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

I started the install and noticed a problem. The passenger side marker light lens isnt snapped in properly. Anyway to fix this?

 

Indiana Green Lighted the warranty repair, so I dropped the topper off this afternoon.
This is the first time the truck has been without it's Leer top since 2003, and I must say that it looks damn good topless. I'll post a picture after the remnants of Barry O pass by... I'll be topless for an estimated 6 to 8 weeks!

 

How much did those run ya? I'm about due for new ones

 

Well, that lens cap popped off the first time i closed my door. For fuck sakes.

Bulb is a number 168.

They're $140 USD.

 

It will be sweet if they opt to replace vs repair. You could get a brand new one! Either way, it's good that they honored the warranty.

 

I asked the guys removing the top if they have ever seen one this old go back for warranty, all of them said no.

 

looks like I have some cutting and welding to make these buckles work. Oh well. Should be strong and safe to use as a belt when I’m done...

 

@Outbound that's shitty. See if they can replace it, otherwise you'll have to bake it in the oven and pop the lens off. Then bake it back together. Not hard but it's a messy process.

 

Yeah. He should be good hopefully. My side marker leaked and I got a whole new pair through Big Gurl.

I’d silicone it up and wait for a new set. If they don’t send a new set, let your CC company deal with the refund then order another set from another company.

 

well put her to work again today... about 3000 lbs in the bed. had to move the rest of our brick to the neighbors house 2 blocks down. kinda impressed how well this thing handles this shit, obviously wouldnt overload it like this for more of a drive..

 

Can someone explain how to do the CV boot mod? I bought hose clamps and tried to stretch the outter cv boot in, but it wont budge. The fins are not that close, I'm on 4th notch of billies.

 

Yup. When I had stock leaf springs I filled my bed with sand twice to deliver to my brothers house. It was about a mile away on a secluded road, not sure how much weight it was but I was riding just above the bump stops.

 

i'll tell ya this, Thing handles weight way better than my dads 02 taco.. and anything handles weight better than my 01 tacoma with the deavers!


Icon 3 leaf add a leaf i think is going on this truck.. i want a bit of rake and a higher front end.

 

I needed some sand for a patio project and went to my local guy. He asked,"You want a full yard? I see Tundras do it all the time." And without thinking said yup since I had just gotten a yard of mulch the prior weekend. While he was dumping it I had that oh shit moment when I realized that play sand is close to 100lb/ft3. Luckily its about half a mile from my house because it was 100% on the bump stops and they looked like a can of busted biscuits. I couldn't get it unloaded that day and leaving it like that scared the crap out of me so I used my jack on the trailer hitch to take some weight off of it.

 

First of a 4 day roadtrip to Kalispell, Montana and Flathead Lake. I've got the bed completely loaded down with luggage, coolers and dog supplies under the tonneau, covered 533 miles with no issue except that the engine definitely has to gasp a bit once you hit inclines at elevation. Easily solved by turning off overdrive. Averaged about 16.5 mpg today, figure that's probably around the best I'm going to see with the 265/75s since 18 was the best with the 245/70s.

 

Any simpler to swap over belts/latches?

 

That's not the way to the IE or San Fernando Valley !

 

a 05 seat.

 

2wd or 4wd? I can't recall.

 

This is a 4x4

 

Working topless... for the first time in about 16 years.

 

Apparantly @Professional Hand Model got a 3 day ban for "COC Violation" whatever that means. Could we be anymore vague?

 

Naughty photos of hands?

 

Wtf, did he model a middle finger to a Mod?

 

Code of Conduct, most likely the political mention the other day.

 

I think I missed that

 

Yeah I figured he would when I read that post the other day.... Something about donkeys

(In the add a leaf thread)

 

I vaguely remember that now

 

Another 420 mile jaunt down today. Truck did great, wife and I are ready to be in Kalispell and not driving anymore though. Pulled 19 mpg from Farmington, NM to Moab, then promptly got about 15 from Moab to Salt Lake City via Arches National Park. Tomorrow we'll be in Yellowstone, not sure where we'll stay the night yet, but likely on the north or west side of it.

 

Getting ready to drive back home from Mexicali now. What a long trip ahead. 227 miles, 5 hours if I'm lucky.
