I'm considering getting back into a 1st gen.

This makes me want to tell you to go AC. My 22 4 door with 35's just is not fun running around town in. Parking is a pain in the ass, and it has a much better turning radius than a 1stGT. I find myself choosing the 2000 AC over the 2022 most of the time. With my short wife and an 11 and 3 YO girls I get no complaints in the AC. How big are your kids? How often would it be the kids and the wife with you? My wife says she doesn't mind the smaller size... wait. what?

 

My only gripe about the AC was the size of the rear 'seat' if you can call it that.
My last GF had 3 kids . . . 2 of them were fine back there till about 10 years old, after that it was a forget it.
It's a decent size crap-trap though.

 

if your looking for a 2002 Tundra with a little moar power, I was thinking of selling my Supercharged AC tundra as I just dont drive it enough to justify having it. DM if interested

 

Ooooh I think I see it and it's an AC too, and in the best color and best grille available eh? How's the frame? How many miles?

 

Oh yea forgot I posted those xD, kinda old photos now, changed afew things since them. Like 90% of the frame is mint but there is some like layer separation in the regular spot by the rear wheels, on 66k miles!

 

Wow! TRD carger. That'd be awesome. Got Amy pics? Location?

 

I believe we arnt suppose to post like sale links on the forums so I've posted one on my profile with more information and pictures.

Sadly it is only RWD and located in Ontario Canada but is in MPH.

 

Yup typically over here: https://www.tundras.com/forums/tundras-for-sale.100/

 

My brother just got an 06 DC. I’m really interested to see/feel the difference between my 00 with 4.56, long tubes and 33s vs his stock 06.

 

hold on now...at some point the 2uz goes from 9.something to 10.something compression ratio. Theres bound to be a difference.

 

Pre vvti was lower compression. 05-06 are the higher compression


Example is the 05 Avalon was 280hp vs my 06 being 263. They just changed how engines were dyno’d to show power figures

 

But still, that extra compression is doing more work. Maybe needs premium. Plus why introduce vvti unless you're going to cut the cam steeper for the V.E. And move it this way in that powerband, and that way for this powerband. I know they raised peak torque rpm, which was kinda dumb for a truck.

 

They likely raised compression to help power, but more likely to help emissions since the Vvti allows them to do other fun stuff. Either way, the 2uz was unchanged from 05 to the end of its life other than 07+ having the air switching valves moved to the valve covers

 

Think id prefer the simpler early hentai 2uz over the complex freedom 2uz

 

Eh. The systems pretty simple. I’ll take Viti over non Any day.

the air pump sucks. But easily bypassed

 

I had an 01 AC and an 06 DC and I agree with everything here. 06 interior felt put together better.
