Tundra on 40s Walkaround

This is a detailed walk through of my 2016 Tundra CrewMax on 40s.
Here's a link to the solid intermediate shaft:

Amazing build. This has got to be the most functionally modified tundra out there.

[@stevekeenan9673]

That camera set up is genius 👌. This truck deserved a petersons or 4wheeler magazine feature.

[@Rob-jq3zu]

Thanks for the video!!!! That solid shaft is good to know!!!

[@theclan4adventures]

Waited years for this video 😂 !!!!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Just found this goldmine, dude knows his stuff!

[@theclan4adventures]

@@treehouseoffroad I hope he builds the other tundra and does more videos.. his crew max was bad ass .. I want to build a second gen sequoia on 40’s but we will see I think you’ll be on 40’s long before me 😂

[@Brooks3434]

Agreed, he definitely earned a sub here...can't wait for the next build....

[@seanfairbairn8815]

Thanks for the walkaround. I am a fan and your truck looks awsome. The double cab is going to be even more unstoppable. looking forward to seeing that come together.

[@jamestorregrossa1185]

That dude definitely has a personal relationship with his truck

[@stevog44]

Bad ass dude. I’m in a crew max long travel on 37s. Im diggin that rear bumper. Good info on the stub shaft. Thnks. Subd.

[@chris-vd8tw]

Truck is a beast. Love Tundras

[@AldenPez]

Nice idea with the flashing between the springs i just saw a video on the terra crew channel where a guy literally coated all of his springs in teflon. Crazy but he said it made them buttery smooth lol

[@AldenPez]

Also wondering why you chose those specific tires. They look wild so im just wondering

[@wheelingfullsize]

@@AldenPez These are C rated tires but have 4 ply side walls, whereas E rated tires only have 3 ply sidewalls. So they're softer and can spread out more when I air down with an additional ply for extra sidewall protection. I just got a new set of TrailReady beadlock wheels that I'm going to throw these tires on and sell off the Method beadgrips.

[@AldenPez]

@@wheelingfullsize ahh ok thats cool! Ive been wondering why a lot of 40’s are c rated

[@plumber_cayle]

What a cool build.

[@TundraVic]

Great video! I have a similar build on a 2019 Tundra. I had the same issue with my demello sliders. I had them make me a second set out of thicker material and with braces on both ends I welded and both of them to the frame. I also added some small bars to the tops of the bolts so that they do not catch on rocks.

[@theangrycamper]

Pretty fkn badass!

[@John-xm9qv]

Best tundra on KZbin! That’s a ton of mods to bring back to stock and swap over. A custom tray bed and frame chop wouldn’t get the job done on this crew max?

[@wheelingfullsize]

The goal is to shorten the wheelbase. Bobbing the bed on the CM could achieve that but then I’m assed out on bed space. I initially wanted to convert a regular cab long bed but needed cab space for the dogs so I settled for the DC.

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

Really excellent 👏

[@Chinese_Chicken]

I noticed you have a solution for your rear lower shock mounts, but what I did is put the lower mounts on top of the axle. And a thing about your tq w/40s. could look into a DAP tune. It'll get rid of your tq management. For reference, tuned I can easily pwr brake 37 MTs with 4.88s

[@wheelingfullsize]

I used to have a DAP tune many years ago. There's nothing he could do that I haven't already tried myself with my HPTuner.

[@98supraman]

What happens to the a.d.d. when you install the solid intermediate shaft? Do you remove it? Really good info on tundras. Nice rig.

[@wheelingfullsize]

Have to leave the ADD in place because it'll leave a big opening and need to leave it plugged in otherwise the 4WD ECU will flash the 4HI/4LO light on your dash. I just removed the slide collar. The ADD will still slide its fork but it doesn't know that the collar is gone.

[@98supraman]

That's good to know, thanks.

[@treehouseoffroad]

First off excellent video my man. I have a few questions if you have the time. I just swapped a Tundra 10.5" rear axle into my 2006 Sequoia. Have you had many issues with yours or has it been pretty reliable? Now I'm working on fabbing up the front 9" to go in there as well. I had to have the intermediate shaft & tube shortened 6.25" at a machine shop to make it narrow enough to fit. How many stub shafts did you break before going with the LC200 shaft? I thought about doing that but it's a daily and I really wanted to be able to disengage the ADD. Thanks ahead of time, subscribed and I'm glad I found your channel!

[@wheelingfullsize]

The 10.5" is solid, never had any problems and I've wheeled the truck loaded at 8200lbs. I snapped 4 or so stub shafts before I went with the LC200. Even though the ADD is nonfunctional the front wheels can still free spin independently but the tradeoff is that there's additional friction created because the front drive shaft now spins. But I think that might be a problem with a Sequoia that has AWD. When you got the shaft fabbed did the shop cut the splines OR did they cut out the middle and welded it back together?

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@wheelingfullsize Thanks for responding. They cut it, did approx 2" male splines on one side and female on the other. Press fit it together and it will be tig welded. I have an FJ cruiser transfer case in my Sequoia and I heard they can take the backspin from the front Drive shaft with no issues. Some of the transfer cases I've heard you can starve the front bearing from oil with the feedback.

[@wheelingfullsize]

@@treehouseoffroad I've been waiting 6+ months for this one shop to cut my spud shaft (female to male spline adapter) so that I can marry the transmission output to my Atlas TC. You think the shop you used can make it? Do they have a website? There are other places online I've contacted but they want my left arm and several toes for it.

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@wheelingfullsize it cost me a grand, are you still interested? He does not have a website, he rents a shop next to mine

[@JUNWang-l3v]

I have a 15 tundra in California. Can you help me change it to have the same on 40s tires/shock system as you? how much？

[@Brooks3434]

Hopefully youre still monitoring comments for this 9 Month old vid. I'll be getting into the diffs on my 2012 pretty soon to go to 5.29 and put lockers in. What year land cruiser did the front diff intermediate shaft come out of? I consider that a must do if I'm going to have it torn apart...currently on 37s looking to go to 40s at some point....thanks!

[@wheelingfullsize]

The LC200 is from 2007-2020. Just make sure not to go crazy with the front lockers.

[@Bolie420]

I had an idea to turn a double cab into a crawler. Did you get a limited?

[@jspecc7463]

Nice build man! Why are you switching to a double cab??

[@wheelingfullsize]

I’m going to do a lot of custom work on the DC so that it’s better off road. Shortening the frame so that it improves the break over angle. Tubbing the rear cab so that I can raise the fuel tank so that it’s not lower than the frame. Installing an Atlas transfer case so that I have torque to climb. The list goes on.

I'm sure the kids were having fun but it killed your already pretty rough audio. Good vid tho

[@thehayman7352]

Lack of torque on 40s with the v8 and 5.29s? How do Jeeps and less powerful rigs manage 40s then?

[@wheelingfullsize]

When you drop into 4LO the ECUs plays a big part in limiting the amount of power you can apply down to the wheels because Toyota knows that the CV axles are the weakest link, which is why I was able to somewhat get around it by having to trick the 4WD ECU.

[@thehayman7352]

@@wheelingfullsize that makes sense. Have you found the tundra components for the most part able to handle 40s and off-road use? Axles, steering rack, diffs , etc. when I went to 37s on my 4runner I was running into problems left and right

[@wheelingfullsize]

@@thehayman7352 with the wheeling I do CV axles and the stub shaft were definitely the weakest link. I was snapping them left and right. Even the RCV axles I upgraded to I've been able to strip the splines. Surprisingly, the steering rack hasn't given me any problems and I've never bent the tie rods. The diffs themselves have been fine but then again I've had lockers front & rear pre-40s which strengthens them over OEM.

[@johnconcentrius]

⁠@@wheelingfullsize so you reckon your setup but for more overlanding shouldn’t run into significant cv/stub shaft issues? For reference my plan is to put a 6.5ft on my crewmax with a light pop up camper in the rear w/ custom bags if necessary. Full lockers, gears and such.

[@TundraVic]

@@wheelingfullsize I see you broke the Amazon solid shaft. Did you switch to The Toyota part 41337-60020?

[@nesttrr]

any updates?

[@wheelingfullsize]

The double cab truck spent the winter covered and on jack stands on the driveway, while I spent the handful of dry weekends doing body work on the crewmax. I still have the tailgate to fix then it's off to get painted. Then I can start up on the DC again.
