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

Don't forget the Home Depot bucket exhaust tip.

 

And the stupid ass spike lug nuts.

 

Gotta have that Mad Max road warrior pavement princess cosplay accurate of course.

 

God I hate those with a passion, they look terrible on anything they go on

 

Same thing I did, same wheels. He's pretty knowledgeable and it didn't hurt that he has the same truck.

 

Oh I don’t know, I think they worked on my old golf cart ;-)

 

Haha i stand corrected, on your golf cart they work! But for the wrong reasons lol

 

Cart brothers

 

Well, I'll find out in about 5 hours. Tires are already mounted. Just have to have them put on the truck when I get off work.

 

Ok after mentioning to Shifty looking for right hand side Volume and track buttons I decided to try a thing. I grabbed the iDatalink SW interface and threw it back on my desktop to try and flash it to work with the Chinesium buttons. I was unable to choose a model that included all the buttons on the right hand side like my Chinesium controls have. I remapped the 2 top RH side buttons to work as volume and track buttons depending on press or press/hold. Now I got to go remove the OEM LH buttons and reattach the Chinesium LH buttons as well as the ribbon cable to tie them back in with the RH buttons. BRB. LOL

 

Victory! I have volume and track controls on right hand side. Lol.

All of this so I don't have to reach over an additional 8 inches to change tracks or adjust volume. SMH. LOL.

Cheep Chinesium controls FTMFW!

 

Persistence won that fight ha.

 

For right-hand controls, try 2006-2010 Toyota Sienna. There are at least three control types they used: With and without radar paddle, with off/info/mode but no bluetooth/phone, with bluetooth/phone but no off/info/mode.

If it doesn't have it, try a 2006 Lexus LX470

 

What's that saying? "It's not the destination, it's the journey"? Nice electro digital magical work!

 

Shiiiiiiiit. I'd just be happy to figure out why my turn signal fuse keeps blowing.

 

It's usually because of the socket, when others have found it, was a socket in one of the rear bulb housings that was jacked up. Physically, inside the socket.

 

It's weird. I'll replace it and it'll last for a week, then blow again.

 

Dummy check first: You sure you've got the right size fuse in that slot, and someone didn't, like, put a 10A fuse where a 15A should be somewhere along the line, right?

If you confirm the fuse is the right amperage, I'd start in the back of the truck, since it's easier. First, look around. Did someone install an aftermarket trailer harness? If yes, that's your #1 culprit right now.

If not, I'd pop out each of the rear tail lights. Inspect the blinker light specifically. Pop the connector out of the housing. Pop the bulb out. Look for any weirdness, bent tabs, jacked up stuff, spliced wires.

 

New FN wheels and big Falken tires! Now if I can just find the OEM center caps I'll be in business, but these will do for now. I had kicked around the idea of trying to shoehorn some 285/70s in there, but I think this looks perfect. Glad I went with the 275s.

 

Looks great!

 

That bead lock looks sharp on your truck!

 

Fakelocks. They're 17" reproductions of the old 16" Baja Trails from the Tacos and FJs.

 

Very clean! Looks nice.

 

Did a little unplanned bodywork this afternoon. Not at fault, but guessing the insurance negotiations are going to be interesting.

 

Lol, I know I got the same set just in plain Jane gunmetal because I didn't wanna deal with cleaning the fake locks and didn't think they'd look good on my truck

 

Er…Looks like a parking sign pole jumped out in front of you. I hate when that happens! j/k

 

Looks more like a trailer backed into him
