2016 Toyota Tundra Multi Phase Build

[Keith McAlister]

Nice ride with the continuing upgrades CFT.

King Shocks finally built and arrived for my 2017 Gray Ghost which is going UP literally starting on May 24th. Having a barn built literally as we speak for gear storage space and spot to park an Off Road trailer that will be a not to distant future purchase.

@Keith McAlister Nice!! What trailer are you leaning towards?

@Keith McAlister Nice!! What trailer are you leaning towards?

Kinda open ended right now. Wife likes the Hiker Trailer as do I so if we were pushed right now, high probability it would be Hiker. There are other trailers that have my interest and some although nice are still a bit pricey. Mostly focused on getting my Tundra closer to what I want and maybe next year the Trailer will be the focus.

Wife and I are likely retiring next year and we have lots of trip ideas across the US and Canada so a good trailer set up is going to come in handy. Even more so with our time being our own.

Awesome built! @CFTAdventures

4 inch lift. King shocks all the way around but King sent wrong shocks. Using factory coilovers on front and Pro Comp on rear while King builds new front and rear adjustable shocks. Next up, modify under bed spare for 35 tire and eventually swing gate spare on bumper and then 35 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers or BFG KM3's all the way around.

Looks good! I have heard some great reviews on the KM3s, I think that will be my next choice on tires when I switch out.

Your Tundra is looking good Keith.

Your Tundra is looking good Keith.

Thanks. Myself, an FJ and Jeep ran Blue Ridge WMA starting at Nimblewill, Cooper Creek WMA/Duncan Ridge, Wolf Creek and Helton Creek where to our absolute shock we saw a Tesla off road. That was a first. We got in 50 plus miles off road and to my delight, the highway ride to and from was just as good as the factory ride was. The Kings should be just as good on highway but be something else off road.

You will never look back after buying the Tundra! DO IT!!

@xtrmoverland it’s a great starting platform! The 5.7 alone makes it worth it lol

 

[CFTAdventures]

Decided to get some new wheels for the truck. Saw these at expo west and couldn’t stop thinking about them! Should have them on the truck next week with a few upgrades to the electrical system as well!

Upcoming Mods:
REDARC BCDC 40amp solar ready charger
BLUE SEA M2 controller.

Will be at Mid Atlantic Overland Festival next week!

Yes, you will not be disappointed. I have yet to find a negative that outweighs the positives of going to the full size Tundra. The power of the 5.7 will make you giddy like a schoolgirl for years to come.

Who's cap did you get?

Got the truck back today, news wheels are on the truck! I really like the color and style with the look of the truck. Put on a new set of Nitto Ridge Graplers in 37s, was going to try the BFG KM3 but they don’t make them in a 37x12.5R20.

Also had the REDARC BC/DC controller installed will keep updates on how well it maintains the House batteries. Running the REDARC in tandem with the national Luna isolator I was previously running as well as the dual battery controller/Monitor for the Cab. The Blue Sea M2 controller was also installed and gives the whole electrical set up in the rear a much cleaner and user friendly experience.

 

[darthyota]

all blue sea stuff?

 

[CFTAdventures]

@darthyota the M2 controller, 2 circuit breakers, Fuse box and all the USB and 12 volt plugs are blue sea.

The switch panel is some random amazon find

 

[xtrmoverland]

All: got me self me own Tundra, the overland build starts then the adventure begins...

 

[CFTAdventures]

@xtrmoverland great choice!! Look forward to the build!
