TUNDRA - Prepared Daily / Adventure Rig - Bumpers, Lights, Winch, Etc - PHASE 2

[@Jay-ff8gf]

Big yes on a radio walk through and the whole electrical system I love your technical rants

[@BlazeOffRoad]

We are excited for that video too!

[@hankf616]

The new barn doors are looking awesome.

[@jasperqualls6872]

Between you, Talon, and MarineX. Yall sold me on the Diamondback and I couldn't be more happy with it!! Such an upgrade.

[@GluteusMaximus21]

How does all this effect the factory warranty?

[@jasperqualls6872]

​@BiornBear the Diamondback cover shouldn't affect a factory warranty at all.

[@erikmay8982]

Ready for the electric install vid. The longer videos are good. Keep them coming.

[@jfisher360]

Truck looks tough af!

[@JOEFACE4216]

Im excited for the comms and electronics set up !!

[@_onthemike_]

Im a Ford guy but I love this build. Very interested in the electrical setup with dual batteries. Especially appreciate the comms. I have the ftm400, wouxon kg1000G+ for gmrs right now on my f150 but I want to add the 891 with the ATAS. How often are you on HF? Would be cool to make a radio contact with you.

[@mattm3331]

Back to the long videos!!!! Love them!

[@WeiseGuy91]

Hoping you make an Amazon Store category for your Tundra now too to match the Tacoma one you have.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Sweet doors and cool truck. I'm more a fan of the Gen 2 Double Cab, but that looks cool as well...

[@OfficialAing]

Such a good build! 🔥🔥

[@CFoxtrot25]

I dont know if they have one yet for the newest Tundra, but check out Huracan Fab. They're out of Austrailia and make storage compartments that turn your tailgate into a usable space for little things. The lids are flat too like you're wanting.

[@AKOGR]

Great look Mike I love the Way it looks! Can you do a video about EDC and interior build stuff like the Ham/comms stuff etc? Great vid as always!

[@illucidmare13]

Looking forward to your radio setup video!

[@WeiseGuy91]

Wait how do you get to the bin in the bed that's right behind the cab when you have the diamondback on? Especially when you added the cross bars and the FSR tent? Oh at 39:20 you said you can't use that bin at all now and it's not even accessible. Ouch

[@michaelleon4232]

Garage Doors are beautiful! You’ve done well!

[@DonaldFletcher-y5e]

Thanks for the videos! I'm looking at the Tundra for my next rig. Currently in an '04 ram long bed 5.9, with a cab over that I built back in 2002. Also run a contractor style high top camper shell for a light summer option. Also have a Big Foot roof top tent, haven't used it much, might try it on a custom dog box believe it or not. Anyway 'ol girl's got a few miles on her and I'm going lighter for my next rig. Had a '92 single cab yota back in the day, indestructible! Not sure if I'd be happy with the size and hp in the Tacoma's even though they're super cool! Your Tundra looks great man. I like the daily driver/prep mentality. Front looks nice and tough. I'm with you on the roof rack, I'm ready to start nerding out on comm's...let's get it!!!

[@Eric-lj2nk]

Barn doors look awesome! And I’m also team bins for camp gear lol.

[@RichardAcosta-s2m]

Billie bars makes a great tailgate cover they use marine grade foam as well as optional cup holders. You can even customize them with your name or logo

[@skvirk2669]

Nice set up, especially the lower rack with box tent looks better the than the high one.

[@geminij610]

Wow that was fast!! Looks great!! Garage doors look better.

[@michaelclark8910]

Wood look doors look great!

[@SamanthaHAgastin]

Bed Decked problem solved. Add Pelican cases and pull out the case or drawer. 🎉

[@noahpuukila9429]

What lights are better for ditch lights and front fogs? Looking to buy some for my vehicle. Also rooftop lightbar? I saw your HF portable set up (please make a video on that) but what UHF/VHF are you using inside the vehicle? What handhelds are you using to pair with your truck UHF/VHF radio? (I like the VX-6 for durability/reliability)

[@samlewis6314]

this looks so good

[@bourbonbrigade]

Tundra is looking sick!!!

[@NL1T3N]

Mike, Truck is looking awesome. I was one of the votes for the matching garage doors. I think it looks really good and classy. I know you liked the black ones, but you sound like you’re not a fan of the matching.

[@ClimbAClassic]

Are the uptop bars you have mounted on Yakima tracks on diamondback cover a prototype? Their website is very confusing - they don’t describe any mounting options they have.

[@GluteusMaximus21]

How does all this effect the warranty?

[@VanWo]

After having the yakima bars, front runner, and up top... which is your favorite for daily use + tent for weekend trips? No intention of mounting a bunch of other accessories on the outside.

[@NL1T3N]

Def interested in coms and the garmin dash cam. Been looking at the wolfbox but don’t like the strap around. I have been studying for my ham and have some baofeng radios. So def interested

[@daltonenger9627]

Would you ever consider a bed slide system to help access the rest of the bed when you can't flip up either end of the DB cover?

[@lucacadianalbert]

dude I would LOVE a hinging (or pivoting) cross bar system for my DB. I've seen one guy who build one on Tacomaworld and it looked AWESOME!! he could open both the front and back panels with the RTT still on.

[@kodastacoma3898]

Damn them doors look so good.

[@rickgifford42]

You're new shoo doors are awesome!

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

Is that a pretty big gap at the tailgate to the bumper??

[@Cadithial]

Any reason you didn't run ditch light antenna extensions off of your ditch light brackets rather than add another bracket in for your antennas?

[@joestuart2316]

I’m interested in your radio setup and your ham journey

[@27danike]

Those headlights are so sick

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

The dilldozer😂😂😂

[@brendansullivan148]

What bins are you using? Do you have a preference?

[@dan_dul]

Yes please make comms video please!!

[@jesseweyher2409]

Hey dude, have you noticed any changes to adaptive cruise control with the sensor being at a different angle? I read somewhere someone said it would throw false alarms because of it picking up the ground, say backing out of a driveway with an incline. What’s your experience been? Really keen on this bumper.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

no issues for me so far.

[@overlandpup4507]

Now thatbyou don't really have a day job i would love to see you do some longer trips. Weekenderlander is cool but sprinkle in some aspirational trips too. Invlude the kids. I have a 2 yo and a 0 yo at home as well.

[@mgn9]

The man said the previous video that the truck will be setup as a daily pavement only truck... The truck looks like its ready for the apocalypse LMFAOOO

[@LastLineOfDefense]

There's never been a time when the words "pavement only" have come out of my mouth when referring to literally any of my vehicles.

[@mikelewis6965]

It looks great especially those wheels 🙌 Did you also put a full size spare tire 35 fit under the bed? How do you like the Ironman suspension so far as a daily drive? Does it give a nice plush feeling?

[@leorojas4662]

What wheel size are you running Mike?

[@Jack-vn1nl]

Thanks for the FSR discount code. I used it a couple weeks ago to get an rtt

[@seanmcdevitt1052]

Any issues with steel bumpers rusting over years?

[@rlaracue]

Big question. What is the phase 2 MPG?

[@Lordofthepoors]

9 mpg lol

[@LastLineOfDefense]

13-14 on the computer so probably 15-16

[@rlaracue]

@@LastLineOfDefense Thx. I can say my 1794 on 35s with a 3" lift is showing 14 mpg and I tested it manually with fill ups and mileage tracking. The Tundra showed 14.1 and my calculation showed 13.9. So the computer is probably correct. But its amazing to me you get 13-14 with 37s and all that armor and gear. I am pretty much stock apart from a bed cover and cheap side steps lol. I am moving to CO later this summer so maybe I will see better MPGs at elevation?

[@Jesse-id4jw]

Does your tent setup block the rear view camera? Trying to build without rendering rear mirror camera useless

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Mostly, yeah - with a slightly taller rack system it wouldn't block it all though.

[@Jesse-id4jw]

Thank you!

[@CarlosPerezTRD]

Can we get an exhaust sound clip?

[@Expedition.Kitchen]

Get a tailgate pad like talon got with LLOD on it in fde and black

[@jonwebsterabbott]

Great video, Mike! Why no rocksliders?

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I'll add em soon - just waiting on lead times.

[@sambro9134]

does Diamondback preinstall the yakima track?

[@uandme41]

Cool truck!

[@user28705]

Nice truck

[@ChrisK86]

Anyone know of a front bumper installer for this in Idaho? I didn’t think it would be this difficult to find a good local retailer for this bumper

[@treytrey12388]

Any engine problems?

[@leelewandowski412]

Did your bumper come powder coated or raw metal?

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Raw, Runnin4Tacos handled getting them powdercoated for me.

[@harvmac69]

Did you have to get your C4 front bumper painted when you got it? The website says they ship bare metal. The build looks so good btw! I am a Taco guy but this Tundra looks great!!

[@austinorr5164]

bro what do you do for a living beside youtube?

[@edsuarez1482]

Is the diamondback waterproof?

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

Hey man I have a question and it's really urgent.. I hope you can answer.. My next vehicle has to be one I will keep forever.. coz I can't deal with the resale value going down to the point where I'm underwater forever and not able to trade something in that didn't work out.. Do you think the Tundra can be used as a main Overlanding rig? I've read basically the only con is the size, and that there are some trails it can't go down or it will get destroyed by branches etc. When I'm looking at both, I'm like... The Tundra is my truck.. I love how big it is.. but I don't wanna buy it and then find out I should've gotten a Tacoma.. Esp. Tacoma is cheaper. And also there's like Tacoma beast and everything for the Tacomas but I can't find the same amplitude of stuff for Tundra.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

yeah, really the only con of the tundra is its size. The size might not be an issue, depending on where you live, or what trails you’re trying to do. I would be fine on most of the trails in Colorado, but not all of them. Some of the trails out east are a little tighter, though, so there may be more issues out there. And wide open trails of lot of the west would be fine.

[@zrnagle]

You should incorporate LORA into your off-grid com setup.

[@Whopperjunior69]

I hate being poor

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

Your not alone brother 😭😭

[@JustinOros]

Be Mike. Buy tan taco. Make gray. Buy gray taco. Make tan.

[@HarTmanN_erik]

This Tundra build is similar to Montera’s built tundra until he replaced the bed

[@whackityschmackitydo]

Sounds like you need to stick to Flintstones chewable vitamins for your childlike palate

[@tuckerhiggins4336]

@@whackityschmackitydo Bro I wish those are so good, actual crack

[@Russianmafia10]

​@@TheBCSledderMike has mentioned the taste and described it as "earthy"

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Earthy with a hint of bubblegum.

[@Warpetrie]

When you say that you work with companies to develop potential products, do you also support the product development monetarily or purely on "influencer" status. I'm having the hardest time to even get the attention of local companies to try and work with me for a product for my vehicle. If it's not a Toyota companies just don't seem to care and it's very frustrating 😕

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I help in a product development, feedback, functional improvents and testing. A company needs to believe they will move enough units of something in order to support the development of that product.

[@kadenjobe5555]

I wanna know what the hell he does for work other than channel sponsors lol

[@EverydayJ1786]

If only we could get an episode of weekenderlander that's an hour long .....

[@paulk119]

Don’t do the roof rack, man! Talon did it and it’s the least desirable part of his build.. (other that the neon orange accents) 🤣.. No hate.

[@Meech_CV]

This whole group calling it quits on the Tacomas 😞

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Nah, actually planning to get the new one!
