    Manual for my 2011 calls for new plugs every 30k. If you're at 140, you should probably do that asap as you are on borrowed time.

    Any one got a set of stock 2nd gen taillights they want to get rid of cheap, I'm gonna do an LED experiment and dont have an extra set to mess with, I'll be more than happy to pay for them plus shipping as long as they are cheap because they will be taken apart and used for molds, thx for any help.

    iPhone connected to bluetooth. Use steering wheel to initiate phone calls. Even though the phone call is ended with
    steering wheel controls, I still see phone connected when looking at screen. Stays for 5 minutes or more, finally cycles
    out. Any ideas how to make it better?

    As stupid as it sounds, reboot the phone. When I was using the factory setup I had a similar issue from time to time and rebooting the phone would temporarily resolve it.

    Changed my factory spark plugs to Denzo iridium a oil change back. Started noticing a intermittent misfire with no CEL (only happening in gear at a complete stop). Cleaned my MAF sensor, cleaned my air intake, cleaned my throttle body and still continued to misfire. I ended pulling my plugs out and one of the plugs was cracked. I ended up going with NGK iridium this time around and it’s running super smooth.

    I started fixing a few things on my 2010 TRD Sport Pkg Long Bed and got inspired to invest in it a bit in the upcoming months... Once I started working I forgot to take pictures, I'll try to do better on upcoming projects.

    IMG_2745.jpg

    HUGE THANKS TO TW tons of info on DIY projects! here's what I've done in the last couple of weeks:
    • Replaced the burned Harness to the HVAC A/C blower (blower still has a ticking noise, may need to be replaced)
    IMG_2677.jpg
    • Drilled out the broken Exhaust Bolt and replaced with another ... (still has minor leakage) I think I might need to replace the Y-Pipe if anyone has any suggestions, I've only found the OME at $900!!! need a cheaper solution
    IMG_2732.jpg IMG_2736.jpg

    • Dynomat'ed all four doors (trying to reduce cabin noise, about 6 years ago I removed all the seats a carpet and Dynomat'ed everything front to back, finally got around to doing the doors, since I still had a box of Dynomat).. had to order some replacement retainer clips that I lost/broke in the process
    IMG_2741.jpg IMG_2760.jpg

    • Installed the Headlight Service LLC's +Premium-Plus Headlamp Wiring Harness, Power-Switched... it wasn't what I expected but it is definitely an upgrade.
    IMG_2759.jpg

    • Replaced Burned Headlight and Turning Light bulbs
    IMG_2751.jpg

    • Replaced the Bulbs behind A/C Climate dash controls (I had replaced it in the past, this time I went with cheap LEDs off Amazon, will see how they hold up)
    IMG_2757.jpg IMG_2761.jpg

    • Removed Factory Installed 3M paint protective film (after 9 years it was full of mold and nasty looking).. Heat gun, plastic scrapers, goo gone and patience
    IMG_2714.jpg IMG_2715.jpg


    Coming in the next two months....
    Replacing torn front CV Axle boot.. just waiting on the part to arrive
    IMG_2730.jpg
    • Full Polish and Wax Job, Carpet and seat shampoo and Engine Compartment wash (still iffy about having the engine compartment washed) found a local place that will do the job for $280, from what he showed me I think its a great deal, brought the paint back to life. Wating to get the axle boot fixed before I get it done...
    • 3in body lift with possible spacers to fit 285x75x16
    • Nerf Bars
    • Roof Rack

    Yes 4.5" bs. Try a color match on them. The Sequoia/ tundra wheels are getting hard to find so $150 is a steel

    Wheels and tires


    I love the wheels after I painted them but I cleaned the shit out of them sanded them down taped plastic to the tire cleaned all the dust off them very well then painted with rustolium outdoor spray paint and boom let sit for 24 hours and was good to go the whole thing took like 4 hours but worth it beats paying 500 at a paint shop

    Well my transmission finally showed up earlier this week, so today finally got it all mounted so i could clock and drill for the transfer case!
    Then I made my fuel hard lines while everything was still out.
    Then i put it all back in so i could start getting things pieced together, I know i'm gonna have to pull it at least one more time before its all said and done but i think i can get it fired up at least before i do. Now tomorrow i'm off to get my driveshaft modified or have a new one made.
