Toyota Tundra With A Custom 12″ Lift, 37″ Tires, and KILLER Stereo

Posted by admin (Jason) in March 27th, 2008

What’s cooler than a custom 12″ lift on an 07′ Tundra Doublecab with the big motor?

Toyota Tundra with a custom 12

WOW. Awesome.

Probably a few things - but we can’t think of any right now. We’re too busy thinking about how cool it would be to cruise this truck. It’s a 2wd with a custom built 12″ front end lift, 10″ rear lift that took 54 days to create! The custom work includes Fox 10″ x 2-1/2″ coil over shocks with Fox 14.0 remote reservoirs, 18″ x 3″ Eibach 700lb Coils, Atlas 2008 Toyota Tundra 8″ over stock rear leaf springs on 2″ lift blocks, a modified drive shaft, 30″ front rebound limit straps, Motorsport tech adaptors 5×150-6×5.5, Total Chaos 07+ Upper “A” arms, and a really sweet looking logo for the shop that built it - Custom Motorsports in Riverside, California.

Custom front end suspension with too much to list.

Custom Motorsports logo built into the truck.

Check out that logo!

The front end of the truck has an N-Fab Prerunner light bar with three 9″ ProComp Quartz Halogens. The wheels are 20″ KMC XD Monsters with 37″ Toyo Open Country MTs. This truck is awesome - looking at it parked on a normal neighborhood street makes it seem almost surreal.

Who’s neighborhood?! Greg’s neighborhood!

Inside, there’s a Pioneer 7″ touch screen DVD Nav hooked up to a Kicker amp hooked up to three 12″ Pioneer subs in a custom subwoofer cabinet. It’s safe to say this truck bumps too. Here’s a question for Greg (the owner) - because your truck is up so high, can anyone but you hear the stereo? Don’t the sound waves just pass over the roofs of normal vehicles?

Greg’s no stranger to lifted Tundra’s - check out his “old” truck:

Greg - thanks for sending in the pics. Sorry it took us so long to get it posted!

Lot of money invested, unfortunately this 2WD truck would just bounce and spin at the bottom of the hill.

Hey there Tundrabutt if you take a closer look you will see it’s not set up for “climbing hills” The money was invested in a long travel suspension and thats what it will be used for dumb A#@!

What gives Tundranut? I think the truck looks awesome.

TundraNut Said in March 29th, 2008 @8:41 pm

Those that *know* will agree, “looks won’t get you home when the rain starts”.

admin Said in March 30th, 2008 @11:07 am

TundraNut - why you gotta talk smack? Here’s an idea - if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That’s a cool truck and you know it.

O7 Tundra proud owner! Said in March 31st, 2008 @8:25 am

Lets just turn this into a smack off. With a coment like ” looks won’t get you home when the rain starts” just proved to me that this “Tundranut” does not have any idea what he is talking about. All 4x owners know that if your gonna get stuck somewhere you are usually putting yourself in that position on purpose. Yes, maybe if I’m back in some mountainous area where there are no dirt or paved roads I may be in a little trouble “when the rain starts”, but my friend what idiot would put themselves in that situation with a setup like mine. When this Truck is complete it will be running fast offroad and not 4x. Tundranut at the risk of making yourself sound any less credible it maybe a good idea for you to stop posting, anything! Please do some homework before you open your mouth next time bro!

I was intending to let it go, but if you insist!

I’ve got over 40yrs in 4×4s. Everybody knows a 2WD pickup is light in the rear and the worst traction you’ll find. I can’t count the times when I’ve tried to go places in 2WD only to grind to a stop and have to put it in 4WD. As a testimate to my experience you claim I don’t have, in the old days I’ve crawled across the hood to lock in hubs to avoid walking in deep mud.

This is the internet, and just like real life you experience positive and negative experiences. Mature adults learn to accept negative criticms along with the praise.

I could take my FWD car places your truck won’t go, and its not posing as something its not.

O7 Tundra proud owner! Said in March 31st, 2008 @11:03 am

I’ll say this one more time, Its not posing as a 4x, its not set up for 4x, and its not going to attempt 4xing. Your the nucklehead that got yourself in mud deep enough to have to crawl across your hood to lock in. I also go back 30 years in 4x but I’m trying a different style of offroad that doesn’t require 4WD.If I wanted a 4x I most certianly would have bought a 4x. READ WHAT I’VE BEEN WRITING! If you want to keep this up I have no problem. You seem to be very narrow minded so keep it up. P.S, I’m getting tons of personal messages in regards to your single minded 4x bull crap!

Mickey Said in March 31st, 2008 @4:38 pm

Hey I got over 35 years in 2wd and I never got stuck either. I just stated it looks awesome. I don’t know doodley squat about 4x. I thought it look pretty good fixed up. I didn’t say he was Dale Earnhardt running the Daytona or Michael Waltrip hitting a wall. Man it’s up to you to take your truck where ever you want. Some people don’t care to do those things.

I have no idea if this anecdote applies exactly to this situation, but it seems appropriate. My favorite CAR was my 2001 Mustang Mach 1. It was orange with a black stripe. It had a CAI, new throttle body, programmer, and about 15k miles when I got my hands on it. It wasn’t the fastest car on the road, and I know that Mustangs aren’t everyone’s “cup of tea”, but it was cool. I remember one time when some guy drove by my car, pointed at me, and laughed. Then he sped away. Initially, I was pissed. Who did that guy think he was! Then, as he drove off, I realized why he was laughing - he didn’t know what else to do. He was driving a ratty and rusted old truck. Instead of being mad at the guy, I just felt sorry for him. How miserable must he be to have to criticize what I have to make himself feel better? Like I said, I don’t know what’s going on here. I’ve been asked to remove all the comments, but I’m not going to - mostly because most of the comments are complimentary. I think TundraNut probably regrets being heavy handed or critical - perhaps he’ll echo that.

O7 Tundra proud owner! Said in April 1st, 2008 @8:09 am

Jason , I think it’s possible that I have made my point here. The fact is I’m very happy with my truck, and I’m very happy with the way I set it up and how it functions. In my opinion it may be a good thing to remove all comments and take it from there. I think TundraHeadquarters.com is a great site and I appreciate everyones input and support. Thanks again for everything and I’ll keep THQ informed on anything new with the rig. Dez

Truck looks great, TOYO MT’s SUCK ass. I have the new BFGoodrich KM2’s on my 6 inch lifted 07 tundra CREWMAX 4×4 TRD SR5. PROCOMP LIFT AND 18″ RIMS. KENWOOD SHALLOW MOUNT 12’s, KENWOOD KAC-x1R digital amp running subs. INFINITI KAPPA PERFECT COMPONENTS FRONT AND REAR with KAC-X4R digital amp running those. TRANSLATION: IF you are going to buy a truck don’t buy the base model, it shows…write garcia1983@yahoo.com for pics of my truck…

Tundra owner Said in April 7th, 2008 @2:25 pm

Ya these Toyo’s ain’t that great and the KM2’s have been in my sights now for a while. How many 12″ Kenwoods you got bro? Whats the crack about “Translation” all about? When you buy the base model it cost’s less and there’s always better things to add than the stock ad-ons. Why don’t you go over to http://www.TondraTalk.net and post some pics of your rig bro, we’de all like to see it. There are lots of 07’s with your kind of lift! Good place to see some nice trucks too man!

Michael Said in April 7th, 2008 @8:20 pm

WOW I missed a great argument! The truck looks cool but … I don’t get it and have to agree with the Tundra Nut dude … sorry. I agree the truck can go almost anywhere, but without the 4×4 you can not go where I can, no matter how fast you are going. The current trend of lifting the truck as high as possible and putting the biggest tires possible is just not pratical, this set up will raise your center of gravity and increase your unsprung wieght. Look at the guys that race off road they run a 35″ or 37″ tire and long travel suspension set up to keep the vehical as low as possible. Most of the class 1 cars and trophy trucks are 2WD, but they have exotic motors that push out 500++HP. Hey don’t get me wrong I think this truck looks bitchen cool, but I had to chime in on the 4×4 vs. 2wd discussion. I got stuck once in my new truck, then I flipped into 4×4 and got out … if it had been 2wd I’d still be waiting for AAA … this is only one guy’s opinion and everyone is entitled to one.

Jose Said in April 11th, 2008 @10:43 pm

Dam bro your truck is sick. It looks pretty cool. Hey man so how expensive was your lift?

Mike Farrell Said in April 13th, 2008 @12:34 pm

I have an 07 Tundra and am really looking forward to doing something like this. That Tundra looks awsome!!! I think that anyone who talks sh%$ is likely to be driving a demestic truck that they paid too much for, does not have the power, and is utterly embarrased that they are miles behind an import!!! This is my second 07 Tundra, one standard cab with NOS, and my crew cab. It was the best dat of my life getting rid of my Chevy!!

I like the write up , great truck thanks for sharing it !

JohnBruning Said in April 14th, 2008 @5:07 pm

Hope all the info I emailed you about the 2000 Tundra 4×4 was adequite. Let me know if you need any more. Thanks,

Derek Said in April 23rd, 2008 @2:41 pm

Dude, your truck looks great and as far as 4x goes I have my toyota on 42″ swampers in perfect show condition so it does not see mud ever! All my friends say if your gonna lift a 4x for looks you might as well lift a 2wd either way I dont care as long as it looks great besides 4xing is way too exspensive when you break stuff all the time

ToyotaFan Said in May 14th, 2008 @2:52 pm

i think that 07 tundra looks freakin bad.. im sure it kicks a** in the desert.

T B Said in May 25th, 2008 @11:15 am

Dez you are an animal. I recognized your truck almost instantly because you are a heavy poster on the forums im a part of. Listen, to the people saying 4×4 for life, go to you tube and look at how many 4×4’s are stuck in the mud that need to be pulled out. Search for azusa canyon mud and look at the vids. People need to know what their car can/cant handle. Dez’s truck looks fucking sick, but chances are he won’t knowingly drive into 5 feet of deep mud. I have a 4×4 but neither will I. Its all about what you’re going to be doing with your car and if you like how it looks. Its pointless to fight and argue about this, you guys sound like 5 year olds comparing your wieners at recess.

It is a very nice truck… but if the owner things he invested in long travel he is very very wrong… its a huge as lift.. and im not gonna lie , i love big trucks.. but thats all its gonna be… a pip squeak taquito 4 banger truck linked pulling 15″ + inches of travel would demolish that big truck off roading. my 2 cents..like i said.. its a sweet ass truck.. but DEF not long travel.. you cant say you have long travel when you still have a stick A arm on that thing.

admin (Jason) Said in June 7th, 2008 @3:42 pm

My mom always says “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” It IS a sweet truck - nuff’ said.

well im jelous of your truck dude. i had the same tundra as your old one. same color too. And your new truck is sick as hell.dont listen to te negative comments they are just jelous of your rig.

TXTee Said in August 8th, 2008 @12:56 am

I point blank don’t know the usefulness of any of the mods but this guy has customized his truck for his purposes….and last I checked he doesn’t owe me any money so more power to him! I like the fact that it’s unique if nothing else. However, I must say you can’t attack other people for having an opinion and the net is about free speech. Ignore the comments that you feel are negative - it’s not that crucial or a personal attack. Nice mods…As long as your truck makes you happy don’t worry if other people like it or not.

Definetly a sick truck. To bad there is always people who gota say shit. Its realy too bad.
