Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Still have a long way to go with it and she’s just breaking in with 249k on her.

 

What size/type lift and wheel and tire size?
Nice truck I line the debaging too

 

Bilstine 5100 on the top notch
275/75 BFG on a 17" Method wheels with home made center caps

 

Do you think you could fit a 285?
How’s the ride?

 

It rides nice.
If i put a 285 i might have to do some trimming

Kinda hard to tell without actually doing it lol

 

Big Bear trip.

 

Nice! What size tires and lift do you have?
Trying to gauge the way I’m going to do mine!
Be curious on your wheel offset too.

 

Love the headlights too, are those OEM ?

 

Just got mine in the fall. Since then i've replaced the clouded headlight assemblies with new ones, LED low/high beam and fogs, hard tri fold tonneau and plasti-dipped the wheels black.

 

Here’s my first Tundra.

Did u buy OEM HL and fogs?

 

What size tires are those and do you have a lift?

 

These tires are 285/75-16 KO2 and I cheaped out on the lift for this truck. I have a Cornfed spacer in the front and an AAL in the rear. I just sold it to my buddy and he doesn’t mind the bouncy ride.

Did they rub

 

Just a bit, but it was minimal.

 

no, i had a hookup for free aftermarket headlight assembly, so i couldn't turn that down. the bulbs were aftermarket LED kit.

 

I like the look,would you mind sharing the brand and how do you feel about quality? I have heard various opinions of aftermarket as I’m ready to pull trigger on OEM but they are expensive

 

they're tyc. honestly i didn't read great things about them and i only did them because they were free. i'm not unhappy with them but they are okay only imo. what i should have done was taken pics with the old foggy headlights, put these in with halogen oem bulbs to compare but i was lazy so i did both the led bulb and HL assembly replacement all in one swoop. obviously they are a lot brighter. i've driven behind my wife and no complaints of blinding her. if i had to pay for something and was going to keep it a while i probably would have gone OEM or i've gotten great results from cerakote headlight restoration kit for cheap.

what's the price difference aftermarket to oem? almost double right?

 

OEM is about 240. Haven’t checked aftermarket, as mentioned I haven’t heard positive reviews.

 

GO oem. Previous owner put in one TYC. I will be replacing it and the other brand that I do not recall at the moment. They do not have the same quality cutoff.

 

These are rough country 2.5 lift. Rear has rough country shocks also with blocks on leaf. The lights are cheap ebay aftermarket lights. I just got the clear side lights with it. 285 70 17 nitto grapplers for tires.

 

Here’s my beast. College takes most of my money so can’t really do any upgrades, keeping it stock for now. 240k miles and still running like a fine tuned machine.

 

2002 4wd with leather seats and only 55k miles! What a gem !

 

New to the forum. I've owned many toyotas throughout the years, but this is my first Tundra. 2004 AC TRD 4wd limited with 188k, all stock for now, but already have stuff on order.

 

blends in with the night

 

2005 DC SR5 TRD 4x4, has roughly 155xxx miles on it. Followed a very budget friendly route for the modifications
-1 inch level
-1.25 inch Spidertrax wheel spacers
-305/70r16 Toyo Open Country MTs on stock TRD 5 spoke alloys
-20% Eyebrow windshield Tint, 35% on the front windows
-Painted the front grille pieces, mirror caps, and rear bumper satin black
-True Dual exhaust, stock cats, resonator delete, emptied glasspacks, 5 inch shorty slash cut tips dumped down

 

Looks good. In each picture it appeared to be a different color. What color is it?

 

@FirstGenVol Its blue steel metallic

 

Looks great! What did you have to do to get those tires to fit?
