What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

I believe if they can find someone to lend them an AC for a week or so, they're willing to develop them.

 

www.stubbswelding.com I'll be getting the HD-SKO

 

Also a solid choice. I had an order placed with Richard and was waiting for them to be built when I spoke to Victory. Luckily Richard was gracious enough to let me cancel my order.

Finally got the chance to finish painting the trim. For now I'm done. This old truck is looking better. Next month I plan on trying to restore the paint.

Nice! I did that on some of my 1st Gen plastic. Came out great and changed the whole look of the truck. I used Rustoleum bumper and trim paint for plastic. Couldn't believe how durable and well it adhered.

 

Turned out pretty good.

 

Ya it's amazing how a rattle can is able to improve the look of an old truck.

And I love your user name. Great movie.

 

Yep my last name is Gilmore, so people call me it all the time haha. It is definitely a great movie.

 

When are you doing your pink side stripe?

 

Added a Deaver AAL and it gave me almost exactly 1.5" of lift. It also stiffened the ride a little but I love it. Stock leafs were just too soft for daily driving. I can't wait to test it out and tow with it.

Yeah, we have it at work. Very nice stuff

 

That's a nice truck man.

Thanks! It's been fun to build so far

Thanks! I'm used to it

 

The body shop is having a hard time matching the color to my standards. It's disappointing.

 

This is one of the nicer first gens by far. Well done. What's that color called?

 

Lol sorry I say that all the time.

 

Fred, did the old one just unscrew? I did the rear breather mod but didn't realize there was one for the front.

In the other thread someone mentioned there are over 20 bulbs that have to be swapped for this job. Does that sound right? Superbrightleds.com doesn't even show what to order so it sounds like sylvania is the way to go.

 

I just changed the 5 main bulbs behind the instrument cluster. 4-168? And 1-T5? which was special order and came in a 10pack. I used the remaining behind climate dash.

I chose to buy most of my bulbs from the auto store for convenience and not making the wrong online purchase.

 

If you swapped every bulb probably, but if you just want to change the backlights it's far less. If you do swap all indicator bulbs, leave the low fuel bulb incandescent unless you never want it to come on.

 

Good follow up explanation. Basically, there is no need to do all of the indicator bulbs and they only light up briefly if ever at all. The backlights are the ones to change and make a nice impact.

 

I need to remove my tire pressure light. I'm tired of it always being on. I keep hoping it'll just burn out.

 

Pull the fuse? Or you can use electrical tape.

 

One 10mm bolt and 4 screws and about 15 minutes would be all it takes.

 

Wow. It was so much more involved to get to the gauge lights in my first gen tacos. I had to take apart half the dash lol

 

I’ve removed the instrument cluster around 3-4 times to get things just right. Very easy.

 

There's this method as well for turning off the TPMS light. This is on my to-do list this spring.

 

Thank you! It's blue marlin pearl, only offered in 2004.
