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

You can hang here with the cool kids.

 

You have 2WD? Might be missing the 4 transmission bolts at the bracket. There was a TSB for this on 05-06 2WD only.

 

Why do you want to know?
Cant be more than the Radio Fuse will let pass thats for sure!
A quick check of that fuse would tell you.
I would guess a stock radio does not draw more than a few amps though based on how most are to me.

 

If you really need to know, put an ammeter in series.

 

It's a 06 4x4 double cab

 

You better run!

 

I fixed a flat on mine,good times.

 

Currently sitting at discount tire getting a rotate and balance as well as them fixing a bad TPMS sensor. I’ll keep the sensors as long as I keep these wheels or while the sensors are still under warranty (6yr/72,000) but after either of those it’s pink wire snippin time!

 

I’ve gotten kinda used to my light. I have no idea what the stupid button under the dash does other than make it solid or flash. When I get my full size spare, I’ll have them transfer the sensor to the new one. That’s why mine is active, the sensor is in the tire in my side yard

 

If it’s solid then a tire is low, blinking means there’s a malfunction.
The tech just came out and said he couldn’t scan my sensors and the lights still blinking. Tried to hand me the keys like the truck was ready.
Geez
they MADE me buy new sensors in 2018 due to legal issues and I never had the light on before. Since then it’s been functioning fine until 2 days ago. This is stupidly annoying

 

Nothing to show but got my truck back.

Exhaust leaks fixed, 4.56 gears installed and front locker installed. Also, was having a leak at the transfer case that got fixed.

Overall, very happy with the results and so glad I didn't go 4.88's. I haven't been able to beat on it yet due to break-in but just normal driving was MUCH better and I feel very confident that the MPG will improve as I don't need to take it to 3k+ rpm's to stay up with traffic.

Will have another report once break-in is complete and I can beat on it a little.

Next step - add a resonator or another muffler as it's just too loud. I know someone said it would be but had to learn! I am thinking about using the resonator off my old setup and just seeing what that does as I have it already so there's no cost.

 

I can get mine to dance and flash at me if I push or hold the button straight under the wheel right at the edge of the plastic trim

 

Sheeeiiit!!!

Just picked this up from a member in town.

What the hell, guys? This forum. So good.

Huge shout out @FrenchToasty

My wife is stoked too.

 

Any time! Your bumper didn’t look to bad!
And it sounds like we need to swap some secret camping spots, @Tundra2 would be Jealous of

 

Daaaaamn, you even get the plastics. Holy hookup, batman.

Meanwhile, I have a recommendation to plug your bumhole if you're interested. Got tired of ppl stealing my Toyota-branded rubber bumhole plug.

I bought one like this - nice thing about it, there's a ring that holds it around the neck of your receiver, so you can just pop out the plug and let it hang while you pop in whatever you need to. This isn't the exact buyer I ordered from, but it's the same looking part. It's pretty awesome.

​

 

Looks like a good idea for places with rain (nope), ice (nope), snow (nope), dust (hell yeah).

 

Pics for reference:

 

Damn your truck is sharp.

 

That's awesome! Did you lock the rear also? What locker did you go with?

@FrenchToasty Did you ever finish your rear bumper? I can't remember.

 

I had no use for it, I almost approached a guy at sportsmans with a more crumpled one than @robabeatle, but he was leaving and with little kids and a wife and I didn’t want to seem TOO weird asking a rando if they want a sweet rear bumper!

 

I only locked the front. Went with an clamshell style as it only works when 4x4 is engaged. The rear has an lsd so I didn't do anything with it.

In hindsight, I've learned more about the LSD and maybe this wasn't the "best" idea as I've heard/read some issues with lsd when the truck isn't planted flat on the ground but it is what it is now so i'll use it this way and see how it works. Upgrade rear if necessary.

I think, for what I want to do, this should be more than enough as I'm not trying to go rock crawling with it. Just off-roading. Easiest path possible as I'm not trying to challenge the rig and/or break stuff. Just enjoy nature!

 

Yeah it’s been done for a bit. Plate lights wired, it’s all functional. Loaded and locked on the last trip to “the lake”

 

Would love to see more pics fitted. Rear/side/open.

Looks great!!!

 

Is that home made or the coastal off-road bumper?

 

Will be a lot better once I find a good deal on some tires with a little more meat! Only got about 10k left in my current pair before things start getting a little hinky.

 

Coastal, slight fitment issues, coastal wasn’t very helpful, thankfully I’m crafty and determined!

 

Thanks!

 

Surprised nobody's called me out on my mudflaps yet. I need to pop those off and get them dark again.

 

Your mudflaps look like ass...

 

Thats pretty impressive. Curious what they could do with the non-vvti, i have the same parts as you.
