    Looks like it. The nuts/bolts are still attached to the underside.

    At least they're still in the right neighborhood.

    Added the Info button selection to get the mpg since mine is SR5 and only the limited had that option at that time. It was just a swap took less than 2 minutes.

    Indeed! Never made any sense to me. Why spec 2 different t-case types, 2 different 4wd computers, and 2 different length front drive shafts when you could have had only 3 parts for both vehicles? I don’t understand why they “crippled” the Tundra with the tcase it has, when they could have made the driving experience nicer for us too. The reardrive shaft is something crazy small, almost insignificant like 1/8” different in length and so it has to be trimmed. The 4wd computer is plug and play and then you just add the button for lock/unlock. No way the tcase is any less robust than the one in our trucks....the power plant hooked to it is the same. If I had the money to swap it to the AWD t-case I would

    The upscale vehicles (Sequoia/Land Cruiser) always get more options.
    The difference in regards to the rear driveshaft is due to it being two-piece on all the Tundras with the exception of the RCSB (Sequoia/LC are one-piece as well). On the Double Cab and Crew Max, the span from the TC output to the carrier bearing is fixed, and with the AWD TC being 1.25" inches longer, that segment requires modification. The front driveshaft does not require modification, personal preference. I haven't looked into the cost of doing this lately, but other than labor, the cost is likely less than or equal to the cost of a new set of wheels and tires. :sawzall:

    Hooked up a Gen I Hewitt bypass on my truck. I didn't have the problem with the AIP but wanted to install it as insurance. It was very easy overall. The hard and time consuming part was deciding how to hide the unit and route some of the wires.

    Broke the ABS sensor bolt. Nothing but rust holding that thing together. There may be enough sticking out to grab hold of and extract. Once I get the sensor out....

    Anybody know that bolts size? T5 sensor retainer bolt.

    Edited to add: You don't even need to remove the ABS sensor to do the ECGS bushing install, no matter what some write-ups say :mad:

    2007 Tundra Limited, 2 wheeler. So, I’ve done Rims, Tires, Toyo Open Country AT3, 285X55 R20’s, Bilsteins 5100’s, leveling kit, shorty antenna, weather tech Matt’s ( not happy with these, the fit sucks ) console Vault, TRD rear sway bar, ordered my Dirty Deeds exhaust, pining over the AMP electric running boards but now looking at the BeStop electric running boards far, far cheaper. Needing some help deciding on front and rear lights, something plug and play? Thanks

    F me.....After driving the bushing in I grabbed the axle, threaded on the axle nut to protect the threads while installing it back into the diff. A few whacks with a couple of 4lb devices....no joy. Went to unscrew the nut and now it needs an impact to come off. WTAF? Threads look fine but now I may be in the market for a new CV I guess.

    i’ve been debating swapping out the Rock Warriors for something darker, really partial to the fuel beast in that DARK “bronze” color.

    I have an '08 SR5. It's had the Info button since I bought from the original owner.

    Based on his extensive documentation he never added the button. It must have been there when he bought it from the dealer.:notsure:

    I’m in Ca looking for opinions on front and rear lighting. Some of it looks pretty intimidating. Plug and play isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

    Toyota can seem pretty random with what they outfit a vehicle with sometimes.

    The idea just occurred to me. Some large diameter heat shrink tubing and hit it with a hair dryer. If it doesn't give you the look you're seeking, you can remove it with that razor blade that's sitting on your map pocket cover that I can see in your picture.
