What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Front diff? Trans? These trucks have a bunch of breathers....

 

To my understanding those breathers are already up high

 

Made me think of the 1970's, though these are newer:


or the fancy ones

 

hmm... i like the vegan approach

 

The lack of bumper options is seriously disappointing. This guy has one made by Move Bumpers.

It's for a DC though. Are they wider?

 

I've seen brute Force has one and I saw another brand that looked identical to it imo, but I don't recall which brand it was.
I'm planning to buy the coastal of road bumper

 

Rear diff breather mod. Post 44 on this page.

 

Got rid of this little bastard and went with ECGS bushing

 

Man, I want to like those but their full loop option looks goofy. I want the full protection but I'm not crazy about this design.

side note, this guy has some serious alignment issues.. Those poor tires.




It honestly looks like someone tied a bow on the front of the truck.

 

They’re worded technically. But not the sheet metal, just the flares.

 

Cost wise the costal interests me. But I’d have to modify the thing a bit to remove the side protection

 

Probably running bilsteins at the top notch with stock ucas

 

Brute Force is good stuff. Not sure if they have rear options.

Iron Bull seems okay if not out of price range. A few guys on an old forum went that route. I like the ones without the top bars.

Can't speak to quality or service for this company, I saw their Tacoma bumper in google images and followed the trail to their website. The Tundra rear bumper would interes me more if it spanned the whole truck.

We don't have a lot of options for buying bolt up armor unfortunately.

 

Today I gave up and pulled both ABS fuses. I'm one of those anal SOB's that hate's having any lights on my dash but this is better than the false ABS activation.

 

I could've sworn brute force.had.one but now I can't find it

 

I have a feeling they do but they don't have it posted. There are hidden first gen items with a few companies, off the menu stuff. Like going to In-N-Out and ordering animal style fries.

@toyotech2016 do you know if they have a rear bumper? I think yours was a custom one off right?

 

Just pull the abs bulb.

 

The low tire light has been on my truck since i bought it. I hate that light. Someday I'll either buy new tmps or just pull the bulb.

 

You can just trade me trucks. Mine isn't on AND it's already tagged in TX!

 

I'm going to buy the front bumper without any tuning. Then have my buddy who's going to assemble it for me, fab a grill guard to weld onto the bumper. Something like this:


Or this

 

That looks substantially better. I'm only interested in full coverage because of instances like this. Her 4Runner was totalled last week from a deer strike. If she had a bumper with the loop it would have likely saved her rig.



Instead, all 8 airbags deployed.

 

I wish ARB would make their Summit bumper for our trucks.





All they make is the basic Safari bumper.

 

Yeah the Safari is weak. Wtf is the hoop chrome?!

 

Well coastal off roads.site.says they can do custom stuff if you request it. Or you could go the route I'm taking and order it plain, then have a trusted welder customize it.

 

That thing is totaled? Did I sleep through the world plastic shortage?

 

All 8 airbags deploying will total something pretty quickly.

 

Got my radio controls all setup in the wheel. But now I need to either find a radio harness, or add the wires to the harness. Dash harness is wired for it. But the radio harness is not

 

There is a secret one on top of the transfer case. Directly on top. Inaccessible except for one trained in Fujitsu Style Dynamic Yogi Technique.

 

What is the function/purpose of your work performed?

 

I remember one guy on here calling these aftermarket bumpers ‘damage enhancers’. I was rolling after reading it.

All that weight upfront would twork my panties as I like staying as light as possible.
