Give me your best first gen mods!

Recovery points and board/tire chains/tow rope/ air compressor. 2nd battery(deepcycle)

Eaton trutrac for the front diff. Rock Sliders.

 

I got them off Amazon and i guess they arent on amazon anymore you can try looking for em. They dont fit very tightly so when i hit a big enough bump one of em falls off. If you got really thin tape to put on the pin that goes into the slot it would probably fit perfectly. I just dont really care anymore.

 

To much going on for me.

 

Keeping an eye on this thread for any fun mods!

Didn’t even think about the spray heads!

 

Without a doubt my always on rear view camera

 

Thank You !

 

In order of least expensive to most:

Linear clutch spring - only for 3.4l, but feels much better than the stock torsion spring IMO

LED map lights - makes the map lights actually functional to unload cab in the dark

Window shades - Keeps the sun from doing bad things to the plastics and lowers the interior temp a bit

Odyssey Wiper Nozzles - Wider spray pattern and the nozzles are adjustable

Diff Breather Relocate - Cheap insurance to protect your axle seals

New Head Unit / Speakers - The stock head unit and speakers are pretty weak & bluetooth is a must.

Aftermarket seats - After 15-20 years my stock seats weren't very supportive. A new seat of Corbeaus makes driving the truck a lot more enjoyable.

 

Sooo clean!
That looks really good! I usually prefer less/simple but that looks great.

 

Thank You!

 

Did the Honda spray heads on my truck! Nice

 

Hey Rusty, Hope your 1st Gen mods are coming along. I've owned my 2001 since brand new 10/31/2000. Bought it Halloween Night, the First - 1st Gen TRD 4x4 DoubleCab to arrive at Longo Toyota. It was the only one built/factory modified with a Leather Interior special for Longo, the largest Toy dealer in the world. Here are my favorite DIY mods I have done in the past 22 years, 270,000 48-state miles.

#1- Upgraded to Tundra front brake calipers/rotors. Must have 16" wheels to clear the bigger calipers. Best mod ever, truck stops! About $350 Amazon.
2- Power Rear Sliding Window. I drive windows open and love off road fresh air. About $500 amazon plus new gasket.
3- Alpine 9" appleplay stereo with camera. About $900 crutchfield.
4- Webasto Power Tilt Slide moonroof sunroof. Fresh air! Roof cuts like butter but now solid. Was About $500 but Bidinflation and rules cause difficulty finding now.
5- Rear and Front hitches. Rear obvious. Front: plate/light holder, bike holder, trailer pusher.
6- Half Inch Cable wrapped around cat and catback flowmaster. Tight wrap and locked for cat-theft prevention.
7- Deck Lid and Snowboard Rack. Curt, about $400 amazon, fits 4 skis, 4 snowboards. Keeps stowed gear dry when racked gear is melting off snow. Upgraded to 60 pound lift struts.
8- Audi TT driver's seat. I own a TT and checked fit. Then bought a good one from wrecked TT at dump. About $40. Requires new Taco seat brace and some seat-to-brace mods. Kept the factory seat in case. So comfortable in a real bolstered seat.
9- Minor front rear 1 inch lift which with geometry added about 2".

Did everything myself in my garage. You can too!

I've had my 03 since 07, came with 66k miles. The two best mods I've done so far are:
- Air Filter housing Deck Plate mod
- Tundra Big Brake Upgrade

It seemed like I was burning through rotors and I'm a conservative driver. Did the big brake upgrade at least 3-4 years ago, and haven't had to touch them since. It makes SO much sense - the thicker rotor, larger diameter, more surface area, etc. The Deck plate mod did make a noticeable difference on hills, and for $5, why not?

 

So sick.

 

Careful with modding, you may void the warranty.

 

Sounds like you might be interested in the Tundra brake upgrade mod with your setup:
