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

Dropped by my local tire dealer, truck had front end shimmy 40 to 65 mph, felt like an unbalanced tire, the TPMS light was on.

Dealer able to get the truck to see the TPM sensors, dash light now off. Tires rebalanced on all 4 wheels.

Truck now drives smoothly, shimmy problem appears to have been unbalanced tires.

 

New belt, tensioner and pulley.

Oh and an air filter.

Woolwax is a bit dirty, nice when you don’t have to work on stuff.

 

IMO never change the belt without changing the tensioner. I know from experience........

 

Normally I agree. I deaviated from that on our Sienna. The belt tensioner assembly is also the a/c compressor bracket. Its massive and expensive.

At 75,000 miles, I chose to leave it in place.

 

I can understand that Retro......

 

sorry to spam but I use this thing allllll the time now. I can’t believe I was constantly pumping crap up. It fills it so much faster.

Thanks again!!!

 

R&R the side windows bottom edge trim...still waiting for my driveshaft to return.

 

Got a new set of running boards.. on my trip to San Diego.. Beat someone from the OC, if you're on here, sorry man.. Couldn't get appropriate part numbers to replace my damaged brackets, so I needed a new set. $500 to replace the brackets.. These were a bargain

 

More chrome deletion today. Really easy install too. I hope to do a better lift and SS Built bumpers front and rear, but that's for another time.

In prep for installing an Eaton front locker, I finally bought a core front diff w/ 4:30 gears to send to ZUK and get setup for me. Trying to limit the downtime since I'll be doing the swap out of town in our rental and not in my shop at home. I tried to order and willcall from LKQ, no luck, found their ebay listing cheaper than ordering directly and paying shipping.

 

You better call him. His site says no more ship ins, only locals. Figure he wants help picking things up and moving them.

 

Already have and am penciled in for later this month. He did a a 3rd member with a Grip Pro for me in October, his new shop is coming alone nicely.

 

Finally got around to installing RCI plates…installation wasn’t too bad given it was only me and my fat hands. I would defiantly recommend getting an extra pair of skinny hands and flex head box wrench. But I love the look and my cats are now protected.

 

Finally put a usb/usb-c charger in place of the cigarette lighter. Now I want to do all of the 12v plugs too.

 

Is it a direct fit? I have the exact cigarette lighter that I never use and could see myself swapping it out for a USB port.

 

No. I had to take a dremel to it to get it to fit but it wasn’t much. It has a little bit of a flange so if your hole isn’t perfectly round it will cover it up. You could also use a step drill.

 

I've planned on getting that very set of wrenches for the exact same reason!

 

Yea I have never owned a ratcheting wrench set but it’s seems to be a great investment and an awesome tool. Probably going to get the metric set too

 

Not just today but over the last few weekends I installed my bumper winch and lights. Went with the Ironman4x4 bumper and their matching lightbar and Diode Dynamics for the rest of the lights with a Harbor Freight Apex winch.




The small SSC2 pods are wired up to the fog light stalk and all other lights are wired up to my switch panel.

 

I installed a Garmin “Dash Cam Mini 2” today with the hardwire cable that switches it to Parking Mode (aka Parking Guard on the Mini 2). Made for a clean install above the headliner and behind the A pillar trim to the interior fuse box where I add-a-fuse’d into a couple of unused slots.

 

Bought a master switch from 'Cartrimhome' and made all the glass auto-up/auto-down. It's lighted either amber (like factory) or blue. $85.00 shipped. No fires or explosions, install took 15-20 minutes.

 

Just ordered mine. Stayed with Amber since all other lights that color. How long did shipping take?

 

Surprisingly quick Bryan. Had it in a week or so. I stayed with amber too. When you get yours installed, I have a question for you. Let us know what you think!

 

Could you post a link please? I tried going to their website and couldn't find this item for Tundras.

 

Here is the link.

They have three type’s depending on what your current auto switches are like.

 

Thank you! For some reason the site just kept taking me to a message that said "Your cart is empty".

 

I have had mine in amber installed for 7-8 months. Has worked flawlessly so far.

 

How are these working for you?
Do windows really auto up/down with just the switches installed no additional regulators/motors required?
Id like to have auto up/down on all 4 windows as they have listed on their website

 

RCI fuel skid with correct studded fuel tank strap.

 

I just ordered today. @CMikeB mentioned them and has them installed.
