after a few busy years, (marriage, couple kids, stuff like that), I am finally getting back into really paying attention to my 2000 Tundra SR5 4wd. It has a few issues but after 140k the engine and tranny are still top notch. I am going to document the work I do and am very open to criticism and suggestions. Right now the only mods I have done include an Eaton LSD in the rear and I had a gibson cat back but it wasn't stainless and only lasted a few years. My current project is upgrading the suspension. I also had 1 crossmember and the rear leaf spring brackets rottes out so those are being replaced. On the shopping list,
1. Replacement brackets and crossmember
2. Deaver 10 pack leaf springs
3. Bilstein 5100's all around
4. Performance brake lines to allow for the lift in the back and an upgrade on the front.
5. 1 1/4 poly lift block for above the 5100 in the front. This will allow for me to get the lift I want without fully maxing the 5100.
6. T.C. Steering rack bushings
7. Rebuilt steering rack from steeringrack.com
8. Downey HD sway bar links
9. 1" lift blocks for the rear leafs to give me 2" in the rear total
10. 1" dif drop from Wheelers, ordered a bunch of stuff from them. Seem like good guys to deal with.
All this should get me back on the road and then later this summer I would like to add Camburg UCA's and replace the entire exhaust, headers, high flow cats, y, and dual's out the back. A brake rebuild for front and rear is also in the near future. It is memorial day weekend, I have 3 days off and had a buddy come up for the 3 days to help and unfortunately the only parts that made it here in time were the front 5100's. So I am writing this post to help kill the time untill some parts come in. I am going insane waiting.
Here are some pics so far.
