Decided to start a build log, just so I can keep track of everything. The name of the title is from my wife she said that this forum has been a bad influence on me. She doesn't under stand tearing into a brand new truck.

On the chopping block stock from the dealership is a '12 Tundra CM 5.7L FlexFuel 4X4. Upgraded from '07 Tundra DC 2X4. Got the CM since kid is on the way and wanted easier access to the rear for car seat.

What the T-Force has:
TForce rims Tforce running boards

Got a couple more things done this week/end.

Got the exhaust on the truck, Didnt go with the cat backsystem, Instead went with 2 Magnaflow mufflers stood up next to each other with 3" dumps (turndowns).

Also did the powerlock on the tailgate. Will get some pics posted hopefully soon.

Nice truck Man!

 

[yotaforce]

Thank you for the comments. Thank you all for your suggestions and help on doing all these mods.

Just got back from a 2000 mile road trip. MPG's went from 13.5 to 15.4 after install of muffler setup. Very impressed will be throwing in a K&N drop in filter next since it is time for her first oil change. Still trying to get to my buddies shop so I can get some better pics of the exhaust. Truck mods are on hold for now since wife needs a new fridge. After the 1st of the year I shall restart.

Any idea the offset of the wheels ?

 

[TroyHaas]

I'm jealous of your wheels. Can I have them? :drool:

 

[yotaforce]

Thanks, that was the main selling point of the truck for me. That is what drew my eye to the truck and that everything was all black.

I got same size wheels and tires on mine.. I was reading another post from you and you stated that after teh ready lift 3' lift you had rub problems? I guess I was thinking when I get my LRO 3/1 I would have no issues... Just wondering how much rub you had and where you ahd to shave down

Honestly I have shaved anything down yet. The rub is minor and it is just the skid plate. Only need to trim about a 1/2" off, not to concerned since it only rubs at full lock out on the rack and pinon. I try not to fully lock it since this truck has the issue with the R&P blowing seals. Also since the suspension has settled I haven't noticed the rubbing. Hope this helps.

Wheels are too tucked in.

 

[USNADrs]

What does removing the charcoal filter do?I've seen guys on here talk about it and have always wondered.

 

[yotaforce]

Wheels are too tucked in.

Agreed. I want to have them out some more but dont want to run spacers. Once I am through these tires then I will look into a different set of rims and tires.

The charcoal filter delete gives the engine more air from what I have read. It is really simple to do, only took about 5 minutes.

Got some new goodies ordered.

New grill is on order should be here end of this week or next week.

Tow mirrors should be here today.

Ordered train horn should be here next week.

Smoked the taillights. Once everything is installed will post some pics.

Oh yea. Installed carseat base, should be getting the new arrival on Thursday 3/7.

I have a carbon fiber toyota logo if anyone is interested in it.

 

[yotaforce]

Got Tow Mirrors installed today.



Got them from AM Auto off Ebay 222.95 shipped to door and only took 1 day to get them. Everything works running lights, turn signals, power windows, and defrost.

I would bet most just pull that plastic plug out of the door and rely on the three bolts to hold it.

That is very possible. But I not the type to half a$$ things. Figured its there for a reason and only took about 2 minutes to drill each hole.

 

[yotaforce]

Heres some updated pics of smoked tail lens.



Still waiting on grille, been back ordered since Jan, and train horn to come in.
