Legends are passed down from generation to generation, some fictional, some based on historic events. Just the same, products can develop into icon images in the marketplace. Case in point with this new Tundra equipped with new Eclipse products debuting in '08.
Starting with Toyota's new revamped '07 Tundra, Rick Bottom Designs modified the stock knuckle by relocating the spindle and flipping the lower ball joint to set the 5 inches of front-end drop. Out back, an SOS Performance shackle flip kit leveled off the Toyota with a total of 7 inches from stock ride height.
Mounted on the TRD 22x9-inch wheels are the 285/45R22 Goodyear Tires. Any infringement to the truck's stopping abilities were subdued by the addition of 16-inch TRD front rotors and six-piston calipers.
Rick Bottom Designs also smoothed the grille shell, added a Snuglid bed cover, a Lund billet grille and bumper insert, and an SOS Performance rear valance. Meanwhile, orange pearl with silver stripes were methodically laid on the smoothed hauler. With the help of a K&N intake and Corsa after-cat exhaust system, this truck lays down a 14.6 at 96 mph. (Hang onto your retinas!) Making the truck's driving experience fun in the acceleration department was aided by the 4.30:1 rear axle gear ratio.
