Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Sweet Trucks ...

 

My 05 Green Doublecab. Bought it with 197k on it. Currently 214k. Best truck I've had so far, minus my diesel.

 

Do it!

 

Build thread coming soon? Please ??

 

Sweet lights on your 03 codeman 7272 what kind of lights are they

 

It's nice that the black headlights with turn signals started showing up again in the last 4 years. They were super hard to come by before.

Good looking truck.

 

Headlights are Spyder from carid.com and Led light bars are xprite from Amazon.

 

Thanks and yeah it took a little while to find what I was looking for. Not much to choose from for first gens!

 

Nope, it's really a shame these trucks don't get much attention. I have the same ones but found on Ebay a while back, took the buckets apart to install projectors and paint the rest black. I really like the ember on the signals against the black background.

 

Same here with the amber makes them stand out. How hard was it to take on the projector project.

 

Hardest part was finding a day when the wife was out, if she saw me sticking headlights in the oven all hell would break loose!

It's a game of patience. Tricky part is once you have the lenses off you need to install them on the truck to clock the projectors and check the aim, them take them off and seal the lenses back on. I made it a weekend project mostly because I needed daylight to install the harness and nighttime to set the aim. Pretty easy really.

 

2005 SR5 TRD 130k 7” of lift, 35 12.5 17 kanati trail hogs on ion 171s. Leather heated seats, sunroof,power rear window, JBL, pioneer head unit, overhead DVD, Flowmaster super 44 with resonator tip. I’ve only had it a week so I’ll have more mods coming soon. Retro style roll bar, front receiver with 10k smittybilt winch in a removable winch tray among some other things. First Tundra.

 

Very nice double cab

 

Thank you

 

Nice truck! Looks like you have the 6 inch RCD lift kit in the front. Does it have a body lift as well? Did you buy the truck with it lifted all ready? If so, that's a good find. I have the same lift kit on my 03 access cab. It is a very well designed and quality lift kit.

 

I don't have a 1st Gen but you guys have some beauties!

 

Thank you. Yeah the lift was already in it so I’m not sure of the brand. It does have a body lift as well. Looks like 3” there. I haven’t measured anything yet. The thing is really up there.

 

From what it looks like in the pic it's the RCD. Does the drop bracket look like this? It should also have twin link anti-compression struts. If you can see these two main components it is the rcd lift. If so that's a good find. If you bought that lift kit it's about $2,500 and if you paid to have it installed the estimated install time is 13 hours. Do you know if your truck has been re-geared for the 35 inch tires?

 

Hey thank you! Yes it does have the drop down brackets just like yours. Everything looks exactly the same.
I can’t say if it has been regeared. It doesn’t seem to struggle at all is all I can say. It’s a lot faster and has a lot more power than my 98 4Runner had on stock wheels. What is the stock gearing on one of these trucks?
The previous owner has 3 switches installed also. I have no idea what they are for. Not sure if he had some off road lights or if he had some aftermarket lockers put in there

 

Right on. I'm not sure what size gear's the 05 has. But if it doesn't feel sluggish and the shift points seem to be correct then it probably has been re-geared. Do the switches do anything when you push them? Do you see any lights turn on or hear anything? Your best case scenario would be if one switch operates an air compressor and the other two switches operate front and rear Locker. Have you seen an air compressor on the truck? Or even a small blue airline tapped into the diff?

 

I believe factory 05 double cab had 4.10 gears. The older Tundras with the 4 speed auto normally had 3.91 gears.

 

Sweet ride!

 

New wheels and tires installed last weekend. 2018 4Runner TRD OR wheels with LT265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. Bilsteins are going up front here this weekend.

look at the axle code it’s probaly A03A (3.91 open diff) that’s what every double cab except for one I’ve encountered has been. A01A is 4.10 open diff these are the only two codes I’ve actually pulled gears on to verify so I can’t say on other axle codes but it seems tundras and sequoias have different gear codes on these than previous Toyota’s.

 

I’ll make 2, I’ve got A03B. LSD baby!

 

That's interesting, I wonder if theres a regional thing at play. I've seen lots of 05-06 DCs with 4.10.

The cool guys run run 4.56 anyway

 

Yeah

That doesn’t count lol yeah I forgot about the b code option for limited slip

 

The really cool guys run the Kazuma LSD
