New Member & New Build ('21 TRD Pro)

New member here. I bought a used Tundra last year with existing mods but quickly realized I wanted to start a new build on a new Tundra from scratch. I settled on the last of a generation, the 2021 TRD Pro, and picked it up at the beginning of this year.

I began following this community from afar last year, absorbing some of the best ideas of other builds I've seen y'all do and added a few ideas of my own. With the supply chain craziness it's taken most of this year to complete but it's finally done as of this week.

There are a lot of great ideas in this community so thank you to anybody who has shared any insights on their build!

 

Welcome and beautiful truck! Nicely done!

 

Welcome! Awesome rig

 

looking good !

 

Nailed it. Sweet rig.
Welcome to the forum.

 

FIFY
The mods are never “done”

and welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Welcome! You certainly put in some work already.

 

Can you still open your gullwing when your tent is opened and the ladder is deployed?

And what is your suspension set up?

 

Yes, I can, although the gullwing can't open fully since it extends upward at an angle, but it can still be opened and rest against the underside of the tent when opened. As for suspension:

• 3” Elka Suspension Front & Rear Kit – 2.5 DC Res. Kit
• Icon RXT Leaf Pack w/ Add in Leaf & U Bolts
• Element Chromoly Uniball UCA
• Coachbuilder OE steering kit
• Chaos Cam Tab Gusset Kit & Spindle Gussets

Since my last post I've realized my Tundra is way too heavy for the Icon's in the rear so I'm having to add an air lift air bag kit and cradle in back with 3" Coachbuilder Shackles.

 

Very nice looking truck !

 

Beautiful rig!!! I love it!! Do you have a mods listing sheet? Would love to see what different components you've gone with! MOAR pictures! LOL

How did you source the SmartCap?

Wow, awesome rig! Hope you're liking the Slimline II cab rack, I'm getting mine soon but I have a 2nd gen.

 

Where u at in north Texas? Any good shop that did the work?

 

Deaver makes a great pack thatll hold that weight. It’s not listed but we use it on the old man’s rig.

 

Tough lookin Truck!

You using front diff spacers or Drive shaft spacers to correct any angles?

I'm lookin to run option #3 on the ICON RXT Leafs, about how much weight you got in the back?

 

I want to hear the top 10 lol

 

I don't want to hurt any feelings but your build will be in the top three when you switch over those lights.
Best,
Brandon

 

LOL I do need to pick your brain on the XL linkable kit. I have idea I haven't seen on our platform.

 

Shoot me a dm and we can chat.

 

Welcome! Badass truck!
