What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

New shoes today. Blacked out badges last week.

 

No more busted and bent rod eyes for me!!

 

Raptor roll on kit on front and rear bumpers and bull bar. Easy pesy and looks great.
Love yours. D

 

Now yours looks like mine haha!

 

Put these on, jeez they're so much lighter....

 

Painted my calipers while greasing the brake pins.

 

Mirror upgrade and added some grip tape to my WKO sliders.
From the standard non tow mirrors, these


To these


And because winter is coming, some grip tape.

Nothing too exciting, nice simple mods.

 

A little clear tape job to stop the cap from rubbing right through the paint... Thank baby jesus for Amazon, $11 for both sides of bed and tailgate

 

Details on how you did it?

 

Bought kit on Amazon for $45.00. Only used half. Taped off chrome area. removed bull bar . Sanded chrome to rough it up. Sprayed two coats of rustoleum flat black paint and primer. Rolled Rhino liner on after mixing two ingredients. Then with rollers in kit. Peace. D

 

Link? The Amazon link just went to tundra accessories.

 

Price went up? Still cheaper than Raptor liner website. Good luck. D

 

Got my lug nut condoms on and some tire dressing

 

I've always like that wheel style...

 

Purchased the third gen skid I found on market place last night and was able to get it installed today. Was surprised to find the cross member under the tranny already has the holes for the skid.

 

Nice! I did the same thing yesterday. That bugger is kinda heavy, particularly compared to the half sized original one.

 

I glommed on an airbox from a '19 PRO that I swapped in. I was mildly surprised in the differences. The upper and lower sections of the '19 box were taller and deeper (perspective accentuates this),


but was narrower than the stock box of my '11 (so I'm glad that the filter was still in the newer one).



I've noticed zero differences in sound or performance. No CELs, and I imagine that any measured differences would have to be measured on a dyno and they'd be so small that they'd only be compared to zero. There may be some airflow efficiencies in the design change, who knows. Nothing had to be modified. The MAF sensor swapped over and there were two bolts and a hose clamp. The Air Hose and MAF are actually the same part numbers and the newer upper and lower sections are cheaper than my original ones.

I'll offer apologies for just the two crummy photos, I was not intending nor interested in doing a write-up.

 

I flushed my power steering fluid twice today. For good reason. Pump whining when away too. Replaced with Amsoil dexron 3 atf.

 

Also replaced the upper ball joint boot I ripped a couple weeks ago while replacing the lower bjs.

 

Also built new bedside braces for my chopped rockers.

 

Oooo that's something I should do too. I may even already have the fluid....

 

I feel like the system is in happier state now. Cheap maintenance.

 

Mine still has the original fluid I'm sure. Is that the same Amsoil that's for our transmissions? Because that would be the stuff I have, if I have any....

 

Replaced rear shocks with Bilstein 5100 series. Bought and installed 22" Fuel sledge wheels paired with 305/40r22 Yokohama Parada spec-x.

 

Interesting, thanks for the info! I didn’t realize the gen3 air box would fit on gen2 trucks.

 

Me either, until I gave it a go!

 

I’m not too sure what our trans take?

 

does it work ? I feel like the cap would rub through it anyways. I just installed a used shell so I'm wondering if it's worth it.

 

The Tailgate wear is from the rubber gasket on the cap door so it'll work perfect for that. Along the bed sides is mostly from the cap shifting around while on the trail. So only time will tell but I have faith it'll do it's job for at least a few years.

It's pretty tough, even the cheap stuff can stand up for a bit to stones coming off transports at highway speeds right. My thought was it's better than nothing and if I have to change it out.... It was $11 and maybe 45 minutes worth of install time not a huge deal for me.

That being said, you could be right. I will find out over the next 6 months or so. I think it's worth it but I'll keep you updated!

 

thanks. do you have the Amazon link for the tape ?
