1st gen Tundra overaland build/walkaround

Here's a tour of my 2001 v6 RWD tundra, I know I eventually need to get a v8 4x4 tundra but for now I gotta make do with what I got. Let me know if you have any questions about my rig. Glad to help

Not to bash on your build at all but if I were you I’d consider looking into a 4WD version of the same truck. Other than that everything you’ve done is legit. It’s a nice truck. Just gotta be careful when the rainy season comes around and you’re out in the woods. Two wheel drive is a headache when you get stuck. Sometimes a winch isn’t enough. Glad to see someone with a bible in their truck! Cheers man

[@01Trdtundra]

Thanks bro I know 4x4 is the way but for now until I get my career setup I have to stay with this 2wd 😔

​@@01Trdtundra my guess is that this is a prerunner style build and those are typically 2wd. Nice job building this out 👊😎👍

[@greym6436]

1st gen tundras are some of the best trucks imo! I’ve been building & restoring my 02’ with new components over the past few years. -You have a nice truck build

[@01Trdtundra]

They really are, if you have Instagram add me same as my KZbin channel so I can see your build progress, eventually I want to get this exact truck just w/the v8 engine and the 4x4 drivetrain and plan on keeping that thing for life if it goes out just gonna buy a new engine 🤣

[@jasonjohnson9403]

friggin sweet!! I would love to have a rig like that.

[@01Trdtundra]

thank you, just takes time little by little and you really don't need the top of the line suspension and etc just something to get you out and see what you need vs what you want

[@ThisOldYota]

Nice rig big guy Enjoyed the walk around

[@01Trdtundra]

Thank you ✌️

[@intheworkscamp-inrv1147]

For securing the tailgate area , I recommend you to construct a hard mesh lifting gate that hinges to your truck bed rack like a camper shell lifting door where you can see through the mesh , and as the same time , you can also secure all your belonging in the bed of your pickup . Yet , it looks cool too depends on the quality of material and design of your DYI . Design so that it looks like part of your roof tent rack . Think of it when you need to go somewhere to get supplies , anything valuable in the back of your pickup is prone to theft .

[@01Trdtundra]

I’ll have to give that some thought it sounds like a really good idea, thanks 🙌✌️

[@scottymac5174]

Your truck is looking really nice! I have done just about the same build on my 04.

[@01Trdtundra]

Gotta rep the first gen 🔥

[@DR-ge8hp]

Nice bro! I have a 2003 Nissan Xterra Supercharged. I put that Coastal Offroad bumper on it and TBH, its insane! I welded it myself and it was my first ever welding project. It looks sooooo good! Did you powder coat it? I used spray on bedliner for mine. I'm running the Faulken Wildpeak AT4s that just came out. Great tires.

[@01Trdtundra]

I just spray painted it with rustoluem 2x Matt black, I was gonna do powder coat but too expensive and the bedliner I didn't think about till after, Im also excited to try the at4s, the at3s so far have been great, good traction, quite, and somewhat aggressive

[@austinporter9102]

I have the V8 4wd SR5. This is pretty much my dream build for it. I can’t wait until I can start modding and upgrading it. only downside is it would be hard to do a blackout with it, because it is that weird silvery almost beige color that they had at the time. But either way, love the truck, man!

[@01Trdtundra]

You have the dream drivetrain😢, I’m really thinking about selling this truck and getting a white v8 4x4 but I just fell in love with this truck

[@asome32]

beautiful car. enjoyed the video :) a more stiff suspension can remove the need for a sway bar. try to not recommend removing sway bars for stock suspension

[@TheLotroNerd]

Glad to hear no sway bar needed!

[@heismyrefuge1027]

It’s not bad around town at lower speeds but gets sketchy on the highway. If you had to swerve to avoid something and brake could roll the vehicle.

[@TheLotroNerd]

@@heismyrefuge1027 you have a 1st gen tundra? most toyota drivers dont use it. so long as they have upgraded springs.

[@01Trdtundra]

Yeah many people espically 3rd gen tacos and a lot of modern Toyota overlanders or pre runners take off their sway bars to get more flex and comfort ideally would be better for a sway bar disconnect but

[@treehouseoffroad]

Lookin good homie 🤘

[@01Trdtundra]

Thank you ✌️

[@TheLotroNerd]

Can you do a video on painting the trim peices! looking to do mine soon!

[@01Trdtundra]

I can try

[@CGGarage]

Sick truck. I know you have a 2WD, but maybe consider SAS'ing your truck to make it 4x4? Just an idea. It's a lot of work, but dude check into it. Nice truck again.

[@01Trdtundra]

Defiantly on the lookout for a 4x4 ac thought about sas but that seems like too much work and I want the power and sound of a v8 🤣

[@Lurkoffroad]

Sick build yo !

[@01Trdtundra]

Lurkkkkk thanks bro might have a surprise in the works

[@seanfitzpatrick3583]

What’s up dude dope build question where did you get your headlight assembly from been looking for one for my 05 SR5 access cab V8

[@01Trdtundra]

I’m not sure I understand your question, but I have the smoked out headlights through eBay and the led light is from Amazon by a company called Novsight

[@JamesTheAutoBroker]

Where did you get the headlights

[@austinharris37]

Do you have links to your mods? I love this build and I’m about to pick up a first gen and I wanna get the same bumper, bed rack and tent you have!

[@01Trdtundra]

Thanks man would love to see more first gen’s out there Bumper: www.coastaloffroad.com/product-page/1st-gen-tundra-high-clearance-front-bumper-kit/ Rack: rcimetalworks.com/product/universal-bed-rack/ Tent: cascadiatents.com/collections/tents/products/pioneer-series?variant=41188498931844 I couldn’t find my exact rtt but it’s a close second

[@mohammedmiah3641]

can you link the front bumper please

[@01Trdtundra]

[@Am22347]

Is it safe to remove entire sway bar? And does it affect anything else?

[@01Trdtundra]

Many people say it is sketchy because if you make a sudden swerve on the highway you could flip but to me it feels the same as before but off-road it feels way better, and many overlanders and pre runners take off the sway bars

[@Edzel2.0]

What brand is your front bumper?

[@01Trdtundra]

Coastal off-road, its the high clearance w/grill tubing

[@joseceja8908]

how much you going to want for your rims?

[@01Trdtundra]

Want to sell the whole truck not just the wheels

[@DocHolliday3841]

"V6, 2WD" Mistakes were made

[@01Trdtundra]

BIG mistakes were made, even bigger mistakes when I started watching videos about off-roading and overloading

[@TheLotroNerd]

You dont need the solo lower. thats to save ur cv and ur 2wd so you dont have a cv!

[@TheLotroNerd]

might affect turning. and you wont have a lower ball joint but oem ones arnt that expensive! just did mine

[@01Trdtundra]

@@TheLotroNerd👍, was looking at the solo just because to get more travel and it pushes the wheel forward 1 inch forward and allows you to fit bigger tires easier
