@tasmanmcmillan1777 Год назад

It's quite interesting to me, I live in Australia and work on hilux's & land cruisers. The tundra seems to be exactly the same as a hilux, just a wider body. Definitely a rookie mistake not putting WD40 over everything a few days before starting. It's all coming apart quite easily compared to what I'm used to.

@williamgauthier8460 Год назад

I'm a Toyota tech from Québec, I just wanted to let you guys know that we have to cut lower control arms for replacement on ALL taco or tundra that's more than 5 years old lmao. And if they're coming for an alignement, 90% of the time we can't do the camber or caster since the bolts are seized in the bushing lmao so we usually suggest getting new arms... Welcome to the salty North!

@allmotormike1 Год назад

On the LCA nuts/bolt - one of my engineers once told me while I was stuck on an axle nut that I needed FORCE + SHOCK. (that's why impact guns are so efficient. lots of shock) So I put a large breaker bar plus an additional cheater tube onto the nut, once I got a lot of force on to it, I had a second person smack the end of the socket side of the breaker bar with a mallet. And just like that, the nut broke lose. Thought this insight might help with further project. Keep up the awesome work.

After watching you guys using the boltbuster on Moose’s car back in the day, I bought it shortly after doing the same job. Such a lifesaver. Always a pleasure watching it in action because it’s so damn cool and satisfying!

I feel this one. Right on time too. I’m currently working up the motivation to go out and work on my 20 yr old f150. Luckily your video is getting my mind in the game so by the time it’s done I’ll be ready to get to work lol. The rust up here in Massachusetts is crazy. I salute you, sirs.

@FormedAndFunctioned Год назад

I literally just completed replacing my lower control arms on my ‘13 Tacoma. Although not rusty, I knew beforehand that those cam bolts are notorious for seizing inside the bushing. So I had replacements and saved the time and just went straight to the saw. Saved a lot of time and swearing especially when working on just jack stands

@StockWRX Год назад

Yes! I’m always happy to see you guys update us about your tundra! I bought my 2013 tundra crew max this year. Your videos on the truck got me liking the tundra enough to where I bought one.

@mr-toyota Год назад

Main reason I ended up buying my tundra was off this guy as well.

Since you guys do alot of towing I would highly recommend replacing the rear leaf springs with new heavy duty leaf packs. I did this on my Tundra and it really improved ride quality while towing and unloaded. General Spring offers new leafs at reasonable prices

@charleswolfe3395 Год назад

@anydaynow01 Год назад

I would hit as many areas as I could under there with some por15 or eastwood rust converter to give it a few more years. New trucks are so expensive, it's to the point where I think I can rust proof and replace every wear item (including the engine and trans) on my 1999 Z71 Silverado with about 500k km on it and still be in the green versus buying a new one. This is such awesome content, keep it coming!

And... thanks for documenting this, I have a feeling this video will come in handy when I have to replace everything on my '07 Tundra.

@applebitefool Год назад

The super duty pads are great. I live in northern Canads as well and did a similar overhaul on our 2500 Suburban that has 240 000km.Also dis a complete suspension rebuild with Bilstein and got a bodyshop to remove all the undercarriage rust. Cost me around 10 Cad to get another solid 10-12 years out of this tank.

@themikeyfrisco Год назад

I have the Eibach Pro 1 coilovers on my my 2013 Tundra and love them. Best way to level it while retaining good ride quality & handling. Also running Camburg rear shackles with the matching Eibach shocks in the rear. Overall adds up to a really nice budget setup .

@staceyweston9694 Год назад

From northern Indiana, pretty much the exact same experience I had with the lower arms in my 2011 Tacoma except I was working on jack stands. 😳 Ended up with the sawzall on the bolts, oddly enough, mostly on the passenger side as well. There is some serious evil that goes on inside those lower arm mounts. I actually chuckled the first time I saw you with the sawzall in hand. I kinda figured you would get there eventually. 😂 Anyway, great video, I was watching because I'm probably adding a Tundra to the garage sometime this year. Thanks for taking the time to put this together...

@alpha2gproject783 Год назад

I've been there. Changed the control arms on my truck over the summer and after 3-4 hours of struggling with the lower bolts...I just gave up, got the torch, a saw and cut the arm bit by bit. First lobbed off the main body of it, then cut the bolts on both sides of the arm mounts and used a air hammer to push the remaining bolts out.

@christowles559 Год назад

I love this truck. It was my inspiration to put bronze wheels on my 07 as yours was the best looking slate metallic I’d seen w those bronze te37s. I’m about to install the Eibach stage 1 kit in my truck, hoping mine isn’t quite as rusty. Those are nice Eibach blocks, I didn’t realize they made them, I’ll have to look into them. There are clearance problems with running shackles and sone exhaust systems if you do the full 2.75/1 lift. and you need to do aftermarket ucas and dif and Carrier bearing drop if you go much over a 2” level, so your keeping stock ride height is a smart move, especially for towing. Good work boys!
