A note of personal experience about Jake @ HoneySeal. I was up at the SpeedAcademy track day and had a pretty major suspension issue with my FRS. I lost a rear ball joint on track. I had a 7+ hour drive home the next day. Jake grabbed his personal vehicle and ran me around to locate parts for the repair. He also helped me hold wrenches and crawled under the car IN THE RAIN without hesitation. He's a really solid person and I hope some day to be able to bring my EVO up to their shop to get the dry ice + seal treatment. Thanks Jake! Hope you see this!

[@blairwilliams136]

By the way the best bolt buster on the planet in my experience is profanity and lots of it

[@MendicantBias1]

This is 100% f*”king right

[@Orange_pickles]

Fuckin’ a man

[@csincos989]

In the words of Heisenberg..."you're GODDAMN right"

[@jameslovitt994]

I'm used to rust free southern vehicles, a northern vehicle can have me using profanity in six different languages.

[@bobbyrios2k223]

Lmfao, yes! Works everytime

[@gabaquino]

this quick build series is so good! I remember when you guys are so worried when views went down due to long and too many videos on just 1 car. this mini build series is perfect! Im happy for you guys and kept this channel alive.

[@shr00m7]

I agree, these shorter video series are a little more satisfying from a viewing persepctive. Don't get me wrong I like a complete ground up/top to bottom build, but for it to be entertaining viewing it requires a lot of planning and editing which is challenging if you're a 2-man crew.

[@garage_nostalgia]

The transformation is absolutely amazing, the new look is awesome. I cant believe the rust removal honey seal was able to do, I'm legit in shock over it!

[@Velodictorian]

That Honeyseal portion was incredible. Looks like new!

[@braydonscully4646]

@@sublimesurfacing2556how much would a job like this cost?

[@mikaeldinoto]

28:08 The results of the Honey Seal undercarriage restoration are amazing 🤯 I am completely mind-blown that an old rusty truck frame can be made brand new again. I live in Toronto and will check these guys out for my car.

[@teamrut]

Honey seal is also a newer business. Incredible work for what they do

[@shiftdowntv4511]

Just popped in to say Pete cursing his little heart out at the rust has been my highlight of the build. 🤣

[@jeremyb4493]

😂

[@Peccs91]

I drive a 13' Rock Warrior, same color. That grille would look killer on mine. Happy you went with the OEM Sequoia lights. I'm running the Alpharex lights and they are a massive piece of shit.

[@jawthaw]

The truck looks great especially the underbody…gonna miss this series

[@SlowDelSol]

You guys did amazing but that last guy truly saved the truck

[@lukasgray8955]

That's not a crimp connector under the dash with the two red rings, it's a heat shrink solder connector... 🤦

[@patrickhall782]

You need fog lights. Those bare pockets are screaming for attention.

[@aceofhz8807]

This was such a satisfying build series on a vehicle we can all relate to. I love that you guys not only updated the looks, but also the function and safety to a degree. I was amazed by the updated OEM Sequoia headlights. Props for keeping the truck and putting in the work to keep it going despite your climate fighting you every year. Thank you for showing the struggles with rust, some don't know how easy they have it in that regard. Cheers and happy new year!

[@lauzon73]

Can’t believe it’s already been 8 years with this truck! Really inspiring to see these upgrades and a great way to keep the truck looking fresh! Love the serie keep it up

[@roletnabih]

Those lights made insane transformation. Looks insane. Well done on this build.

[@MitchDore]

I just did the Rock Warrior Grille Upgrade. I definitely want the TOYOTA Grille now!

[@Jon95McC]

The truck looks amazing and knowing it's all sealed and protected must be a great feeling. I'm blown away by the Honey Seal treatment. Definitely keeping them in mind for when I get a vehicle worthy of it.

[@WOTaddict]

Good video guys. I really liked the cut of Pete swearing at the grill to him “having some time to cool down”. We’ve all been there

[@vongdong10]

Yes! Was wondering if you guys were going to do a coating underneath. I bet that was worth as much as the truck.

[@Genno1012]

Now you just need to update the seats and new leather steering wheel, and what’s up with the black inserts where fog lights are supposed to go, if you want more light the fog lights would help

[@Bob-ir4lr]

Yeah some led fogs would be nice

[@mv8193]

The winter wheels look MUCH better than the summer set. Great work guys and nice to see a couple of local guys doing good work. Cheers

[@steph9445]

Living in Calgary I’m super happy to see there is a Honeyseal location in Edmonton. Ill definitely be giving them a call for my 2017 Tundra.. Your tundra looks awesome 👏

[@danielrcoster]

The truck looks so fresh now. What a great series!

[@jundialhaqiqa9907]

That guy did amazing work on the undercarriage. I have seen people just spray on top of the rust in other videos. He actually cleaned the surfaces of the rust before treatment.

[@bobbob6472]

cool transformation, wish HoneySeal was in Halifax.

[@bobbob6472]

@Sublime Surfacing I will keep checking your web site. I just bought a new WRX and going to raw dog it this winter, but would like to protect it for next year.

[@tj_offroad]

I'm actually amazed by the result underneath the truck. I didn't think dry ice could remove rust, especially thick rust. How'd that work out, do you have a higher velocity sprayer or did you have to manually take care of some of the problem areas. Anyways great job on the whole build but especially the underside. Now it needs a super charger like the 4runner 😎

[@jasonkolker9444]

This tundra is by far my favorite car you guys have ever built

[@ReapThySorrow]

At intat precision in Rushville Indiana we make brake calipers for most Toyota's and i work there so i am so happy to see this old girl get the love she needed

[@beansandsausages]

Almost annoys me that you are not getting 2-3 million subs by now. Your content is great, I love that you are transparent with each decision you make along the way on your bigger builds and explaining why you go certain routes, e.g. which engine and trans combos you go for as well as showcasing all the fabrication work required and taking us along the thought process behind each important decision on that front too. Please keep up the good work

[@jpwilliams5264]

Im absolutely stunned at the underside work Honey seal did!! My OCD is very happy

[@andye9026]

This is so nice to see pros encountering the same problems I do. Every single project I have is like this one and not the 20 mins in and out most videos show. Thanks for making me feel normal and showing your trouble shooting processes!

[@pepcooper]

Maybe someone has already pointed this out, but just in case... Next time you should use a piece of fishing line after heating up the badge, it's much safer for the paint as you avoid the risk of scrach/dent the paint with one side of the badge itself when you pull on the other side of it, especially if the badge is metallic (don't know if this was actually metal or not, but anyway), Just something to consider. Nice job as always!

[@benlorentzen7546]

Wow....just wow. Great work ensuring this beast will be looking good for the long haul! That undercarriage transformation and front end is amazing 👏

[@adio1787]

They did such a great job on the underside of the truck!

[@4Nickk]

Love the truck series guys, would really like to see a full series on a tacoma for like a baja build or something

[@coltonkruse2313]

Holy smokes. I'm sure that honey seal treatment was expensive but WOW that was some incredibly professional work.

[@tonykasunic1]

Amazing job guys, the front end refresh and winter wheel set looks great!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Cool lights! I'm so glad that you didn't do "Blackout" style. Looks great! Seeing the rust cleanup makes me proud to live in the southern United States. Dry ice blasting is for sure a great process. I am a bit "old fashioned" and prefer white letter tires, but that's just me. Sweet truck!

[@kc510]

As a fellow salt road driver, this is inspiring. Truck looks incredible!

[@cfuzzkennedy]

That undercarriage overhaul is just amazing.

[@guralik1]

WOW what a transformation I do have to say Now you look like you take care and Love your Truck because from previous videos the Tundra didn't really looked like you cared for it too much, anyway keep up the good work always a pleasure to watch you too guys and the knowledge you bring on things is very welcoming Cheers.

[@theo.k]

4:03 those butt connectors have solder in them so you will need to apply heat to secure the connection and seal them. Just crimping them is not enough.

[@joshmcgowan4]

Wow what a transformation. Can’t believe how well the underside cleaned up!!

[@TheGoatReo]

Awesome transformation!! License plate screws would take the front over the top lol

[@shaneh734]

Love the matte winter wheel setup! Amazing job with the under blasting cleanup!💯

[@LearnToRace]

A) new front end looks awesome B) the underside looks minty fresh great work by honey seal

[@TTduckTT]

As the great Palpatine once said, "Let the hate flow through you...". I feel Pete's pain and frustration dealing with all that rust. Glad to see you guys pushed through it! Keep up the awesome work!

[@MarianVC57]

Guys, you rock! All the best for this new year! Thanks for the countless hours of entertainment, love this type of people's car build!

[@amoni1959]

Looking good! Really happy to see u dealt with the rust. That’s an amazing truck and u guys rly took it to the next level. BUT! The bronze rims looked waaaayyyy better than those other rims. Too many spokes. Gonna trap a lot of snow in between and become difficult to clean. 😢

[@SmokingDeWalt]

WOW, the underbody clean up was amazing! I would totally hire this company if I had a truck that was worth saving. Looks almost new! I live in Michigan, and it would be worth the drive to have this done.

[@brandoncasso9057]

Awesome series! You know your third brake light on your ARE Cab is out? Never ends!

[@maxagent86]

One easy way to remove the emblems after the initial heating is seesawing a fishing line behind it. Thanks for another nice video.

[@craigmiller9478]

Looks great! Thank you for taking care of that rust!!! Also, if you have a drop in bedliner in that thing, pull it out and check the bed for rust…. Ask me how I know about this…

[@speedacademydave]

It has a sprayed in bedliner, but I've seen under the drop-in ones and ya they trap moisture like crazy.

[@davetbrunner]

Of all the badass builds you guys do, the 'ol Tundra is still a winner 🏆 The best generation of Tundra IMHO. Slap on the TRD supercharger in the future? 😆

[@DudeStone]

Night and day difference exterior wise and that dry ice bath underneath 👌

[@keitholiver6045]

The tundra looks amazing!! Only suggestion would be to stealth the exhaust tips to complete the look

[@RichardLangis]

I have a '92 with FACTORY projectors that I installed LEDs into. As well as a '96 that I retrofitted with projectors. Upgrading the lighting is a no-brainer.

[@beauchamp81]

just went to take 2018 tundra for my honey seal absolutely unbelievable work by jake

[@samvang968]

A plus rebuild. that undercarriage looks night and day! great job guys! awesome series!

[@chrisp4899]

That chassis treatment is very impressive 👏 hope you guys didn't suffer too much with the winter storm

[@slfrules1]

That HoneySeal dude rocked it out! looks fresh under there!

[@timburrell3522]

Prolightz also has a really good headlight package with all the bits included. Very OEM looking and quality without the prices. Just in case anyone is looking like me. Love the refresh.

[@martyp2138]

Great series, love this channel. Currently undersealing my truck and it is one heck of a dirty job but the finish when done and preservation to the steel is totally worth it.

[@garnetheron4885]

I hope you guys tackle that rust underneath the truck don’t let it rest the way

[@Blackhawkae69]

All there is left is to supercharge that beast!!!

[@14KShadow]

I'm not a truck guy but I loved this build! Profanity was most welcome and what a transformation! Looked hella good on those glory rolling shots

[@ramonhenriquez1812]

Guys 1 more thing to make it perfect. Amber fog lights

[@vinnyvidivici]

The fight against rust is why I subbed to this channel. 💀

[@vmoney9106]

Perfect timing, I’m sitting on the crapper as I got the notification

[@starkyslp16]

Wow, the Honey Seal transformation is amazing.

[@dakotalucky13]

2 hour drive from where I live in NY! This is great!!!

[@DannysGarage]

It's lovely not having winter here in Arizona... I've never even had to buy all-season tires, just summer tires all year round. Heck, for a while I was daily driving 200tw Yokohama A052's, because why not? So much grip.

[@Daniel-RunToRoyal]

Love this Tundra!! This series was fun and rewarding!!!

[@DustinB855]

Wow gotta be one of the best looking tundras out there.

[@thestigsamericancousin4588]

This series is making me happy I live in the south where we dont get snow and road salt

[@MikeHeckert]

Great series! Though I did chuckle at the fact that you went to so much effort to de-chromed the entire truck and left the chrome exhaust tips.

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

What a transformation! Truck looks fantastic! Well done. And for everyone else... get the Honey Seal done when the car is brand new! It will be a LOT cheaper than having to blast the car.

[@andysgaragetherapy]

Wow! Underneath looks like a completely different truck! Such subtle touches make all the difference! Wow!

[@darrenlight1987]

Dental floss is a really easy way to remove badges/emblems. Floss behind same a removing glass. Also doesn't damage the paint 🙃

[@manavarro00]

12:45 add a new lower fender to the front and update your fog lights to yellow ones. Complete the look to a more modern looking truck!

[@Jabba-TheSlut]

This build series is great. Found it after I bought a 08 tundra, same coler as this one with banged up bumpers and tail lights. Can't wait to give it a glow up with your light recommendations and getting rid of the chrome

[@kylehasfun3114]

Nice, love the rig. I also have a 2012 Tundra, and did the '18 Sequoia swap a few years ago as well. Just a heads up to anyone else reading, you can also use the 20+ OEM Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro Grille, it bolts right in like normal. No adapting needed, and its an OEM quality piece.

[@TheF41nt]

This transformation is so fucking unbelievable. One of the best i've ever saw. Good job, guys, really.

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

Those mamba wheels are freakin sickkkk!!!! The lights alone makes it 10+ years newer

[@solontan7821]

Great job on the tundra, the truck looks great and more modern now. I might look into the honey seal for my family's tundra. Really enjoy your videos.

[@quintili1]

That was quite a transformation through this series. It was entertaining to watch.

[@pakohernandez8888888]

Wow! Everything you guys did on this video is amazing. Really good job! 👏🏼

[@pabloretana1]

Really excited you guys mention "Costa Rica" !!!!! Greetings form a fan down here

[@antbymcnair4297]

What an awesome transformation men! Now I want to update my 07' to look better.

[@jeff-le1tp]

Best vids on your channel are about this rig!

[@goldblueberries326]

The gun metal powder coated wheels look great... 👌 you are correct on the choice of winter wheels. Looks great

[@Joe-cu4hi]

What an awesome upgrade on a nice Tundra turned handsome head turning Tundra!

[@elvinklit]

Those lights front+back, front grill and back bumper... Makes that Tundra like 10 years "new'r"... I like it A LOT!

[@martinsteele345]

That truck is amazing!

[@carlyeremian]

Oh wow. Not the same truck AT ALL. So so so very nice. Great job! I love this kind of content. I love that you guys did stuff that made sense! It’s a brand new truck! Happy New Year!

[@MrP1NEAPPLE]

I don't know if you guys ever plan on doing any crazy mods to the tundra but I would definitely recommend looking into the same generation sequoia transfer case. It allows you to drive the truck in fulltime 4wd with a locking center differential and that has huge improvements in the wet, slush, snow and ice compared to your traditional 4x4. It still has the locking center though for a true 4wd 50/50 split and low range for more torque depending on your application but it is a very neat modification (although expensive) for this generation and this generation alone of Toyota Tundras. I would love to see a rather popular channel such as you guys tackle a project like that because of it's uniqueness and also the area where you live is the most effective for a driveline modification such as the sequoia transfer case swap. Keep up the good work though your guys' content always brings a smile because of the consideration you guys put into each mod or maintenance item.

[@klajoye481]

As a Michigander - I’m super jealous of the honey process - is there anywhere in the states that do that?! That was unreal.

[@qouavang3646]

The tundra is my favorite car in your shop even over the gtr!! Love tundys

[@psycho-nutkase9233]

🤤 More Tundra Please, should do Rigid Flood flush mounts in the rear bumper for extra reverse lights and Rigid amber fog lights in the OEM pockets, if the light harness is there should be a plug in play with changing out the light stalk to one with the fog light switch.

[@eddiesmith1982]

That honey seal is beautiful, I'd love to bring my Tundra in for the treatment.
