    The only thing I've done to ye olden Tundra lately was a couple of weeks ago I went to start it up and the batt was dead since it had been sitting for almost 3 months. It fired up with my jump starter no problem. The battery is kaput so I put the battery from my Ford in it. Its an AGM battery. No problems with starting since then. Took it to work tonight and the CEL popped up. Those codes are the only ones on there. My Rutech kit just included the harness that goes inline with the MAF and the block off plates both of which were installed no issues.

    I saw on some 2 or 2.5 gen thread I think that someone custom cut some clear vinyl or something similar to protect against those types of scratches, and was obviously "invisible."

    Since you've done the polishing, it may be worth looking into.

    Also a slang term for an improvised sex toy often built by incarcerated individuals out of a rubber glove and a towel, aka "fifi".

    I think the traditional internet acronym is FTFY (fixed that for you) to avoid this confusion.

    What do you think of that 23 mile beltline path loop they’re trying to finish? I just saw it on the ‘This Old House’ show.

    Tripled my house value. And it's actually really damn fun. Pretty soon, I'll be able to hop on it from my neighborhood and get to all kinds of stuff, including my friends houses, without having to deal with traffic. I think it's genius.

    I got the OE tank to work for me in that same location, but it's pretty awkward. The thing actually looks quite uncomfortable. Your setup is WAY better. (something else to add to my list, thx erik)

    Damn, how many suns you attach to the front of that thing? Also, that IPC looks clean AF. Do you happen to have a link for LEDs or perhaps a how-to? My IPC is all dingy dirty old "white" halogen bulbs. I woudln't mind putting LEDs in there for a crispy white light like yours. Thanks.

    That’s just the fog lights and high beams. Stock h4s (still need to get 100w) and 9012 fog bulbs. All halogen
    The cluster is all stock, just sanded the green off the backside after taking it all apart

    lol. I definitely held that sucker in the bay for quite a while, and mine was really ugly after reforming and over spraying it. This one probably has 40-50% the capacity, but it fits well, so...

    Dealers near me are as low as $109 on a brand new OEM red replacement. At least the description says it's red, there were three parts in the system, one black, one silver, one red. Part number linked above is for the red.

    I hit eBay on a whim and searched for all driver handles from 2000-2006, used. Lots of handles, none are red driver side, avg. price is $45-75. You'll need to swap over your key barrel on install, which hasn't been too tough on other cars I've needed to manage.

    I've got one sitting in my box 'o parts. I've just been procrastinating until I can do the full interior since the door panels have to come off. Then I gotta get it painted and patina'd.
