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

Fixed the loss of power to stock radio head unit. All research indicated either fuse or ground. Dislocated clock connector was the culprit. Such a simple yet satisfying fix.

 

FINALLY installed my K&N cold air intake. I love it!! Sounds great.

 

Evicted a mouse that was living under the intake plenum of my newly purchase Tundra. There was two large handfuls of bedding and two large handfuls of walnut shells in there. I had to fish it out with a grabber tool. I was chuckling the whole time.

Right now there's a mouse freezing his butt off

 

Brought the new project home.

 

I hate pack rats. Destructive little bugger ate the wires off a cam position sensor on the 3.5L in my 08 Rav4.

 

Decided that I'm buying my buddies 16x8 MT classic 2 wheels.

 

Finished up a rear bumper build for my personal rig. Just needs paint (doing so this weekend).

 

That looks great Austin! I like the combination of plate and tube. Clean n simple.
Edit: I forgot to mention the nicely integrated receiver hitch. Now I really want one.

 

Installed a set of StopTech stainless braided brake hoses on my 06 Double Cab.

 

Replaced the serpentine belt. Bye bye morning squeaks.

 

Ordered a set of Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers. Now I'm definitely looking at Bilstein 5100's and bigger tires. I'm on 18x9 Moto Metal MO958 wheels wrapped in a 275-65-18. Rides good, but they're not big enough for me. But, they were free and close to brand new, so I'm not complaining.

 

Did you order just a set of spacers for the front?

 

No, I got front and rear.

 

What’s the backspacing on your 18’s? Do they stick out past the fender right now?

 

4.5" -12 they don't stick out at all.

 

Here's my truck.

 

Shovel, Axe and HiLift mount



New battery installed

 

Picked these up yesterday. Ordered some good polishing paste and a buffing ball.

 

Nice! Are those the 16’s you mentioned?

 

Yes. They're in decent shape. A little oxidized, but will clean up nicely. I got some heavy duty aluminum cleanser for the backside of the rim. They're nasty. I also ordered some blue magic aluminum polish and a buffing ball.

 

Sounds like a fun project. Since you’re downsizing from 18’s, what are your plans for rubber?

 

Finished the anti wood grain mod, much better.

 

I'm look9ng at 295-75-16 General Grabber AT2's.

 

That looks good. I'm not a fan of the wood grain trim package.

 

What kind of floor mats are those?

 

Weathertech floor liners front and rear. The only mats I use in my vehicles.

 

Did you have to change out the whole trim piece?

 

So, this happened. 295-75-16 General Grabber AT2. They measure of at 33x11.50-16. I believe they'll fill the fender well nicely.

 

Nice choice, you’ll like that size. I ran 285/75r17’s(34x11.25) on my 4Runner and will run on this one once I lift her. They’re going to look good with the classic II’s! Are you going to paint the wheels black or keep them chrome?

 

Nope, nothing a couple cans of SEM satin black and clear coat couldn’t fix.
