Giving this classic 1st Gen Tundra the front-end refresh it deserves!

The 1st Gen Tundra platform is absolute legend, but original rubber parts don't last forever. We got this rig up on the rack to completely eliminate steering slop and front-end clunks. The crew pressed in fresh lower control arm bushings, installed heavy-duty CV shafts, and dropped in new rack and pinion bushings to get this steering tight and precise again. Ready for another 200,000 miles!

Executive decision: Nope! 🙅‍

Pablo stopped by to check on the crew, but the contrast in the bays was too good. Chayton was crusing along, while Tony was locked into a full-on heavy teardown. Pablo took one look at Tony’s situation and decided the smartest move was a quick exit. Drop a comment if you’ve ever walked into a job and instantly turned right back around!

Protecting those V8s from the sneaky valley plate leak!

The 4.6L V8 in the GX460 is legendary for its reliability, but that factory liquid sealant under the intake manifold has a expiration date. We got this clean GX on the rack, pulled the manifold, prepped the surfaces, and applied fresh sealant along with new gaskets to make sure it stays leak-free on and off the trail. Catching this early saves you from major headaches down the road!

Cause of Death: Total friction failure. 🪦💀

This Miata rolled into the bays with zero pedal feel and no drive—and once we pulled the manual transmission, it was easy to see why. The clutch plate was sheared down to the bare metal rivets, and the flywheel took so much heat and abuse that it was completely heat-checked, gouged, and destroyed. Rest in peace to the factory setup! The crew prepped the crank, installed a fresh flywheel and clutch package, and resurrected this MX-5 just in time for the weekend.

Is the 100 Series the best value in the Toyota 4x4 world right now?

Pablo is diving into the rise of the 100 Series Land Cruiser! As prices on older 80 Series models stay high and new rigs get more complex, the LC100 hits that absolute sweet spot of classic ruggedness and modern daily comfort. Watch the reel to hear Pablo's take on building out these rigs for serious trail duty.

Nothing ruins the fun of a Miata quite like a slipping clutch.

We got this Mazda Miata up on the rack today to drop the manual transmission and replace the worn-out clutch setup. If your pedal feels high, the engagement is sloppy, or revs climb without you actually moving faster, don't wait until you're stranded. Our team gets manual transmissions shifting like new again so you can get back to enjoying the drive.

Noticed an oil smell after driving or spots on the driveway? It might be time for fresh valve cover gaskets!

We had this 4Runner in the shop today to address a super common issue on high-mileage Toyotas—leaking valve cover gaskets. Over time, heat cycles harden the factory rubber gaskets until oil starts seeping out around the engine and down into the spark plug wells. The crew pulled the covers, thoroughly cleaned up the sealing surfaces, dropped in fresh OEM gaskets, and got this engine bay back to squeaky-clean condition!

It has been a while since we've sold any products online. After much thought and deliberation, we've decided that selling products just isn't for us anymore but it would be a shame to let all that work we've done go to waste.

There were many people who contributed to the R&D of the products we made at Tandem. Two of those people were Johnathan Lopez and Chris Story. Tandem will focus on Service and Repair and will be turning over all the IP and tooling over to a newly created venture called Detour Design Co. A handing off of the baton, if you will.

The great thing about this is that Chris and J Lo have been involved with tandem in one way or another for a while, meaning they both know the ins and outs of the products and how they work. They'll be able to hit the ground running.

Stay tuned as we begin the transition process.

Save the manuals—and save the clutches while you're at it! 🚗🔥

Pablo breaks down what happens when a Miata clutch goes out and why replacing the flywheel alongside the clutch plate is essential for a smooth, reliable engagement. We got this MX-5 fixed up, buttoned back together, and ready to hit the twisties. What manual setup are you driving this week? Drop it in the comments!

If you drive a GX460, this is a repair you’ll want to keep on your radar! 🪛💧

We had this 2017 Lexus GX460 in the shop for one of the most common issues on the 4.6L V8—a valley plate coolant leak. Over time, the factory sealant under the intake manifold breaks down, causing coolant to slowly pool in the engine valley and seep down the back of the block. The team tore down the intake, prepped and resealed the valley plate with fresh OEM sealant, replaced the gaskets, and got this 4.6L buttoned up and leak-free!
