What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Yep. My 06 SR5 has the controls and they light up

 

It was custom made by Brandon at AVID Off-road in Arizona. He did an awesome job

 

Congrats of many years of reliable service. This brings joy!

 

06 Tundra with 2010 4 Runner TRD rims. Powder coated them black, lmk if you guys want to see more of her!

 

Can we get a full shot of a wheel?

edit: nice tires btw!

 

Looking good! Those are 4Runner SR5 rims btw. A lot of the 4Runner rims look great on other Toyota’s

 

My apologies! When I unboxed them there was a ton of TRD badging and logos everywhere and also said TRD on the box. They were left over from my uncle left in my moms garage probably since 2010

 

I don’t have the best pictures, I’m the worlds worst photographer. Here is a before and after, I got new KYB shocks(front/back), a 2 inch leveling kit on the front, and Falken All Terrains. I love this truck to death

 

I bet your uncle upgraded to the TRD Pro rims and jammed those in the boxes, I got trail rims from a guy in Trd boxes right after he swapped.
Soooo are you in the “Phoenix” area? I can almost always tell an Az house front or “urban shopping center”

 

I am not a pro photographer, but I am a pro critic.

Pro tips: Stop taking photos with your camera angled. Don't know why this is a trend the last few years, must be an instagram thing or similar. And it's all about lighting. Never take pictures at night, never backlight the subject. Easy way to tell if you are backlighting is if the shadow is on your side of the object, instead of behind the object in the pic.

Nice looking rig by the way.

 

Now that you mention it you’re right about the boxes. You’re also right about the houses, we need to start a Desert Tundra cult or somethin

 

Thank you, I will try and take better pictures moving forward! It was because I took the picture while walking, I personally put 0 effort into my photography

 

Got my ARB Recovery kit in. Fits easily in one of my pelican cases.

 

Nice. What's in the kit?

 

D-ring Shackles, tow strap and gloves. Nothing crazy but I like that everything has its spot in the bag so it's all together.

 

Installed a new stereo to bring my truck up to date. Well worth the time. Android Auto, front and rear cameras.

 

Need me one of those red 4way flasher buttons....

 

i think it could technically be swapped into the newer dashes..

 

It’s is the same spot and looks the same size....

 

Saw this on the "gram" today. That light blue, teal is one of my favorite colors...

 

We seemed to have glossed over the tie down strap holding the fuel tank up in your photo Tundra2? There's plans to remedy this I hope? #safetyissue

 

Oh yeah. That's in the agenda. I was wondering who would be the first to say something about it. That was a "frugal Pop's repair." Used what he had long time ago to save money to feed us kids.

I've contacted Roman to see exactly what I will need. There are two different rear straps. Not sure which one I need.

 

Eh if it works.
The ratchet strap might last longer than the factory part.

 

That's kinda why I've left it all these years.

 

Stuff I ordered 2 months ago finally arrived. Not pictured is my drill brushes I ordered to clean my carpet. Lol
Silicone license plate frame, and a little bit of reassurance. If I get rear ended screw your car. I have enough lumens pouring out of the back of this to make sure you can never miss me when I brake.

 

Thanks and gratitude for their Navy service to whomever that license plate represents !

 

Thanks!

That is for my Pops. I had too many medical conditions to serve when I tried.

With my speeding tickets I transferred ownership back to him when I moved back in. I pay him the difference on his insurance from what it used to be before my record.

Still cheaper that way. Young man mistakes.

 

Bilstein rear shock kit is ordered.

What/who did you guys use for bump stops?

OEM the best there? I am missing one. If I'm gonna do one I may as well do the other one too.

 

I’m just running the originals for now.. I’ll go with something else whenever I do the ubolt flip..
