2007 2nd Tundra (saving from junkyard)

Well. I bought a wrecked 2007 sr5 tundra 4x4 with a hideous wrap. Been working and buying parts the last couple days Hauling it home.
May need some parts if any of you guys have them

 

Good luck with your project, but did you check the frame for damage?

 

Yes sir. My friend has a frame machine

 

Now to get a bed/tailgate.

And start taking this wrap off!!!

 

It looks like it’s in good hands finally, and it’s looking better already. Just rear damage?

 

wee bit o frame damage i see there. Best of luck! my frame took a bit of tweeking afters its rollover, but she drives good as can be now!

 

Thanks guys!

Its going to the frame shop monday. Hopefully I can get all the wrap
off. I have to find where they are buying those nice fender flares and those updated first 2nd gen headlights

If you know where? Please post a link!

 

Got a bed. And got most of the wrap off

 

Had some really good help!
He was excited!

 

There's a nice looking truck under all the crap, I mean wrap.

 

Love seeing people bring new life to something others would toss out. That frame damage appears minimal from what you posted. Frame machine should get it squared away easily. Are you going to keep the truck or flip it? I also spy an NC Miata, used to have one myself!

 

cool project......does it run? Are you gonna paint the whole truck...or re-wrap it?

Great eyes!!!
2008 NC prht love love it!!

Frame damage is minimal my guy can fix in a couple hours. Yes it runs.

Got p0983 code and it wont go into 5th or 6th gear but drives like normal

 

And I am trying to fix it for myself.

 

Hopefully i can swap this solenoid tomorrow and get 5th and 6th gear working

 

Got the solenoid ordered.
Here is the correct number to fix not shifting into 5th or 6th gear

35240-50050

 

Nice choice in a DMM, have two EM710’s myself. One for work, one in my shop at home.

You’re not wasting any time with your project there.

Thanks.
I have to get a few broken bolts out from breaking them.
The bottom of the trans pan bolts snapped.
3 came out, 3 i am having to drill

 

That’s awesome , I love seeing that ( buying a wreck and fixing it up ) . My neighbour did that with an old 64 Galaxy 500 , looked better than new when he was done .

 

Thanks for the motorvation guys.. lol

I am excited about it, hoping i can get those broke bolts out and fixed and test this new solenoid

 

Well good news.... solenoid fixed 5th and 6th gear! Got broken bolts helicoiled and fixed.
Loaded up and going to the frame shop tomorrow!
Here is the correct part number for the 5th/6th gear problem!


35240-50050

Also, I got the solenoid off ebay for $150 instead of the 3-400$ dealer prices

 

Nice work!

Thank you sir!
Off to the frame shop today.

 

Ever since You've pulled the bed out I am screaming thru the monitor "Powerwash that damn thing already" . I am looking forward to an update on your thread. Are you going to do a front end conversion? Good luck with your project.
