    there are a lot of videos on youtube. There are probably more associated with the Tundra, but under the hood everything is the same for the most part. I bought a Haynes repair manual and reference that for most of my stuff. But also, just put your hands on it and try different techniques. I did...

    Congrats. Post some pics of the rig and get er going. I bought mine high mileage and my first Toyota also, So i can tell you and I think many will agree, its a pretty safe purchase.

    2003 Limited Silver

    My black has peeled away as well. I ended up sanding it all off around the windows, back included, and used duplicolor truck bed liner. Its not a smooth finish like some people like. I like the "tougher" look to it though. The nice part about Plastidip? It easily peels off. The crappy part...

I personally am running Cooper Discover AT3 all terrains and have nothing but impressed. they go where i point them and they have held up better than a...

    Seattle 2006 SR5

    That is a nice rig Greg. I really enjoy the fact that you read the instructions, and then went with a good-ol' fashioned F-it work ethic. Usually when that happens people make some pretty cool stuff. I really like the flat load bike rack with some really beautiful bikes on the back. Cheers to a...

    2004 Can't buy it so build it the best I can.

    Been on here for a while now, always lurking, sometimes posting. A lot of dreaming though. There are some really amazing rigs on this site. I wish I could get my hands on some of the goodies that others have, but I have had a motto with all my rigs. "Don't replace it till you break it." this...

    How much lift is too much. Article Link.Lift isn't everything

    I have a reason for wanting 33's for the looks and functions, but until I truly run into a point I cannot pass, I wont get them... But damn I want them.

    How much lift is too much. Article Link.Lift isn't everything

    So my reasoning for wanting 33s and no lift is valid? Even if I cannot pull it off?

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015XVVWCA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the link to the headlight bulbs I bought. They are super bright and a great deal for the price. Plug and play and everything is included. The downside is that in our housing they are not super...

    Dome override/ headlight cutoff

    Xplorx4 said it first. I unplugged the grey connector, between the battery and the fender, and now they operate like regular lights, when you turn your lights completely off they don't have the DRL's operate. I also hard wired my fog lights to my parking lights ( was careful after a buddy tried...
