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

^^^ couldn't agree more. Also contacted the eBay seller about the one amber light on passenger side not working and they already shipped me a new housing. Next up is the pro grill to completely transform the front end. Then take out my drop in bed liner and roll out a durabek bed coating. I don't think I've ever done so many mods to any car or truck I've ever owned. My wife calls it my mid life management truck. I'm slowly turning into a mod-aholic.

 

I say if it keeps you from getting a new truck payment then mod on!

 

hell yeah brother.

 

$6 mod never enough red!

 

Mid-June, I had inquired with a dealership about availability of 38 gallon tanks. I was told they were on a nationwide backorder with no end in sight. I left it at that.

Fast forward to last week, I found one of the local Toyota dealerships was offering 15% off for a back to school deal for online orders. I figured I'd take advantage of the discount, put an order in for the tank and parts, thinking I'd get it in a few months. As I figured they would, parts department got ahold of me the next day letting me know there was only ONE tank in the country, and a wait list of 332 people!

As luck would have it, I was dealing with a tenacious parts guy who called me back later in the day, to tell me he snagged the tank from a dealer near Seattle (I'm outside Denver) and it would be here in 3-5 days! I'll be damned...

Big cup for a thirsty truck! There goes my weekend

 

I have 210,588 miles on my Tubdra.

Since this past Friday I have replaced my starter.

Replaced my stock motor mounts with Solid Offroad motor mounts.

Changed my oil.

 

Great news. Please share which great parts dealer did great job finding it for you.

 

Would you mind sharing the parts list and cost associated for this mod?

 

Gang, why didn't you snap a photo with something next to it, to see the sheer scale of that 38gallon monster! It looks like a child's pool inflatable in the pic.

Assuming 30hallons useful capacity, that's 660miles of cruise! I could drive from SoCar to Fla on one fillip, that's silly

 

Stevinson Toyota (west) Reese is the man! He's helped me several times procuring parts for my MR2.

This is probably the minimum (screenshot of my receipt). I left off the skid plate because I had bought the wrong one, which didn't matter, because I also had the wrong straps to mount it.


Looking at a questionably small skid plate resting on a rather large box of gas tank...


I found this thread about the swap and purchased most of the part numbers listed in the first post... turns out they weren't entirely correct. If you're wanting the skid plate, that part number is 77606-0C060. The corresponding straps are 77601-0C090, 77601-0C100, & 77602-0C120.

 

You are getting 22mpg?
More like 16-18 best case.

 

The big fuel tank would be awesome for trips. I have to stop and fill mine up ridiculously often when we take our trailer on adventures. 9-10mpg makes the gas go fast.

 

16-18?? y'all must be driving stock trucks... try 12-14

 

as far as switches are concerned you can custom your own on CH4x4.com
It’ll be the Toyota Small switch, of which you can put whatever logo and verbiage. It’s like $28 or something like that. I’ve bought a few last year for some auxiliary lighting.

 

37’s, Total Chaos lowers as well as the GOFSR awning.

11.74 long time avg.
Red dips are generally towing
Green peaks are unloaded highway trips
Lots of mixed driving.

 

Just found your page earlier today, sweet truck, no rub with the 37s?

@ 4x4bound

 

Did a bmc which solved all the rubbing I noticed on road. On full lock, the tires touch the coil over reservoir so I need to figure that out. I’m also running spacers. During this last trip, off camber sections proved I’m still rubbing somewhere in full flex situations, but not 100% where. Needless to say, I’m not sure more cutting will solve the issue so I’m not sure what’s next at this point. 35’s didn’t rub a single bit…

 

Yeah I figured you had spacers since the RW wheels don’t normally stick out that far, I’m running 35s but tires stick out a good 1-1.5” outside fender so I’m gonna go down to a 1” spacer to either stop the rub or minimize it

as far as you, you might have to hammer the pinch weld down and smooth it out? Unless you think it’s rubbing on the fender itself?

 

I’ve had some mounts sitting in the garage for a few months…how difficult of a job?

 

Big things coming...

 

Installed some duro-bumps this am. Now I'm going to go race it over some speed bumps to test them out.

 

Defense for me and the Misses

 

Gang, I'm finally doing it, let's hope she doesn't:

 

Yes yes!! Pee, my darling!! Daddy will fill you up with new fluid!!

 

Gang, sorry for littering this thread with my posts, but I didn't want to start new thread for coolant change, but it's a big deal to me, being mechanically impotent.

Anyways, passenger side block plug yielded like half a cup of coolant. Perhaps it wasn't even worth it. But what the hey! It's done!

Time to fill her back up.

Here's coolant amounts drained.



Left bucket-driver block plug [][][] right bucket-radiator.

It's possible that driver block got more coolant out because I was doing it simultaneously, so it probably got sucked towards block more, hence more fluid in the bucket.

Edit: to easier see how much total coolant. Btw, I filled 3 jugs back in and it was **just** enough!!

 

Something I wish I would have done is drain the coolant at the transmission when I did mine.

 

I installed a hypertech speedometer calibrator this afternoon. I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner, as it was a simple 30 minute job. Speedo is dead on now with my 37's

 

Make sure you properly bleed the air out of the system, don’t want an air pocket in there causing it to overheat

 

3 gallons went in, that's 11.34L. Owners manual says 4.6L w/ tow 13.2L. I haven't drained heater, so that must be the capacity difference? I kept an eye on the temps and was driving around about 20 mins with heater on full hot and temp gauge seemed to be normal? Also, no gurgle noises..



This is what expansion tank had after the drive:
