    Morning,

    I purchased my first Tundra, 3 Toyota(100 Series, and Sequioa) this week. It is a 2006 DBL cab with 4wd, and 166k miles. It needs the T-belt and WP done but it came with the Aisin kit.

    Question 1, is that kit the right one?

    It also has the cloth interior that is nice, but my kids want seat covers, camo no less.

    Question 2, Anyone have camo seat cover recommendations?

    I’m in the process of taking all the old man accessories off of it, and I don’t like chrome. I’ve removed the sun shades over the windows, and the old school bug deflector from the hood, but it has the chrome trim around the wheel wells.

    Questions 3-5 can I just unscrew those pieces? Are they double sided tape behind them too? Will there be holes in the outer fender?

    thanks

    Welcome! I recently joined this forum also.
    For seat covers... I did a bit of research and ordered mine from Marathon. https://www.marathonseatcovers.com/...eeMqXtYOA8jcbwaMc_axcWCW9Gh9E8mkaAm0EEALw_wcB
    They are a little pricey, the configuration that I ordered cost $300 for the front pair. They are tailored to the specific seats and take approx 8 weeks to make. Some really good camo patterns to choose from. That link will take you to their offerings for 2000 Tundra but you can enter your vehicle info from there. Nice looking Tundra!

    Which options did you get with your fronts? And is it a canvas type material or what? I like the ability to customize those ones, and if they are a true fit, that’s awesome

    I figured out the chrome wheel well trim. And I washed it. Roof was nasty. Much better now. I’m gonna let it dry fully and then put a coat of wax on. Bonus points it fits in the garage with room to spare (I do have an oversize garage though.

    I kinda cheaped out, not a lot of options. No armrest or headrest covers, the leather is still good on mine. I did get backrest map pockets on both and a front pouch for the driver's seat. I chose Highlander camo which they are discontinuing. Regarding material, I believe it is a Cordura... mine won't be here til mid Dec.

    I was looking at the same options, did you go big or small on the pouches? And how do you like them?

    cordura; I should have known it was a DuPont product!

    They won't get here til Dec. I measured and think I went big on the front pouch to accommodate my pew-pew.
