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

I really don’t know why he doesn’t like it, just keeps saying he wants a truck.

 

More specific he wants a Tundra. He is a really good kid, so I am trying to reward him.

 

I’m open for adoptions if your looking

 

I like that look. I feel like there's a lot you could do with it.

I'd like something similar to this, but with some tubing extending around the sides.

 

man those old runners are badass. id love to find a clean 5 speed 3.4

 

*Cough Cough, not feelin so good, think i caught disnitous!*

 

I'd kill for a 3.4 with a 5 speed and a Supercharger

 

rare bird those are.
my spare 3.4 and a340f came from a rollover 4runner. too bad i couldnt save that one.

 

I actually think I am getting a cold but my wife will be damned if that keeps me from flying to Denver this week.

 

Paint it black and he will change his mind

Speaking of black paint, I just picked up a can to hit my new drums with. Considering painting the inside as well (not where shoes touch) to be safe. Also grabbed another can of Lucas synthetic super dot 3 and 4 cans of brake cleaner. I have no choice but to start doing my brakes after work every day this week.

 

No joke man. She complains about me spending money on brakes, which we need, but lets spend $150 each to get into Disney plus $25 to park. We'll be out $400 by the time we eat lunch. I'm about to start coughing up a storm.

 

One of the reasons I'm broke is a recent trip to Disney haha. Must be in the air!

wow that black one hasnt sold yet??

srunners are pretty badass trucks.

 

There was a 3rd one but I guess it sold.

 

grill situation stil bugging me. whats everyone thoughts on what i should have?




trucks done. kinda thinking the black. but i'll have it done in the spring. need to recoupe my $$ might pick it up tomorrow if i get a chance

 

Black looks siiick

 

yes. i do like it.



my wallet really hurts now though. i just pulled all the cash out of the safe for the work to pay him... eek. i mean is small for what was done. but it still hurts!

 

Seeing how BLUE is out of the question, I like the first one.

Is it my imagination, or is she not sitting square? Looks to lean to the driver's side a little.

 

its the photo angle.

 

I totally understand. I'm done buying truck stuff til 2020. The only mods I'll be doing for now are things I've already bought but haven't messed with. Like installing my spidertrax wheel spacers, wiring my ditch lights, cutting the back of my front wheel wells for more clearance, adjusting my coilovers for the added weight of the front bumper, adjusting my driver headlight. That's probably it

 

Relief to know. I've sunk money in a Chevy 3/4 ton build only to walk away with a truck with a twisted frame not seen until the work was almost done. I was walking with the aid of two canes at the time, courtesy of a young filly, and unable to really see what I had bought after another friend drove it for me and recommended it for a work up. Traded it and cash for a very fine red Tacoma V-6 that the wife totaled within the year. Haven't bought a Chevy since, nor let my wife drive my Tundra.

 

i still have to do the front suspension. but thats it for 2019.

 

You work at a dealership right? Can you find out what size bolts connect the 00-03 front bumper to the side of the frame?

 

if i had to guess a m12x1.5 bolt.
with a 17mm head.

could also of been a m10x1.5 bolt with a 14mm head

 

Cool I'll try those out in the morning. I think it's probably the latter.

 

reread my post. i editited it because i had a brain fart. the m14s are massive lol

I need a bracket like the one at the 5 min 20 sec mark.
Not sure why coastal off-road didn't account for this.

 

Yeah I'm almost certain it's not a 17mm head. That's the size of the front support bolts though

 

rear bumper is a 17. front i believe is the m10x1.5 with a 14mm head. if i had the truck right now id go check, but i wont till maybe tomorrow (weather permitting) or friday.
