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

Had the Bilstein 5100s (on middle setting) installed today

 

Very nice! I’m going to do the same pretty soon.
Did you install any shims?

 

Anyone have any experience with windows going up/down slowly? I believe its the motors going bad on me. If so, do y'all have any experience with OEM vs aftermarket motors? There's a huge price difference from what I'm seeing, but I'm worried there's a reason for that. Anyways thanks in advance.

Edit: The rubber seals along the bottom of the window where it meets the door are also worn out/broken. I wonder if that could be causing some issue.

 

no I decided not to do the shims. I’m happy with it!

 

Overlays. Quality was very nice from this seller on Ebay.

 

This is a nice looking truck. I want to go something similar to this. Is this a 3" lift?

 

Are all of them overlays or any of them actual replacements ?

 

All overlays. You could probably get some badges off the forum cheap from someone who de badged.

 

Can you tell me about the windshield brow tint. 8” and 5% (just a guess)

Yours looks nice. Would you do anything different next time?

 

yes it’s 5%. It’s a large strip. Just measured it and it was 11” on the ends and 9” in middle. If I were to do it again I would go somewhere else and get it done lol. I wanted it just a tad bigger like 2-3”. It just barely covers the rear view mirror mount right now. I had actually told them to go 2” below it but the girl acted like she couldn’t do that and was having a hard enough time doing a strip that large

 

Both front driver and passenger sides measure 37.5” from ground to fender and both driver and passenger rears measure 39”. Just looking at it it looks level. I guess I could’ve went to the top setting, but then to the eye I feel like the front would’ve looked high.



I’m definitely happy with how it looks. haven’t gotten to drive it much. Plan to get an alignment later this week.

Once I get the trim pieces for under the headlights back I’ll get some more pics of her! And after that I’ll be done with the mods for a bit!!

 

That's the perfect height that I am looking for since I'll be towing my camper. Thank you for posting photo updates. I current'y have a spacer leveling kit on now and these old shocks need to be replaced and updated. I can't wait to do mine here in a few weeks!

 

Where are you located? Feel free to send me a PM, I know the best tinter in the state. Metairie , new Orleans area. You get what you pay for tint wise

 

not far! I’m in Slidell

 

Anti glare safety mod

 

Got the trim for under headlights back from from being painted today!

I lost sight, his giveaways are strange.

 

hahaha took me a second, yeah I don't buy any of his merch but his videos have still been pretty good

 

Here’s how my truck looked when I originally got her 7 years ago compared to today



Most of this was done in the last month or 2! Decided to give her a makeover instead of trading her in for a new note!!

 

install tyger blades.

 

Installed a P3, now just waiting on it to turn off in the next 15 mins. Wish I would of bought a redarc but don't have the time to wait since I need it tomorrow. Maybe in the future I will get one and do the sequoia panel swap.

 

Swapped the second input for camera on my head unit from the bumper plug for the camper to a newly installed rear seat cam for a baby monitor. We’ll be camping alot this summer so kiddo will be in the back seat of the truck. Have something similar in my wife’s Durango but I didn’t want a secondary screen hanging out, so I got a cam that would work with my head unit. Now I just need to add some dim 10 or less lumen amber lights to the rear to give the back seat a little more light at night. The camera has a starlight sensor but it does need a little ambient light to work at night really well. The one in the Durango has IR, this one does not. Eventually I’ll add a video signal switcher to switch between the camper input and back seat but for now, no current need for camper cam as I’m not double towing anything currently. Also finally got the front tint matched

 

Changed out my tailgate strut today. It was a fairly easy replacement and took 10 minutes tops. Once you remove the driver's side taillight, you will have all the access to it. You can pry the clip with a small flat head on the backside to help wiggle it out and it'll come right out.

Fluid change in the front axel...only thing left now of major inportance is the trans fluid change.

 

enjoying those 35's

 

Are you running a lift? Any rubbing? Trimming? I really wanna run 35s I just have 5100s at middle setting. Seeing what I’d be in for

 

yes cab mount shop and 3/1 lift /+18 offset wheels
front liners and mudguards out.
good alignment

 

Installed a 100 watt 20" Black Oak light bar on the bull bar of my bumper. Spot/flood combo beam. Super bright. Running the relay trigger off the LED light pods which are run off a factory fog light switch I added. Waterproofed all connections and shrink wrapped and zip tied everything. Wiring came out pretty clean. Debating if I'm going to do a 30" bar behind the grill now.
