Default Project traction

Let's face it, the Tundra has an issue with getting the power down to the terra. It's really no surprise with the power it has stock, never mind the supercharger (which is really the catalyst for me to find something as I'll be installing te TRD SC in the coming weeks). As most know, traction devices for the rear differential are non existent. Calls have been made, and if we are very lucky something MIGHT come along in about a year... Too long for me.

Soooo, what to do? Well, Toyota has already solved it for us... maybe. The Tundra is based on the 200 series Land Cruiser which comes with an AWD/full time transfer case (the Sequoia also has a version). This 200 series case may bolt into the Tundra with minor complications... GAME ON! I have a unit on the way.

Hmmmm, 500 hp and AWD going through a lockable Torsen center differential with 40/60 front to rear torque split...

Additionally, maneuvering this beast in tight places while in 4WD will be easier. For instance, while plowing the truck frequenty runs on and off previously cleared or dry pavement, this causes wind up and the inevitable bind/ tire dragging and larger turning radius.

Thoughts good and bad welcome....
