JCRob33's 2004 Toyota Tundra DC Limited

For what its worth, sold it within 2 days for asking price.

Sold it for $8,200.

Bought it for $5,000, so that seems nice.

Ironically, one of my best investments in ROI considering how little I had to put into it and how much I used it.

 

I miss the heck out of this truck. Should not have sold it.

 

hindsight is 20/20 but I will never sell mine. There are more out there if you want to come back

 

I'MMMMMM BACK BABY

Literally thought about my green truck weekly.

This popped up and I jumped on it!


1 owner. 245k miles. I picked her up for 4500.

Only bummer is its not a limited, but that's okay with me!

 

That's an incredible deal!

 

I didn't like my topper but since then it has grown on me. I actually get compliments on how she sits. Now it a thing I love on rainy days or when I am doing family road trips things stay dry

 

That's what I thought as well!

Seems to be in really good condition.

I'm half tempted to flip it, but then I wouldn't have a truck.

 

Yeah I got rid of the topper quickly. Just doesn't work for me needs.

The majority of my truck use is to carry bikes.

 

Nice find. Looks pretty good, but too bad it isn't green.

 

you've done way better with your Copart purchases than I have! Congrats

 

Kind of agree.

 

Ya I think I ended up doing 5 copart.


They raised their fees ago, so it’s not worth it now.

 

So how would you guys go about polishing these wheels?

I tried rubbing compound, which is working, but taking a lot of effort.

 

Sadly, I sold my green too and settled for a blue double cab. Can’t have it all I guess.

 

Keeping up with my random blog, here's a few updates I did:

- LED interior lights
- LED step lights
- LED reverse lights
- LED Cab lights
- Got rid of the bed cover
- Added a toolbox.
- New battery for the remote start. Works great!
- Polish Fog lights
-


Next up:
- LED fog lights
- Polish wheels
- Add tailgate cover for bikes
- Paint roof - I'm thinking I'll go black? Maybe I'll try and get some color match.
- Clean KN air filter
- Check spark plugs

 

Welcome back to the 1st Gen gang!

 

Making progress. Basically, I’m re-creating my green one.


Added toolbox. $150 - Facebook
Added bike pad. $60 - Facebook
Cleaned K&N filter. free - hand stuff on hand.

the previous owner mailed me a file of records, a few inches thick. All dealer maintenance records.
It even has a Toyota battery! pretty wild.

 

Also. For the sake of the blog…..

when I sold my green one I bought back my old Honda accord from my friend for $1800.
When I bought the red one, I called that same friend to see if he was interested in my Honda…. He picked it up that weekend of $1500.
Love that Honda, it’ll be back in 2 years or so!

 

Felt my heart drop when I saw you posted and sold the green Tundra. Then saw you came back with a red one! Phew

 

This is why I needed the truck.

we now have a 6 year old and 2 year old and like to go “adventuring”

 

In other news.
We got “new” wheels/tires on our sequoia.
$700 for the set.
Wasyyyyyy cheaper than new tires and I like these wheels more.

 

Today I gave the wheels a polish.

It made them better, but no where near nice.

First one is before. Second is after.
In the rear, I took off the wheels and shot some black spray paint in the drums.

 

What is the stock tint % that come on the truck?

 

Man, why I couldn't find one at this price here in the DMV area. These trucks don't reach that low in price in the DC, MD VA area unless there's some major flaws.

 

Get a drill or small polisher to do the job. No hand job will do what a polishing machine can do.

 

ya I jumped on it.
Normally would go for 7500-8000 in my area.

 

I actually should update. I got some goooood stuff that really helped.
Along with drill and pad.

 

Simple little $22 upgrade for the fog lights.
Getting new headlight bulbs next week.

 

Ended up painting the roof black.

 

Apparently I have a snapped sway bar link which cut up the CV axle boot.
So I order:
- LBJ’s
- CV axle
- sway bar links.



should be here in a week or two.

Sway bar links were $50 from Amazon.
LBJ’s $255 from joejoe - original Toyota
CV Axle was $200 from joejoe - original Toyota
