What is the clear coat you used on the head light?

Nice Tundra! I also just picked up a 2005 SR5 4WD Tundra with 214k miles. These are great trucks!

I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab 4X4 I bought New. 10 years ago I got a letter from Toyota about Frame rust. I brought my Truck To My Local Dealership where I bought the truck. They gave me a loaner Vehicle. The next morning I got a call From the dealership. They said that the frame Was Like Brand New and Didn't need a Frame. I told them I Am a mechanic and I always pressure washed the underside of the truck in the winter. They Said The mechanics were Impressed How Well the frame was and that they would spray the coating on the frame. I got the truck back . When I used the turn signals the relay cycled fast which means one of the lights is not working. When Checking They forgot to hook Up One of the wire harnesses . Also I checked and saw they scratched the cab of the truck when they reinstalled the bed of the truck which they removed to spray the coating on the frame. 2 years later the coating started pealing off and rust was on the frame which was not on the frame before they applied the coating. That was Proof they didn't clean the frame before applying the coating which sealed in any contamination that was on the frame before the coating. That Dealer Destroyed My Truck. Before Bringing The Truck To The Dealer The Frame Was Like New. I Should Never have Had That Recall Done. The Frame is All Rotted Now And Does NOT Pass State Safety Inspection.

I can smell the goo gone from here! Lol. Stuff works great

LMAO we have the exact same truck.

You don't play around with the cleaning dude. You went above and beyond and did a lot of things that many others would just be OK with. I have an 2006 Tundra SR5 and you make me jealous of the Limited model.

Nice! Congrats! I have a 2004 Tundra DC Limited. It’s fully built for overland travel. I just went on a 2600 mile trip through 4 states. Drove it through hells revenge in Moab. These trucks are tanks and the 4.7 is amazing. I have owned the truck for almost 10yrs and will never sell it. Always looking for the next adventure. Keep truckin! 🤙

I have a 2004 DC I bought new, still my daily driver. Best vehicle I have ever owned. I see you are in the rust belt? Hopefully you checked that frame out thoroughly?

Awesome! Finally! Definitely an upgrade from the last one!

Nice truck. My gf and i both went ooooo when you did yhe headlights

what did you use to clean the red exhaust manifold?

good job

Thank you. Very detailed. Not a lot of material online on the 2nd gen matrix

can you link those speaker adapter plz, man i bought one pair but its too small for the original hole

What size speakers are those???

oh man. My heart hurts. I just bought 2006 Tundra DC. Why? Because my beloved f150 was totaled. Just a couple of months ago..All that beautiful work you did. Poof. You still should be proud of your work..Thanks

Do you know if the newer access cabs (04-06, or 05-06) have the same door speaker setup as the double cab? I'd love to have my speakers set-up like that in the front doors.

I appreciate the lack of unnecessary yapping in your videos.

YOU INSTALL WITHOUT HEARING THEM AT THE END THIS VIDEO HAS NO HAPPY ENDING 😕

Those are very cool. I think those are the ones I want for my Tundra.

This was a fantastic video my friend. Heartbreaking too. I have a 2000 1st gen Tundra that belonged to my brother-in-law. He bought it new and my sister gave it to my after he passed a few years ago. Mine definitely needs a front end refresh along with new u-joints and carrier bearing. Your video will definitely help. Thank you 🤟

Great video brother start to finish, glad to have read the pup is alive. Feel like working on another one? I have an 03 looking to to the same. I’d be willing to make the drive up from NJ

rust bucket

Glad you’re OK!

new subscriber!, all your videos help me a lot, I have a tundra that belonged to my father and I want to repair it for him

As someone who also owns a 1st gen, I was thoroughly enjoying the video and excited to see what else you planning on restoring or upgrading on it next. Man, my jaw dropped when I saw that ending, I hope the pupper was safe, and glad your still around but honestly my heart goes out to your ride man. It's one thing that weighs on me as im fixing up my 02, whether all the work, money, sweat, tears and blood going into it will just disappear one day. I'm saddened by that ending but I hope you pick up another project and not lose your stride my man, your format is good and I love seeing these old pickups get some attention.

Hey! did you get urself a new Tundra? I own a 2006 tundra, Windsor,ON CA :)

👍👍👍👍👍

Omg, all the work put Into restoration, gone. Hit me like a truck. Best of luck with any new projects!!!

Hey what mounting bracket is that for the rear speaker? Thanks

Just buy the components,the cheapest components will sound better than the most expensive coaxls spend the extra $ on components& sound deadening materials people are so lazy!

Great vid. But I just wanna know if the doggo is ok?

Dude that’s an amazing job you did awesome

Why would you reuse the same lower ball joint?

I loved the work you did to it. Sorry for the loss of your truck

Where you buy the sway bar links ?

Something I’ve been putting off for a while on my 2006 thanks for the tips great video

You put drivers in an empty door panel, and it sounds like drivers in an empty door panel. Need sound absorbent and waterproof rear covers so sound does not echo around empty door space, producing midrange bloating.

I’m having a hard time with my 05, still not out of love with it though. Strange spot for a starter! Looks like Hamilton. I’m in Niagara.

Dud you fix it ...or sell it ..it's worth saving

Shit sad 😢

What size drill bit were you using to make the last 10mm go in?

Simply speakers makes a foam replacement kit for the factory speakers so you don’t have to butcher anything and not sacrifice volume.

Where did you get those side window deflectors?

Should have replaced the ball joint that’s prob why you crashed

My condolences on the loss of your truck man that's a damn shame. Especially after ALL THAT WORK YOU PUT INTO IT, I'd a been SUPER PISSED.

OMG!!!! why on earth did you butcher your wiring for some cheap speakers man? YOU COULD HAVE "RETAINED" the COMPONENT speaker setup very easily and added a 300w XED 6.5 CERWIN VEGA set on EBAY ($60 tops with free shipping), this would have been an easy replacement. Ebay even has the SPEAKER MOUNT ADAPTER PLATE to allow for you to mount the component set in THE STOCK LOCATION. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🥶🥶 Omg this hurts just watching....

Good video do you have the part number for the brackets front and rear?

It seems like a unnecessary step to cut the old connector to put a pig tail with spade connectors would it not have been the same to just put the spade connectors on the speaker...
