STOP Wasting Money on Your LandCruiser | Tundra Time

TOYOTA TUNDRA: Pre‑Reg 3.99t GVM + 3" BDS/FOX | Norwell Elite Tray | Bushwacker Flares • Method 305 (0‑offset)

It’s Tundra time at Big Dog Builds. Whether your truck is arriving locally or interstate, we can redirect it straight to our workshop pre‑registration, complete a 3" BDS coilover kit with FOX 2.5 DSC adjustables and extended CVs, then finish it with a Norwell Elite tray and a practical touring setup. In this video we show the graphite build (first Norwell Elite tray we’ve fitted to a Tundra), talk pre‑reg GVM to 3.99t, wheel/offset choices, rear coils + airbag assist/Air IQ, and why a measured stance beats a flashy but impractical fitment.

Why this package works
✅ Pre‑reg pathway: up to 3.99t GVM available before first rego (state/engineering dependent).
✅ Geometry done right: BDS tubular UCAs + extended CVs for reliable angles at 3" and proper alignment.
✅ Control on every surface: FOX 2.5 DSC (dual‑speed compression) — tune high‑speed for corrugations and low‑speed for ruts/wombat holes.
✅ Practical stance: 18×9 0‑offset keeps it usable off‑road; we explain when aggressive offsets rub.
✅ Tray that works: Norwell Elite tray with portal guards, toolboxes, trundle drawer, water outlet, and full sensor integration.
✅ Rear end sorted: coil‑sprung Tundra with airbag assist (manual Schrader or Air IQ in‑cab control) and coil options to match your load.

Interstate? We arrange transport in, you fly in for a handover, then drive home knowing every system.

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Professional installation only. Confirm ADR compliance, GVM/GCM & axle loads, tow ratings, tyre load/speed indices, and state requirements (pre‑reg approvals can vary). Avoid non‑compliant drop‑bracket lifts on 1500‑class vehicles.
