Howdy! Come watch me polish a turd.

Be sure and get pics. We like pics. Like, a lot.

 

Mmmmmm, yessssss. Vivisection. It's Rotten dot Com all over again.

I gotchu bb

My main squeeze

 

I gave up Instagram so you guys have to follow along on this little adventure.

here she is not in low mode.


Plus, I got a little inspo at the tractor supply when I stopped for a bucket

 

Our patient

 

Looks like it has one of the unicorn master cylinders. I'd snag that as a spare if the price is right.

 

Ah damn too late. Happy with my haul though

 

If it doesn't have the FA kit, I have a brand new never opened Lexus P/N: PT420-0009L that I'll trade you if you can get your hands on the map light, sunglasses holder assembly in the headliner.
EDIT: Looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short

 

Alright, my donor was much rustier than my truck which sucked but also made me feel better about mine. The bummer is most of the shit I wanted from the underside was basically junk and the hard line I needed was completely seized in the connectors on both ends.
I came away with a full set of minty manual cloth seats so I can toss my obliterated leather seats. Unfortunately the mouth breathers at the yard threw an oil soaked crossmember into the immaculate interior so hopefully I can get the oil out.

I also got a bedliner to go with my new tailgate. I was able to add another color to ol’ Methanie.
Before

After

Ass like a baboon (that receiver hitch is rusted in there which is why I needed another one)

I got a full set of not-fake-wood trim pieces and door buttons.

The dude that babysat me in the yard threw this in for $20

Finally, I filled a 5 gal bucket halfway with bolts, brackets and hardware I’m missing or are rusted to dogshit along with a receiver hitch and trailer harness and bracket.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

 

A drill brush and an extractor will clean that seat right up.





That spot on the pass seat is oil. Came right out with hot water in the extractor.

 

Just know the HVAC controls aren't universally compatible, even within the same years and cab types, so test your A/C immediately after swapping out, and know someone here may want the woodgrain stuff, it's sought after.

 

Awesome, thanks. I have two little kids so a hardcore carpet cleaner was something we invested in a while ago. It’s been doing work on this truck. If that doesn’t cut it, I’ll bring out the big guns.

 

Rad, I can swap my hvac unit into the new piece, correct? And thanks for the heads up on the wood stuff I was going to toss it.

 

Really? That plasticy, shiny fake wood is sought after? Why?

 

Only the highest-optioned trucks had it.

 

Right, that should be possible. Test for function first with the part you have, look at it for obvious differences. If all looks same, plop it in, snap the center dash on the truck without screwing it in, test it. If good, finish securing it and reward yourself with a cold one.

 

Yes I know but it's still hideous
On a positive note, it's not as bad as the GM fake. That shit was creaky, it would start making creaky noises as soon as you turned on the car

 

x2.... Wood is for building fucking houses and shit

 

My LX has legit wood trim made in the factory where they make Yamaha pianos. Shit is seeeexay. That doesn’t belong in a truck. Fake plastic wood is like why even bother tho.

 

Let’s be honest, even if it doesn’t work, I’ll still get a cold one to have a think and figure it out.

 

I saw this and wanted to see if you’re looking for the double cab map light and singles holder? I have a spare but one of the garage door buttons is broken.

 

Yes. AC or DC. I don’t really care. Mine is a base. It actually doesn’t have anything up in the headliner except for the one dome light. When I replace the headliner fabric, I want to fabricate installing that assembly there. Not necessarily trying to wire up anything other than map lights. According to the wiring diagram there should be a harness provisioned for map lights already. So a home link button not working is just fine for me

 

Damn I’m bummed I didn’t see this in time, the one in the JY was in amazing shape. Which is crazy because it rolled and they had to cut the roof most of the way off to get the guy out apparently.

 

I know the DC and AC are different but I’ll take some pics when I get back from vacation and see if you’re interested and wanna pay to ship it.

 

Thx Fam

 

Its the passengers airbag thing i believe.
I have a double cab limited, it came with the wood grain. I bought all the black stuff from an SR5 Sequoia (unknown year) but it had the same style dash as mine. I just swapped everything, all the plugs clock and all, and the passengers airbag thing was lit up, and the airbag and ABS lights were lit up on the dash.
I had to disassemble the dash piece and swap the airbag plug and lock mechanism from my Tundra wood grain dash and swap over to the sr5 black dash.

 

Interesting. This is from an 05 DC and mines an 06. We’ll see I guess. Hopefully that doesn’t affect the new seats I’m really excited about too

 

pretty sure, on paper, those are the same

 

Sucking the poison out

 

I thought you had to incinerate meth infused furniture to get the smell out?
