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

Okay Mr ‘we like pics, like alot’. I think it’s time you crack open a build thread if you have not yet. You’re about to unleash more work onto your 1GT than most do in their entire ownership, and all within a few days? History must be recorded my friend, and remember, we really do like pics. Shit, you may even need to hire a photographer for the event.

 

Oh, there will be pics. I may have to do a build thread with all this shit.

 

Pics of the work, and pics of the empty pile………

 

of course, @Darkness , your driveway is uphill, so after you put it in park the truck rolled back about a hands depth.
So really you parked brail & the truck fixed for you.

 

A complete dark grey dash, center console, 1 door panel and both kick panels are en route to me. $730 shipped to me. Shipping was less that gas would of cost driving there to get this stuff. Crazy

 

Also, my exhaust is getting welded up by someone else. My bandsaw is kaput and it’s far cheaper to pay someone than buy me another right. So Hochman Fabrication & Speed. 120 hr Labor. He’s willing to use my supplied goodies and if he needs more he’ll supply the rest. Guy does BEAUTIFUL work. But I’ll be doing a 1 hour drive with open headers. My ears will hate me


I’m just waiting on the QTP reverse screamer mufflers to show up

 

Might be a cause for a couple $20 glass packs for the ride.

 

Honestly if you roll the windows down it’s not terrible inside the cab.

 

Here's my new wheels & tires setup:

Method MR316 17 X8.5 6-139.70 0 BK
Toyo Open Country A/T III LT265 /70 R17 E

 

Great looking truck. I rarely see that color. Post up some pics of that roof rack @sportbike37

 

Thanks, this is the Hooke Road Roof Rack for 2/3 Gen Tacoma 2005-2022 (4-Doors Double Cab only). Some of the brackets were flipped and extra stainless steel washers were added in order to fit correctly on the Tundra AC.

 

Excited to see how it looks. But poo brown B pillars will sour the 360 view

If you have spare moon mist I could maybe use some, but I think you didn't get that far yet, right?

 

I'm looking at skid row armor and cat guards, but have a dumb question. Here's a quote from their website, but I have no idea what part they are referring to. Anyone know or better yet have a pic?

"Since we've been asked many times about the factory, plastic "mud guards" that are installed on each side of the factory "front skid plate", here is our answer. The plastic mud guards look great, but they're not meant to be used off-road. If you actually take your truck over rocks, the rocks you're playing on will make a quick meal of those pieces. So, our new front skid plate assumes you'll be leaving those mud guards at home. You don't really need 'em anyhow."

 

I want to say they're referring to these pieces.

 

Yes. The only benefit would be to keep it a little cleaner on the lower side of the engine if you mud a lot. If you don’t, not worries. I don’t have mine and I run into quite a bit of mud in the Ozarks lol.

 

Looks so naked! But not too bad…

 

@Rheywood456 your truck is so clean that I feel like it would be worth having one of those paintless dent repair places pop those dents out. It looks damn good!

 

Does this mean your taking your top off to come to Sedona?

 

Those methods are nice. Maybe one day I'll spring for those lug nuts.

 

Thanks, I ordered the lug nuts from Method and didn't realize they were ET (extended thread) until I received them. I just figured the standard cone style lugs would work on these aftermarket wheels, but was incorrect.

 

Seems like most aftermarket are ET conical style

 

I didn't pay extra for them, but mine are nickel plated conical flush mount 3/4" hex. I guess that's the entry level.

 

Here's a screen shot of the ET (extended thread) lugs I received from Method.

 

That's what I've got with my 305s.

 

I do like the flush

 

Haha yeah… if you guys see and black doors for sale I’ll take the two passengers ones.

 

I wish!!! Haven’t been to T2S since 2017.

fun fact. I did the promo video back in 2016 for the 2017 event.

Yup I’m running those on my wheels as well.

 

Sweet! is most of that filmed out at sycamore?

 

I may need to look into those.
