What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Did you get amber for the illumination color? I’ve was planning on getting those switches, how was the color off? Too yellow?

 

I got this switch ( https://www.aironboard.com.au/store...suzuki-push-switch-dual-led-amber-on-off.html )

I emailed air on board and they said the RED/GREEN switches may provide a better match (https://www.aironboard.com/online/p...push-switches.html?color=386&toyota_model=396)

Video of switch color match for those interested https://photos.app.goo.gl/SFspQYAQQ9PMWkXTA Way too yellow. Otherwise the switch fits and looks stock.


If you do end up ordering a RED/GREEN please let me know how the match is. If it is dead on I will order one for mysellf.

 

Most recent addition was a 12” dirty deeds exhaust.

also ordered a set of Headwaters seat covers which should arrive in March/April

still havent installed my diode dynamics fogs. Maybe get on that this weekend

I fixed my truck today.

Two days ago, it idled rough for 1min and then went back to normal, didn't think anything of it. Next time I started up, the engine, trac, and 4L lights started going off. Went to advance, pulled code, cylinder 6 misfire. I replaced the plugs in October, cylinders 6 and 4 had some oil in the boot/plug end. So started worrying about replacing valve gaskets in the near future, among other diagnostics, just great...

Was going to take another look at the spark plug today, went back to advance today and bought a new one just in case. Came back out and code was gone. Patience paid off. Had a beer and reflected on my work.

 

Looks awesome! Have the same color and would like this color matched surround and grill. Where did you get these from and what was the approximate cost for the grill and surround?

 

Finally got my lift installed with new wheels and tires!

 

Yar. Looks really good. 35s?

I shall not go so large, but looks damn fine.

 

Pretty much 35's... 315/70r17 I think it is like 34.7 or something. I spent HOURS (ok probably days) on this site trying to choose a setup. Probably need to delete the factory steps not sure how it will be getting in and out without them. Might go to some more subdued rock sliders.

 

Nice looking truck! Love the wheel tire combo with that color.

 

Thanks 20GR8 I want to do a chrome delete too starting with the front and rear bumpers. Like what I see in your profile pics what kind is that front?

 

Mine is a limited so it had chrome everywhere. I went with color matched mirror caps, door handles, rock warrior grill that is color matched(want to upgrade already to the sequoia pro grill), and color matched emblem. The bumper is a Smittybuilt that was on the truck when I bought it. I still have a chrome rear bumper that I have to get rid of too. Haven’t decided on the matching Smittybuilt, black rock warrior, or wrap mine to color match.

 

Here is a better pic of the front.

 

Yah that looks really good. I live by the coast where everything rusts super fast. Any issues with rust on the SmittyBuilt I know it is an issue with some of the cheaper bumpers. I'd rather not drop like 1500 on a bumper and then have to pay to linex it or whatever

 

If you look super close it gets a few spots now and again in the winter but as long as I don’t go months without washing the truck it seems to be okay. Usually can get most spots off with elbow grease and seem to be just surface. I do know what kind of paint was used on it though in case I ever need to touch it up. It’s probably been on the truck for about 2.5-3 years.

 

Last week, but new LCA and finally got Durobumps installed. First impressions, they work


While getting those first impressions, lotta jumping. I’ve always had problems with my tent coming loose and shifting whenever I jump or hit anything big. Going to try and solve that today. New hardware, new loctite, torqued to hell. Medium between bars and tent will be pipe insulation.

 

Putting the engine/transmission , basically everything back in it

 

Considering a new steering wheel from AZA Auto Wheels for my 2nd gen Tundra TRD. Looks like it's compatible and give the 2.5 gen styling?

Anyone out there running an AZA steering wheel?

 

You would need an airbag...

 

Put in the pedal commander. The app works really well with it. Definitely can tell the ECO mode makes you drive like a granny. There is hardly any throttle response and probably best on the highway. The sport modes are really fun. Hopefully I don’t want to use it is sport mode too much

 

She is alive and back from the dead

 

Woohoo!

Great to hear. No more glitter!

 

Installed my Rock Warrior grill, plastidip’d the Toyota emblem, and installed the white mirror caps. Have white door handles coming in this week. Then will black out the other emblems when it gets warmer.
Before:

After:

 

Looks so good but I’m kind of partial to that color.

 

Added a magnetic phone holder where the coin holder used to be on my 2007.

 

Finally got a nice day and washed the Tundra

 

I got it from Sparks parts, roughly $640 with the custom paint.

Order it from sparks and select the colors you want in the drop down menu.

Takes about 3 weeks for it to arrive to your door since they have it painted from a shop.

No Barcelona Red.....

 

The Tundra went soft.

 

Yota LEDs, very nice fit, definitely recommend these over some of the other options.
