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

Not sure if it is year specific and it's been so long since I set mine. Found a few you could try. The one below I think is what I used for my 03 but I believe the 05-06 had a different code. Link below has more to try if this one doesn't work.

I just installed a backup camera when i did my stereo overhaul. Started off just wanting the camera then snowballed from there.

In regards to the Brute Force bumper, pm @toyotech2016.

Those are gonna look badass! I like that style.

 

Trying to get them mounted on Monday.

 

Today I stuffed some led pods into my fog lights.
Wired them to the normal fog light bulb. I just removed the glass buld and soldered the led pod to the 9006 connector part of the light bulb. That way I don't have to cut my wires on my truck. Had to take apart the foglight assembly and stuff the square led into the round fog light assembly. Lol
Sealed everything up. Looks good .I'll post a night picture in a few hours.

 

Night shots. Shitty driveway shots


First pic .Led headlights

Second pic. Led headlights and fogs.

 

Looks a bit high. I'm in San Diego tonight and happy that the warm humidity just left.

Interested to see how you connected that.

 

Got some led bulbs for that running light in the headlight. Bulb number 194. And so that im LEGAL, i ran my fog light wires back up, and put my fog lights in the headlights, that way i can overpower the red with some bright leds, will get pic of that in the morning.

 

My driveway is up hill.
I'll try to get a decent level shot at night

 

New plugs, PCV, air filter, rear diff fluid, and oil change. Bought it almost a month ago and feels good to start fresh.

 

Just pulled all the seats out gonna shampoo the carpets

 

I installed a backup camera in my truck going to an older pioneer double din. It works great no problems and the look on someone's face when I back right to the trailer perfect every time makes it worth it. I will grab some pictures today.

How was the install, which did you use.
I am about to order.

Wanted to know what you used, i am gonna go with new double din head unit and backup camera

 

That was before and here is after.
It amazes me how this makes a car smell so much better!

 

The install is easy just take your time. Ran everything down the drivers side up along the frame and used an existing grommet to get into the cab. The camera is the Ibeam TE-BPCIR I got it on Amazon for about $40. I would recommend using a camera that has the IR built in I have always had better luck with them at night. I had an old Pioneer Z110 laying around so I used that for the deck.

 

Anybody know how to fix a lazy seatbelt?

 

Give it some coffee?

But seriously, try cleaning the belt and it might help. Haven’t experienced this issue before.

 

I sprayed wd40 in the sides of the roller. Didn't really help. The last bit of the belt keeps going slow. It is kind dirty so I'll try cleaning it.

 

I have heard from several sources that this is a ridiculously common issue with Toyotas, even across models and years. Like, "Tundras are amazing except for the gas mileage and the seat belt retractors", so much that I am baffled the issue wasn't resolved. Maybe I just happened to talk to the few people with bad seatbelt retractors.

Edit: I should add that mine suck, too, which is why this caught my eye. I'm also interested in a solution, other than replacing the whole unit.

 

Haven't had the lazy belt problem, but to be fair I spent years rarely wearing the belt. Married life changed that, she wants me to live long so she has somebody to torture.

 

Drove it 150 miles today been sitting for 3 months. Went to see my artist today..

 

Check out this video. It might help.

Found a pair of these. Not sure how to wire them, no instructions

When I get back from my trip I'll install one to run my backup lights. Planning to eventually put some lights where the bed meets the rear window later so switch #2 is for that.

 

Bottom lead should be 12v..
Middle lead is negative. ( for the light on switch)
Top lead should be load.

Some switches are marked load and source..

Some switches use gold as 12v and bottom for load.

Edit i hate when switches are not marked..

 

I'll try that, thanks. They're marked 1, 2, 3 lol. Tried downloading the instructions but the site says I need a valid email address. Only thing worse than unmarked switches with no instructions is buggy websites.

 

One should be 12v
Two ground
Three should be load.

I hate manufacturers like that..

 

So this happened today...
