dyogim's 00 tundra build

Great score Mike! I have been debating the purchase of a Bedslide for a while. Looks very cool and functional too!

It will definitely help load/unload gear into the bed. To minimize the need for containers and maximize the use of wasted space, the bed slide will be a perfect platform to add storage/drawers. My biggest complaint is having to lug everything out to setup camp. Hopefully, I can create my perfect setup while keeping the budget low.

Did you use a superlift truspeed or similar to recalibrate for your 4.56's and 35s? I'm wondering mostly for getting the transmission o shift at the right time and place rather than having the speedo read perfectly. Or was it close enough to stock that you left it alone?

I'm running 4.88's. I never bothered with the recalibration. It was close enough to stock and I got use to the speedo being off a couple miles.

Been lagging on the maintenance. However, here's what I have to work with. Just picked up 4 Bilstein 5150's, got 4 moog driveshaft ujoints, a transfer case and install my 3rd into the spare housing.

Got my 5150's swapped in (5100's swapped out) and installed my rebuilt rear diff with a fresh new set of 4.88 gears and bearings.

Looks great. Gonna get shorter bolts for those lower rear shock mounts?

Most definitely. It's all the grade 8 bolts I had in the garage. With it being 1am when I finished, the local hardware store wasn't open.

The 5150s have a significantly longer stroke I assume?

Same as the 5100's, 12"

Barely used Detroit TrueTrac. Time to prepare for a front end rebuild; new ball joints, inner/outer wheel bearings and seals.

Removed my rear axle to start the process of removing all the components and install them into the cleaner/painted housing.

When I removed the center section, this is what fell out:

I was like, "Crap, not this again!!!? After removing the detroit locker and disassembling it, further inspection shows more damage. The other 4 bolts left in the case backed out or broke.

Now to look for something else, ARB or a 14 bolt full float...

 

[seanpistol]

14 bolt!

 

[dyogim]

Purchased the ARB air locker (RD129). Should be delivered tomorrow. I'll see about having installed as well.

14 bolt axle is not in the budget.

Hey. Word on the street is that all double cab tundra came with 4.10 gears??
