New Owner and Member - 2000 Tundra TRD

Greetings. Thank you for the addition.

2000 Tundra, 177,000 miles, Central Arkansas (e.g. nonsalted), 4x4.

Past experience with 1st gen Tacomas and 100 series cruisers. I love the 2UZFE.

Well maintained and regularly serviced by our local dealer.

New OEM front ball joints and steering components.

Recent OEM timing belt, water pump, and starter.

I think it rides and drives great. I wish I had discovered Tundra many years ago.

Eventually, I'll be in the market for shocks.

I'm into off-roading. The Tundra will be an adventure truck to go with the 100 series on family trips.

First Enhancement Purchase

Seat Jackers (driver side)

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Welcome from NC have you made any more changes since you got it ?

 

It's in the body shop getting a dent removed from the right rear quarter panel. I'm building a spare CV axle based on an OEM using boots from an 07 model.

I think I'm taking a more expensive route than going with the SDHQ Off-Road boots.

I picked up a used Costal Offroad rear bumper and a storage box with sliding drawers for the bed.

The body shop will trim the rear fenders for the Coastal Offroad bumper to fit.

 

Nice truck! The 4.7 is truly legendary! Million mile motor!

 

I like everything about my 06 except the gas mileage

 

Improving my gas mileage is what brought me to this forum. Little help here???

 

This is neither an exhaustive list nor is it meant to be a 'blanket' fix for anyone. I've kept 87 to 93 Octane Shell gas in it. Burns cleaner and I'm not putting gas in it often. Monthly, I'll alternate with these additives. Lucas Octane Boost, Gumout, Seafoam, Lucas Fuel Injection Cleaner. I don't either haul or tow anything. At best, I get 20 mpg.
