Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Thanks! Man, I need that, but it's gonna be talking the Mrs. into a truck box, or new wheels, I think I'll have better luck with the box, though.

 

I hate posting after myself, but since I just realized I hadn’t posted mine up in here yet...

 

I love that grill. Super clean truck

 

Thanks! Yeah they are 295/75r16 so according to tire calculator it's 33.4x11.6 inches. I've yet to actually measure them myself though.

 

Thanks I searched for a while I wanted the trd 4runner wheels with grey accents instead of black found them on craigslist for $200

 

Thats a great price. Score!

 

Nice new kicks. Looks good. I've always liked white with black rims.

 

Remind me your suspension set up?
My goal is to fit 33's on my truck without having to spend a fortune. I'm hoping OME coilovers will be enough.

 

Toytec boss coilovers with 650lb coils, SPC UCAs, bilstein 5160s and wheelers off road progressive AAL, removed the stock overload leaf. I haven't adjusted the coil overs yet. But it sits pretty level for now. I did have to trim some plastic and metal in the front wheel wells to be able to turn. I suspect I'll need to actually trim the front bumper in order to do any serious off roading, but it's good for now. The tires rub frame on full lock.

My buddies 01 just has Bilstein 5100s all around and progressive AAL. But on stock coils. He runs 285/75r16s on stock wheels with spacers.

 

Winter time country blues with the new grille.

 

Another day of volunteer work at our local pet shelter. Gotta get those kids adopted ASAP.

 

Looks good. Can't quite place the scenery. Looks a little like parts of Florida in the winter.What's that on your roof? XM radio antenna?

 

This part of the country can look like just about anywhere depending on the season. 45 minutes north of here can look like the Bahamas in the summer.

Yep on the XM radio. Just about over it due to all the NFL commercials (suppose to be ad free). Only thing keeping me a subscriber is channel 125 9am-3pm M-F.

 

Whats you setup for suspension and wheels/tire size? It looks sweet and clean!

 

Thank you, at the moment she is running on 265/75/16's on MB TKO wheels w/Chaos center caps, 5100's at 5th notch with a diff drop and an Add-a-leaf that I don't remember the brands of. I think I'll go to 285's and am debating going up to 17" next time I need tires.

 

Here's a before and after picture of my rims; an update with an OEM look.

 

I love this look man! I've got an '05 limited and am going for a similar look. What kind and what size tires you running? Have you done leveled?

 

Thanks, I really like the darker gray rims vs the bright silver that came on the truck (comparison pic).


These are KO2's @ 275/70 17 and leveled the front (can't remember if its 2" or 2 1/2")

 

Anyone have knowledge as to whether our ignition key light rings are illuminated via a replacement bulb or does the entire assembly need replacing? That other thread got me thinking on this. If its a bulb what size?

 

Went outside to get the stink blowed off. Ended up being a nice sunset.

 

Has anyone else seen this? Thoughts?

Without seeing in person and judging solely from this angle, I like the sweet AC Cab and rear end combo. The Taco goofy grille bulge not so much. Like buck teeth on a hot chick. The color is nice and very fresh looking. Some love was put into that thing for sure.

 

Another pic from the other nights modeling shoot. A down the street neighbor complimented on my new grille yesterday out of the blue. Shocked he noticed.

The more I think about buying/switching to yellow fogs the more yellow my existing fogs become.

 

My new to me 2006 DC TRD 4x4 in Blue Steel Metalic (It's my 3rd Tundra, I had a 2002 AC TRD 4x4 Thunder Gray Metallic and a 2005 DC 4x4 TRD Blue Steel Metallic previously). Completely stock at this point...it will be getting a new headunit (I need a backup camera) and heated seats for sure (my back is getting old), but I'm debating right now if I am going to keep it mostly stock and spend some money on my 121K mile '96 4runner limited 4x4 w/e-locker and make it a little more OR capable or sell the the 4Runner and spend that money on making the Tundra a bit more OR capable...decisions, decisions....

 

My completely stock 2001 Tundra Limited 4x4. Obviously acess cab. Finally some good and warmer weather here is MN. Been some cold windchills and cloudy this past week. The darker areas on the truck are from my oil spray on throught the truck to keep the MN salt off my truck (frame, body, rockers, door jams, inside the doors, etc.).

Can you post a picture of your grill, I’ve been wanting to paint mine but havnt had the nads to do so.

 

Here's mine I did a month or so ago. You could always plasti dip it instead. That way you could remove it if you didn't like it. I wish I had done plasti dip. I'll probably go over it at some point.

 

@Filthyphil , take a look at FirstGenVol's picture he just uploaded. Its night time here now, so tomorrow morning. I would also recommend the plasti dip. It is holding up very well for me. One can is plenty enough. Like FirstGenVol, you can remove if it doesnt look appealing to you. We have similar colored trucks though

 

Ok great thanks, yeah we both are thunder grey. I’m not worried about ruining my grill because I would eventually like to get another V8 emblem grill since I hit a deer with my original. But I do have some plasti dip I did my four wheeler 4 years ago and it’s held up great!

 

Looks really slick, I need to paint my trim, I posted a few weeks ago I was going to use a heat gun and it only slightly brought out some color. So it must be too far gone for the heat gun to work.
