Right on. Thanks for the encouragement my friend! I definitely enjoy working on them. This is the best truck made hands down. Glad to hear you enjoy my videos. Definitely more to come on the Tundra and the rest of my fleet. I appreciate the comments and the support Cheers👍
I just wanted to thank you for your video! I’m 63 and I just got my 06 Tundra. I’m still not all that current with searching for affordable aftermarket reliable parts and I really appreciate your input and advice! Thanks 😊
You are certainly welcome. I have lots of videos on the Tundra, my current 00 and my old 04. Aside from the transmission and the intake, the 04 and 06 are very similar. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have , if I know the answer I'm always happy to help. Enjoy that new truck . I appreciate you supporting my channel!
Thanks for the video. Super helpful because I think I'll be tackling this job within the next year or so. Been looking at the options out there and the Truetrac seems to be the way to go. Budget friendly and from what I've seen there aren't really many downsides on a mostly street-driven truck.
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful. I looked a several options and decided this was my best choice for the same reasons you mentioned. I've put over 1000 miles on it so far and you don't even know it's there on the street. And when it does lock up its smooth and immediate even on dry pavement. I'm very happy with the choice and install was smooth. I definitely recommend the TruTrac. Thanks so much for watching and commenting and supporting my channel.
@Funjunkie Garage how helpful is it during mild off roading? I have a stock 2wd 03 and and looking for something that will give me a lil extra traction. My stock dif just spins on anything loose, naturally the lack of weight over the back tires don't help any.
This unit will be a great benefit with mild offroading. Extra traction is always a plus. As long as at least 1 rear wheel is on the ground you'll have traction. Not real expensive and easy to install. It engages seamlessly. I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great day.
I got my locker and install kit from Just Differentials. They had the best price (just $10.00 less on the locker) and their customer service great, I've bought many things from them. Here is the link to the locker justdifferentials.com/toyota-8-4-30-spline-eaton-truetrac-limited-slip-differential.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwue6hBhBVEiwA9YTx8BjvwTPnhH9f0nqLAI20QHza2guyJ4D3HlZnTxg5IUcE6e4pzXBFDhoC_aYQAvD_BwE Here is the install kit link justdifferentials.com/toyota-8-4-nitro-rear-bearing-kit.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwue6hBhBVEiwA9YTx8ONwGLpha5bTO_Kit-ufwU169mpvLO6m0-nyc8IU7n3Dh8anFiGP6BoCAFMQAvD_BwE A bit more expensive now. I got mine over a year ago and just installed it. I love it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day.
Oswald is a good supervisor until he gets side tracked with a box or getting his ball out of the wheel. Guess if he hasn't learned by now he's not going to. 😄
These are great trucks. I've got a lot of Tundra videos on my channel if you want to check them out. You're welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I had to watch this video again. Love Oswald in the background with the tires(ha ha). Could you please tell me about why you mounted your rear air bags where you did. I just got a new set of first Gen leaf springs and a used air bag kit from an F150(with upper and lower mounts).
Oswald is a hoot for sure. I have the Firestone ride rite bags in the rear. I located them according to the instructions. On my 08 Tundra they mounted directly over the axle tube. But the brackets for the 1st gen dictate that it fit just forward of the axle. Hope this answers your question. Thanks brother. I appreciate ya.
if one wanted to change the 3.90 gear to 4.11 because of larger tires while one was in there - which part is needed to be changed? ring and pinion gear?
Yes, the ring and pinion would need changed. Or find a factory 4.10 set of diffs. That's a fairly common gear ratio. I actually have a set I want to put in my Tundra. But am considering 4.30 instead. Thanks for the question. And thanks for watching.
