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

Looks real nice! I’ll post up mine, but your black looks better next to the tan carpet interior.

 

I’ll be spraying an acrylic enamel black finish coat over all the pictured black and most of the red (still leaving some). Didn’t spray the OEM jamb protector which looks like a similar bed lined finish. Admittedly, I over did the red which is easily fixed. Third time is a charm?

 

The odd thing is that my interior and carpet is gray. No clue why it looks so tan in this pictute.

 

yep. But batteries aren’t universal, so I’m still tired to a certain brand.

Yeah I’m trying to avoid that, at least right now. Getting married in a couple months.

 

I’ve offered before, I’ll offer again.
Anyone doing the bushing upgrade; I will send you my removal tool, even the drive tool if you need. Just shoot me a pm with your address.

 

I thought about asking you, but I couldn’t remember who exactly was offering that, and my brother will probably need it as well.

the race driver kit I ordered I’ll use for a million different things, so I was going to buy that anyway.

super nice of you do to do that, and take on the hassle. Thanks man!

 

PHM beat me too it. I was gonna say use this:

 

Isn’t that the biggest financial mistake? Lol

 

Yeah, especially when it comes to an end.

 

Ordered the lights for my bumper. So, once the bumper comes in, I have everything to take it to 100%.

I can imagine. Me and the girl talk about it. But I still think it’ll be a year or 2 before anything happens

 

I forgot who, but someone has a tool that they've been sending from member to member. I think I'm going to ask to use it next

 

tying or untying

 

Yeah... probably. The good news is, I get reimbursed mileage for work, so that’s $.40/mile I pocket with an agreement I get to put it into the truck.

 

Not quite as powerful as the Milwaukee, but I bet it's still a beast.

 

Tying lol

 

No that's children.

 

Until you get old and the payback runs into reverse mode when they take care of you (you hope).

 

Whoa! My tool only Milwaukee was $199.

 

Key word is Hope, have you met the current generation?

 

I think mine was $225. Supply house prices. But that's what tool accounts are for! It's where all my Milwaukee shit came from.

 

It was down to $194 on Black Friday afternoon. Mz. PHM was too slow to pull the trigger.

 

Changed my mind since the white lettering I put on was very thin, non 3 dimensional and was hard to see further than a few feet away.

 

Did a little more today.

Worked on the Atoto Pro head unit and connecting it to my steering wheel WITHOUT an extra harness. I saw someone do it with a Tacoma but of course, my wires weren't the same color so I cut and mixed and matched until it worked! The picture is which wires went where (not how they were left).

After that, I replaced the lights in the cluster to white led's and swapped all the interior lights (again). The first batch I bought I didn't like how blue the led's looked when I have tan leather. Even though a warmer color would be nice I prefer the brightness!

Wiring: Steering Wheel#Key to Green, Steering Wheel Key to Blue, red is ground.


Interior Lighting.

 

I'll be taking you up on that offer in the near future. Maybe next month

 

Glad I'm not the only one that's looking at those cool aftermarket 3d tundra letters. I think I might get the trd pro to replace my trd decals that have gone pink

 

Progress. I have the bushing most of the way in, still a ways to go yet. Then front shocks, and rear bump stops.

 

Didn’t do anything to my Tuna, but I finally had time to restore my wife’s headlights so now she can stop whining and I can get back to the truck #ToyotaFamily

 

I did the exact same thing to my wife's Rav4 on Wednesday. Now I don't have to think about her car for a while.

 

Happy Wife Happy Life
