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

I was just thinking the same thing

 

Looks similar to what Dan @empty_lord painted his ?

Go Vols

 

Oof. And I thought I was the first one to do it. (Probably am for a reg cab.)

 

A guy on my 4r page did a 4th gen, it looks really good

 

Took it to a shop to get an alignment as ever since I de-leveled it the steering has been squirrelly. I hate taking it to a shop for anything but alignments are the one thing I can't do in my driveway. Turns out the OTHER inner tie-rod end is also bad, they one I didn't replace. Ugh. back to work.

 

If I get an mr2 for my spare 3.5 engine it will be painted cement grey.

 

Did you see any benefit from that Airaid Jon?

 

You still are! It's the Lamborghini equivalent of cement. The previous owner had it done 2 years ago, but it's not the Toyota version.

 

Hard to say. I think maybe a little on the top end. K&N has a very similar set up and they have a dyno video with a first gen tundra claiming 9hp gained.
I feel like this mod would work best in combo with long tube headers and/or a supercharger.
Edit: I have noticed I can light up these 33s if I mash it around a corner from a stop. Not sure if that helps

 

My tailgate handle broke off in my hand the other day. So while I'm replacing it I thought I would mount a camera while I'm in there.
It'll be a little bit before I get it hooked up; still need to buy the mirror.

 

Oh man, you guys got rowdy and I missed it? Time to stir the pot.

Moog LBJs are the best.

 

What camera did you do with?

 

Well hooked up all the wires for the radio on my 2015 Camry radio, success, all functions work (sans nav, don’t have the module, but it could work just by plugging that in and an antenna)

Wheel controls work, Toyota microphone mounted on the gauge cluster bezel clear as day even when driving, sound? Excellent, radio? Getting full HD radio, all in all it looks like this will work out well, just need to get a backup camera and get my reverse input. Going to see if I can get the vehicle speed into the radio too to use the fancy mpg functions. (Doubtful)

 

Nardo grey? That was one of my choices. Or stealth grey from ford.

 

Had to dig around for a downside mount camera while avoiding a plastic camera housing. It's pretty heavy considering how small it is and came with everything needed (other than the video source of course). Folks seem to give good reviews to this company; should do exactly what I need it to do.

I'll provide feedback once I get everything installed (probably toward the end of the year).

I like mine. Doesn't seem to get in the way of anything. It did get filled with snow after I parked it with the a$$ facing the wind. Not a big deal though.


I got the passenger side mostly mounted. Still needs a couple more bolts and some inside the frame stiffeners. I had my harbor fail drill engage cruise control and try to rip my finger off. It broke my sharp 1/2" bit so I broke the cruise control button. Seemed like a fair trade.

 

Nice clean camera install; thanks for sharing!

 

Same one i purchased. I got two and one was backwards and I'm pretty sure that's one I'm running now.

 

Kobalt for the win!! Do you have copper state nut/bolt in UT? Brute bits are my fave from them!! Double ended 1/8” “sheeters” are my all time fave. The hi speed hole saws are unstoppable, untill you loose a tooth

 

Not sure if we have one of those. I usually get my hardware from a local place called bolt & nut. I just dug in grandpa's old box and grabbed a 1/2" bit that is probably 50 years old and tuned it up with the grinder. I'm not great at sharpening bits, but I'm better at that than planning ahead to get new ones or liking when I have to pay for them.

 

Okay guys need a little help or feedback I got a 06 tundra Crew cab limited with the 3-inch front 2 inch back lift leveling kit. I've been running the general grabber at2 and 285 70 17 with no rubbing issue. At2 apparently measure at 32.7 tall and 11.5 wide. I'm going be installing the BFG ko2 in 305 65, which are 32.6 tall and 12.2 wide. Any you guys currently running 305/65? Also have 2" wheel spacers and I'm using my stock wheels. Pics or any feedback is much appreciated.

 

I would expect cutting will be needed to fit those. My 315 70 17 took some pretty major cutting and what not to clear the firewall. Pics and details in my build linked in my signature if you're interested.

Well, another frustrating day working on the turdna. Still chasing dine this vibration. I decided I’d try replacing the rear u joint. I got it out only to realize I ordered the wrong ones. On top of that, it started to snow so I’ll be driving my lowered car to work tomorrow in the middle of a blizzard.

 

It's kind of apples to oranges, but my 05 Crew Cab has a level and 275/65r20. It's 34" and 10 wide, no spacer. There are rub marks on my frame, and I have to replace the front right speed sensor as the tire caught it in a sharp turn.

 

This guy really needs some help!




Go smaller or get the saw out!

 

Pretty funny. Here we are discussing this mod and a couple minutes later I notice this gem on our local classified site. https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/58282337

 

Is there an echo in here?

 

Please do, would like to have your feedback concerning night clarity compared to the below negative review.
