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

Gramps got new shoes and a "add a leaf"

 

Those 18” 4Runner wheels look good!

 

Yes, I think that's it. I used my Dremel with sanding drum to make it fit. On mine, the arrow points to front of the truck.

 

Which add-a-leaf did you go with?

 

Wish they had Android auto too, then I'd consider upgrading.

 

It does. Wired only.

 

I went with “torch” and ended up getting about 1.25 inches out of it

 

Some people feel diff't ways about this kind of thing, but your address is visible on the box.

 

Funny, Ive done that before, looked at the phone image specifically for that and didn't see it. Thanks for the heads up @Shifty. I made you a meme, use it as you like.

 

This is one of those things that PM’s were invented for

 

I appreciate it either way. Still, good point - a more discrete opportunity to delete the offending images

 

The welding would definitely benefit from doing them off truck, better access and prettier. But, I welded mine without gloves and kept kept feeling the spindles (not at the welds) for temps and never got above too hot to touch or smoking. Went back and forth, driver/passenger side, and like an inch at a time. They took a weld better warm, as expected.

 

Tell that to the 4 beers I put back before that post.

 

I’ll definitely be removing mine to weld, just not sure if it wouldn’t be worth cutting my own or buying them. Those TCs look clean tho.

 

Get the TCs. They are like $50 and not worth the time to fab.

 

HAHA. Blame it on the beers

…… and to think just yesterday we were talking sXe…. shame on you sir.

 

Sold. Thank you.

 

Finally got some time to put this bumper together. One tow cleavis or whatever it’s called was a little crooked when I welded it on so might take them off just for a cleaner look. A little more welding and grinding she will be all ready to paint

 

Nice work!

 

Gotta be wireless. Hate having to plug things in anymore lol.

 

Thank you! The truck was smashed in pretty good on the driver side fender when we bought so I had to push in the wing a little bit more but all in all pretty happy the way everything lined up.

 

What are you going to finish it with?

 

Probably just going to to the textured black liner, I was thinking about color matching on top of the black liner but was out voted by the family

 

I'm going to test out some rattle can Raptor Liner. From what I've seen, the compressor/spray gun Raptor Liner looks great. I don't have a big enough compressor, hence the test.

 

Wireless does nothing for me. Damn phone goes dead too fast.

 

Quit letting the pr0n apps background refresh.

 

Running anything on my phones kills the battery and I have no clue why

 

Time for a new phone (or battery replacement).

 

phones not even a year old. listening to music on bluetooth kills it. if its not on bluetooth i can go 2 days without charging.

 

Hmmm. Then you've got some apps or something running that is causing excessive processing/battery use.
