What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

I want too but don't know how to upload!! Lol need to learn!!

 

Might as well whore this on this thread too.

Drove 550 miles round trip to NM today to pick up a set of TRD PRO wheels from another member here. Also have a set of SpiderTrax coming from another member.

Next on the list is vinyl wrap bumpers and grill and level it up with some new shocks.



Vs

 

Looks good!! I'm interested in the vinyl wrap bumpers! Let me know how it goes and how much..just my rear one is chrome...

 

Will do Ben. Might be awhile though. Gots to restock the money belt


Good job on getting those pics posted too.

 

taco_bender, those rims look freakin' awesome!!!

i spent the morning washing cars. the afternoon drinking while looking out the window at the freshly washed toyotas

 

really annoying that the internet turns my pictures sideways whenever it feels like it

 

That happens when you spend the afternoon drinking. The camera's upright, you're upright, but the rest of the world's sideways.

 

put it to work

 

I debadged and smoked the taillights/third brake lense It needs a wash bad tho

 

Some new wipers and changed the Differential oil.

Newly acquired with 130K miles, figured the Diff had not been done. To my surprise the oil removed was very fresh looking, still golden in color. Really nice knowing previous owner seemed to have taken good care of her. Had bought some Mobil 1 for it, know there is good stuff in there now.

Got some LED's for the interior, to change soon.

 

SpiderTrax that I purchased from another Tundras.com member arrived yesterday. Slapped em on giving me a +28 offset.

Muy Bueno!!





Hoping to paint calipers or start vinyl wrapping chrome this weekend.

 

I installed new rotors and brake pads and painted the calipers.

looks great.

 

Last few days

 

Thanks.

 

That came out super nice. Wanna come do mine!

I think you said that was VHT caliper paint, right?

 

Thanks...correct VHT. When I did some research it had great reviews.

 

Thanks.

So, now we're gonna need a pic with the wheels back on.

 

Here's a quick one I took yesterday.

 

Finally got around to washing it for the first time ever! Nothing special to y’all but for me- cherry poppin goodness.

 

@Prostar 190 got me motivated so I spent the afternoon painting calipers. Threw new pads on the back too. No fancy rotors though.

 

I added the newest version of Spyder headlights. I immediately broke the filler piece below the headlight. The plastic prongs broke apart almost immediately. I'll probably just end up using 3m tape. Does anybody know where to find the plastic plugs that go on the inside part of the piece?

As far as the headlights, they are nice. The DRL leaves a lot to be desired as it's not very bright and they're dark in certain areas, but I still like them better than stock. I also changed the fogs to LED.

 

Looks great turnout very well!

 

Had to get the heater core changed (not an easy thing to do)

are these what you're looking for? pn 90467-07201

 

Finally got my interior LEDs installed. Completely new look at night. Glove box bulb was a pain, had to take apart to get bulb replaced, prongs were messes up.
But Wow!

 

I tossed on some new/old wheels onto my truck. Bailed on the chrome wheels and 285/65r18. The chrome rims that were on it had issues holding air. Tires were checked again and again for a slight leak. Shop came to the conclusion it was the rim.

New tires are 275/70r18 so I got a little narrower and taller. Which is just over a 33” tall tire. The old ones were a 30”. So gained ~1.5” of clearance which is wicked. No rubbing at all anywhere which is also nice.

I’m not super in love with the rims but they look better than the chrome ones that were on it imo. They have a factory zero offset so they are about an inch and half in from the flare which bugs me. They will do for now, my Dad gave them to me so the price was right. Ill need to get at the rusty hubs with some paint in the summer.
Anywho that’s what I did to my truck taday
