Just completed the reverse shackle kit and disk brake conversion. The complete drive train has been upgraded. The front bumper is in powder coating now, soon she will get a fresh coat of paint and the LS conversion. upload_2018-7-27_23-9-3.jpegand the tundra shortly after a quick make over. Originally had it on 33” tires as shown in the pic. Found I needed a little more clearance and upgraded from the leaving kit to the 4.5 lift and 35” tires. upload_2018-7-27_23-20-12.jpegNow I wait for orders to arrive.

love the Scout. My wife would love to find one as a project rig cant wait to see what you do with both of them
Thanks, the scout is pretty fun to drive. It will be headed to anything scout in Indiana in the near future to complete the restoration and do the LS swap. She will be my main overland rig when it's done.

The Tundra looks so much better on the new lift and tires. Love the old scouts because my dad had one for his hunting rig.Cant wait to see it completed.

Glad to see more Tundras on here!! Great start! 37s will be calling out to you!
Maybe one of these days, I'm pretty happy with the 35" though. I see you got the storm trooper front bumper, I'm a little jealous. That one I'm waiting on. As well as there dual swing away rear bumper. The Tundra is a great truck. I hope we get more out there also.

Here’s mine:

Oh, and here’s a nifty little trick. Instead of the ESP $200 plastic tubs, just DIY it!,

Well, I bought it, built it and now I’m selling it. I love The tundra but reality hit me. The gas mileage is horrible, And it’s huge! Good thing is, I still have another tundra. But this one is on the market for the right price. I’m headed to buy a 4 runner.

So... I changed my mind. I would never get my money back anyway. Added these Baja design lights the other day. Super bright! Cool functions with the switch pro set up as well.
