My 500whp Supercharged Salvaged Tundra w/ $50k In Mods

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/

[@Bloo57999]

Very clean build. I have almost the same build, but a 2016 ram 1500.

[@74surfboards]

Thank You for the detailed and informative video! I drove a newer 5.7 Tundra for the first time last week and I was like daaa-uumm my little 'yota just don't cut it no more. I'm on 3 'yotas and planning on the next so this is super helpful.

[@slh48]

You guys killed it 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@wslytoy]

If I took a shot/drink every time you said "actually" in this video, my liver would have left the chat. Larry, I absolutely love your work & all of your builds. Keep killing it!

[@andrewhart9941]

I didn't notice it until I read this and Holy shit, you're not lying

[@piesareround]

Actually?

[@sm42812]

I wish I didn’t read this before watching

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Actually🤣

[@UncleManuel]

I ACTUALLY did notice that. 😂😂😂

[@hodad200]

Love this build. It’s criminally under rated.

[@charlesjackson5745]

This truck is seriously making me want to get a tundra lol

[@speeedy95]

​@charlesjackson5745 I got 1 a 2013 5.7 TRD off-road limited black out edition 4x4 crewmax. If the gas bill doesn't kill ya the repairs will. Been nothing but a money pit since day 1. Constantly blows head gaskets, tons of electrical issues and transmission problems. Currently 196k miles and needs a transmission.

[@barneymiller795]

First of all AWESOME BUILD!!!!! On a personal note, I like rebuild stories, taking a damaged or wrecked vehicle and bringing it back to life like a fiery Phoenix (the reason I watch so many rebuild videos on KZbin). I always say the rebuild/build be damned the time, effort and costs was worth as long as you love it!

[@vanjabi8827]

I prefer this over the Raptor hands down. Well done team!

[@theepanvr]

100%. And the real race is to 500K miles anyways which we all know who wins that decade over decade.

[@h2bsol648]

Tundras are built super reliable.​@@theepanvr

[@migarenaliphios]

This is probably the best tundra build today, I've been following this build since you got it and it is 100% worth it.

[@sam_s_]

It is nice, but if you look around, there are way better Tundras out there

[@migarenaliphios]

@@sam_s_ On KZbin? Where? I know the gray one similar to this one.

[@russdemello8029]

I saw a video of a lifted 5.7 tundra making 700whp beating a trx in a race

[@migarenaliphios]

@@russdemello8029 Yeah, I seen that one. It's pretty cool.

[@migarenaliphios]

But, is that here one that’s way better than this tundra? It’s not the fastest but if I had to drive one, I’d pick this one. Plus, I’m looking around and I only see a couple that are as cool.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

I got to say you did an excellent job on this build. I've exclusively owned Tundras since 2001, and in the three I have owned (2001, 2011, 2021), they have been thee best trucks and never once let me down or stranded me somewhere. My Dad's F-150 ecoboost hasn't been that great to him. This truck is gorgeous and your entire team should take pride in taking one of the best trucks ever built and making it a piece of art for the off road. P.S. I have a similar lightbar in my hood, and I actually put a smaller lightbar in the fake hoodscoop and with two lightbars in the hood my truck looks awesome. Something to think about.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

@@THECORNDOGKING I bought the headlight revolutions lightbar. I bought it on a black friday sale in 2021 and paid $600-700 for it and installed it myself. Trust me the install was awful. Getting through the firewall's little port hole felt like Jim Carrey coming out of the rhinos butt in Ace Ventura 2.

[@UncleManuel]

"For wheels I went with beadlocks, not just beadlooks." I had to giggle at that one! This was a pretty nice play on words... 😁😁😁

[@joruckus]

Great OEM+ Build 🔥 2/6/2024 comment - I always find myself going back to this video and re-watching it. Larry knows all these heavy hitters in the industry, but there's something humbling about this build. A build that anyone can obtain and not some crazy Sema build. Will always be my favorite 2.5Gen Tundra.

[@s0cketman247]

Love it man! I'm a mechanic of 20+ yrs and Toyota anything is King! Got a 07 limited 4x4 crewmax that is my baby. 97k on it. Bought it in 2019. The magnusson is my next upgrade! Didn't know about the bigger 2.6 unit til now! WOW! It's on! Can't wait! Subscribed bro! Thanks for a great video!

[@dieselguy64]

Amazing build, thanks for sharing. Love all of your work.

[@lpormedia4553]

Love the tundra content! By far my favorite pickup I’ve ever owned

[@noahpickerill3749]

75K for a "Tundra raptor" is so worth it. This is awesome 😀

[@jaymoar3561]

That’s almost the price of a midsize Tacoma now.

[@marcosrivera9112]

Officially my favorite tundra online.... perfect. Fenders arent too wide and obnoxious. Supercharger gives it the power to compete. 37s necessary. Beautiful.

[@blazecarr]

you seem to have no limits to what you can do with the truck! i'll tell you my dream build of a tundra is doing a 5.7 supercharged w/ a custom hybrid system maybe from the new tundra onto the v8. do you think its possible? would be somewhere around 700 hp and 750 tq

[@jakestachel]

Super nice build! Have you thought about doing a spare tire relocation to the bed? Just a single spare bed mount so you can get the spare to be a 37” and not have to worry about hitting the spare while off-roading and such

[@Alvarwheezy]

Black headliner and interior trim would look soo good on this

[@geraldandres6062]

Goals for our 21 TRD Pro! Such a nice build! I appreciate you sharing all the details. Inspiring!

[@Northof25A]

I have a 2019 tundra I love it! Getting the supercharger installed on Wednesday. I can't wait

[@GeorgeJFW]

Nice man! Was it with it 6 months later?

[@zackmax7184]

I don't drive now, but I think it was a Mistake to Quit putting a V-8 in The Tundra.

[@Andrew-pv8oz]

Thank emission laws for that

[@daniel-mark6947]

100%

[@h2bsol648]

The new v6 turbo engines are blowing up. I knew to stick with getting the old reliable v8 either 4.7 or 5.7 both are good motors.

[@drillingmachine1]

What a build! I have a 2015 Inferno Tundra TRD Pro, thanks for the inspiration!

[@CthulhuTheGAWD]

Tundra ECUs can finally be custom tuned? Or still have to use a dealer flash tune or the trash BullyDog programmer/tuner? I used to be on the up & up on Tundras but quit caring about them after years of no aftermarket tuning progress.

[@akelada]

Nice to know that a company like Camburg still uses Harbor Freight tools. 14:41 Awesome truck too!

[@Name-ld4kz]

And apparently they've never head of jack stands. I threw up a little bit in my mouth watching that embarrassment of a workshop.

[@tylerhersey557]

This what factory Toyota should have released as the TRD package, looks amazing keep up the great work! Love watching all your videos showcasing the car scene around the world!

[@daveduncil5476]

Killer Tundra, killer build for the common man. The way you want it.

[@jakewomacksunday]

Great video! Just made the upgrade to my tundra with the King 3.0 shocks. It’s truely amazing bolt on kit compared to a LT Tacoma I used to own. Love the color btw

[@kollinrose]

I just got my first toyota tundra (2014 w/5.7) eventually I'd love to put a supercharger in!!! Love the content brotha 🔥🤘

[@darwonboyful]

Dam! That's a super nice tundra! Excellent taste in the mods makes it all come together into an amazing package

[@cwillar1]

I love just about everything about this truck. It’s a dream build. Only thing I think would change would be color to the Hakone green, change the wheels, add the 74 weld portal kit if possible and fodees!!

[@alexandermccomb6444]

Tundra looks tough as hell and sounds like it's gonna eat the road!

[@supfoo3638]

For the price I would go this route EVERYTIME over a Trx or raptor

[@IANONYMOUS247]

That wide body kit looks mint! Nicely done!

[@chriss6154]

Dude the TRD sways help a ton at speed. Cheap and easy I stall. You will definitely notice

[@lcstay10]

Would love more content of the tundra working and chasing in the desert. Tundras are tanks

[@chrisjohnson9380]

Love this build. I’d mount the spare upright on the drivers side behind the bed-I love that old school look. You’ll gain some clearance and can run a full size spare. Might eat up too much space and then there’s the security question. Maybe just do it for out in Baja? I’m surprised to see stock bump stops up front

[@scottvaj4434]

Such a sweet truck. After supercharging/tuning my 4.0 Tacoma and making pretty decent power for what it is, I seriously wanna pick up a TRD Rock Warrior with under 150k miles and just slap on a Magnuson blower. 550hp (crank) is no joke even on a fullsize pickup.

[@Macarelo70]

Love your build I have a gen 1 raptor salvaged and haven't had any problems with it but i'll take your tundra over my raptor just for being unique ,awesome truck buddy.

[@peopleschampgarage7869]

Appreciate the break down ❤. I just got a '18 Tundra, love it

[@awecomeonman]

What a jaw-dropping beautiful build😮‍💨, I have a 2018 5.7 TSS 4x4 and this is a great aim for improving it💸

[@sdb92]

Beautiful! But, mighta as well gone (more) all out and gotten 40” BFGs, a 4-link rear suspension, and bed cage with full-size spare. Could you give an update on the SC’s performance, especially, on a dusty environment? TY.

[@dundeeecroc]

Take note Toyota, this is how you BUILD a real truck!! Great Job Larry Chen!

[@TrantGouchey]

also a less reliable truck. you are obviously new to what toyota makes and why they make it. hope this helps

[@Luckingsworth]

And also one that is $50k more than stock lmao. If you want it that is what aftermarket is for. 99% of people dont need most of this.

[@wolfgang_h3t]

​@@TrantGouchey Toyota is the company of overated to kingdom come reliability, and paying more for less.

[@Luckingsworth]

Love that rock guard. I have been looking for a sidestep that extends all the way to the bed and that looks perfect. Also thank you for getting them to make the widened 6ft beds.

[@beeoracle8254]

Love the build. What are you thoughts on upgrading the motor mounts? I am debating if upgrading to solid motor mounts is worth the performance gains.

[@bigdoba317]

I made that mistake once on my daily driver - destroyed any cabin comfort I had left.

[@beeoracle8254]

@@bigdoba317 I understand where you are coming from. I upgraded the motor mounts on my Miata NA and regretted it so I'm changing them to softer mounts.

[@LoganCoutts]

Double cab gangggg

[@4xhoser]

Love this build! Curious of mpgs for highway and city just cus 🤘😂🇨🇦 also you guys need upgraded bump stops like DuroBumps!

[@Blackpanther_risen]

Great results on the build. Wished I lived near u guys so u can build my ‘16 Limited Crewmax like yours. Love the wide body looks & best of all, the Supercharger & suspension upgrade

[@hillcountrycrops1260]

That truck is definitely worth the money. I got a used tundra during the covid issues because I couldn't order anything and it turned into something I really don't want to work without.

[@roadeomagic]

That is an awesome build!! I have the 21' 1794 tundra and one of the first mods I did was upgrade the sound system. I'm surprised you didn't touch the system, but then again, your figure focus was on off-roading. Don't know if I'll have the $$ for the supercharger, That's one upgrade I would love to do to my truck. I'm retired and on a fixed income, so I'm picking and choosing my little upgrades. Again, that is such an awesome build, best of luck to you on your off-roading adventures!

[@BoostAndRedline]

Lol Larry’s multitasking, are next level! He’s recording this video and mowing his lawn at the same time 😅

[@DeanSchumacher]

Totally worth it and way better then a raptor it's unique it's going to be hard to find another tundra like it I'm buying a tundra soon a 2008-2021 crewmax. This gave me some ideas to do with the truck and I've heard lots of good about supercharging the tundras they need that extra power with bigger tires thanks for sharing with us beautiful truck.

[@benbernhard9374]

Love the tundra larry! Im just starting my build on my 2020 double cab. Gonna try and get it on 35s and camburg suspension! thanks for the great video

[@andrewbeattie9034]

Love the vid!!! The truck is awesome and so glad you did the build breakdown and cost keep making awesome content

[@mauitavete]

Seeing you throw those rims on your tundra helped me pull the trigger on the exact same set🤙🤙

[@electrikoptik]

The Tundra will outlast any Ford Raptor by a very wide margin.

[@xXlURMOMlXx]

The frame won't lol

[@Shalashaska016]

Very helpfully in doing a comparison in whats out and available in the model for this classification of vehicles. Honestly didnt know there was a supercharger kit for this engine nor a body kit for tires on this Tundra. Might go this route instead of VMP Raptor build on a F150.

[@33redeye]

Sick build for sure. I have a 2020 platinum crewmax..magnuson supercharged..TRD dual exhaust..6” lift( rough country vertex system, front and rear..coil overs with adjustable resi’s) ..285/70r18(34”) I like having good clearance and suspension travel plus seeing more of the lift😊).. black rhino wheels..front and rear sway bars..eamp steps and a few other things..absolutely love it! Fast af🦾 and such a nice truck..hurts a lot of feelings too. I tow a 25 baja outlaw with it and it pulls it around like it’s nothin, and I also love in the mountains (blue ridges represent 😎) I’ll say, I love the stock steering wheel, on the platinums at least. Only tundra I’ve drove tho .

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Nice truck. SDHQ's hidden winch mount is pretty slick.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Great looking truck! Would it benefit you to add a snorkel to minimize the dust intake under the finder?

[@gnawfam]

Agree on the trd pro faux hood scoop. Glad I’m modding an SR5 🤙

[@RMmotorsports1000]

I can dig it, its a purpose built rig and you and the team use it.

[@JustinHaddock-m4y]

I have the same truck 2020 Toyota tundra sr5 double cab in Barcelona red and what you have it’s like a dream build for mine! But like y’all I’m taking little by little doing simple stuff then get to the bigger upgrades. Badass truck!!! 😎

[@MartyMotoring]

So sick! And shout out to Keith Charvonia!

[@Kilnor]

With the hood, could you cut the interior to make the fake air intake functional? I loved watching this build, thank you for sharing! Also was the final Dyno result 500 horsepower, was that wheel or crank?

[@Brian-os9qj]

Larry’s got this, like most vehicles he reviews

[@trevorwilliams3776]

Definitely would look into doing a 4.88 Yukon Gears. I know you have the power with that supercharger. However those 37s and the stock gears.. that trans is working hard. Some say a 5.29 would be better. Definitely for low end torque!

[@lorfamily2451]

BADDASS BUILD!! what were the specs to those tires? I know you said 37s but are they 12.5 wide, 11.5 wide?

[@georgioantoine4194]

This Tundra will outlast ANY and all raptors. BEAUTIFUL RIG. LOVE IT.

[@roliver247]

How dare you insult the dual non functional hood scoops! 🤣 jkjk awesome build man. Still planning to do the SC on my Pro. Love the Tundra, happy trails dude!

[@solstudiosTDK]

That is a big build Larry. A little expensive, but proper for the work. Enjoy and capture the moments. Ken say so (Hoon that)

[@BrandonAgpaoa]

I will invest in this supercharger for my 2020 Tundra. Nice vid. True, Toyota didn't build a truck to truly compete with the Ford Raptor. Both trucks were built for different purposes, however, Toyota still has better reliability. And, just as you did, you can custom build your Tundra for desert racing or just pure fast adrenalin fun in the sand dunes or sand.

[@BorgoreDrops]

all these mods and no catalytic converter cover plates!

[@febirusdian1465]

[@Tachy320]

I’m doing my damndest to damage my ‘15 so I can rebuild it but haven’t done it yet. But I’m working on it. But I remember when I cut into my body mount when I got bigger tires. I had to because I was going hunting and possibly might need chains. Very hard for a fairly new truck. Now I cut on it whenever. Nice truck Bro.

[@WTRacing]

What happened to the carbon hood? You even mentioned the hood issue but never brought it up

[@terryl9996]

You just need to top it off with roll bars & light bars plus titanium skid plates for the trophy look

[@244thMeekrob]

Question about the secondary intake relocate, would doing the Hewitt Bypass make more sense or do you need the secondary air injection for a SC?

[@buckyhurford3424]

My GOD!! You are fortunate. I have 2011 RW stock with 100,000 miles. I would love to build what you have. Sucks that I cant

Nice rig!! But still boggles my mind why you wouldn’t regear when you already spent that much 😅

[@petercole2339]

As a Toyota tacoma owner of a TRD with a non functional hood scoop I completely agree on the hood and have considered trading for another magnetic grey non scooped hood..

[@Tyerone1337]

Double cab is nice. Crew max doesn’t look like a real truck

[@cmedina61]

You just need to add lower Control arms , secondary shock hoop from Total chaos Fab, and a king bypass up front. I love this build. I have a 14’ on method 17s on Nittos 35s. I NEED 37s. I did a full size 5 th under cause we go riding a lot in desert conditions. I have airbags also. Make for a stiff rear end. I haven’t done Deavers or kings yet. On Bilstiens 6112s. Super clean.

I'm building a Tundapter myself right now, with the ADV. I've ran their product before. What did you do to the back side of the fiberglass to prevent rock chips blowing out the fiberglass? We typically rhino liner the back side. Didn't know if you guys had a better solution since you worked direct with ADV
