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

Time to sell it! Nah just kidding. Welcome to the 6 digits.

 

Do our trucks have a cabin air filter?

 

Negative.

 

It's just as exciting the second time.

 

Should be able to check switch leads with multi meter set to ohms.

 

DOOOOOOODE NICE man!!

 

Thanks bud. Been impatiently waiting for these for a very long time!

 

Looks really good. I love bronze on black.

 

The tranny pan bolts are described in in/lb in the Chiltons manual too I was tired/drunk/take your pic when I read them and saw ft/lbs and ignored the inches LOL

 

Did my first mod. Installed some yellow bulbs in the fogs. Man it helped my 5am commute! Got some leds coming soon for the running lights, reverse and license plate. Wheels and tires next weekend. Will post pics eventually.

I need to finally update my scan gauge to read my new trucks trans temp. I filled up the other day and adjusted the amount I filled and now my avg mpg is way too high to be real lol.

 

Well the leds came in today. Now I'm just waiting on wheels and tires. What's the best way to change the driver side running light? Lots of stuff in the way. I was thinking about pulling the battery

 

Easiest is to pull the battery.

 

Moved it from the normal parking spot to the shade.

 

Nah I pulled the coolant reservoir. Way easier than battery.

 

I'd have just removed the entire assembly, there's only one quick push/screw thingy holding it in place.....phillips head screwdriver and good bump with your palm and it comes right out to get to the bulbs....be careful with hyperflash, you may need resistors if you notice the blinker blinking extra fast...there is also a special flasher module thats available for LED conversions.

 

Yeah I'd do the flasher relay over resistors like I did in my taco. Much easier. But I didn't replace any signals with LEDs so it should be fine.

 

Got a tw member to do a quick photo chop of the bumper I want

 

Took mine out and got it muddy after the rain.

 

So this happened this morning

 

I noticed this morning that the lights of my climate controls etc appear to be out. Yay...gotta source LEDs for that now (easy enough) then figure out how to swap them (harder...i'm leery of pulling shit apart).

I was going to do the 5100 install this week but nnnnooooooo, i have to work because the company i work for is run by jackasses who think they own their employees. Mid sept will be when i finally get around to that project.

 

Don't trouble yourself. It's like 5 screws and the whole panel comes off. 2 in the vents and 1 behind each climate knob. From my experience you want at least a 30 lumen bulb or it won't be bright enough.

 

Good to know! Any idea where to source bulbs? SuperBrightLED doesnt seem to have them for the vent controls.

 

I got mine from Super Bright

I used these, but had to modify the bulbs slightly because they were too wide.

If I had to do it again I'd likely give these a try or get some Phillips Vision 194s.
