I just wanted to say how much I appreciate how well done this build is. Super clean, well thought out and executed beautifully. Even down to the zip-ties and grommets for cable management in the bed. As a designer my OCD is always on high with pretty much everything and this was like watching a perfectly constructed Cloud. Made of bad-assness LOL. Great job.

"You gotta be rocking your kids' gift all the time..." Bro., not only are you good in your exhibition/walk around but your jokes are hilarious and engaging. The "gift" from the soccer mom on her land rover that was equally funny. You earned my subscription and a big like. The New V6/Turbo Tundra is proving to be problematic already and there is an increasing majority that prefer these old school V8/NA TUNDRA - Thanks for your insight and keep up the great content. Thoroughly enjoyed myself
The Decked box is a bit of pain but very straight forward. Just take your time and leave an entire day to make sure you are not rushed. The rack is simple too. Let us know when you are ready we may a discount for you on both items!
1881 Ranch Home for me is San Antonio Texas. The upgrades I have done or the back rear bumper step, the rear sway bar read, the driver side grab handle on the a post, it came with a safe in the console, I installed the automatic up and down windows for the front and rear door windows. And I put red in certain letters for the Toyota Emblem underneath the stereo, and I also put large Raised glossy red Toyota emblem on the tailgate. That’s all I’ve done, LOL nothing compared to what you’ve done.
The rack definitely is a awesome product. They have a new version out now that works with a hard roll up cover for the bed which is money!!! Thanks for the view and your support!
Thanks, Giant for the view and the support! We have Part 2 coming out tonight at 8:00pm CST if you are interested. I will be on live to answer any questions and share some laughs. Hope you can make it. Thanks again! Will-
Extremely smart layout... My only suggestion would be a Magnuson supercharger kit, which was installed by the dealers as an option until they decided the profit margin wasn't good enough at the end of the 2015 model year. Thank you for including the links. You have some of the exact mods I've been looking for and will be ordering very soon now.
Tundra has not had distributors since like 1998. the coils can now take water fine. arb makes a nice diff breather kit. i run the rigid ditch lights too on my 2014 tundra along with a snorkel. come down to north ga/nc and i can show you some nice trails-
Thanks for the comment and view! Yeah I was not clear, I was speaking of my Land Rover Defender which did have a distributor and did not like water on it. 😉

Hi Hunter, thank you for the view and your comment! We just saw that dash unit the other day and agree it would be a perfect addition. We had a couple parts from Rago on our 4Runner and really enjoyed them. The truck will be having a few more upgrades this coming spring and will put that on the list for sure. Thanks again for the input, Will-
Would you be able to show or let me know what you did with respect to how you set up your switches for all the after market lights you have on the front and back of your truck. I have a 2016 Tundra limited and I am installing a light bar and the same Rigid hood ditch lights but I am struggling with a clean set up for the light switches. I don’t have any stock blank switch spots inside the vehicle so I’m trying to come up with ideas for a clean install for the light switches. Your build is absolutely awesome. Love the modular interior set up. Great job. Thanks for the thorough run through of your truck.
Hey Chui! We used a plug and play system from sPOD. Theirs is a main box that gets mounted where you want, then a power cable to the battery, and all the lights wire into that box w pos & neg. The switch panel can get mounted anywhere you like with industrial double stick tape or the supplied bracket. The connection between the main box and switch panel is handled by only 1 ethernet style cable so the interior wiring is WAY simple! Look them up sPOD. There are a few others but theirs is the best hands down plus it can be controlled by your bluetooth phone!!! Thanks for the question and the view and apologies for taking so long to answer you.
Thanks for the view James. Defiantly take the Ram Mounts idea and run with it. I have links below, just remember they are all interchangeable as long as the ball size stays the same. Cheers, Will-
I really like how you incorporated the stock suspension. Been wondering if I should get a Pro or an SR5 and modify that. I want the amenities of the Pro interior. You just sealed it for me. Great truck can’t wait to almost mirror yours.
Hi Sheep Dog! Yeah I have been super pleased with the suspension from the factory and that says a lot as I have put Stage 6 ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspensions on my last 2 builds including my 4Runner, the guys at ICON are great and helped a ton with the Runner setup. So it was hard to trust the factory set up but I have to say I have had only 1 complaint and that was the "saggy" rear but fixed that with some larger shackles and it actually smoothed out the ride. Take our lead and run brother! We hope you have good luck and let us know if you need help along the way. Thanks again for the support and the view! Will-
1881 Ranch hey brotha, did you do anything for the front suspension? I know the rear you had the shackles who btw I’ve seen some great reviews for them. Thanks.
Hey Denny that is a Leitner rack. They are a really awesome option for those who need a bit of flexibility in off roading and normal use. They are also way stiff and dont rattle which is a huge plus. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Vadim, We have 2 sets of tracks for a couple of reasons. 1st is we ordered 2 sets just so we had them in case we wanted to mount some at a different spot like a roof rack. 2nd is as we mounted our table on the back of the rack it slides between the center section created by the 2 sets of tracks. 3rd is probably the most weighted, they are mounted in pairs so that either the passenger or the driver side can get out and place a track front and back for their respective side. So let's say the passenger side gets stuck in the mud, it is more efficient for the passenger to get this handled all by themselves. Also for the time being we have the room up top and it just looks cool and keeps the wind drag down a bit. Thanks for the view and your comment! Will-
Two questions. 1 - what year are lights? I just picked up a 2016 last week, and the stock lights suck. 2 - what mount did you use for the iPad? My first Toyota - so far, so good.
Hey Bronze thanks for the view and the question. Yeah! It’s there, always a few washers and bolts that rust every year, the stainless ones even corrode. Welcome to our pain in the midwest, winters with salt mixed with nasty chemicals - nothing is safe! 😉
What is it that you do for a living, that you get to mod out your own truck for work? I am quite curious. Good looking rig, I am just starting to do the same to my 2021 Pro.
I like tundra content. So i subscribed. Also, i like ALL the things you pointed out about that bumper...its just so damn big. I cant find a single bumper I like for my tundra.
Hahaha thanks for the view and comment! Yeah I’ve seen some great alternatives but just couldn’t spend the money on a work truck. Thanks again for the support!
1881 Ranch yea I don’t like the 3 hoops though. C4 and Demello have the closest thing to a bumper I’ve liked. But as you mentioned they want a mortgage payment for some metal lol
Hi Genius! That iPad holder is from Ram Mounts and the actual part that holds the iPad is a model specific item you will need to select to fit your gen, size and model. I might be able to look up my part no. but it is for a older 12.9”model when pens just came out. Thanks for the view and the question.
I am looking for a truck and your build lands perfect for me. Love the reliability of Toyota but not much of a fan of the new tundra trd pro with the hybrid setup.
Hi Rosa, thanks for the view and the question. NOPE just plug and play for the most part as it uses the stock wiring loom and connectors. With that being said the turn signal wire did need a resistor clamped on the wire and mounted but supper easy. It is a whole headlight assembly that you just replace, just unbolt a few bolts and pull out old OEM and install the new OEM housing. Hope that helped! Let us know if you have any other questions but the folks at www.headlightrevolution.com have this all figured out and are really helpful. Will-
Nice build! What are those tires in inches 32 or 33? What is your gas mileage running? Last thing; your gift LOL could be pulled out with paintless dent repair.
Hey Chris first thanks for the view and comment. The tires end up being 33”, we wanted to go to 35s but at that stage the stock bumper was still on and they would have required moving it forward. They ride perfect and being able to pull off and get a new tire almost anywhere is a HUGE plus! Gas mileage is pretty solid at 10-11 in the city and 14-15 on the highway- the KN air filter helps a bit but not much. Yeah we have just gotten around to the paintless thing yet. Hard to find a reputable firm around us that doesn’t want a arm and a leg. Cheers!
www.rammount.com/shop-all/motorcycle/phone-mounts All I did was use the top portion of the bar mount and send a screw through the holes were the u shaped bolt went. Hope this helps! Will-
Hey Firegrunt it is a Leitner Designs. They have 2 more versions out now and are a really solid company with awesome support. The new version I want to get works with a roll up bed cover which is money 💰 , maybe my next build...
Hey Ryan, we will get the link up for you today. There are several versions but the important thing is the base of the mount. This one mounts to the seat platform and is very sturdy so the shaking is at a minimum. Thanks again for the view and your comment. Will-
@@Ranch-ix1ir Would love to know what mount that was, i looked all over, found one from www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/technology/portable-media/valet-car-seat-ipad-mount/ but can't tell if that's the same or not.
Ryan, The mount is from Ram Mounts and the holder is model specific for tablet. The support arms that mount to the floor are also from Ram. Here it is! www.rammount.com/mount-builder?Tundra%20no%20drill%20ipad
Turbo diesels are way cool just not that popular here for some reason in passenger vehicles. I think we may see that with the new HiLux that is supposed to be coming to the states. Although the V8 gas engine with the TRD exhaust sounds SOOO good, we wouldn’t change a thing. BRUUMMM! Thanks for the view, comment and support Krishna! Will-
Hi Davin, thanks for the view and comment. I am super pleased with the Tundra. I have always had Chevys and Fords additionally growing up for a while on a ranch in Montana Rams were the truck back then. I have to say build quality is super and reliability is top notch. For a 1/2 ton truck it can’t be beat that is saying something coming from a die hard like me. Hope that helps and let us know if you would like to see a specific segment on the truck! Will-
Hahaha yeah Pindal we are still torn on which one to do. We had a 3 Dog on the overland trailer and loved the space and gear toting of a trailer but right now we just run a OZ Tent 4 and a separate extension to the rack. We have a video coming this fall on the tent and Flatpit firepit we use.
@@Ranch-ix1ir I absolutely recommend and backed by our experience: CVT Mt. Denali Extended Stargazer Summit, 4+ person and the 270 Awning Plus Ealls from Overland Vehicle System.
Great video and build! Why didn’t you build a double cab though? An overland vehicle needs more bedroom for gear than wasted space for people that can fit in a DC back seat.
Hey Brad, first thanks for the view and the comment! We chose the Crewmax because as a daily driver we are constantly having more than 2 people in the truck (clients, kids, dog etc). We would have liked more bed space for a bed like you mentioned so we could cap it and sleep in back but as a daily driver the other side won out. 😉 thanks again for your support! Will-
Thanks for the view Pinoy and the support. I did not see any real change in my MPG with the tire change as they are only 1” larger. We still get 12 city 14-16 highway not great but it’s pretty normal. Thanks for the question! Will-
Hahaha yeah I wasn’t that clear, I was referring to the days of my Defender and getting the distributor wet. Thanks for the like and support Philip! Will-
Hey, this is one sharp build! One thing I wanted to ask, since I also have a TRD Pro and am looking to get the same bumper. I see that you were able to mount the bumper bracket even with that thick TRD skid plate under there. Did you need to trim or mod anything? Or was this whole bumper set already built with that thick TRD plate in the design plan all along? I’d just like to know before hand so I don’t get in over my head after ordering it
We thought of them but have not gotten to those mods as we very RARELY have ever needed them outside of sand for over landing. Off-roading is another story! ;)
The owner is also in the mfg industry and makes a knife that is used by a group of PJs. We needed b roll so we stole some from his other company, he was also in the defense industry and PMC after 9-11. 😉
Thanks for the watch and comment Dale. Yeah we only went up one size to fill out that wheel well as the stock tire and size looked horrible. If we went up 2 sizes we would probably still be ok as the bumper and front wheel well is the main sticky point at that size but 3 sizes up we will need a spacer & etc which makes the truck more custom than we wanted.
I don't like the "Gift" you got from the Soccer mom. I put Rhino RB20 running boards on mine to possibly protect from cars opening their doors beside me....unless they are tall their doors will hit my running board before hitting the body of my truck. Now may need some bushwacker fender flairs to protect that part even though I don't really like that look.
Hey Dale That is a great idea! I looked at a pair last year that were perforated to aid in grip with muddy construction boots and with the winters in the midwest I like that. I can always weld on a separate piece pipe to the outside edge to get them a bit wider to guard against them damn soccer moms. Thanks for the suggestion and the view!
@@Ranch-ix1ir no problem my friend..it works as I tested it already. Although I still try to park away from everyone but truck is like a magnet sometimes as people seem to just want to park beside me often.
Hey Nick thanks for your input and your view on the video. In response to your comment on the shocks, keep in mind that this truck is a 2016 and not the current 2019 version. That being said for 2 years starting in 2016 the TRD Tundra was outfitted with Bilstiens shocks before redesigns came in the platform and them switching to FOX. Thanks again for the view and stay tuned as we have a few more videos coming.
Austin, hahaha yeah Stink Bug, thanks for the view and support, now that we have corrupted your vehicle vocabulary. I was in TN and said that to a guy who thought I was talking about something ELSE and gave me the dirtiest look.
Hey Jay thanks for the view and the support! Yeah I hear ya, but the truck is at least made in Texas with American workers. Value and / or reliability was sketchy at that time w F and C.
Hey Lex- Thank you for your view and commenting. Yeah, MILD... Hahaha for me that is. The previous couple of rigs were modified more and had a ton more time on the trails. This is our new work/fun build and still loving the TRD Tundra! If you have any suggestions for related videos let us know. Again, thanks for the view. Will-
I’m watching this, seeing all the upgrades, doodads and chingaderas and saying to myself, rather sheepishly, “Yeah, I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. It’s stock. Oh, and covered in dog slobber.”

What part of the country is home? Have you started any other upgrades yet?
1881 Ranch Home for me is San Antonio Texas. The upgrades I have done or the back rear bumper step, the rear sway bar read, the driver side grab handle on the a post, it came with a safe in the console, I installed the automatic up and down windows for the front and rear door windows. And I put red in certain letters for the Toyota Emblem underneath the stereo, and I also put large Raised glossy red Toyota emblem on the tailgate.

Although the V8 gas engine with the TRD exhaust sounds SOOO good, we wouldn’t change a thing. BRUUMMM! Thanks for the view, comment and support Krishna! Will-
Awesome build. So whats your opinion on the toyota tundra? Are you happy with your purchase over a ford, chevy, dodge?
Hi Davin, thanks for the view and comment. I am super pleased with the Tundra. I have always had Chevys and Fords additionally growing up for a while on a ranch in Montana Rams were the truck back then. I have to say build quality is super and reliability is top notch. For a 1/2 ton truck it can’t be beat that is saying something coming from a die hard like me. Hope that helps and let us know if you would like to see a specific segment on the truck! Will-
and the roof top tent?
Hahaha yeah Pindal we are still torn on which one to do. We had a 3 Dog on the overland trailer and loved the space and gear toting of a trailer but right now we just run a OZ Tent 4 and a separate extension to the rack. We have a video coming this fall on the tent and Flatpit firepit we use.
@@Ranch-ix1ir I absolutely recommend and backed by our experience: CVT Mt. Denali Extended Stargazer Summit, 4+ person and the 270 Awning Plus Ealls from Overland Vehicle System.
Thanks Pindal I will look into them!
Great video and build! Why didn’t you build a double cab though? An overland vehicle needs more bedroom for gear than wasted space for people that can fit in a DC back seat.
Hey Brad, first thanks for the view and the comment! We chose the Crewmax because as a daily driver we are constantly having more than 2 people in the truck (clients, kids, dog etc). We would have liked more bed space for a bed like you mentioned so we could cap it and sleep in back but as a daily driver the other side won out. 😉 thanks again for your support! Will-
Hi just wanted to ask what is your mpg highway on that bigger tire? I'm looking to switch to 18 inch wheels on my 2020 tss ..
Thanks for the view Pinoy and the support. I did not see any real change in my MPG with the tire change as they are only 1” larger. We still get 12 city 14-16 highway not great but it’s pretty normal. Thanks for the question! Will-
Nice build, one thing I would like to point out, your truck doesn’t have a distributor
Hahaha yeah I wasn’t that clear, I was referring to the days of my Defender and getting the distributor wet. Thanks for the like and support Philip! Will-
What is the MPG for these setups?
Pretty close to stock - horrible. 😉
Hey, this is one sharp build! One thing I wanted to ask, since I also have a TRD Pro and am looking to get the same bumper. I see that you were able to mount the bumper bracket even with that thick TRD skid plate under there. Did you need to trim or mod anything? Or was this whole bumper set already built with that thick TRD plate in the design plan all along? I’d just like to know before hand so I don’t get in over my head after ordering it
No lockers?
We thought of them but have not gotten to those mods as we very RARELY have ever needed them outside of sand for over landing. Off-roading is another story! ;)
Thanks Isaiah for the view, comment and support! Part 2 will be out on the 4th of September and covers more detail on the actual rolling set up.
What’s up with the PJs in the intro?? Not familiar with your background before UA-cam...
The owner is also in the mfg industry and makes a knife that is used by a group of PJs. We needed b roll so we stole some from his other company, he was also in the defense industry and PMC after 9-11. 😉
Those size Tires would have fit fine with no modifications as the are only 1 inch more diameter than stock.
Thanks for the watch and comment Dale. Yeah we only went up one size to fill out that wheel well as the stock tire and size looked horrible. If we went up 2 sizes we would probably still be ok as the bumper and front wheel well is the main sticky point at that size but 3 sizes up we will need a spacer & etc which makes the truck more custom than we wanted.
I don't like the "Gift" you got from the Soccer mom. I put Rhino RB20 running boards on mine to possibly protect from cars opening their doors beside me....unless they are tall their doors will hit my running board before hitting the body of my truck. Now may need some bushwacker fender flairs to protect that part even though I don't really like that look.
Hey Dale
That is a great idea! I looked at a pair last year that were perforated to aid in grip with muddy construction boots and with the winters in the midwest I like that. I can always weld on a separate piece pipe to the outside edge to get them a bit wider to guard against them damn soccer moms. Thanks for the suggestion and the view!
@@Ranch-ix1ir no problem my friend..it works as I tested it already. Although I still try to park away from everyone but truck is like a magnet sometimes as people seem to just want to park beside me often.
Yeah, right?!?!
Those are actually fox shocks
Hey Nick thanks for your input and your view on the video. In response to your comment on the shocks, keep in mind that this truck is a 2016 and not the current 2019 version. That being said for 2 years starting in 2016 the TRD Tundra was outfitted with Bilstiens shocks before redesigns came in the platform and them switching to FOX. Thanks again for the view and stay tuned as we have a few more videos coming.
I have a 2016, I never understood whose brilliant idea it was to put turd = Trd on the back of the trucks.
Sink bug???hahaha. I will never call it rake again!
Austin, hahaha yeah Stink Bug, thanks for the view and support, now that we have corrupted your vehicle vocabulary. I was in TN and said that to a guy who thought I was talking about something ELSE and gave me the dirtiest look.
Man I am looking old!
That is a rough looking 25 !
Nah you look great!
I know, right?!?!
Nice truck I would of went American but u know jk lol
Hey Jay thanks for the view and the support! Yeah I hear ya, but the truck is at least made in Texas with American workers. Value and / or reliability was sketchy at that time w F and C.
@@Ranch-ix1ir im just joking its all good though im Chris's nebighpr
@@Ranch-ix1ir so its built in Texas so really its a American truck
If ya don’t count the money going back to Japan... 😉
@@Ranch-ix1ir ik right
Very…. Mild, pretty hardcore to me 🤨
Hey Lex-
Thank you for your view and commenting. Yeah, MILD... Hahaha for me that is. The previous couple of rigs were modified more and had a ton more time on the trails. This is our new work/fun build and still loving the TRD Tundra! If you have any suggestions for related videos let us know.
Again, thanks for the view.

Man I wish I have the $$$ for this but hey "I just want to catch a fish"
Hey Noob thank you for the view and the support. Catch a fatty for us! 😉
I’m watching this, seeing all the upgrades, doodads and chingaderas and saying to myself, rather sheepishly, “Yeah, I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. It’s stock. Oh, and covered in dog slobber.”
