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

Sunday easy today...New personalized Arizona "Route 66" license plate mounted. Cleaned and vacuumed the interior in anticipation of the new Wet Okole front seat covers. Scrubbed the interior of the stock airbox clean and soaked and brushed the AFe permanent air filter, solar dried it in warm sunshine and reinstalled.

 

That's one way to make a 1st post ... throw a SC in everyone's face to get their attention

But the two things I noticed ... what's with the horns, and that intake tube?

Welcome to the forum!

 

Lot of flexing going on here. I like it.

 

Welcome. Nice truck and SC! The dream

 

They're Hella (loud) horns...True Eurotrash "pay attention to me" sound.

The Airbox mod was a very early attempt at giving the box two inlets. One in the front of the box along with the original intake. I have a cap to screw on if needed or wanted. Not sure of any benefit, but in the early days we were looking for anything that produced mythical horsepower. Live and learn as they say.

 

Nice!

 

Just got mine in the mail today, the oem horns are a joke.

Welcome!

 

Bet you'll approach your next Fluid Filming a little differently - a little more target-focused.
The bed-ectomy is a great learning on how/where to F.F.

 

I'm certain @Tundra2 did some bed fab to address rot. ...I think.

 

So much going on here & yet I find myself jealous of the gray + cloth + bench seat.

 

This at least is on my existing bed, and not the new one but it is concerning how it might have spread to the frame in that area. Will know more soon enough I guess.

Planning to try and clean that one bolt up with some phosphoric acid.

 

Hubba hubba

 

Gat dang son! Lookin' nice!

 

Every once in awhile I allow myself the luxury of not thinking big brother is watching.
Then Youtube recommends a video that just proves "they" have been listening to my posts on Tundras.
So here's one for @jpink and @FirstGenVol

What intake do you have? Been looking for the Airaid Jr kit for my 04 Sequoia but their discontinued.

 

I know K&N had a very similar kit to the airaid. Not sure if it's also discontinued or not. If you can't find the smooth tube, another option is the Volant CIA. It has it's own airbox.

 

Yes K&N does have a kit but its for the VVTI models 05+. I want the air intake tube keeping the stock airbox.

 

I get that. But I believe the Volant is a great alternative and might be the only available option

 

Just checked AEM. No love for an 05 V8.

 

i had to buy the full airaid intake kit to get the tube... the jr tube is used in the full intake..

 

Ditto, this is kinda why I was asking earlier. I’d like to ditch the stock elbow for something that flows smoother and looks nicer. And keep the stock air box/OEM filter. But I have an ‘06.

 

Interesting I didn't know that. Those full kits are available. Can you share a picture?

 

The K&N kit is available for that year.

 

The part # you need is AEM 28-20387 DryFlow Air Filter available on Amazon.

 

The 2000 model year horns are junk, they changed them to what I'd consider "regular" two tone horns in 01

 

Wrong Part # my bad. This is the correct one AEM 28-20144 DryFlow Air Filter

 

trucks not at home right now so cant go grab one. but if i get home early enough tomorrow i can grab one

 

Yeah, don’t want the K&N kit. Dyno testing has shown losses using the K&N kit for our trucks, at least with the K&N filter inclusive. And users report a shitload of gunk build up in the TB/intake/MAF from the oiled filter. I’m just interested in the arm alone. Maybe just the K&N elbow is OK but the design is pinched at one point which is a turnoff.

 

I'm glad I bought my Airaid when I did. They seemed to have discontinued em like right after. That being said, I also highly regard my Volant. Both are great.

 

@empty_lord mentioned above that the elbow alone from the full Airaid kit will fit with the oem box. I might go that route but $299 just for the elbow in pricey. Same part number for all years 513-163. The Aem filter is available on Amazon part # 28-20144. 1 left in stock. I'm running that exact filter on my 03 GX470 and 04 Sequoia
