundra that was a single cab would be a great truck. Love the build. Keep it up!
