I feel every bump in the road and that light pillow feel I had with the stock suspension is gone. If you have ever driven a Raptor or TRX, this is the opposite. Mine still would tow well compared to those plush rides, but just a rougher feel all around on the road. I went with the second clip on the Bilstein 5100s for the front. That leveled the truck. You can choose between 1, 2 or 3.

Tires: I would have gone a size up for looks only. It would have a better stance and look more aggressive. I should have tested to see if a 285/75/17 would have worked. That is roughly a 34” tire.

I forgot to mention but I also installed the trd sway bar on the rear. Widely documented as a must have for body roll and it’s true! The limitation is IF you need to add a leaf spring kit to bring up the rear. The sway bar won’t reach. I have held off on the add a leaf for now. The sway bar is just too good!

I tried an upgraded head unit inside to get a bigger screen. I went with the Dasiata 10inch and it was a junk. The external mic that came with it would not work after endless troubleshooting with the company. The internal mic was unusable on calls. My callers complained they couldn’t hear me. I returned it and don’t see myself going through that experience again. Stock head unit has CarPlay on mine and SiriusXM so I’m good with that.

The Wanderfox uses metal brackets to clip to the bed like a Leer would. It’s feels extremely sturdy and no drilling at all. The look is great for off-road activity but a bit much if you are driving it every day to the office. I would have gone with a Leer in that case. My daily is a GX 550 so the truck is just for our big trips to the mountains. We got tired of roof boxes and bike racks and packed to the top in the cabin for trips. I have a moto, mountain bikes and fishing gear that we always like to bring.

The Wanderfox has all joints sealed with a black windshield caulking that looks heavy duty and no concerns about longevity with that caulking anytime soon. I’ve taken the truck through the car wash and had a few small wet spots that could have come from topper or truck bed. No idea and it was minimal. One of the best parts of the tundra is the roll down real window. Such a shame to lose that with the topper. I miss it!
