    2006 Tundra DC Build

    Thanks! The fog lights are Amber Cannon LEDs from Element LED, and the shrouds are from trucks that would have not come with factory foglights. All I had to do to make everything fit was take a dremel and open the back of them up.

    I had to remove the bumper. There are 6 clips on the backside, and then you have to pry it off of the bumper without breaking it. There's also adhesive that holds it to the front bumper.

    A few updates. I caved and bought a new set of wheels from FN Wheels, along with a few lighting and exterior upgrades. I had Victory 4x4 (who is local) build me a set of sliders/steps as well. If you have a first gen double cab, and are looking for a set of sliders I highly recommend you...

    Looking at a couple 4Runners. Need some help please.

    Hey, fancy to see another guy from Kalamazoo. Good luck on your search! I got rid of my '02 back in March, you might see it wandering around town still as the new owner lives here. DSC_1071 by Blake Nichols, on Flickr

    Thanks for the suggestions! I guess I will do some more research, but if it's even remotely possible I'd like to do it.

    I'll assume you've tried because I see you have a DC yourself, but I had talked to a few different people with first gen DCs who said it was doable, just a little tight in the switchbacks. It's going to be a real bummer if I can't, that's the one trail I've been wanting to do the longest.

    Drove down to Northern Kentucky over the weekend and swapped my ARE tonneau cover for this Snugtop Cap. It's not quite as nice as I was led to believe; there's a lot of peeling paint that I'm going to attempt to make look better. However, it will work for my purposes. With a planned trip to...

    Thanks! The plan eventually is to add them. Even though the truck has lived in a rust-free climate it's entire life, I think the salt air of Florida got to the rear bumper. It's pretty rusty on the backside and is starting to bust through the front. My guess is after this winter I'll end up...

    I found them (I think) the day they came out on eBay, through a vendor called Tire Buyer. I paid just under $700 shipped and after tax.

    2006 Tundra DC Build

    Here's a few photos of my old '02 4R. I owned it for about a year and a half, and it introduced me to the off-roading/overlanding community. I moved back home to Michigan from Arizona about a year ago, and sold it this past March due to poor fuel economy.... now here I am back in another Toyota...

    2006 Tundra DC Build

    That's the iffy part, there's no recorded history of it being done, but there's a sticker on the timing cover that I can sort of make out as saying 88,xxx miles... I still need to pop the inspection cover off and visually inspect it before I decide whether I should replace it or not. That...

    Installed a set of front 5100s at the 4th perch, new OEM lower ball joints and bolts and a Toytec diff drop shortly thereafter; Untitled by Blake Nichols, on Flickr Followed that up with an H1 Retrofit using parts from TRS. Around the same time, I was having issues with the audio after...

    Had the previous set of tires (LT265/70R17 Falkens) mounted up on the new 2018 4Runner Trail wheels not long after I got it; Untitled by Blake Nichols, on Flickr

    2006 Tundra DC Build

    Hello everyone! I purchased this truck back in August, I was browsing Autotrader one night and found this for sale at a Honda dealership down in Phoenix. Ironically enough, I had just moved back home to Michigan from Phoenix last November. At any rate, I had a friend down there look at it for...
