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

^Truth

 

Better pic. …and to answer a few DMs. Wheels are Method 315,+18 offset. Tires are Toyo 285/75/18. Just the right amount of poke with this offset and tire size.

 

Finally got new wheels for it. 17x8.5 10mm offset Black rhino rapids. For now it's got the old 37's from my other truck.

 

Ticked over 495000km. Team second gen

 

What year is that, and what does that convert to in freedom miles???

 

1 km = 1.609 miles. My math equates to 307,644... Maybe one of the Canadians can correct me though.

 

I would call that close enough... But, backwards, looks like the math is correct just have the units wrong in the equivalency.

 

More accurately multiply the km by 5 and divide that result by 8 = 309375

 

Got tires rotated and balanced and a brake fluid flush. Due for an oil change and new brakes all around which will be next.

 

Thanks for correcting me. Conversions have never been my strong suit.

 

Mine is 2008. Other than wear items, it had a new rad, starter and the largest was a transfer case. Still pulls trailers with lots of power

My conversion app show 307578 miles. Not about to buss out any supporting math equations though haha

 

That's a good looking rig you've built. I really like that arb bumper.

 

I've never seen an ARB bumper installed on a 2nd gen. That looks really good and makes me want one.

 

That's awesome, you've got my '08 beat by about 30k... It just hauls pups around now, but spent some years doing it all

 

Installed Alpine F/R cameras, connected to the iLX-F511 HU. They integrate quite well and provide for different viewing angles.

Front camera with normal view. Front camera has 3 available angles:




Rear camera was fitted into a modified tailgate handle. The rear camera has 4 different angles - the one pictured provides a focused view of the R & L periphery.

 

@OldGuy03
Thanks guys. Just fyi, I modified my bumper but removing the rubber bumperettes and welding the holes then smoothing out. So, technically you aren’t looking at a factory arb bumper

 

Nice! Mine is pretty much just a farm tractor/horse trailer hauler. So when I do take it out for a highway run and get a few miles under the belt it’s a big deal!

 

love to see another regular cab

ps… you might get more traction in the 2.5 Gen thread (for years 14-21)

but don’t let that stop you from hanging out with the cool kids

 

It's actually an 08 with a facelift and bed swap.

 

Your ‘08 is wearing Gen2.5 face?!
Damn that looks good

 

Yes sir, and thanks!

 

Ok that’s what I thought I remembered, but wasn’t 100% on it

totally just saw the ‘17 tundra in your bio and didn’t think anything else

 

Installed GM 102mm throttle body with a D2A converter. Pulls nicely but shifting has to be relearned.

 

Sent my Tundra thru chatgpt.......

 

so do they rub?

 

It would be hard for me to let go of this one already. It should have a rear bumper on it soon too. I need to let the build play out a bit before I let it go.

 

Installed the RCI trans/TC skid and cat guards. Aside from missing hardware and the powder coating being chipped off during its 85 mile stint to my house from RCI, it seems like it just may prevent a would-be thieve! I've already had my cats stolen once, so having something is probably better than nothing.

 

I might be wrong - is that installed right? I assume that is a RCI skid plate. Mine go together and the trans /skid plates are mounted to the bottom of the cross member

 

It looks off because of the lift. The skid plate still mounts to the bottom of the original cross member and butts up to the additional crossmember that repositions the LCAs lower for the 6” lift.
