Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Man, I didn't see the phrase you quoted, but @PHawj if nobody has warned you yet, stick with OEM LBJ, unless you like being a victim. Don't get @FirstGenVol in here showing you carnage the dozen or so victims he's already see and shared this year.

Aftermarket LBJ are a ultra-common fail point, achilles heel on these trucks.

 

Welcome! Nice truck! Bronze would be cool.
I'm currently torn between these two



With this center cap

 

Why not sand and paint the 17's you have for the short term. Can't make it look bad. https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...-gen-tundra-today.2558/page-1932#post-3538150

 

Another option I would throw out as an alternative to the TRD Pro wheels, because let's be honest, everyone has em now.

FJ Trail Teams. 16"

 

Looks awesome. Is this a Tacoma bumper?

 

Whatchya gonna do with those stock wheels?

 

I'd get the gold and call it a day.

 

I thought about that too. But I'd really like some pro style wheels.

 

They may be up for grabs soon.

 

Nice! That's a pretty dang clean hunting truck. I'd drive that every day!

 

I would drive it every day too. But I have other cars that can do that.

 

Dibs.

 

Yes,

Had to modify it quite a bit to fit the tundra. Wouldn’t recommend unless you have some welding skills.

 

Looks really clean. Good photo too love the location

 

bronze is pretty sexy, not biased

 

I was gonna get these but they sold out of the -36 offset 17's on the day i was gonna purchase. So I went with the ones I have now

 

Welcome to the bronze club

 

Went out for a few days fishing and camping.



Spent most of the time on the river fishing.

Fishing was good.

Took the long way/scenic route back home
Made a few stops along the way

 

I also went camping last weekend!

 

I just picked up some BBS RW018's on FleaBay and paired them with a set of Goodyear Steadfast HD's in 265/60-18. If anyone in meet-up distance of North Georgia needs a set of OEM 16" alloys with nearly new 265/70-16 Kenda Klever A/T2 tires PM me.

 

Tell me you know shifty` without telling me you know shifty`

 

Well, I don't know shifty' and don't understand the comment either.

 

It's all good. He uses that terminology and lives in Fulton County. I found it humorous. Welcome to the forum. Wheels look good.

 

Ok, I'm new here and not the brightest one in my age group. Thought I"d farted.

 

Welcome to the forum. There's a few of us in the N. GA area on here, though none of us really hang out, I met @Tundra2 from Kentucky before meeting anyone near here

Truck looks great! Like really awesome. I love the combo, and the only way it'd look better is if it was 2" lower! We here at the forum assembled a "hey, read this about your truck" thread over here that you may find helpful. Holler at me before you sell that thing

And if you're in the market for a camper, I happen to have one that is color-matched to your truck I'll sell at a pretty penny. And if you ever want to get rid of those clear bras on the truck, I did mine and can give tips.

 

I think it would look good leveled by a 2" drop in the rear rather than a 2" lift in the front. I'd want to retain its load capacity though so the drop would have to include some load leveling air-assist bags or something functionally equivalent. [/quote]

I am quite interested. I priced a new one and gulp. I have a problem to fix first. The bed is about an inch low on the right rear from a previous rear-ender. I think it was severe enough that the bed was replaced because I can find no repairs on the bed. CarFax called the damage "moderate". It may need a frame tweak to straighten it up. I have a friend with a frame jig so I think I can get that done, but right now it would look screwey. The bed to cab panel gap is smaller at the bottom. With that extended to the roofline it would look crap. Oh, and WTH is a clear bra?

 

@JakeJake may know a guy

No, I mean a kinder gentler frame guy with a real frame rack and 45 years of using it.

 

I think 1" front, 2" back would look great. @455h0le_dachshund may have some input on what to use. I assume it's 2WD?

The Firestone helper bag kits for these trucks are great. Many users here with them.

New ones are absurd! I was quoted $2,400 for one with options that was refurbished, like $2,800 for a barebones base model new (IIRC) from a big new/used seller north of ATL. I managed to get a used one at a pretty fair price in better-than-average shape off a guy selling a parts truck and dropped a couple hundo into it. I was just about to drop $400-600 to get it repainted, color-matched. Pretty sure it's the same color as your truck now. It's one of the niiiiice Leer 100R caps that covers the bed rail caps, which I think looks a lot better than the ones which leave the rail cap exposed.
