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

Why would you say no?

 

Sweet look. Are those 20” wheels or the Factory 18”s

 

Thanks! Factory 18s

 

Just got back from an 1800 mile trip. Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska and Utah then back to Idaho where we started. First long trip in the truck since I bought it. Dobinsons IMS suspension did great. Truck got 17mpg at best, 12 at worst due to high winds. Average of 15mpg. Transmission temp pretty steady at 180. 161K miles on it now.

 

Love this! Where did you get the knob and boot?

 

Got the lower ‘wing’ tubes cut, coped, and tacked on today.

 

Where did you get those? Are they TRD red or Barcelona? Thanks.

 

Thanks. He can't sell the decals for the i-force badges anymore.....Toyota didn't like it I guess.

 

You're a much better fabricator than I am. I've been working on my my bumper after work this week too.

I need to add lower tubes like that to mine. I'm afraid it'll fold like a lawn chair if I don't.

 

That's a bummer! Even though they were a PITA they really are nice. Seem to be holding up quite well too.

Thanks @Wynnded for digging up the info.

 

Replaced the blue hella trumpet horns with some Fabin horns. The low tone hella keeps getting water in it at the car wash and I only get high tone for 3-5 days if I don’t wash it, which I do 1-2 times a week since I have a wash club membership. Hopefully these last

 

I found these on Market place. Picked them up today.

 

Man I've seen people skimp on buying the OEM lug nuts, but mounting them with a ratchet strap is a new one.

 

Put these alpharex pro tail lights in today. Had a hard time finding some tailights i liked. These alpharex are ok. Need to be brighter for the daytime though imo. Had to find something to go with the morimoto headlights.

 

Like the overall look of your truck.

 

Thank you. Color matched everything except the limited grill. My First Toyota. Went from a superduty to this. Big change lol. Liking it so far

 

Shoveled all the snow off of the top of it. Staging to replace the engine

 

Wow.

SPP

 

More work tonight

 

What I did to my Tundra today... I forgot to put the wheel brake on the double stroller and it rolled out of the garage all the way down the driveway and ran into the driver side bed and put a dent in it...

 

Thank you! If you’re looking for more strength; tubing is always going to be stronger than re-bar. Rebar is soft and heavy, but it should definitely keep the brush off.

Good on you for taking on your own bumper.

 

Finally made a decision on which suspension upgrade to go with and ordered the 2.5 aluma toytec kit from Toytec. Rear shocks and leaf pack are back ordered but David was great to talk to and led me to believe they would only be a couple weeks out. Can't wait to get these 5100's and spacers off.

 

Cleaned the throttle body today. She was dirty. Nice and clean now and truck feels great. Also cleaned the MAF. And added 10oz of LubeGuard red. And greased the driveshaft.

 

Installed a tonneau cover, changed the oil and replaced the interior and back-up lights to LED’s. I wish I could replace the cup holder bulbs to LED’s, but can’t figure out how to get to them without removing the whole console and that’s just not worth the time. I do like the tip on using duct tape to remove the wedge style bulbs.

 

Cup holder bulbs?

 

I'd love to get the black badges for my Tundra as part of my chrome delete project, but the Amazon link doesn't include the SR5 badging.

 

PlastiDip.. Durable, cheap and easy!
