    Tail-light bulb swap -G2 Tundra

    Had to search this one, turns out it’s simple: The 2 big silver T30 screws at the extreme top & bottom release the tail-light housing, then pull up & out at the same time. Replace bulbs as needed. I hoped those 2 screws were it, otherwise it was going to be a PITA.

    Power cord / extension cable for welders - guage wire?

    So I been using a 8/3 ~50’ cord for my older welders & the plasma cutter. - I was just looking at the literature for my 350p (Miller) - and it calls for a minimum of 4ga for 100a & goes to a crazy 1/0 per strand if you could get 600a out of it!! I’ve never seen any of the 1/0 - 2/0 cables save...

    Best / near best power switch to the winch?

    As said - I been using a SS wingnut TIG’d to a SS bolt - but we all know that’s chachi AF & if I had to kill the power it‘s 5+ seconds to get it killed. What switch are you using? Blue Sea has a great one, but the rotary shape makes it too big for underhood install. I’m fine bolting /...

    Somebody take a pic of the heater/cooler controls in the seats of a higher trim Tundra (pre-2014 / facelift) ??

    I’m kicking the idea around of a pair of used leather seats from a Platinum trim Tundra (or Sequoia if they carry over?!?) —to swap from the fabric SR5 / Rock Warrior seats up front, leather is just low maint compared to fabric IMO. If anybody can show me the area/blanks that get knocked out...

    I’m starting with that as a motto as this may work wonderfully, or be a full John DeLorean / final product.

    200 series / Tundra FR upper control arm - hoping for crossover of the bolt TQ value

    As stated, I’m about to do a Icon billet upper control arm, and their destructions don’t give the TQ value for that long-shank bolt/nut combo from the factor. Anybody here done a overhaul & had to pull/re-torque after either a upper ball joint job or going to billet upper arms? If any of you...

    G2 Tundra upper control arm bolt/nut tq spec?

    Anybody have access to that ft/# value? Part of my suspension fix involves new upper arms, and it appears that torque spec wasn’t given in the install paperwork. -It’s 1 big ~8” bolt / nut from what I can see, I’m not on the online FSM so longshot someone else has been there / done that.

    Friends don’t let friends Pro-Comp - ‘12 Tundra edition

    So to give a short backstory, my Tundra came to me via knowing the prior owner (friend of a friend) - he has $$$ & maintains toys. It’s the exact Tundra I’d have bought if I ever bought new-off-a-lot. He added a 6” lift & spent early days on 37’s as it was a chase vehicle for wide loads on the...
