It "won't" be getting any real mods done to it. It's 2wd
I'm gonna look into it to see what it would really take to make happen. I'd be down to do it though.Let me know when you want help with the 4wd swap. lol
Looks like a 4wd swap would require a new transmission as well. That part sucks. Probably not to hard to find since the 05/06 Tundra's share a trans with the Tacoma's,FJ's,4th Gens, etc. It uses a A750F trans. I think I know someone with one of those laying around....
ahem @Hank...
Damn!!! I am late to the party I started!!! I am trying to find an 05-06 double cab. I recently found out that the Sequoias has 2nd row captains seats, that just happen to bolt into the rear of these trucks... I want to build a real legit comfy daily truck with rear center console!!!Just picked this up on Saturday. '05 Tundra Double Cab w/ 147k miles on it. It "won't" be getting any real mods done to it. It's 2wd, which isn't ideal but I didn't want to spend the extra on purchase price and insurance costs. It's also going to be my wife's daily driver, but I'll use it for towing the 4runner to the desert.
Only things that I'll probably do are new tires and maybe lift the front a little to level it out. I'm thinking about getting some 255/85R16 Cooper S/T Maxx tires for it. The back bumper has a pretty good dent in it, so I'll keep an eye out for a stock replacement. Also needs a head unit since it's still got the stock stereo. I'll probably just pick up something cheap that has USB and Bluetooth capabilities.

Wheelers offroad add a leaf is what I used on my truck for the rear lift, Left the stock overload leaf in though because I have a bedrack, tent, and camping gear.My friend has an 02 single cab 5spd 2wd long be tundra, that hurt my thumb. He would like a mild lift, for looks and better ride. I suggest 5100’s, but don’t know much about leafs. So my lazy ass is asking what y’all recommend? What else would y’all suggest to help a tundra drive nicer? I get the basic stuff(shocks, bushings etc) anything tundra specific that isn’t obvious?
Looks good. Custom or WIY kit?
All them shocks and no hydro bumps?here is a 1st gen i just finished recently
LOL well the owner was trying to keep the cost down... we will be adding them soon...All them shocks and no hydro bumps?
What's another $600 in bumps at that point? Pretty sick cantilever setup on it though. I've though about doing something like that down the line but I have no room for anything but through the floor. Someday I'll have nice shocks like that....LOL well the owner was trying to keep the cost down... we will be adding them soon...
we took it from stock to that in 6 weeks.. it was about 12k in parts ..
