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

This was brought up a few months ago. Can’t remember who but someone was talking about doin some fab work to fit it up in there and I mentioned that my spare is a 35. It fits in the area but not the ‘pocket’, just hangs down maybe 2” lower because of the angled braces above. If you do anything to fit it better, be sure and let us know. It hangs lower than I’d like it to, I just haven’t gotten around to dealing with it yet, in other words, cutting and welding.

 

@Casper421 not sure if you saw it before, but I’ve got a set of 4.88s if you’re interested. Pretty sure it was you that was after a set. Lemme know. If not they’re goin to the marketplace

 

Did you convince him to join on here? Probably would be cool to see.

 

installed the rear vents. i now have a properly functiong A/C / heating system again.. yay


also have a photo showing the fancy a pillars and the correct airbag.

 

Well done!!! That first pic made me dizzy.

 

yea... i just noticed its upside down.. oh well

 

@empty_lord Looks like you need to clean or replace that right arm rest there. You’ve done almost everything else.

 

these seats were a cheap buy to get rid of the broken bench seat.. im still waiting for proper dark grey ones to pop up from an 05-06. then i'll be doing katzkin leather.


honestly with all the dark going on im half tempted to find wood grain interior bits.. even if im not the biggest fan of the stuff. i would really help it look "proper"

 

I think he is more into the VW bus thing. If he gets back in touch for my wheels I’ll offer to deliver to check out his quiver. I figure that would be an ok time to nab some photos. He has a bus from Travis Pistrana (or so he says) and another guy he couldn’t remember the name of. Interesting guy.

 

That looks fantastic @empty_lord

 

If you're doing katzkin when you get the right color seats then what do you need to find the right color seats for? Just the plastics on the sides?

 

I’m not generally a fan of carbon fiber interior bits, but would go with your darker theme. Or some grey / black wood grain. I’m afraid the factory wood grain would stick out like a sore thumb. If your looking for pop, maybe brushed aluminum.

 

Yeah, Dan, you’re at hand fabricated level . Anodized aluminum trim pieces.

 

Im actually interested in some 4.88 gears eventually. What kind do you have?

 

I really liked the interior of my '13 Camry hybrid, it looked like aged teak wood. The pattern was called "tech" something-or-other, I think. I've seen something similar in FGT, but I'm not sure if it was stock or not, I'll be damned if I can find the pics someone posted on here. I recall looking in the parts site and finding a couple of different finish names when hunting down my wood grain panels w/Roman.

 

Motive gears. If @Casper421 doesn’t want em, you got dibs. I guess there was a ridiculous lead time when he went to order a set, not sure if he placed the order or not

 

Ahhh… now I see what you were looking for and how the ducts are ran. In my AC, my center console doesn’t connect to the lower dash, so no rear vents for me.

 

The trim pieces are hard to come by too. Rather just get the correct color seats. Otherwise then I’m hunting down seat belt recepticals and all that.

 

Really needs to do a noogle on each output and run it back up into the seat cushion for maximum heat/cool. That would be a worthwhile use in a RC.

 

I have a set from nitro that will eventually show up. I wanted them for the Sedona trip but I leave in 11 days so no time to install. I appreciate the offer but if @oscardog86 wants them, go for it!

 

Do you have gears for both diffs, or just a 2wd? I might be interested if you have the fronts too.

 

So I did the GM diode install, no issues, voltage was in the middle, but now while rollin, 14.3, 14.0, while idling, dual optimal battery setup, cold weather was a drain, but not now.

 

wheres the second battery?

 

Does that mean two diodes? What about two alternators?

 

on my s10 blazer i have the room and the plan to built a double alt. Inline. Rear alt brazed to the rear of the front alts shaft.

 

Hamster wheel Attachment for just in case situations……..

 

I stuffed them together on the driver side, I’ll get a photo, and post shortly, please excuse the dust, pollen in Houston is all over the place, battery isolator sitting on top

 

1 diode, seems to keep, both batteries charged, and no issues at this point.

 

Do you have an isolator or are those two full time?
