What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Tacomaworld.com has some old toyota pickup/hilux owners there.... @kyle11863 has I believe a '91

 

Thanks

 

I wasnt prepared for this when logging in today. So I will just say this, that was very well said and for the last part; thank you.

 

Fired the beast up today and drove it to the post office to send off some shirts I sold. Realized it is too freakin hot to go exploring since we slept in and decided to head back to the hotel. Cleaned out the center console from beach mode to prepare it for when I leave Alabama. For the next couple on months, the center console will hold the air pump, inverter i really need to mount and my nocs/camera for the road trip. Little things that make a huge difference when out with the wildlife. Only cool picture today was with the pup but I dont want to cross post, so that will go on my thread.

Hope yall are enjoying this day!

 

There's not really any forum dedicated to the pickups unfortunately. Closest thing you have is Yotatech but its filled with grumpy old timers that will answer most questions with "Just sas it" or "Just 3.4 swap it". Sometimes you can find good advice on there but I was never able to enjoy the community. toyota-4runner.org has a decent section for 84-95 4runners, which most of that information will pass over to the trucks but again, the community isn't as good as it used to be.

Parts just depends what you're looking for. There is no one stop shop for everything.

Honestly any questions or advice you need feel free to hit me up. There isn't much on these trucks I haven't done yet

 

Looks great, I want to do that as well but the airbag intimidates the hell out of me.

 

Disconnect the battery first and it shouldn't be an issue.

 

I just watched a video and I thought that it was more involved, talk about feeling stupid.
Here I go again

 

Repost this same ask in the Gen1 General Discussion thread. I may be wrong, but I thought I recall seeing some folks there that did or still do have similar rigs...

 

@shifty`

Would you be able to point him in the right direction???

 

Updated the front bumper. Wasn’t gonna install a winch so decided to sell my relentless fab bumper and bought this simple but clean iron bison bumper from Amazon. Was scepticle but it is solid for what it is and I think fits the tundras aesthetics very nicely. Honest opinions welcome.

 

Looks really clean, you should probably post a link for it because I foresee some people asking for it.

 

I've seen that bumper, and it looks real nice. Glad to see it on this forum with legit feedback.

Your truck looks great!

Yeah, it’s fairly simple. 30 Torx bit and a Phillips bit is all you need. Just be careful as the volume/phone setups can “fall apart” when you take them out. They go back together fairly simple, just caught me off guard.

 

I think it looks great!

 

I love the look of these (in black). Reminds me of the 3rd Gen wheels. But the 18mm offset has me on the fence. Factory is 60mm, which means these wheels will stick out 1.65” further than factory. Don’t really like the sound of that. Thoughts?

 

Finally installed the Tyger fender flares. Not a fan of the smooth finish or the stainless bolts, but too busy these days to address them. Was ten minutes late for a birthday party as it was.

But, the install was easy and smooth. My tires are just barely covered, but that is about perfect. Too wide of flares and skinny tires looks silly, IMHO.

Before:



After:

 

Installed Sony xav 9500es.

 

Awsome thanks for the info and the future help! Also I see you are in Big Bear I'm in Fullerton (Orange County)

 

What does that look like from the side? like what's behind it, just curious

 

9.5qts of fresh 0-20 and a metal oil filter cap.

 

Hopefully you meant 8.5?

 

RCI plates fully installed.




Also replaced my rear windows, since the bottom brackets that are glued to them rusted out so badly that the rear driver's window bracket fell off (thank goodness the window didn't break).

 

Nope. Started at 8.5 and didn’t measure on the dipstick. Ended up adding another qt to get it to register. Did 9qts last oil change.
