Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Seen a few in this color I like so much, none as awesome as this. Very nice Tantal!

 

You're too kind. Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that you're happy. Your Tundra looks great!

Here's a fairly recent picture of my 2005 Tundra Access Cab with our 18x9" BFD wheels in dark metallic blue:

 

Nice. Now if Toyota would only bring back the OG TRD center caps.......

 

I heard that Toyota had some QC issues with their caps again (just like the original PTR18-35092 caps).

We just recently made some blank caps, and some customers are adding "TRD" decals to them to simulate the look of the OEM TRD caps.

 

My DIY bronze caps before I switched them out last week. Put the TRD logos on, then hit them with clear coat to protect them from rain and the car wash.

 

Looking good!

 

The Metallic blue BFD with your Color looks good. I'm actually debating on the 18/9 BFD for my 05 AC, in Black. What are they, the 0+ Offset and 5" BS? How far are they sticking out, if you don't mind me asking. just seeing how much tire will poke with the flares I have.

 

Thank you!

We're running some really good specials on the matte black 18x9" +0mm offset BFDs right now. My set of BFDs is the older version too (same diameter and offset as the newer version, but not flow formed). I've had my set for about 7 years. The current BFDs are now manufactured with the flow forming process. Flow forming allowed us to keep the weight down while simultaneously increasing the load rating (i.e. the wheels are stronger than before and just as light).

As for the stance - my 2005 Tundra is an access cab SR5 without fender flares. The truck is lifted approximately 2" with coilovers and Total Chaos upper control arms. The wheels are 18x9" +0mm (5" backspacing) BFDs with 285/65R18 Toyo Open Country all terrain tires stick. This setup "sticks out" out approximately .5" to 1.0" past the edge of the fender (when measuring from the top of the fender) depending on whether you're considering the edge of the tread or the outer edge of the sidewall. If you have the factory fender flares (or similar), then the same setup should be "about" flush give or take .5".

 

looks like a prior member here’s truck. @chrisb was his handle I think. Was into Porsches too.

Edit: found it

 

Damn both those trucks looks killer

 

Does this count?

 

TBH, when I see a V6 first gen Tundra, I can't help but think "Congrats on owning a first gen Tacoma with a few extra steps"

 

With a few extra steps

Funny you mention that. My girl friend’suncle both have 1GTs, one has the V6. Always wondered why someone would choose that

 

Taco, gordita

 

@FrenchToasty Tundra on call.

 

5VZFE = God's motor

 

Wish he designed better valve cover gaskets for that motor

 

Thanks for the info! I wanted to do a Blacked-out look, but I'm getting push back and being told to keep what I have. lol not too sure what i want to do.

 

I do like the contrast of those wheels against a dark colored truck. My truck is a lighter color and I like the contrast of my darker wheels against it. I would run machined wheels if not the black ones I have. But not chrome. Never chrome.

 

Same. I cant do Chrome. Just not the style anymore.. for me anyway.

 

I mean, V6 and I6 in general tend to be torquey. V6 also came with manual 4WD. And I have a suspicion they probably came in 5-15% less than the V8.

 

Never thought I'd say this but these trucks look kinda mean without a bumper. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would.

 

For the 2uz too...

 

@Mr.bee would be proud.

 

You god damn tramp! I sweated hard, and long with you putting that bumper on!!! And here you are, all nekkid, and horns out for Harambe head ass!!! WTF!!!

 

Hey everyone! Here's Toothless the 06 Tundra. I know its not much compared to some of yalls, but I have big plans for it. Its come a long way in the past year.

 

Spotted this one today. It has decals of Cardinals on it. New candidate for worst wheels.

 

Really digging that exterior map light.
