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

Park Road 22, past the visitors center, and onto the beach.

 

Sorry, I meant through which town?

We went through Corpus Christi this time. We've also gone through Port A in the past.

 

Love me some Padre Island!

 

Installed some RGB rock lights.

 

This was kind of a whim purchase. My truck spends 98% of it's time doing highway speeds in Texas. I think the slight reduction in articulation for that other 2% is likely worth it...


Sequoia TRD Front bar is on it's way but not here yet.

 

@Lars dude your truck is badass. First time I seen a full pic of it!

 

Thanks. I'm going to drill five holes through the roof next week, and move some of the bed side mounted antennas around.

 

Installed SDHQ ditch light mounts. Caliraisedled side shooters and Baja designs fogs.

Tucking
the wiring:



Really happy with the end result.

 

Well I drove it to work and keep checking out how great a Tundra looks!

 

Ok so I'm gunna post my updates..

Front TRD sway bar. Rear OME shocks. And also!!!! I wrapped nearly all the AC lines under the hood with this and it makes the AC perform a lot better. Enough for 8 dollars was worth it lol.



And a couple other pics

 

That really helps the AC? Its a great idea and cheap upgrade for sure.

 

I can tell a difference. It is slight but like I said worth 8 bucks and the 20min it took to zip tie it all on. The line right at the firewall was hard to get to but I was able to get it on there.

 

Took her out to the Everglades this morning to prep for deer season...



Remote start install this afternoon, should have done this years ago...

 

How much and how difficult was it

 

@Rica25

I bought one for each of my vehicles off someone who sells them on Tacomaworld. I think the tundra was $250. Most difficult part was taking out the glove box. All wiring was plug and play. Very easy. If you have taken apart your interior before than it is less than 30 mins install. If you aren’t familiar than it could take 60-90 mins just fumbling with things...

Actually I didn’t put the dash back together so maybe I will take some pics of everything involved and post them tomorrow.

 

This is for a 2nd gen. 3x lock remote start, plug and play using factory fob. By Fortin.

2 screws and 1 bolt removes driver side.

1. Remove screw on each side behind steering wheel:

Take those 2 screws out and remove bottom plastic under steering wheel.

2. Remove this bolt:

And use your hands to pull off the ubderdash like so:



3. Remove glove box. Use these pics as reference:








4. Wiring. This plug and play harness is a T harness meaning you unplug the factory plugs, plug in the harness connectors and plug the factory plugs into the harness:
Behind glovebox

Under ignition:

Left side under driver side:

OBD2 connection

Feed the one for behind glove box with coat hanger thru here:


5. Plug in the brain using remaining harness connections and program to vehicle following instructions. Very simple(pressing a button and turning ignition on/off).


Test it out and put everything back together. Use zip ties to run the wiring harness clean and hold the brain in place. Make sure around the steering wheel everything is out of way of steering tilt lever and snug...

 

Do you have a link for this?

 

@Lars

I don’t have a link. I bought them directly from someone who supplies them on tacomaworld. I highly reccomend buying from him, his customer service has been great.

You can contact him:
jmeitz@hotmail.com

 

That is awesome! What actually connects behind the glove box? Is the brain staying on the drivers side or is it run to the passenger side?

 

Finally got mine a proper detail job(hand wash, clay bar, buff, and hand wax).
There is a short bit of woodland Pinstriping on the pass side I’ll need to buff out better, but she is shiny and silky smooth!
I can finally get my blue Pinstriping laid down now!

 

I like those wheels

 

Thank you! They are Factory Rock Warrior wheels! I like them better than the 18’s that came with my TuRD package.

 

Finally no more chrome grill surround!!! The chrome bumpers don’t bug me AS bad but they’ll go eventually.
Found the entire grill for $200 new from dealership. Install took 5min.

 

Do they keep these easily accessible to order? Been thinking about doing this to mine when it starts chipping.

 

Check eBay. These came from a dealership on the east coast of FL that sells them through eBay. But yes the place I got mine from had several in stock.

 

Good to hear. I’ll have to see if they stock the desert sand color.

 

Mounted my new whip flag. Then I cut off these skid plate corner pieces as the tires rubbed at full lock. They were flimsy but would guard the control arm bushings from debris. I’ll cut them for the final tire size later and remount them.

 

Yesterday I got a new, smaller pair of shoes. These will be used 90% of the time since I'm on the highway driving to and from work.
So far the plan is to keep the Rock Warrior wheels with the 315/70 R17s unless someone offers me one hell of a deal for them.




I also got something delivered by a big rig today.

What's in the Box?


Sorry for Potato Photos...

 

The brain stays on driver side. The very first pic under ‘4. wiring’ on my write up is the connection behind glove box.

This one:
