What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

that made everything make sense. LOL

 

I had no idea what the message meant either, but it really does all make sense when I read it again with that clarification. LOL

 

I don't see anything of concern jumping out there.

 

Replaced the tired looking black trim headlamp assemblies with CAPA certified OEM looking assemblies.





Also replaced the tailgate cables. I should have done these 14 years ago but neglected to.





If anyone local wants the old black headlamp assemblies I have to fabricate or play around with you can have them.

 

oh, i have no clue. & i think i heard the leds arent as dimmable, so retract my need.

 

Is that what they look like new? I forgot they had a coating on them.

 

the difference in dim is subjective to the color. White is gonna just look brighter regardless.
But if I’m correct they changed the dash cluster in 05? So eeeybody before that can swap bulbs and get cool colors.

i even fiddled with the idea of trying to find a 04-03 cluster with the same miles and swap it in.

 

If you can find the right person they can plug in your current milage to the "new" cluster assembly. Its quasi legal.

 

fuck off. Cause i really want red.

 

Lol I'm being serious. I am or may not have done this to my 93 Corrado.....

 

I may or may not believe you

 

I can or can not say you should cause NYS DMV said it was illegal and that I shouldn't do it, and if I did I may or may not be fined for it.

This is what I experience, it's not so bad.
You can go totally dark/Stealth no problem

 

How effed up are they?

 

They are dimmable. I forgot to demonstrate for you

 

pretty spot on

 

Need to sand and clear the lenses. The housing are fine. Just faded.

 

Sylvania Headlight restoration kit is the best. The original headlights are on the truck currently. It’s been about a year or so since i restored them. I’ll swear by that shit

 

I’ve decided that I need to move on from an adolescent truck to an adult truck. That’s why I removed my stickers and swapped from the black headlamps back to the chrome.

 

……… you have a snorkel bro

 

A desert runner should appreciate that

 

Diving/driving easy mistake for older eyes.

 

Oh I want one too, but I don’t think a snorkel is in any way adulting.

 

It is if you’re Australian

 

Hahaha that’s the one I’m going for, it will be custom for sure! Dumped right above the top of the truck, I was thinking 3”tube but I think I need to do 4”

 

I can’t wait for you to use the oem fipg! That little church key thing is so funny and is probably why it costs so much, but it works!

 

I also have tattoos but my older self now covers them up for work

Edit: I ran the black ones for 10 years so now it’s time to change it up. Just a change of pace.

 

By choice? I feel like the discount tire boys are pushing the limits with their displays of art…… (the owner of discount/ America tire is super anti marijuana……)
