    Got busy this past weekend and...

    Changed rear shocks for Bilstein 5100s (amazing upgrade if you ask me).
    Replaced all four rotors with drilled/slotted type and new ceramic pads.
    Replaced front calipers.
    Bled all calipers.
    Installed a new Android headunit that required some customizing here and there and troubleshooting why I have no sound in rear speakers (I have the JBL system), but everything else works great and I am happy with the upgrade.
    Oil change, but darn oil filter wrench is wrong type, so had to leave old filter in and buy tool online.

    Next, I am shopping for new coil springs (I have the TRD Off Road package, so I want to make sure I get compatible coils), and putting together the front struts with the front Bilstein 5100s.

    Then...

    Troubleshoot where small coolant leak (seemingly) is coming from.
    Figure out why brakes bottom out (even though braking function works just fine).
    Figure out why there is like a rattling noise when engaging 4Lo.

    Slowly making it my own work.

    Oh... and did I mention I had to bring it in the glass shop to get new passenger window cause some low life in Austin TX decided that putting an orange size rock through the glass was a great idea?
    Yeah...

    I should be installing speakers but FedEx ignored my request to deliver over the fence, left it at the door at 8:xxam and when I got home after 5:xxpm they were gone. :(

    Sorry to hear that. Low lives, man.
    I'd contact FedEx and open a case with them.
    If you specified how you wanted the delivery, and they ignored it, then I think it is on them.

    Newest mod had to swap out the air box to a 3rd gen box since it is smaller.

    New to me 2007 with 59,600 miles
    I'm done for now. This is a new to me 2007 SR5 with 59,600 miles https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...2nd-gen-tundra-today.68/page-192#post-1495021 . I got 2019 Tundra Limited "Take Offs" wheels and tires, they still had the "nubbins" on the tread. I've replaced all the interior, bed and backup lights with LED's. I had a New stereo with Apple Car play installed at Best Buy. I had the front windows and windshield tinted. Finally had a new drivers seat cover installed and the Foam strengthened. I never met the man that owned the truck, he had passed away, but his wife said he was a "Big Man".

    Got my truck set up and wheels removed for a rotation last night. I can’t bring myself to mount one gold rim anywhere else on the truck so am re-painting the rims before I mount em back on. Can anyone guess the color I’m going this time? (Without y’all voting on the color this time haha)

    I want to paint mine bronze. A dark bronze. But that's just my cup of tea.

    I think they'd go well with my black/OD Green color scheme.
    How are you painting yours? I figure good cleaning and self etching primer maybe?

    Just spray bomb for paint. Tech primer as you said, 100 grit sand first. I’ve always liked a factory rim in a custom color. I’m getting pretty sick of purple though haha

    Found out I get 18 MPG on the freeway with my 295’s... :yes:

    And got an incredible deal on some SPC UCAs locally; not sure the person is on this site but :cheers:. One piece in the suspension puzzle complete.

    New to the second Gen. One week old at 116k for miles. Love the truck so far, and I do understand nothing is perfect and have some things to work on, but not complaining for $12k. So far just cleaned it, read my owners manual, and cleaned the battery terminals to like new condition. On the immediate list, have to figure out humming noise under intake manifold, changes with rpm and sounds like tps motor. AIP maybe, and would like to bypass that anyways. Then bypass TPMS....pain in the arse that is. Then down the road, shocks, front brakes, and front and back bumpers. That's it so far...............then there are all those pipe dreams of mods. :rolleyes:

    Thought I’d share an easy way to mask off brakes/hub for painting. Went to the dollar store and bought a pack of kids play cards (Paw patrol;)) and some cheap table place mats. Custom cut the placemat and stuff cards in where needed. Boom. Plus the cards and placemats ar totally reusable for the next project. :)

    rims, blackoak led light bar, upgraded led turn signals, rear sway bar, rbp running boards, and fake roll bar because it looks good.
    did those courtesy light plug and play to the ones on the bottom door panel? i'm asking because i want to get them. i found plug and play ones. but i'm not sure my courtesy lights even light up. its just a red piece of plastic. looks more like a reflector.
