Here is a intro video to my 1st Gen Tundra Prerunner Build Series. In this video I show where the build is at now, and the current parts that I am running. I also explain my future plans for the truck. The next part of the build series (part 1) will be the installation of a Camburg Long Tavel Kit, so stay tuned!

I have mine in all white with a high rise canopy, leveling kit, some pretty aggressive tires I forgot what size but man I love the thing I try to keep care of it as best as I can although it used to be stored in a garage and now it stays outside which I’d rather have it in a dry spot but beggers can’t be choosers

I want to replace the radio/cd player, but my speakers are all shot so I need to replace those first or do it all at once, I guess. How hard is it to do the speakers yourself? Or would it be worth it to have someone else do it for me? I wouldn’t be adding a subwoofer or anything.

@RickG13 6 жыл бұрын

Mike French any issues on the transmission or anywhere else that may come up from 285/70/17s ? Is that to the point to where o would need to re gear anything because of the extra weight of the tires and wheels?

@mikefrench316 6 жыл бұрын

Rick Guell- I ran the 285/70/17's for 6 years and had no issues with the drive terrain. Toyota builds their trucks very well, so the 285 tire does not necessarily require any modifications to the drive terrain (like re-gearing). If you plan to do any real offroading (like driving in sand ect.) Then you should get an aftermarket trans cooler with a fan. I would say that re-gearing the rear end is only essential if you run a 35inch tire. I haven't re-geared mine yet, but I will before I do any crazy offroading.
