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

Should I run general grabber at2 or bfg all terrain?

 

I have the General AT2 in a 295-75-16. Very good tires. I like them a lot. They measure out to 33.4 X 11.6-16 they look great on the truck.

 

Maybe i run something like that so i can have less scrubing and less cost

 

Here it is.

 

Looks good

 

Do you do off-road mud and gravel much?

 

Gravel, loose dirt, some mud. Nothing I'd consider off road. With the different terrains I've had it in, I've had no problems. The Generals DO pick up rocks though. Everytime I go down my girlfriend's driveway which is heavy gravel and dirt I pick up rocks. Get out on the road you can hear them in the tires. They spit them out though once you get some speed.

 

I'm going to be mostly doing gravel, snow and a little mud

 

They're great for what you need. They're a bit cheaper than the BFG's too.

 

Fog light mod.

 

What is that?

 

Now my fog lights work with the DRL’s and high beams.

 

Oh, nice. I was wondering if there was a model to be able to use the fog lights with just the parking lights.

 

Just rattle caned the mirrors black

 

I just started up my truck and it is making a loud squeaking belt sound. Anyone have an idea what it is? It's a 2000 tundra sr5 trd with the 4.7 v8

 

Could be the serp belt itself. Could be and idler pulley or the tensioner itself.

 

I poured water on the rib side and it stopped squeking

 

Is the squeak back yet? A new serpentine belt is less than $20 and comes without squeaks.

 

Cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor.

 

Drove it. Put gas in it. Later, I'm moving furniture. My builds on hold until I get back to work.

 

It hasn't came back, I had it for only two days then it was gone

 

Replaced factory grill that I painted black with a new powder coated steel mesh grill.

Before:



After:

 

Best Satoshi I’ve seen on a 1st gen, nice work! More info please. Any pics of the back where the mesh mounts?

Lower grill next?

 

Thanks, not sure what satoshi is though lol.

But sorry didnt take any pics of the back, but the whole thing took like 5-10 minutes to install. Everything bolted right on just like OE, no cutting or drilling.

 

I had my windshield replaced today. Sonabitch truck drivers not sweeping off their decks. The biggest drawback to living in a resource town like I do is the commercial truck traffic. I've grown to develop an irrational hatred of big rigs. The truck drivers around here are irresposible, dangerous and downright criminal most of the time. Thanks to them, I have to replace my windshield at least once a year.

I'm also sourcing and pricing out tonneau covers and boat racks. Looks like I'll be going with a Bakflip G2 and Adarac rack for the boat. I'll probably pick up a BakBox later this summer too.

Then that means I get to buy Quick Fists to mount my shovel in the bed instead of having it on the floor of the back seat.

 

Where did you pick it up, if I could ask?

A Satoshi grill is exactly what you have. A guy in japan, Satoshi Miura, modified the grill on his 3rd gen 4Runner similar to this. 4Runner and Taco owners here fell in love and this mod became extremely popular. Take a look at the grills on the 2019 TRD pro line up, aftermarket mods have become standard design.

Here’s a link for a 4th gen runner. I was half way through this project on my 07 when I unfortunately rolled her. Haven’t seen many 1st gen tundras done.

 

Interesting thanks for the info. I was going to try to do it myself, but then found one on Amazon.com

This is the one I got: http://a.co/a9bbVKo

 

I’ve seen that one. Not a bad price! How’s the fitment?

 

Fits great no issues at all, just as good as stock IMO. I saw the one review someone left on Amazon about it sticking out abit at the bottom. But that was not the case with me.
