New guy, wrecked Tundra

Greetings all!

Just bought a wrecked 2021 Toyota Tundra possibly a SR. Not sure a whole lot about it yet but I can't wait to get it up to standard and have it as a daily! Just sold my 2018 Toyota Tacoma I bought new. I am loving all the space this thing has.

Attached are pics in the current state. I will definitely be seeking help from you fine folks along the way. (Does anyone know driver door compatibility between the years?) Thanks and I look forward to learning with the rest of you!

Also, born and raised a Montana boy but just moved to North Texas! Does it ever cool down here?

Welcome from LA! (Louisiana )

 

Create an account on the Toyota owners web page. Input your VIN and it will give you your build specs. It does appear to be an SR based on the grey grill surround, black bumper, no fog lights, and no engine emblems on the doors. They don't come on the SR models.

wow super handy! Thank you!

 

Welcome from NY.

2014 thru 2021 doors should work.

 

Driver door, except for the interior trim, didn't change from '07-'21 as far as I know.

 

Welcome and greetings from Minnesota. Looks like a relatively light hit, should be a dependable vehicle when finished. Congrats.

Almost forgot, I noticed your USMC logo, Siemper Fi.

 

Welcome from AZ. Looking forward to following your rebuild. Be sure to post some pictures and commentary along the way.

 

I just bought a used 2008 Tundra door and it fit up great. Semper Fi! USMC 2006-2010

 

Awesome! Besides the driver door and rear quarter panel/bumper is there any other damage?

 

So far the list is:
Driver door (located)
body damage inside the driver's door foot area
rear bumper (coming in today)
I was able to bend down the rear driver corner panel (very thin metal back there) hoping the bumper will hide any of the ripples
Curtain airbag (already replaced)
Driver seat (already have a used one with airbag intact)
Had some weird parts missing from the engine bay. The bottom airbox was missing, one of the vacuum purge valves was missing, and a hose to the brake booster was missing. I replaced all except the bottom airbox that is coming in later this week.
The tail light was in the bed of the truck when I bought it.
I just sent in the front seatbelts to get unstuck and recharged.

That's the list as it stands... so far... Ill update with progress.

 

Rear bumper coming in today for the rebuild!

 

awesome! you should keep a tab on how much your spending on the parts and see where you stand on buying new vs yours...

 

That looks like a really nice rear bumper, I may have too keep that in mind for a future upgrade.

My time in the Corps (1976 - 1979) was a couple years prior to you joining up with “Uncle Sams Misguided Children”
(That’s not a slam, just having a little fun with the initials) I was in the Army first (1973 - 1974) ... I’m a slow learner.

 

I have the same truck, minus the rims. Still sporting the steel wheels lol. Good luck on the build…

 

Welcome from So Cal

 

Great Idea. So far I picked up the pickup with 44k miles for $17,500 after taxes and such. Ill update with all the upgrades and prices along the way.

 

Welcome, thank you for your service.

 

Very nice boat, where in NC are you located?

 

Davie county. Not far from WS.

 

Damn nice boat. I just sold my 2018 Tacoma DCSB manual OR. I towed cars with it and it would get scary at times in Dallas traffic. I can't wait to see what a difference this makes!

 

Thanks, it’s a 97 model Triton but it’s in pretty good shape still. Wish I could say the same thing lol…..

 

Welcome

 

Just got the rear bumper installed. IMO it looks great! Wife said it looks too hardcore and I should get a front bumper to match… hmmm…

 

If the wife says so

good choice in power tools

 

Welcome from Colorado. Semper Fi

 

Nope

I grew up in San Antonio. It’s hotter than hell for all but like two weeks total.

Its why I moved to Colorado. Life is better at 9,000+ ft.

 

So you haven't experienced Texan's (DFW) driving on ice? good luck this winter.

 

Colorado hi country counties are actually prepared for even extreme winter conditions.
