  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Full Size Tundra Build with DIY Solutions

    My truck converts from off road rig to daily driver in 10 minutes. I built a 4 point hoist that lifts each corner and the rack/tent/awning/cargo tray goes on or off as a unit without breaking a sweat. KB Voodoo designed their racks to be compatible with tonneau covers and it is a complete game...

    Well finally, 37’s! I chose Toyo’s newer Open Country R/T Trails. Love the looks and solid reviews. To my eye the proportions finally look right. Someday I will upgrade the suspension, but for now the truck has Westcott’s 3” lift up front and 2” in the rear with OME 2866 springs.

    300 miles of dirt from North Idaho through the mountains to Polebridge MT and the very edge of Glacier National Park. The last shot shows my 270 freestanding awning with 2 poles down as it was blowing about 15-20mph for about an hour before sunset. I love off roading in this truck! That’s my...

    I have been on a journey to figure out good springs for my DD/off road build. The coil air bags I installed popped, then put in OME 2864’s and while a great lift very stiff for my load. Today I put in progressive OME 2866’s and I think I found my sweet spot. On my initial drive the rear is more...

    I purchased a CBI Stealth Winch Bumper and was excited to get this installed, off roading without a winch feels a little too vulnerable to me.

    I had the plates cut and welded by a local guy and I added a knob to tighten down the set up so it doesn’t rattle on the trail. I also added safety bolts that limit how far out the mount can extend, and push buttons as redundant lock

    Telescoping awning mount for use with an iKamper. I made a full DIY thread as well linked HERE I am working on adding a 270 awning to my rack that has an iKamper. The challenge is that an iKamper shell HEAVES out to the drivers side on its hinges as it opens to the passenger side. So one can’t...

    Installed a heritage pro grille as it offers an easy mounting point for a light bar. I went with Diode Dynamic’s amber set up. 3rd Gen Tundras have gone fancy to a CANBUS system so I had to order a canbus interface trigger system which only takes a couple days to ship from England I believe...

    Installed 3 gallon Rotopax’s onto my KB Voodoo rack, which come ready with Rotopax mounting hole patterns that makes the install a breeze. Again DM me for a discount if you want as they are the best racks on the market. Between the Modular add-ons like the gear lockers, bike racks, cargo tray...

    Here are some more photos of the area light mounts, the 12 pin connector that powers the rack, how the power panel and air compressor configuration looks, the KB Voodoo tonneau cover bracket location, tent power, and my slide-based camping solutions. 12 Pin connector, allows to me quickly...

    Doesn’t look like much but it is time consuming. Lights, and the wiring of them. I use cheap rock lights for my camp lights because…well they are cheap and I just need rugged water proof lights. That braided cord goes to the 12 pin plug I installed previously. Link to the rock lights I use for...

    I opted for KB Voodoo’s ProMax Modular rack and added the lockers. I am very excited about the extra storage for recovery gear and tools that free up bin space on the cargo rack. I’ve got discounts available if you are thinking about KB Voodoo racks or bed bars, just send me a message Large...

    Half bed slide is done! It’s 22.5” wide, 63” long, and the drawer height is only 1.25” above the bed so my Dometic 75DZ still has almost inch of clearance under the cover. There’s a pull handle and the bar in front of it depresses to release the locks while stowed or fully extended out. It’s...

    My next project is more off road gear related than directly TUNDRA related, but it will go into the truck. There are a number of bed slides on the market but my problem with them is they span the entire width of the bed. Plus they tend to eat up or 3 so inches of vertical height. Plus you can’t...
