Default Truck Done, New Pics

I did a few unique things to my tundra, so I though I would share some photos and details...

The front bumper is from Expedition One Expedition One Off-Road Equipment, according to James at exp-one, mine is the third one they have made. I'm not sure what everyone is waiting for, the quality is superb, the fit is excellent, and I'm really happy with how it looks on the truck.

The front lights are supper ralley 800 HID's, the center is a 135watt hallogen. The winch is a 9,500lb superwinch with synthetic rope.




I wanted a spot in the back to mount a high-lift jack, shovel, antennas, lighting, and weather instruments. I used a wilderness rack and mounted it to a Lazer Lite tonneau cover. The cover is very strong and can hold more than 1000 pounds. The entire setup is very sturdy, you can easily climb on the rack and there's lots of area to tie down gear. The entire thing lifts up, however I still need to switch the gas lift assists with stronger ones to compensate for the weight of the cage rack.

The pictures didn't do the rack justice, in person it's really rugged looking and gives the rear of the truck a purposefull look. It barely blocks rear visibility at all and dosen't whistle in the wind like racks mounted to the roof's of suv's do.






On the rack is a mount for a shovel and ax, a 60" high lift jack (I store the heavy base and lifting mechanism in the bed). Reverse lighting (side lighting is yet to be installed). The antennas are for a scanner, mobile broadband card, and xm radio. The black cylynder is a davis vantage pro weather station. There is also an anemometer witch raises up and down with a switch in the center console.





The scanner is a gps enabled uniden which is mounted in the center console with a remote head mounted under the climate controls. The center console also has the davis weather panel which is linked to the tablet pc. The tablet pc uses a broadband wireless card, runs google earth with GPS tracking, Interfaces with the weather station, and is linked to a front camera and two side view cameras. The tablet is touchscreen, however there is also a mini bluetooth mouse and keyboard which can be used instead.

Not seen in the photos is an integrated cobra radar detector with GPS support which warns you of known speed cameras.

I must applaud the trundra for an amazing amount of space in that center console and underneith it (once removed) as well. This setup took a ton of wires and control boxes, but it all fit easily.













Here it is next to my wifes full size Mercedes GL450 sport utility. The tundra makes it look small!




I also added TRD dual exaust, the TRD big brake kit, and a rear sway bar. Yet to be installed is a set of deaver 11pack rear leaf springs.

The lift is camburg front coil-overs with upper control arms, diff drop and a 1" block with OME springs in the back. Wheels are 20" KMC monsters with Mickey Thompson 35"x12.5" ATZ's.
