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

Haha, I didn’t know they were supposed to do that I always thought I had a problem with the switch in mine.

 

I finally got my new interior finished this evening.

 

If I could "like" it twice I would. ^

 

that is clutch!!! what interior did you use out of what vehicle??

 

It’s all 1st gen tundra and sequoia except for the seats and there 2017 Escalade 2nd row with custom brackets

 

Those look pretty sweet and comfortable!!! I do like the idea of buckets in the back!

 

That interior is so much better.

I went for a test drive around town to see how my new brakes work and check for signs of danger. They worked pretty well, granted they're not biting well yet but they stop okay and no vibrations or unusual noises. Pedal does seem to travel a bit further in to stop now, maybe the pistons in the 13wl take more juice than the old ones.

Did notice a little bit of fluid at the brake line on passenger side caliper. Couldn't tell if it was spillage from install or a leak, wiped it off and will keep an eye on it.

 

Today I unplugged the window halfway switch for the rear window.
It took 10 minutes. Totally worth it.

 

So now the window will roll all the way down?

 

The rear window on the double cabs stops halfway on it's way up. You have to let go of the button and press it again to finish rolling up the window. It's kind of annoying in a first world problem sort of way. LOL.

@Jerry311SD, how do you get at that connection and ID it?

 

Ohhh okay , sorry i only have an access cab so no rolling the rear windows down. I really want a double cab though ):

 

Fold the rear seats down.
Remove the plastic panel behind the seats on the back of the cab.
There's a black metal plate on the back of cab held on with 10mm screws.

The connector is on the passenger side about 6 inches from the window motor.
I just unplugged it. Then tested the window to see if it rolled up.
Now it rolls up all the way, no more stopping halfway.

 

Nice! I may have to do this because I live in the first world and it's a problem

 

Do it. Just have to unplug one connector.
Super easy.
I unplugged it and wrapped in a piece of foam and zip tied it to another cable so it won't be rattling around..

 

Installed some WeatherTech front window visors. These are slimmer profile than expected and I’m very pleased. They are they lighter color of the two options available.

 

Oh, that looks familiar!

 

I've recently become obsessed with revising my interior. I want bucket seats and that same center console now, but too many other things to do first damn it. End game... it will come.

Tomorrow I might pop out the stupid window trim things from the door and scrape the black rubber crap off them. Then prep them up and spray them either with paint or bed liner. Also gonna rotate the tires. Maybe find the d-ring I removed from my bed and put it back on too. Gotta wash it too. If I can get most of this done before the wide wakes up and ruins my plans...

 

Nothing is easy with replacing this shitty jbl system. The brackets don’t fit so had to custom mount the rear speakers to the factory and now waiting for another set of brackets for the front. Rear speakers, backup camera and mic are wired up and have power. Now just waiting on the new front brackets and sub enclosure so I can mount and wire that up.

Need to get this finished before taking delivery of my new project car, which will unfortunately take up a lot of time and money away from the tundra.

 

Haven't heard that one before. Does she know you call her that?

 

Hahahahahahaha damn phone

 

This is the danger zone. The ‘wide’.

 

My side window trims are starting to go like yours. Going clean it up and put a quick coat of bed liner all the way around, then finish it off with Rustoleum flat high performance enamel. I’ve done it on some other items and it turns out really nice. The bedliner sticks as a primer and gives a bit of texture/durability. The enamel smooths out the finish/color. Cool combo.

 

Installed WeatherTech sides.

 

Pulled the Weathertechs back off and sprayed the side window trims.
1.5 hours of taping off and 5 minutes of spray painting.

 

Pulled off front tires and sprayed the calipers. Sponge sanded the inner wheel diameter and Fluid Flimed the surface to prevent anymore pitting. Finished off filming the rest of the front frame while the wells were open. Added protection.

 

Did some "easy" maintenance today. Installed new spark plugs. I was happy to see that I had no fouled coil packs with almost 215k. I know these aren't the OEM recommended originals. I decided to give these a whirl.

I love how easy it was to change out the plugs. The hardest part is disconnecting those damn electrical connections. My fingers hurt now. And I need better extentions. Wobbly extensions from Harbor Freight arent that great for retrieving your spark plug tool. They pull off too easily.

The drivers side is more of a pain than the passenger side due to all the extra stuff. It maybe took me an hour tops? I stopped after the first side because it started sprinkling and I erred on the side of caution.

 

Autozone has a nice magnetic sparkplug remover with extension. About $7. Perfect for the job.

You could just pull those ignition coils out without removing their clip connections next time. Pull them out and flop them over. Thats what she said.
