2006 Toyota Tundra - Transformation

After the throttle body cover was removed and the battery was disconnected, we loosened the hose clamps and removed the factory intake tube.

The True Flow filter used the factory airbox and dropped into place.

All of the necessary hoses, including PCV, were included in the kit and simply push onto the fittings on the True Flow tube after the silicone couplings were tightened. With the battery reconnected, we fired up the engine and heard the rush of a free intake tract.

Inside Precision Grille's warehouse and prototyping facility in Rancho Santa Fe, California, Aaron began removing the 10mm nuts that held the factory grille shell in place. The single-piece plastic shell lifted off of the hood after the final two 10mm hood-release bolts were removed.

An air-powered reciprocating saw was used to cut out the center bars from the grille shell. Aaron then used a die grinder with an abrasive drum to create a smooth perimeter.

After carefully aligning the new billet grille insert to ensure it was flush, Aaron drilled the mounting holes into the shell before screws were tightened into threaded inserts.

The factory 10mm nuts were reinstalled on the grille shell on top, and the bumper grille was fitted between the factory honeycomb and installed with six studs and nuts. The honeycomb is only visible when it's at eye level, so it wasn't necessary to remove.

RCD's lift kit came with a thick "Gator black" powdercoat, taller steering knuckles, Bilstein shocks, and a new antisway-bar.

Now at our final destination, SKG Motorsports in Poway, California, Bob began removing the wheels and unbolting the knuckles from the ball joints.
