The Tundra Build

Lifted Adventures

Adventurist
So i bought the Tundra planning on doing an overland build.. Here are the pictures and progress so far after one year ..

I have two rules when building a truck

1. everything need to be functional with minimal impact to the truck ( cutting, drilling new holes, etc..)
2. aesthetics are optional but you need to be happy with what you drive and how it looks...

so here we go in stock form: base model with a few options ( tow package, safety & convenience package, and OEM Nav...)

Tundra 1

Ichanged out the grill, handles, bumper ends to get rid of the chrome and also debadged the whole truck

Tundra 2

i then did the suspension and wheels and tires next

tC UCA
rear shocks

then i got the truck bed liner done to prepare for the bed rack..

My sliders came and got them coated to keep them as durable as possible even though i know the bottoms will be beat to hell..

Then i started work on spare tire options and bed rack options .. and came up with these ..Wilco prerunner gate and Leitner designs rack

right side

finally was able to have a local fabricator build a battery box mounted in the spare tire well using the bumper bolt holes and bolts for mounting.. he also built the stainless steel tray in the engine bay for the compressor, relay, switch pro, fuse block

mounted the switchpro controller in the coin tray area that was not being used and mounted the relay switch also in a similar area closer to the dash

Love the idea of the battery box. Are there any worries about exposure with the batteries there?

Under the hood looks really clean. Is the main battery under the stainless? How's the access to it and the fuse box?
 
Nice looking truck. Can you take a picture of the slider attachment to frame? The all pro website provides no detail.

Not worried about the batteries being exposed as long as I'm not in salt water than I will be fine..

The battery is under the stainless and the stainless is attached to the chassis with 6 bolts that once removed the entire plate can be moved to the side and access to the fuse box can be had... all but 1 bolt are using existing holes in the body as well.
 
I see that you had two different rear bumpers... What was the reason you choose one over the other??? Nice looking Tundra, just ordered a 2020 today!!
