What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Hello everyone.
I have been working on my truck (named Sucker Punch by my youngest daughter), and I have been working on some mods.

* Bought new wheels from Vision
* Changed the running boards
* Painted the grill with bedliner
* Painted the truck with beliner at bottom and roof, and OD green the rest
* Blacked out the panels inside
* Redid headliner with black cloth, but will be redoing it with Texas flag
* Did some scavenger hunt at salvage yard and got new shifter knob, tie down track system, among others
* Blacked and refinished steering wheel

Things coming down the pipe:

* New head and tail lights in black
* New Bilstein front and rear with leveling fronts
* Front brake calipers, rotors, and pads upgrade
* Headliner lined with Texas flag
* Rebadging (I painted all badges black) and cool factor stickers

Then mechanical:

* Figure out noise when engaging lo 4
* Figure out why it is pulling to the right even after alignment and tie rod ends replacement

That's pretty much it for now. Loving my Sucker Punch!

 

Wish there were 2nd gens in the Upulls in my area.

 

I got lucky that the yard where I usually go brought in like five "new" 2nd Gen Tundras, cause they had the same two or three for a very long while.

 

Yeah, some dont like cutting into a perfectly good vehicle. Me, if it will make my life easier, Ill do it. Last night was the first time I used the lights (truck has been parked in the garage with nowhere to go), and they work very well. 10pm, heavy rain, no problem seeing the entrance.

 

Yeah, i think i'm gonna go down that route, i dont really have anything red on the outside anyway. Now the only think to figure out is how to do such a neat outline around all the round edges

 

painters tape and an exacto knife

 

I want to do the same mod when it warms up outside. How do you like that brand? How helpful are the lights? Seems like Nilight is the other preferred brand for a cheap, decent quality light.

 

Yeah, that was my initial idea, but i know how it'll look in the end with my hand-eye coordination. haha. i guess we'll have to start with a few beers to keep the lines straight

 

I just upgraded to leds in my reverse lights and my bed cargo light from headlight revolution and now its like daytime back there with my reverse lights on. no cutting necessary and easy install

 

Ive had good luck with MicTuning in the past, so I decided to go with them again. One note in them though, the way the bumper curves every which way, you will be limited on placement to get them sitting relatively flat. A single row would be easier to do and would also allow you to use the curve of the bumper to aim them a bit.
I would actually suggest the single version of these. If the ones I put in my bumper dont last as long as others Ive used, I will make a patch panel and swap over.


I will take a picture of the reverse lights on the bumper tonight. Woking on the trailer, so cant move it to show output at the moment.

No lights.

OE reverse lights.

New lights.

 

Added GFC and decked drawers
Next posting will for sure be less glamorous...add a leafs for new weight
Lol

 

haha. I was wondering why you posted a picture with no lights twice. So much for OE reverse lights. Thanks for the pics!

 

Yeah. OE lights dont put out enough for the camera to focus. You can kinda make out that there is something there, but the LEDs bring it to life.

 

nice setup !

 

I had planned to install a new set of Michelin Defenders the end of this Summer, but a brand new set of take-off LTX M/S2s popped up on Craigslist - I figure I saved myself at least $500.00 that I can put towards my ARH purchase.

 

I think costco is running a sale on michelins now

 

Put her through her paces yesterday. 14' 14,000lb gross weight trailer full of deck debris. 4wd drug it through the mud like nobody's business!!!

 

Amazon has the identical tires I purchased @ $130.00 each ... I don't have a costco in my area.

 

Looks badass! do you have anything extra for the read suspension? The sag doesnt seem to be too big with all the load in the back. Especially on dirt.

 

Heck yeah. That’s a good picture. Makes me want to go haul something in my truck now.

 

Nothing crazy, new wipers installed.

 

Lubed the 4wd actuator.

 

I got a new crusin bud today

1/2 border collie
1/4 malamute
1/8 Shepard
1/8 rotty

Real calm and sweet, scored webbed feet from the malamute. Tested mid range on the aptitude test. Should be a good pal for us

 

That is one gorgeous pup! Wish him many happy, healthy years to come!

 

Ripped out HID fog lights and installed LED, gave my bae a car wash
