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

Day shot of the finished flexidip. Hope it's okay to leave mud sitting on there for a little bit as it just rained

 

Thank you. My friend is the GM at the local RAM dealership and sends all of his custom leather work to the same company. Alea Leather is top end quality. I did not install myself. I paid $1,300 for everything including the gray stitching and heated seats. I have never had Katskin but from what I have seen they are both good products.

 

Cleaned her all up with Adam’s strip wash then clay mitt. Now time for 3 stage polish and wax!

 

Got tired of the sensitive gas pedal and installed the 440c Toyota replacement pedal. Wow, what a difference!

 

3 weeks ago I picked up this 07:


Put on Limited 20s last week:


Got a used bumper for the front and new pads/rotors for the rear next week.

 

Dv8 front bumper. $599 on ebay

 

What is a 440c Toyota replacement pedal?
Pictures?

 

Genuine Toyota (04000-0440C) Accelerator Pedal Assembly

Two 10mm nuts and a plug. Whole new truck without the feeling that you're in a rodeo.

 

Welp this is how the forum works lol I just ordered one from cool springs for $34 shipped, if it does what you say then that’s money well spent.

 

I've had my truck for 3 years and have tried my best to adapt to the pedal but it's really break neck when you hit any rough roads. It operates like a normal truck now

 

Completely agree, over rough roads it gets a little to jumpy.

 

How do/did you know that it would help? Not seeing that kind of info in the description.

 

I had the problems the OP was experiencing in this thread.

 

There is a thread on tundratalk that says it does absolutely nothing and it's all in your head lol. Talks about a shim Toyota installed when they recalled it about the mats causing the pedal to get stuck. I kind of like the sensitivity. I had a 92 4runner that I had to literally stomp on to the floor it sucked lol

My tundra has the plus and minus manual shifting and I usually use that whenever I am on a rough road or wherever I want to keep it in a little more control

 

The thread I linked showed many guys with the shim "fix" that did nothing for them. The complete pedal replacement did, however. I noticed right away the difference.

 

Interesting, a few other threads on same topic never mentioned this. Always a tuner to change acceleration curves like Bully Dog. Ended up with a Pedal Commander for our 2007 that slows acceleration when selected. This was $300ish, wish I had known about this option..
.....

 

Headlight restore today, weren't real bad, didn't want to get worse.

 

I filled the voids with egg shell acoustical foam, paying particular attention to the tool & jack compartment. I'll lay matting after it warms up again tomorrow.

 

Went to the local off road park, 1st time with the Tundra had a blast.


Day after time to break out the pressure washer.

 

Did the JRT remote start evo one worked out nice.



Just did this today Christmas came early this year.

 

I'm not sure if this is the smartest of ideas but I wired two old lights I had to the top of my head ache rack.

 

I originally wired them up to help loading in the back. Theres enough back there tho to do what I needed so I figured hey, on the cheap extra light pointing out front. Will have to test on the road one of these nights . Luckily, it gets dark at 5 now :O

 

More pics

 

Installation simple? I def need this for my twitchy 08. Maybe YouTube will have an install video.

 

I finished my road noise reduction mod yesterday... a test drive proved it was a good mod.

 

Installed door sill protectors bought off ebay. Covered old scraped paint and such. Easy mod.

 

Unfortunately this isn't going to work .not high enough to not shine through the side windows .returning to original purpose when I get 5 minutes and motivation. Will post pics

 

removed some of the last of the remaining chrome.

 

Very simple. Look at your factory gas pedal and you will see two 10mm nuts and a plug on the top.

 

Paint the platinum grille insert black? Or no?
