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

How long have you had the Hikaris? I have some Auxbeams I think and the light spills everywhere

 

5 months

 

I saw mixed reviews so if they seem reliable then I'll give then a shot later

 

Installed the Northstar, now I need that nice TRD tie down. dammit!

 

Finally set the truck up with some recovery gear. This isn’t the final setup but will help get me out of a bind if need be. Plus, more importantly, I have all my mtb trail building tools on hand all the time

 

Priorities!

 

Setting em!

 

Fake news. There's no snow!

Seriously though, looks good. Never thought of having a rake along. Might have to consider that. I used to just use my shovel to grade out jumps.

 

Yep, all melted down here. A bud and I heading out tomorrow for some more dh soup before snowboard season. Thanks, I’m pretty excited to have everything with me. In the spring, I will add a home for my water jerry can as well. That’s a handy thing to have when packing dirt.

 

Devised a solution for keeping the de-gens out of my long haul gear.

 

Finally done with my onboard air system will be able to air up and air down all four tires at the same time.

What do you think?

 

Sold the camper shell and noticed I still got some of that Tennessee tilt going on. I've read of leaf springs sagging on our trucks. Should I pursue new leafs? Add a leaf? Remove factory block and go with a bigger block? Shackles? And all this chrome has to go. Oem tow mirrors are awesome but I NEED power fold. East coast gear supply 9" bushing is on its way. Funny how you notice that instantly after you drive a Tundra with the needle bearing gone bad and you've drove one with the bushing

 

Looks good. You saying your tires are tied into the air system steady?

 

That's awesome.

 

How old is your Undercover? Keep an eye on the rivets on the hinges where they mount to the cover. They will start popping on you. I can take pics of mine for reference.

 

It will require me to connect an air hose to a schrader valve that is located in each wheel well to each tire which then I will be able to air down all and then air up all four tires at the same time.

 

Wicked. Excited to see some more pictures once ya can please. Compressor mount looks great.

 

I think @KevinK has the ability to do that as well.

 

I’m not sure, it came on the truck when I bought it. It doesn’t show much wear at all, doesn’t leak. But thank you for pointing that out, I appreciate it. How long before your rivets started to pop?

 

I fabricated an extra piece that holds the manifold in place.

BTW...if you are wanting to mount a duel ARB in the same place on a 2nd gen the air box will have to be switch to a 3rd gen air box since it is smaller.

 

If I wasn’t married, I’d buy a 2018 sequoia and swap the lights of my truck and it. Then private sell the sequoia with the ‘08 front end to an unexpecting sucker haha.

 

Washed the Tundra all up today so it could officially go in hibernation until the salt is gone.

 

yeah we installed a 2WayAir system but they’re out of business now. I could probably make you a parts list of all the stuff we actually used.

here’s our install write up.

Here’s a video if airing up. Takes longer to watch the video than to actually air up.

Pictures

 

Ordered an Optitron cluster and new lens from Roman because the one I'm getting is scratched. Didn't know it existed yesterday.

 

time to get the beater out

 

Finally got around to swapping the headunit of the Tonka, Loving the Alpine ilx 309f, Looking so much fresher that the headunit it came with...

 

That looks great.

 

Finally got a break in the rain long enough to get the Tundra washed. WheelWax still doing its job, but I did add another coat today.

 

Makes the truck feel New inside lol

 

Those lenses are quite inexpensive as I recall. I have a part number and link to them for when I eventually mar mine.
