05 tundra into a pre runner

[/IMG]

Nice so far. Are you thinking long travel suspension? Upper control arms, lower control arms, real pricey shocks, bump stops, limit straps, spindle gussets, fiberglass fenders, custom bumper, and that's just the front! Don't let me spend for you! When you get into it, one thing leads to another real quick. You will need fiberglass fenders to clear the long travel, and with the fender flares you have, it just wont look right having those flares on the bed, you either will have to pop them off and fill the holes or get a fiberglass kit for the bed too. And then there is the caging, and fabricating the tube frame to mount the long travel rear shocks, different springs, HMMMMMMMM!

What are you really after, a functional pre runner, or just something with pre runner looks? It looks like you are already tipped a bit to the back, the Southern California Lean. It isn't popular here, but my truck does it too. If you want, check out the socaltundras site, they have a few long travel tundra's there that are double cab like yours.

SCT is the bomb.

Don't think about the look. A functional prerunner doesn't need to look the part...there are some sleepers out there that will give a lot of glassed trucks a run for their money.

Talk to some shops about carving out your wheel wells to fit a 35" tire. Also note that with a long travel kit, the top of the inner fender is in the way, with a 35" tire...so you're looking at moving some things in the engine compartment, to accommodate that tire, if you choose to run it. Otherwise, 33" will get you around just fine.

Budget 10-12K$ for suspension and body work. 5K$ for the front (arms, coilovers, bumps), 1500-2K for glass and paint, ~5K$ for the rear axle and suspension, and you will be getting there. You'll still need to cage the truck, and a few other things...but you'll have a good starting point with the suspension and body work.

You have a 2WD, so get the Camburg "race kit" for the front. That'll be a hit on the wallet, so get the parts, install them yourself, and come back when you're ready to spend again.

BTW, you're talking about digging a very, very deep money pit. You may want to consider something mild, and buying an older, already built, prerunner.

SoCalTundras.com definitely has the prerunner thing down.

Jensen's double cab race truck.

Ian's clean 4x4 prerunner

rear roll pan (with custom lights maybe)
deaver leaf packs , or add a leaf with shock
