Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
1,208 days I owned my 2005 Toyota Tundra limited for. I waited 6 months to make this video to reflect on my decision and if I regretted it or not. Don't worry, there will be more Toyota content coming out real soon :)

Nice!!…
Pretty sad day but excited to see the next truck! This truck is how I found your channel a few years ago originally. Very tastefully modified, one of my favorite 1st gens I've ever seen.

How much did you pay?
Coming up on 20myears on my 04 Tundra. Gonna keep it. 28K new compared to 65K new today. F those new vehicle payments. Just gonna upgrade this one with a 10 inch stereo, new wheels, camper shell, TRD custom grille, retro fit led projectors headlights, bushwhacker fender flares. I think that’ll do it for me. Maybe a rear locker. Live in Az so ZERO rust.
What truck lasted a million miles? Toyota Tundra Victor Sheppard, the man who famously drove his Toyota Tundra for over a million miles, is on the verge of achieving the extraordinary milestone once again.
I followed you because of the tundra - I had a 2006 4x4 almost identical to yours except it was an SR5. Sold it because I left the States, but now am looking into a Lexus GS450h so I’d selfishly recommend you get one of those :)
I've had my 06 DoubleCab since a wrong way driver totaled my 80 series Landy on I5 about 2 years ago. I love it for the improved comfort, interior space, having a bed, and drive-ability on road but it'll never match the triple locked 80 on 35s off-road no matter what mods I do. Definitely a great truck though and I don't regret the purchase or the money I've spent throwing parts at it.
Cool to see from your perspective! Awesome video man
i've had mine for 2 years now. longest i've owned a truck is 6 yrs... it was also a Tacoma which i sold for 20k and bought my tundra for 15k.
is it weird that this is my dream truck? perfect size in and out.

They are a great size!
Just got a brand new 2024 Titan XD pro4x and guess what will happen to my 2006 DC Tundra? Nothin! Im keeping her. Your channel was my inspiration for my Tundra lift. I did the exact set up you did and it rides fantastic!
That is one nice example. The paint combo is incredible
Sad to see it go, this truck started my intro to your channel. Still curious as to the window deflectors and the tonneau cover.

The bed cover was a bakflip cover, and the deflectors I forget what the brand was as they were on the truxk when I got it
Looks nice and sharp especially for the age. Thanks for the inspiration to paint the grill. My 2nd gen tacoma has a chrome finish, amongt everything else black, so it definitely looks out of place. This tacoma has been super reliable, except for the rear drive shaft. The carrier joint snapped 600 miles from home. I replaced it with a one-piece aftermarket unit and it has felt much more solid. In regard to vehicle content, you're limited to whatever will make you happy and motivated to work on and share. From that subset, you could consider which might generate more social media following--i'm guessing anything too niche may not get very far. I think Honda 2000s have gotten a lot of popularity the last 5-7 years, as reflected in their 200-300% markup. If i were a betting man, i'd guess Miatas and Z3/Z4s might be next, since they've become more the value-line of options now relative to the S2000 from what I can tell.
Is that a Sony 9500ES? If so, do you have any issues with it? I'm about to pick up a 05 DC and I'm looking for a head unit and this one is a top choice, although the screen size worries me as I believe it would interfere with the vents. Any input is appreciated, great truck!!
How do you think the headlights are holding up? Do you still recommend them?
What size tires were these? any spacers and did they rub?
I bought my new SR5 Extra Cab new in March 2004. Going on 20 years. Bought and Paid for. I still take it to Toyota Santa Cruz for the basics. The Service MGR bugs me to buy it.. For himself.
My '04 Access Cab Tundra has anchors for child restraint seats behind the passenger seat. Very odd in my opinion that yours did not. I don't see me ever giving mine up unless it's ever in a wreck. 318K miles on my daily driver and still going strong.
How many miles when you sold it? How much you get for it?
Im looking to buy a 1st gen tundra. Whats the max KM i should buy like 300,000km? is that too high? i live in canada so we dont do miles.
The weak brakes and turning radius are my only issues with my tundra.

@@Garagetopics I got you lol. I actually already have a $500 hard top tri-fold bed cover on my Tundra now, I just like the one you had better due to it being even more low profile. Anyways thanks for the info and keep up the good content.
How much did you let it go for? thanks
Good video sir, I got a question, we emailed you for inquiring an opportunity of auto LEDs lighting review but never heard back from you, Is the email stuck in your spam folder or that is something you are not interested.
Did he mention how much he sold it for and how much he bought it for?
Sorry you're a nice guy, but I only started watching your videos because of the 1st gen Tundra. I upgraded my 2001 toyota tundra sr5 4wd access cab for around $300. doing the work myself. I think many own their Toyoda's for life like a commented relationship, but I understand some people make a living selling them.
Let me buy that thing! Please!
