00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:20.160
the

2
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:21.930
the

3
00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:25.830
this two thousand and twelve toyota tundra

4
00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:28.470
has a new look and new capabilities

5
00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:31.140
this is what it looked like before

6
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:34.260
a favorable purchase price allowed me to

7
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:36.420
spend the additional dollars on making this

8
00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.870
tundra my ultimate mountain hunting and everyday

9
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:40.590
driving rig

10
00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:44.250
this tundra has a few scars scratches

11
00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:47.130
and front right bumper damage more than

12
00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:49.710
once previously i wished i had strong

13
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:52.170
bumpers for tricky trails so the first

14
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:54.810
thing i did was opted to install

15
00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:57.510
fab four's red steel front and rear

16
00:00:57.510 --> 00:00:59.640
bumpers i was drawn to the two

17
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.410
piece style on this red steel

18
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:03.600
bumper which allowed me to have a

19
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.450
strong winch ready unit secured to the

20
00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:09.870
frame and essentially slide the face bumper

21
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:13.350
over sharp body lines the pre-run or

22
00:01:13.355 --> 00:01:16.440
guard and fog light locations made this

23
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.480
addition for the front bumper an easy

24
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.390
decision the rear bumper has straight lines

25
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.310
and is deeper than the stock bumper

26
00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:25.590
which allows for easy foot placement when

27
00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:28.110
climbing into the bed a rough country

28
00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:30.570
twelve thousand lb pro series winch fit

29
00:01:30.570 --> 00:01:33.420
perfectly behind the red steel bumper once

30
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.250
verifying the new shocks were needed for

31
00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:37.470
this tundra i opted for the rough

32
00:01:37.470 --> 00:01:39.870
country two inch leveling kit which are

33
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:41.610
shipped as loaded struts

34
00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:43.530
this allowed me to not deal with

35
00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:46.320
the dangers of spring compression and focus

36
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:48.240
on changing out the worn coil overs

37
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.490
for these with the added benefit of

38
00:01:50.490 --> 00:01:51.930
a two inch level in the front

39
00:01:52.440 --> 00:01:54.180
i elected to change the front and

40
00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:55.830
the rear at the same time and

41
00:01:55.830 --> 00:01:57.390
was able to complete the task in

42
00:01:57.390 --> 00:01:58.110
my garage

43
00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:03.720
this tangible mainly c gravel and mountain

44
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:05.790
roads but at times will be driven

45
00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:07.650
on the highway i wanted to stay

46
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.290
away from loud humming mud terrains but

47
00:02:10.290 --> 00:02:12.450
i also wanted an aggressive tire that

48
00:02:12.450 --> 00:02:14.580
could get me through some sketchy situations

49
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.890
i found the perfect mix of that

50
00:02:16.890 --> 00:02:19.350
with the nexon roedean eighty x

51
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.410
all-terrain tire since the rough country leveling

52
00:02:22.410 --> 00:02:23.820
kit gave me more space in the

53
00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:25.650
front of the truck i opted for

54
00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:28.110
larger tires and went with the ten

55
00:02:28.110 --> 00:02:31.740
ply roedean atx sized at two seventy

56
00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:35.100
five seventy eighteen i mounted these on

57
00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:38.160
rock tricks rt one oh five five

58
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:39.600
split wheels the

59
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:41.070
his wheels gave me a more aggressive

60
00:02:41.070 --> 00:02:43.110
offset and position of the wheels and

61
00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:45.720
tires perfectly under the rough country pocket

62
00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.360
fender flares once the wheels and tires

63
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.850
were mounted and complimented the black fender

64
00:02:50.850 --> 00:02:53.850
flares i loved the stance height and

65
00:02:53.850 --> 00:02:56.850
look of the tundra i spent significant

66
00:02:56.850 --> 00:02:59.699
time sanding priming and painting the front

67
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:01.830
grill surround to match the black toyota

68
00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:04.950
pro grill insert new light options in

69
00:03:04.950 --> 00:03:07.530
the front and rear rough country a

70
00:03:07.530 --> 00:03:09.900
l to drop steps and some time

71
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:13.110
spent sanding and rolling on new bedliner

72
00:03:13.110 --> 00:03:16.320
finished out the exterior upgrades i was

73
00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:17.790
able to find a set of cat

74
00:03:17.790 --> 00:03:19.920
skins leather seat covers online

75
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:22.710
if that were compatible with aftermarket seat

76
00:03:22.710 --> 00:03:25.590
heaters and added a tablet carplay head

77
00:03:25.590 --> 00:03:27.540
unit with simple backup camera

78
00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:32.220
often times it pays to be patient

79
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.830
when searching for a vehicle i'm thrilled

80
00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:36.990
