Just got back home from a trip that included 4 days in Death Valley. Drove Hannapah canyon, Cottonwood canyon, Echo canyon and Hole in the Wall. The new, all stock, 2019 tundra TRD did very well everywhere.
@@anthonywaynegrover Thanks for the Reply....I'm planning on some new tires myself but I have less than 5K on my Pro right now. Don't want to go too aggressive ....maybe a Hybrid at most but some say the stock Michelins do pretty good.
I took a stock (minus 20” BFG KO2s) crew max 18 tundra 4x4 on black bear and then ran it back up bridal veil falls to show capability of upward climb around tight switch backs. Did it in 4HI to boot. With right driver, these big land yachts can go some ridiculous places. Surprised a Jeep club coming off black bear, with one fella asking “how the F did you do that?” 🤣
Great video. Thanks a ton for your thoughts here. Driving a new Tundra Plat now.....and really struggling with my decision on which suspension I should start with. Im probably still too nervous for rock crawling.....but I sure wish I could eliminate most of the washboards at in Anza....
Just get an sr5 4x4 and upgrade as you please. Unlike other TRD models, the tundra TRD just includes some 4600 series bilstein shocks, decals and skid plates. No crawl control, or locker found on other TRD models. You can make your sr5 4x4 a "TRD" with a few hundred dollars, vs thousands as sold to you by Toyota...
"She's a big Girl ! ! !" My list would be 1. 3-6 inch lift 2. 33-38 offroad tires 3. Lockers front and rear 4. Re gearing of front and rear differentials 411-588 5. Skid plates, Front and rear differentials, transmission, transfer case and oil Pan. 6. Full length sliders from front fender to rear quarter panel. 7. New bumpers front and rear with a front mounted winch rated for over the gross vehicle weight. 8. Safety equipment such as a roll cage, fire extinguishers, 5 point seatbelts, first aid kit, Suspension seats, Air filtration system. 9. Lighting for night runs 10. That new bank account that you should of started up before doing all this. so when you destroy this rig or break something you can throw your money away again and start all over!!! Ps. It doesn't matter what order you accomplish this in because a rig is never done.
+Robbyota 559 it’s a good list but savage! Front lockers on IFS? Might be asking for trouble. Lol. Thanks for watching. If I’m in a situation where I need a front locker, I probably didn’t belong there in the first place. IMO.
+Jaylen Alexander hey Jaylen. It’s Independent Front Suspension (IFS). Having a locker with IFS puts a lot of strain on those components and will lead to something snapping if your not careful. IMO, I wouldn’t chance it.
Tundra4x4. Club Wow. I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing. The reason I asked and subscribe is because I plan on building a overland tundra. Its Ben a favorite of mines for a while and based on the overlanding videos I’ve seen. Toyota’s( Tacoma, Tundra, Land cruiser ) are the only one that can compete with jeeps. I didn’t know anything about IFS and lockers. So thanks for that perspective brother. I def want front and rear lockers for added measure for my family Incase. Might go with A Rubicon if there is no way around that. Or maybe I’m being paranoid, lol, I don’t know.
@@Tundra4x4Club , I always enjoy watching your videos, I am always learn something new. I guess I take things to the extreme or just like building them once and being done. As far as a front locker goes on IFS I agree it's a little extreme, however I always suggest a front locker before the rear. you will be amazed what it can pull you over instead of pushing you around and over. if you really need to crawl a lot of people forget about upgrading their transfer case or upgrading to transfer cases especially on tundras There are double up systems out there or even triple transfer cases. th-cam.com/video/kYWyJoV2o6U/w-d-xo.html
+P Cer there are a lot of great trucks out there right now. But I’d love to see another Tundra owner. Toyota reliability is seriously top notch. I’m glad this video helped. Thanks for watching.
On my last trk (04' Nissan Titan) I also removed the rear overload leaf and installed the Deaver mini pak...was VERY pleased with it on and off road. Cool vid, thank you.
Great video! What are ur thoughts on the tundra 8-foot long bed? Will that length make off-roading more difficult ? I like the massive size of those trucks, plus I might buy one of those 4 wheel campers, grand by. Thanks fir the feedback.
I was at Icon's Garage sale on picked up 5 Icon Rims ( Great Discount ), Rears for $200 and ordered front reservoirs( Part number 58750) with a Great Discount sadly 6 weeks before delivery. I was going to go Bilstein just as you have but couldn't pass this up. Reviews to follow. Appreciate all Your Videos 2017 Tundra 4x4 Off Road Pkg.
What size wheel and tire setup do you have? I have a similar setup and with Bilsteins and wanna order the Nfab bumper. Just need the right tires. I have 20” wheels
Great video! Thinking of doing the same setup with 6112/5160. I have a set of wheels already. Just trying to decide what size KO2 tires to go with. Stock vs something bigger for 18” wheels
Great video. I have 2017 1794 edition 4 1/2 BDS , Coiled Over Fox in front and 2.0 Fox in rear Nitro Ride Grappler tires 33/12/10. Am planning on upgrading to Coiled Over to the rear and a complete leaf pack. What can do to help with bed bouncing?. And what is the best bump stops can I use ?. Thanks
As to your Frankenstein system, if you’re going to replace the fronts, would t you want to also replace the rears so you can do an apples to apples comparison? Otherwise you’d have a completely different and brand new system up front and a 2 year old system in the rear. Just my thoughts.
I tried that with a Nissan titan and it was no good of road the toyota tundra did it better off road for me. Nissan titan get stock every where while the toyota tundra is just going
+Matt Niedermiller head over to Instagram and hit up @tundra452 let him know you saw the video. He fabricated these units and sells them. He does fantastic work. I too ran into the same issue when I was looking for one. Good luck.
+kailey carr what lift in the front? 4x4 yes? You should be able to. I only activated my air locker for fun, I didn’t really need it. You do want at least 2.5 inch of lift in front for approach angle.
Thanks . I do have the same Bilstiens up front 6112 (set to highest level 2.7) the 5160 in rear and 305/55./20 ' cooper sst pros all around. I started with aSR5 TRD sport . it does have the TRD sway Bars in front and back . Do you recommend removing the rear before 4 wheeling ?
+kailey carr definitely. I actually don’t run a sway bar front or back. Love it. Big difference off road. The 20’s scare me a bit. Airing down to 20 psi is highly recommended. With 20’s you won’t have as much protection on the side walls.
@@Tundra4x4Club So after done 4 wheeling I would put the sway bars back on for better street ride? It's my daily driver also. Thanks for the advice on the copper set pressures.
+kailey carr yea, you could. Or try rolling around without for a few days. It’s a personal preference really. They effect body roll, so the truck would have increased body roll around a turn or making a quick movement. The rear is easy take on and off. The front however can be a pain.
+Deon Baker not necessarily. We had a Two wheel drive Tundra with us last year in Sedona. He had mods like rear diff locker that made it possible to participate in 98% of what the 4x4’s did. All depends on the mods.
I used to have a 2014 SR5 2wd, and I have learned that 2wd is far more capable than a lot of people give credit for.

Awesome clip man. Tell us what you think of the kings 2.5 with click adjusters..
Oh no! I hit like button and I'm not in to off roading! What will happen to me?! Do Frakenschtein schystem.
Well NOW you've done it...You'll probably have to buy a 4runner, Taco or Tundra and be free to roam Earth...Just suck it up, you did this to yourself.
GREAT VIDEO !!! KEEP EM COMING !!!

Yes do the fox 2.5 or the kings please I'd like to see how your truck does before I change mine I'm also running ur same shock setup.
Great video. Gives me good ideas. Do the Frankenstein
Been looking for a stock trd pro wheeling vid but the one you linked to is private! Any chance you can share the vid with me?

Thanks
I thought Toyota's A-Trac was suppose to work almost as good as a locker?
NOTHING can equal or surpass a selectable locker....A-Trac is a good system, but a locker gives greater capability...
As to your Frankenstein system, if you’re going to replace the fronts, would t you want to also replace the rears so you can do an apples to apples comparison?
Otherwise you’d have a completely different and brand new system up front and a 2 year old system in the rear.

+Danan Coleman that’s a good point. I’m going to have to think about options. Thanks for your comment.
Great video!!! 👍👍👍👍👍😎
+Philip Kapsis Thanks Philip, i appreciate the feedback.
Is a 7” Lift too extreme for the trip you made where its only Jeep capable?
+Miguel Montanez my only concern would be scraping the bushes. Other than that you should be ok.
The video of the stock Tundra off roaring is blocked, it says it’s privet. Is there any to view it? Could you give me the name of his channel?
I did not recall you talking about the Camburg UCA's, were they worth it and worth the cost?
Hey man, what happened to the channel? Looks like you haven’t uploaded in over a year.
What bumper is that
N-fab RSP
I tried that with a Nissan titan and it was no good of road the toyota tundra did it better off road for me. Nissan titan get stock every where while the toyota tundra is just going

Do you use the resonator on your dirty deeds exhaust? Why or why not? Just expecting one soon and I know you have had it for awhile.
So hey I have a 2007 tundra 4.7 2wd. If I put a rear locker, would it be good??
YES! It won't completely compensate for having only 2wd, but your "get out of trouble" capability will definitely increase...

Oh, you mid travel guys are adorable!
