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

Both hands on the wheel. 100% safe, 100% of the time. No shenanigans here...

 

So GoPro head mount?

 

No no, then he would have to look down. I think he uses the bite mount, where you hold the camera with your teeth.

 

I need to get a mount for my helmet so I can blow the carbon out on my bike too....

 

I'd bite mount that.

 

I just looked up the price of gopros. No I don't.

 

Yeah, too much damn work. Bought this used last year from a bike shop that upgraded to a rim clamp machine. Been working great for my UTV tires.

 

In my effort to de-chrome my truck I ordered some replacement sideview mirrors that were color matched. For future reference, there is a difference between the mirrors on a 05/06, or at least a double cab and normal trucks.
One of the mirrors I bought said specifically for a 05/06 but I didn't think there would be a difference. I am thinking that they are for a 05/06 double cab which is why they are different.
Here you can see it's only the trim that is much larger.

 

We don’t have any aftermarket tow mirrors I take it?

 

@daveeasa, I’ve seen some guys on that 1st gen tundra group on Facebook use 2nd gen flip up Cummins mirrors.

 

Ive got a pair of mirrors that you strap to the mirrors.

 

Definitely look like the mirrors on my DC.

 

@BubbaW

got my new windshield and auto dim mirror in today.this was suppose to be a cheaper modification but after manglin the mount I was in a chunk. Anyways, Safelite did there thing then all I had to do was hook up the wiring.

1step: drop the overhead console and see if you’ve got any wiring up there. It’s only 2 screws and some pop in tabs holding it up there

2nd: now I got lucky and my wiring was already there even with a standard mirror. Pull the tape and feed it out.

3rd: hook up your mirror and clip your cover in place.

4th: put your overhead console back in place and enjoy that new auto dimming mirror

 

installed half of the airaid intake kit that did indeed come in today. noise level yet to be determined (didn't go for a drive) but everything fits well

 

i've envisioned clamps that grab like yours, but up top a long piece of aluminum with a 90 degree bend to make a shelf i can use on the inner ledge.



AND DAMNIT I WISH MY CAP WAS CARPETED LIKE YOURS

 

I think I’m wimping out and going 13WL stoptech on the brakes. That will be one area of superiority you will always have. Along with radiator and of course paint.

About to open my McGeorge box…

I should soon have an edge on you alternator-wise, stereo-wise and bed-light-wise.

You will definitely own my ass on horns.

 

Carpeted shells are fantastic. I've camped in mine. It's incredible the sound dampening that a carpeted interior has.

 

its on my list of things to do. and i'd like to make an aluminum frame internally so i can mount a roof rack and put a little bit of weight on it.

 

Me 2. Of course your frame will become real while mine will be a pipe dream for a bit.

in other news, hunting for door lock ECU

 

Did some stuff tonight.

Blue sea usb in the dash


MH tailgate lid


Started keyless research, my fancy key is not programming, will try the fugly ones.

 

Got the moonroof closed again finally . Had a ball leaf blocking the drivers side drain, which was causing the leak water in the interior. The pulled the seats and did the first of 2 or 3 carpet cleaning with shampoo cleaner. It looks so much better.

 

Did that come with the different air filter also?

 

Breaking the bead is the hard part. or wait.... Working the tire off the rim is the hard part.... or mounting the.... yeah it's fukt. All of it. Took around 4 hours nonstop from first jack to final drop. May very well be the last time.

duuuddee. I am jealous of your setup. Not only the tool but being anchored to a slab is key. I got the Harbor Fright piece and lag it into 2x4's, double stacked, in cross formation. In my defense, I initially got the thing to swap moto tires, never imagined I'd be huckin 35's with it. and I'll admit, I have had to weld in gussets and replace a few parts that went wet noodle on me. I like yours tho, I think I'll have to find me one of those. And of course pour a mini slab to mount it to. thanx for sharing

 

my old truck's donated organs bringing life back to other trucks

Awesome. Thanks for the update

 

Twisted in a new set of Denso iridiums . . . these were the OG set that was in the truck since 2006. I just turned 60K miles and someone here suggested I get a new set. Nine bucks each at 'Vato-Zone' yikes. I guess I'm glad I did, they were all across the board as far as how tight they were, some I had to 'crack' a little, and 2 or 3 were finger tight. Got the new ones snugged down with a torque wrench to 13 ft. lbs. Good to go.

 

If you're huckin' 35's on something like that you have my total respect.

 

And I'll use the harmonic balancer sometime in the next year. Thank you again for your generosity.

 

Let’s do this!

 

Is that for inspection? I've never had to do that.

 

Any chance you have the 4 digit number handy? I need to order some of these myself and don’t want to mess up the part.
