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

I am interested on your feedback with the rear setup. I been debating on their complete package but was bummed out on the foamcell pro setup up front issues

 

When I get my truck back from alignment and get some seat time I will update with my thoughts. I got about 3 miles on it right now. Very first impression is that it rides very close to my pop's 21 while my old wore-out struts were pretty squishy. Time will tell and I will get some more spirited driving in as well.

 

Out with the old....



On with the new..

 

I have the IM leaf springs, but not the shocks. I am running Fox 2.5 shocks with DSC in the rear. If I had to do it again, I’d go with a different setup. The leaf springs ride about the same as stock while providing a lift without the need for coach builder or ToyTec shackles. I would go with more of a progressive leaf pack if they weren’t such a bitch to replace. The process is straight forward, they are just heavy and you really need a helper. I say progressive, meaning smaller leafs but more of them, like Deaver for a smoother ride. Though I think I paid about $600 shipped for my IronMan leafs compared to $1k+ for Deaver but I am not ranting or raving about them even when paired with adjustable performance shocks.

 

Installed an eBay android radio and backup camera.

 

Best Mod Ever!!!

 

Gutted the old plywood shelf and the Toyota plastic bed liner. Checked for any rub and rust.
Did a rattle can bed liner.
Installed Ironman 1300 drawer system. With 6’5 bed it has about 2’ of empty space behind it and 18” on side.
Put 3/4 plywood on top, foam gym floor panels and then carpet.
Cut in space hatches and side “wings”. Added a small gun safe for safe keeping of keys /wallet etc when out riding or hiking.

 

Faux TRD Grille install.

I know, I need new headlights…

 

Get yourself a Cerakote headlight restore kit. Follow the instructions and they will look like new again

 

Ordered one a few hours ago off Amazon. It’ll be the third time I’ve “restored” these headlights though.

 

That’s because you need to clear coat them to prevent oxidation from returning. If you want them to last, get SprayMax 2k clear coat. It’s pricey but my headlights look new after I restored and clear coated them 2 years ago.

 

I just did mine using the Meguire's restore kit. It has the sealant included. Seems to work ok.

 

Got the back up camera/gentex monitior mirror for the 07. Also got a great deal on Summit Racing (believe it or not) on a Gibson dual exhaust. Love both but the truck fund has been deleted for now.

 

The best is the turtlewax kit. Cheap and works fantastic. Comes with a ceramic coating to wipe on when you are finished. Here are my infiniti headlights before and after. Took less than 30 minutes.

 

What did you tap it into?

 

Where did you buy the mirror + camera setup? Looks good!

pricey but took less than 30 minutes for full install.

 

Done!

 

Change the exhaust sound/volume at all?

 

Negative. I kept the muffler and haven’t noticed any real difference which is good. I don’t care for loud exhaust.

 

Drove up to the cabin - one of my favorite places on earth

Parked next to my old man’s new rig. Trying to convince him on the chrome delete…

 

That 2nd gen looks much better that that 2.5 gen.

 

true true

 

I thought the same thing

Thanks gentleman!

 

Assembled and put on the @RCIoffroad trans skid plate and cat shields. I really enjoyed putting it together and it fit like a charm. Just couldn’t reach one of the driver side bolts. Also, I don’t have a front engine skid plate, yet. My truck never came with one. People have been getting their cats stolen left and right so I finally feel better. Thanks @RCIoffroad for a great product!!!

 

Not really "Done to", but more it has done for me....

Today we hit a definite milestone: 250,000 miles

Certainly not an anomaly, but it's my first vehicle that I've owned and driven from new to 1/4 million miles

Thank you Tundra!!!


Happened here w/an FJ behind me....



Hope everyone had a great weekend as we glide into Fall!

 

Very nice, any major repairs?

 

Toyota will send you a window cling for high mileage. The details are here: https://tiremeetsroad.com/2020/11/2...-every-100000-miles-your-odometer-rolls-over/

 

No, sir. Water pump, T-stat (twice), AC compressor (recently) and starter (at about 215,000) and maintenance!!!

 

That's neat. Thank you!!!
