RIP TUNDRA? After 7 months in the body shop, now SOLD TO CARMAX

Also gonna stencil the TRD logo in red onto the intercooler

 

Well that was easy! Ordered

Arts and crafts time

 

I just gotta go buy a rattle can of International farm implement red spray paint. Thought I had some but guess I used it all on the Tacoma

 

Also got th green belt in for the tiny s/c pulley

 

Prepping for s/c install in next week or so and noticed this wear on the belt. Only has 9k miles

 

Removed the side badges. Need to clean the truck though

 

can you use 5100 on the 1"/3.5" lowering kit or would they be too stiff?

 

this makes no sense just run a 4600 stock height shock.

 

I'd do what @Hbjeff said. Use the Bilstien 4600 B6 HD's that SOS Performance sells. the 5100's would probably be too tall in the rear

 

custom 4.5" maf tube ordered + $100

How are you getting around the TSS functionality and errors involved with removing the factory emblem? Do you have a relocate kit like the TRD pro grill?

Edit: Nevermind... clicked the link and read about it

 

I'll have to buy the TSS Garnish adapter. TBH I'm now debating it since that will block off part of the view of my TRD stenciled intercooler. But We'll see after it arrives

Ordered parts for the custom fuel lines. Starting next week, I'm going to take the truck out of commission and start working on installing everything. Hopefully the pulley comes in soon, will check back in on that after new years. Gonna take it super slow with the install, probably at least a week. Give me time to get another paycheck in to spend on the tune.

 

Let me know how those fittings work. I need to do a fuel system for my k5 and I’m having an issue with $400 in fuel line parts.

 

Hopefully goes smoothly. This is what @ViktorG recommends, and what @Fastlane47 also installed recently

 

What...why did they not center the 6x9?!?!

Also I didn't realize they were 6x9s in the door. So in go the Infinity Reference speakers I took out of the Tacoma before I sold. Also have a RF P3 8" I'll swap out for the sub. These made a huge difference in the Tacoma, but I also had an aftermarket HU that helped

 

Well maybe not. I either need to get some spacers or shallower speakers. The Infinity speaker magnet hits against the window rail

 

Tried swapping the speaker over to the jbl mount but still no dice.

Anyways was a distraction from what I was supposed to be doing, swapping the front smart chrome handles for painted ones. Looks 10x better! Thanks @MGMTundra251 !

 

Mirror caps arrive next week. I was gonna start on the s/c work tonight but luckily I noticed I still have half of the 38 gallon tank left. Gonna do a bit of driving this weekend to drain the tank

 

Really considering some sheepskin seat inserts. Seats are still pretty damn cold even when parking in the garage

PHM approved

 

Bought the sheepskin inserts for.the front seats.

Also the 4.5" maf tube arrived. Figuring out how to make this custom intake tube work with the Stillen box

 

Removing the black vinyl door window wraps. Need to see if I can get the black plastic side mirror arms paint matched, so the entire side mirrors are paint matched and not just the caps.

 

Way better!

 

Painted mirror caps arrived. Looks so much better without chrome, and that black vinyl wrap between the door windows removed. Just need to wash the truck once this snow melts

 

Fuel line goodies arrived

 

Very much leaning towards these TRD Forged 22" wheels. Sucks they cost so much though. Can get them brand new from dealerships for around $720 per wheel, but those are in polished aluminum. I'm leaning towards the ebay refurbished version in powder coated black at $695 per wheel.
