    Hey all, first time Tundra owner, long time 4Runner guy. Just bought an ‘02 SR5 TRD. Replaced timing belt and water pump. Ready to start a new build on this rig. Any insight is appreciated.

    About $5k and some hard work and you’ll get your 02’ in prime time shape. Sounds like your 02’ has good bones to build on!

    Pour through the 80 or so pages of ‘What Have You Done to Your 1st Gen Today’ for ideas.

    $5k Sounds like a comfortable amount for this build, but we all know how these projects can go...

    Going to start with suspension all around (debating a lift) as well as replacing some steering and suspension components.

    Nice. Sounds like you’ve done a good shake down and have good idea where to start. I just had a shop redo the front end (158k miles) on mine which was the starting point of many thousands of dollars later. I keep saying the next thing is the last thing I spend money on as I continue to find more stuff to do.

    Take pics and post so we can keep up. Lots of knowledgable contributors here.

    What components did you replace in the front end? Upper/Lower Ball joints? Tie Rods? Shocks/Struts? I was planning on just redoing it all while I am at it and getting it aligned after.

    New Billy 5100’s all tire corners with fronts at one notch up from stock, new OEM LBJ’s, new OEM lower control arms, new cam bolts, new CV axles, new rotors/pads, new links to reattach OEM front sway bar, and one of those high dollar alignments with print out. All done by a shop at one time like you sound like you are planning. Took two days.

    Added a rear sway bar (
    $511 Hellwig 7700 Solid, Heat Treated Chromoly, 1-1/8" Rear Sway Bar
    Hellwig 7700) DIY. 1.5 hours.


    Truck drives better than when new. Very happy with it all.

    Wow you really did get everything replaced. I do my own wrenching and will just get the alignment and printout done after. I had Billy's on my last 3rd gen 4Runner project. They were great and last forever.

    I was up against buying a new Tundra for $50k or re-investing in a tired girl that never let me down once.

    The turning point was reading the forum here on both the brand new 2018’s and the old first gens. Guys getting 300kmiles plus. Drove by the mechanics and he said the 02’ was just breaking in and thats when I decided to re-invest for 3 more years.

    Now that that work is done and some other mechanical improvements on the engine that I diy’d I think I’m in for many more years of enjoyment. Its a project now. Therapy.

    Yeah, it's always nice to have an open project to work on.

    I have never owned a tundra, but have always wanted a first gen. This one kind of fell in my lap, the old owner was buying a newer model and didn't want to bother with the maintenance on this one.

    I have to replace the 02 sensors on this rig (only bank 1 is throwing a code) as well as replacing the cracked exhaust manifold and the exhaust while I am at it.

    Welcome! Drove my first gen almost everyday for 17 Years. If my truck was ever acting a little strange it was either the battery needed replaced or the throttle body needed cleaned out. That was it. Fricking amazing! Cheers!

    Sounds like a lot of Toyota’s I’ve had in the past. Glad to hear this one won’t be much different.

    Thanks for the welcome all.
