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

What was the process of changing that out?

 

Not bad at all point mirror all the way in. Then two screws came out . un plug old and plug in New . put back screws

 

Where'd you get your tow mirrors?

 

They are stock. I really dont see many tundra's with them. I lile them a lot just don't really need them much for what I pull. I never need to pull them out .

 

It’s official 2nd gens are the fasted!!!!

 

Wish I could find A meet like this,yeah salt sucks here in pa

 

Yes it does and its been too damn cold to do anything about it lately.
I'd like to find one too Jach but would have to be in much warmer weather!

 

Looks great.

 

If you drove a Dodge or Ford they would be pulled out even if you never pulled a trailer.

 

she’s been good, so she got some new shoes; goodyear duratracs, and a front emblem mounted front camera.

I call her halle...halle berry.

 

Gave her a cleaning, inside and out.

 

Replaced all 4 window belt moldings, (outside bottom squeegee). Old ones were in bad shape. Easy job, $77.00 for all 4.

 

Nice job

 

Got my truck and my wifes van both in the garage for the first time ever.

 

I see door dings in your immediate future

 

I need to do this, where did you get the molding?

 

They can be purchased individually or some sell all four together. Can get from dealership. Got mine from EBay through a dealer. Also great YouTube instruction available.

Edit: Part Number for Crew Cab kit will be different than DC. Believe fronts are the same but rears will be different.

 

Thank You! Wash the truck yesterday and noticed it falling apart. Thought this would be an expensive and daunting task.

 

As did myself, LOL. I figured door panels would have to come off at minimum, and be a big PIMA.

They did not come off as easy as YouTube videos show, had to wrestle them off and retainer clips at post broke off old ones. Had to deal with digging out old clips. I figured after 11-12 years, they were kind of "married" in there.

Very happy with results with modest price.

 

I need the driver's door seal as well. My front windows are very slow unless it's raining. Might just pull the door panels and lube all the moving parts as well as replace these seals.

 

Has anyone experienced broken studs on aftermarket wheels it seems like everytime I get my tires rotated I have to get a stud replaced maybe it's just the guys that are messing with my wheels but the bright side is I don't have to pay to get it replaced I just have to take the time to go get it done

 

Guessing results from using an impact at the shop. Not experiencing yet on tundra (stock wheels), but had a few older vehicles that this happened from time to time. I never had an issue with a lug wrench on same vehicles, use an impact things were different.

 

Dropped my truck off for remote start and window tint this morning. Christmas present from the wife. Just now had an opening at the audio shop to have the work done. It's gonna be in the single digits Wednesday morning. The anticipation of seeing the window tint and using the remote start is killing me.

 

I think you are right. I think they believe they are NASCAR pit crew or something .

 

I am sure older threads with little or no lube (creating friction) help contribute when using impact. Maybe remove lugs one at a time and apply some "anti-seize" to the threads for future impact endeavors.

 

I have also had thoughts of wheel spacers and if they break those they will be easier to replace.

 

The recent info that I've been getting on the topic of anti-seize on the lug threads is that is reduces friction too much. That, so I've been informed, allows the lug bolts to get over-torqued (stretched) and also contributes to the wallowing out of the lug holes on alloy wheels. I have no hard data on this myself, but the last time that I had new tires mounted up (this past summer), the shop took the time and effort to clean off the anti-seize that I had on them, and to share this bit of information with me. Willing to hear from anyone knowledgeable on the subject....

 

I have read some things on this topic, many folks have been doing it for years with no issue. It seems Properly torqued is the key. Most A.S. products advertise 20-30% more torque can be applied with the use because the lubrication properties. Conceivably that could equate to over-torquing with torque-wrench by that same 20-30%. Some folks "Under-torque" 10-20% to prevent "over-torquing". Of coarse this all goes out the window when the shops are using their impacts set at 150 lbs.
The stuff goes a long way. Using sparingly on outer threads it will help lube the threads and make for easier removal in the future.

 

Mixed emotions on this now lol but all I know is they are the only people that touch them other then my buddy who has never broke one on my truck. I think a lot of it is carelessness but we will see next wed when we go to take them off for the new breaks and coil overs I have ready to install.
