Yessir they are

 

Spring season of duracoat done. Should be good until the 4th of July

 

That duracoat really works ?

 

They popped up on my IG recently, I checked them out. Does it live up to their claims?

 

Yes. As long you take the time and do the prep stage very well.

Mine is a daily driver, and I get about 3-4 months before I notice it in need of a touch up.

My wife’s car is not daily driver and I do not notice a diminishing shine until somewhere around the 11-12 month mark.

 

Yes. Even after mud, rain and most recently salt brine. All wash off with soap and water and once the tire dries, it’s shine reappears.

 

That shifter is awesome!

 

Where did you get that shifter?..

 

He 3d printed it. he has a writeup on it

 

Got my pro led headlights installed, seemed damn easy with ihacker harness

 

so this happened today.....

 

busy few weeks, installed a stealth light bar, got new shoes and a little growth spurt. Super stoked with how everything has turned out and how she's sitting now!

 

Everything was fine until I moved out here.

Had to go back and forth for a while. And work commute went from 6 miles to 36 miles. I mean, we buy these trucks for longevity don’t we?

 

So, yesterday my truck hit 10,000 miles after owning it for almost 27 months. I work out of the country most of the year and it's not my only vehicle, hence the low mileage. It's been 5,000 miles since the dealer performed the first oil change and it's time for me to get it set up correctly for me to do it from now on. I want to make it as clean and simple as possible so that I can perform the changes without dropping the TRD front skid plate. With that in mind I made the following changes to the truck.

1. Dropped the TRD front skid plate to allow unfettered access to the oil filter and oil drain plug. While I had it off I pressure washed it to satisfy my Tundra induced OCD.

2. Drained the oil from the oil pan and installed a Fumoto F133S Valve. This is the newer model of the Fumoto valve that will fit the Tundra and will allow me to cleanly drain the oil, with the use of a plastic hose, without dropping the front skid plate.

3. Purchased and used a Motivx Oil Filter Wrench to remove the oil filter cap. Also, purchased a oil filter drain tool and hose to allow clean draining of the oil filter through the TRD skid plate access door. Got the Motivx Engine Oil Funnel for Tundra as well. Note: I would have bought the complete Motivx kit for the Tundra but they were out of stock so I ended up purchasing the parts separately since it was time to change the oil and I didn't want to wait around for it.

4. Replaced the bs OEM plastic Oil Filter Cap Assembly with the correct fitting Toyota aluminum version. There is lots of instruction online here and on YouTube on how to do this properly, but mainly you have to switch the center part of the oil filter cap on the aluminum version with the longer one in the original plastic model. Very simple to do and the end result is an aluminum cap that you don't have to worry about cross threading or cracking over time.

6. Changed the oil with Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic 0W-20. (Purchased at the local Wally World for $27 each.)

7. While I had the skid plate off I finally got around to installing the TRD Front Sway Bar that's been sitting in my garage for quite a while. Easy-peasy install, took about 20 minutes by myself once I had the skid plate off.

 

Chrome and wood gone from the interior, ajt pieces installed... debating on wrapping or painting the silver pieces on the door and the radio surround.. painted bumper caps, just waiting for grill to come in.

 

So you coasted downhill out of the gas station for 12 miles or so?

 

Do it! I did and love the look

 

What did you use to change the look of the wood portion of your interior? I'm looking to change the look of the same parts in mine but can't decide to wrap, paint or buy some covers.
