First gen Tundra. Best truck on the road. 👍👌🤘
They are pretty damn solid. I love the 2UZ-FE engine.
Good to see a clean Tundra getting this attention and these sick mods.
Yes! Tundras need Sic Mods too!
Man, I tell ya what guys: Any 1st gen Tundra owner who buys & installs this kit themselves after learning how to do it here, should not only donate enough to "buy you a beer".........they should donate enough to buy 4 ribeye steaks and a whole case of beer, lol. You fella's deserve it. Because it would cost a small fortune to pay some shop to do this. Really nice kit though, and great job guys!!!
I like the way you think. Yes, our video will make somebody's install of this kit way easier since we documented it so well. It was very labor intensive for us film and edit. We call projects like these MONSTERS due to the level of work we have to put forth to make it happen.
Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it!
I bet the documentation of every step onto video is every bit as labor intensive as the project itself, if not more so!@@TimmyTheToolman
@@howabouthetruth2157 Jobs easily take 1.5 to double the time when we film, not to mention the video editing which is a beast all unto itself.
Yeah, that's what I figured. You guys are a national treasure to the classic Toyota community. @@TimmyTheToolman
@@howabouthetruth2157 Thanks!
Great work. Interesting to see how similar Toyotas of similar ages are. I have the handbrake cables running along the springs and the same proportioning valve (plus plenty else). The hardest step here seemed to be the lower shock mounts. The rest seemed to be plug and play (mostly). I enjoyed this like your other vids. I'll never do this mod, but it helps to understand my Toyota so big thanks and well done!
It might seem plug and play because of the video we made for people to use, but it was anything but straightforward. Just getting the bed off and figuring out what to settle it down on took some figuring out. This took us 2 days to complete, and it was the nost involved suspension lift Sean and I have installed.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy Wrenching!
I don’t even have a tundra, just watching cuz I love learning from these guys.
Thanks for watching Israel.
That’s a sick mod!!! Love the 1st Gen Tundra. Great work guys!! Well done.
It does very much qualify as a Sic Mod.
Amazing job 👍. I just don’t know if this is a good longevity option. I want the new springs without chopping up the structural members of the rear frame. I guess there’s no much thing!
Thanks. There's nothing wrong with what we cut out because the replacement is even stronger. It all depends if you want to do all the work.
Amazing work!!
Thanks! We appreciate the compliment.
Wonderful and beautiful work thank you
Thanks for the compliment, and you're very welcome.
Great video! You and Sean are good friends. Always good to help an Olympian! I bet he didn’t kneel during the National Anthem.
Glad you like the video, and yes, Sean and I are good friends. I guarantee my friend Don stood proud with his hand over his heart when the National Anthem was played. He's not one of these woke idiots that want to shit all over the country they live in like that moron soccer player Megan Rapinoe. I know of many people who were actually rooting for the U.S. to lose because of all the woke political BS coming from her and other teammates of hers. I'm also glad they are out of the World Cup.
Amazing work and great video tutorial..I have the same exact truck thank you
Thanks for the compliment Paul. You're very welcome.
Badass kit. Frame rivets suck. Great job.
Def a nice kit, lots of work, but all worth it in the end!
- Sean
Awesome 😎😎😎👍
Thanks!
I just bought a 05’ DC 4x4 and I want to say thank you for taking the time to do this video. It will save me hours of headache and curse words. I would like to know if this mod will work with normal lift kits like a 6” RCD lift and is it worth it performance wise..? Again thank you!
First of all, you're very welcome. Secondly, I would ask the owner of Archive Garage your suspension question. I think he would be better suited to answer your question.
Will do thank you!
"Good job shawn your not as dumb as you look."😂😂😂😂
Oh, you caught that line? We like to have fun with our commentary when making videos. Thanks for noticing.
Caught me off guard to be honest lol
Love it! Haha😂 Humor makes these vids even better!
@@israelrodriguez6986 We try to throw a little humor in each video. Sometimes it doesn't make the final cut though.
See my other comment first. I mentioned 4 steaks......but only 3 of you guys did this job. I guess the 4th steak can go to the first guy to crash your bbq, lol.
I quite often have a big appetite. Maybe I'll eat the 4th.
Hell yeah man. You've got a body like mine, no worries of "becoming overweight". You can eat that 4th steak and dessert to boot, lol. @@TimmyTheToolman
@@howabouthetruth2157 Well, it's getting harder to keep the weight off as I get older. I'm not as active as I use to be.
Hilarious “guuudentite!”
That's right! We love the German Spec of Gudentite!
Oh man i caught a glimpse of the spring maker tag and thot it was Alcan custom springs from Grand Junction Colorado... I was mistaken when i looked closer 8^(
I like Grand Junction. There's great mountain biking there and in nearby Fruita.
I wonder if Alcan has an easier kit?
Curious if there was an alternative Higher location to add the shock mount?
Seems like if you are going to move them you should move them above axel bottom.
I am novice, so sorry if that question was ridiculous.
I appreciate any info.
Moving them above the axle would severely limit the amount of suspension travel. I'm guessing your comment comes from the shock mount hanging down low and being able to strike rocks while 4wheeling.
@@TimmyTheToolman yes that is my question.
Thanks for answering I appreciate!!
@@TimmyTheToolman am I wrong thinking about it or am I thinking too far out of possible problems?
@RyaMarshall You are right to think the shock mount could take a hit from a rock, but the shock mounts are close to the wheels and they are less likely to take a rock strike compared to the low hanging pumpkin of the rear axle. If you're 4wheeling correctly, you have your tires traveling over the top of obstacles so your rear axle isn't slamming into them. I hope that makes sense. Do shock mounts sometimes take hits? Yes, they do, and it's why some companies sell protective plaea that bolt on to protect the lower part of the shock.
@@TimmyTheToolman It makes total sense thanks your the answers. I am considering taking on a tundra and and giving it the upgrades and your two videos are OUTSTANDING!
What does all this cost install, parts etc?? Just curious
Don't know the total cost. You can look up the cost of all the parts via the links we provide in the video description to figure it out.
How much would you charge to install this kit for a fellow SoCal resident? Lol
I never want to install that kit again. It's a lot of work.
@@TimmyTheToolmanis there any other option from another manufacturer with less chopping to do?
@@ClimbAClassic I don't know. I haven't done any research on it.
👍
Thanks for the thumbs up of approval.
Do you know anyone local to you or a shop that could install this?
The only shop I can think of is Yota1 Performance in Riverbank. It's near Modesto.
@@TimmyTheToolman awesome, thank you!
@@brantschenkrealtor You're welcome.
Shawn catching strays 😭
How does he like the ride quality now?
He likes it, but he really hasn't tested off-road as far as I know.
@@TimmyTheToolmanhello again. Would this mod cause axel warp?
@@kilogolfmike8095 I think you meant to say axle wrap. Axle housing don't warp. An axle housing could bend though from a hard impact, like from an accident. Axle wrap happens when the leaf springs are worn out and the axle housing twists on a stop and then become unsprung when you ease up off the brakes.
@@TimmyTheToolman yes that’s what I meant. So you’re saying that this would not cause this problem having the shocks symmetrical vs how Toyota had it from factory?
@@kilogolfmike8095 No, the shocks being relocated won't cause axle wrap.
Curious what length are the rear 2.0 fox shocks?
Not sure. You can probably figure it out by going the FOX website.
How much lift did he get?
Archive Garage advertises it as 2 inches of lift but it gives the rear end 12 inches of travel. So, much greater articulation when off-roading.
Did ya watch the entire video? Because Tim verbally stated how much total suspension travel this kit provided: 12 inches. If I'm not mistaken, "lift" is a body-on-frame term, that only raises the body up off the frame more, to clear bigger tires. When running over high sand dunes, whoopty-do's, and other jumps.........it's increased suspension travel that ya need.
@howabouthetruth2157 i qas looking for the overall rear lift from the rear springs, as I have a set of archive garage rear springs and I need 4" of lift. So, it looks like I'll need a 2" block
Oh, ok. Besides, I stand corrected anyway, because these custom suspension kits do provide overall lift. A body lift only raises the body off the frame. @@tombakas7318
New 5 gal buckets wouldn’t hold the bed, the food grade ones might
I don't agree with your assessment. A 5 gallon bucket could easily support my weight, and I'm 175 pounds. That truck bed isn't that heavy. 4 regular 5 gallon buckets could support the bed.
@@TimmyTheToolman I’m 350 and it won’t hold me up
@@cheeseburger9232 That's a lot of cheese on that burger.
Four 5 gal buckets turned upside down will easily support the weight of that bed. We use empty 5 gal buckets upside down to stand on while doing certain jobs in construction all the time. Been doing it for decades. And some of my work buddies weigh a little north of 200 lbs. That truck bed doesn't weigh anywhere close to "800+ lbs". I bet it's only half that, give or take.
