4x2, V8, White. It has a borla muffler and a K&N intake on it. All badges are already removed. Otherwise it is stock.

I was going to get a 06 Tacoma DC Sport 4x4 6speed but this saves me about 12 grand. More money to spend on the Tundra

Getting two 17" wheels and 05 tail lights from ebay.

I'll try to take some pics soon.

Congrats MaukaRunner! But I still think you should have bought my truck. You wouldn't have to do any more modifications. Nah, nah just kidding. It's more fun when you modify your truck on your own. Have fun brah!

I picked up my 2000 AC last month and I already went crazy modding it. It already had mods to begin but I added more stuff to it! Too much $$$. It could have gone to a brand new 55" LCD Projection TV, or a set of new washer dryers, fridge and oven! Wife was mad until I got her a cute Pomeranian (1yr old and house broken). I guess we're all happy now!

Yeah, only two. Some guy had two for sale with caps and lugs. The shipping to Hawaii is as much as I paid for the wheels. I just need to score two more.

Anyone selling two 17" Tundra or Sequoia wheels????

Man, your Tundra is bad A$$ but a little to modded for me. We got the dreaded recon here and I don't want to get it to that point. Still trying to figure out what I want to do. I would not mind a 03 and newer front end. Anyone selling one???

I'll keep you guys updated.

I washed it last weekend and wanted to take some pics but the wife put the camera and I couldn't find it and she couldn't remember where it was. While she was gone I installed the Ironman Flares. Looks way better than the black and chrome "rubber lips" that were on there.

I got burned on the 05 Taillights. The person on ebay calims that the person who sends the parts out had a serious accident and cannot complete the transaction. Anyone want to sell me a set????

I now have six 17" Tundra wheels from ebay. I can't seem to find any locally. I want two more.

I also traded my stock Tundra 16" wheels with my coworker for 05 Tacoma aluminum wheels. For those thinking about the swap I would not do it since it moves the wheel inwards about 1/2" I'm going to put these on my 4Runner when it stops raining here.

More stuff on the way! Hopefully if everything goes as planned I'll have a true IS this weekend.:tu:

Hey sorry to hear about you getting burned on those 05 tails. Were you able to get your money back?

Do you have the complete set of the TRD Ivan Stewart decals? There is a guy selling a complete set of 6 decals for $40 with free shipping. You get 2 rear bed decals, 2 rear door window decals, and 2 emblems; one for the dash and one for the rear tailgate (some dealerships put that emblem on the rear tailgate, so I think it's optional.

There's usually sets of 16" Ivan Stewart TRD wheels on eBay. Get some tires with the white lettering out. Don't forget the black TRD floormats. However, the WeatherTech Floor Liners is a really slick solution, you can also remove the WeatherTech emblem and replace it with a TRD one :tu: . Your IS look will be near complete. Now the Classic Soft Trim TRD Luxury package with carbon fiber interior and TRD supercharger is optional.

Wow you were able to get a set of those TRD IS rear fender flares. I have been searching for two months now with no luck :cry: . My IS conversion will be on hold indefinitley. Yeah there is a set on eBay for like $700 but I'm not that crazy to spend that much; or am I :confused: .

Well good luck on the conversion. Glad to hear it is coming along. Please post some pictures!

I know. I'm going to be dropping a grand this weekend.


So far I got about $1300 into the truck since I got it not including the grand I am going to spend this weekend.

I'll be selling a whole bunch of stuff that I am taking off soon though.

I'll try to take more pics as the mods progress.

I installed the IS bumper cover and my 17" Tundra wheels Saturday all the time getting rained on.

I actually got almost all the bolt's off with the bumper on. Only the center four of the bottom trim piece got in the way and I had to remove the bumper. Actually it was pretty easy, if you don't mess with the brackets.

I stripped the paint off the grill insert and now need to get rid of the rust. I can't believe how much rust was under the paint. I hope I can finish the repaint before this weekend so I can install the grill.

Anyone have a set of white mirror covers they want to trade for a set of silver ones?

I'll try to get some pics soon.

Actually I have two sets of 17" right now. One from Tundrabuilt and one from ebay. I also have two extra 17" rims which I might use as spares

I took off the running boards since I took the pictures. I have the chrome tubes back on.

Anyone want to trade some IS rims and tires for a set of 17's????

I like the look of the truck with the chrome tubes better than the stock running boards. If I had the money, I would buy some Demello's. I may buy some black rims down the road and sell my Ivan's but they're pretty messed up. Anyone know a place in Hawaii that refinishes rims?

Your Tundra is coming along very well. Did your Tundra start off as a TRD SR5 package? Man, you can't even tell anymore. Great job! I'm lagging as usual, my IS bumper cover is not even painted yet, my front Ivan flares are also still waiting to be painted, and I am still searching for Ivan Stewart rear fender flares. I did however pickup up a set of color-keyed Limited flares, but it's not the same.

No TRD. Just a regular 2wd SR5 with rubber fender moldings. Thats why I wanted the IS flares. It covers the wheels without sticking out too far.

your truck is coming along great, it's like night and day after you changed the bumper and grill. :tu:

Hey MaukaRunner,

Any new updates to the Tundra? Post some pix. I still have not gotten my IS bumper painted because I am still shopping for a body shop. I ended up getting two sets of Ivan Stewart Fender Flares. My other set is still over there in Honolulu and the other ones are still on the way. I guess I can always keep a spare set because these fender flares are so rare nowadays. Even those $800 IS flares on eBay are no longer showing up! If I ever get a new Tundra, the flares will also fit on a 03-06 Tundra AC models but I'd have to buy black. I can't wait to get them painted and installed!

Do you plan on swapping out your body side moldings to color-keyed ones? BTW, this guy on eBay is selling the Ivan Stewart Signature Edition decal set for the Tundra (2) Two bed decals (2) access door window decals and (1) highly coveted dash emblem. $40 shipped for everything and he has two sets as of this posting.

Keep up the great work :tu: .

Not much except I got a set of 05 tails from ebay. The problem is that they don't have the harness. I thought I could jury rig the thing but the 02 sockets are way too big. When I first got them I thought the reverse light socket was the one going to give me trouble but it's the other two. Now I have to go to the stealer to get the correct harness.

Does anyone know how much they are going for?????

As for the IS decals, I think they look cool but personally I don't like to put them on my vehicles. I am having a hard time deciding to put back the TRD emblem on the grill.

Is that a picture of your truck in your sig? If so c'mon stop teasing and put the full size pic in your sig.

Did the eBay seller say he was going to include the wiring harness? If you get that harness at the 'stealer' it ain't gonna be cheap. I bet buying another set of 05 tails with the harness may still be cheaper or a better deal than buying that harness with the bulbs from the dealer. I think you'll need bulbs also and if I remember the bulb colors are not the same as the ones on the 01-04 AC models. I think on the clear lens section of the 05 tails is a colored amber/orange bulb while on the older tails the bulb is clear because the taillight already has a colored lens outside.

I'm in the process of doing an almost complete IS conversion, but I won't be adding the Supercharger or the TRD Luxury leather interior at this time. Yeah I wonder what the complete IS package would look like totally de-badged.

Yeah that's a pic of my truck on my sig. I promise that once my whole IS kit is on, I'll upload more photos :D . I finally got those rear IS flares.

I went to the stealer yesterday and the price for the harness was almost $28 each side. $56 isn't too bad. Even at that price my cost is less than the ones I was supposed to get from the lady on ebay. The only reason I did not order them was that they told me that if the ones I order isn't correct I cannot return them. Does anyone have a pic or can take one of the harness so I can match it with the parts department pics?
