Memphis Tennessee, getting ready to build the TB.

Good afternoon all,
We live in Memphis, and are looking to build up our 04 TB for camping trips, and use out on the farm at times as well.
It is an 04 with 115,000 miles, owned since new.

Currently working on plans to weld up a roof rack, with built in solar panel, charging a marine battery, and powering our axillary lighting and power.
Second comes a modest suspension lift followed by a new bumper. Hoping to find one like James Downing has on his.
Lastly the pcmforless chip for a little more umph.

Love feedback on the preferred suspension lifts, as well any other good tips for a TB with 115,000 miles.

Thanks all, enjoying the site so far!

Welcome to the site Brandon. Glad you're enjoying it. You'll find a lot of opinions on this site... just a matter of figuring out who to listen to!

Since you asked... one good starting place is replacing all the fluids (trans, transfer case, diffs)

Great hearing from you all! I am in E. Memphis off of Kirby Pkwy. TB gathering would be great once I get ours all built out. Loving the info on this forum.
