Wow I've never seen this build before, really nice looking truck!! :drool::drool: I love that color, what color is it? I've never seen it before, and I just went to the Toyota website and 'built' a Tundra, but that color wasn't available. There was only a darker blue called "Nautical Blue Metallic" that looks way to dark to be that color.
EDIT: wait, is it the same Speedway Blue that's available on the Tacomas?

I'm not looking forward to the car wash tab! Probably in for $30 to get it clean again... The Duratrac's did quite well in the mud - the larger tread blocks clear pretty good, I didn't notice the tires getting glazed over like my co-workers. I love Duratrac's - I run them on my 4Runner as well and even have a studded winter set for the Tundra. For the wide range of driving conditions I encounter they work well!
Thanks! I never had plans to modify it so much but then again, I can't really leave any of my vehicles stock.
Thanks! It sure treats me well!
It's the Blue Streak from Toyota - and I think 2010 was the last year that they had them available. I love this blue - I am a black / blue guy so I fell in love with this truck immediately. Knock off all the chrome and I couldn't be happier!

Sweet truck
I love the look of a standard cap PU. If I'm ever lucky enough to get one, that would be exactly what I'd do. Good looking truck for sure. BTW: It's supposed to look that good muddy.
Just wish I could get my truck that dirty.

Thanks for the compliment - the Tundra is a champ and takes whatever I throw at it.
Here are some pictures of the light bar output:

Thanks! That V8 power is pretty ridiculous - so much get up and go, I can't imagine what it would be like with a supercharger on it!
The Tundra is undergoing a complete suspension overhaul - front Fox coilovers are being rebuilt with new shafts, the rear shocks were replaced with 12" Fox remote reservoir stem-eye mount and I also tossed a set of Camburg 1.5" lift rear shackles. Unfortunately I had to limp it in to the garage a few months ago as the air injection pump has gone - at least it's still on warranty. I hope to get my coilovers back soon and then the Tundra back in running order.

Turns out the issue with the Tundra starting / idling is due to the URD MAF calibrator which was messing with the output signal enough to cause rough idle, stalling and inability to start again. Lovely time.
The vehicle still threw a AIP code during all of my troubleshooting and so I am still concerned about it... just hoping it doesn't fail at an importune moment.
Finally got the front coilovers rebuilt, the UCA bushings replaced, the rear shocks replaced, the rear leaf hangers installed, oil and filter changed, front and rear diff fluids changed, transfer case changed, transmission fluid drained and filled, intake cleaned, MAF cleaned, air filter cleaned, driveshafts lubed, rear diff breather installed... along with cleaned up some wiring in the engine bay. Here are a couple 'flexy' pictures on the snow pile out front

Thanks! I have to keep reminding myself that it's a pretty stellar ride too - the 4Runner gets most of my love these days.

Well, it's the end of this chapter. The Tundra was sold on Sunday May 8th and headed South to Louisiana.
It will be dearly missed but priorities change. Perhaps this will result in an adventure trailer for the 4Runner to tow. Then again, I still need to get progress made on the V8 swap... Always something to do!

I loved it. Great utility, quality was top notch and when the window cracked due to the cold weather the customer service came through too. Great product and experience all around - I would definitely recommend.
