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

Yes!

This guy off the tacoma forum. forgot his business name

 

I kinda want to steal them off my uncles truck but He also likes everything black. I have some ones I got that are ready to paint. Only oned they sell painted is Silver

 

I think I would just do the Toyota & Tundra, raise them even with clear reversing lenses, & put flat black pinstripe above & below 'connecting' the lamps.
but I also put the road runner & cartoons on my Tacoma so what do I know? LOL

 

sweet sticker tho!

 

Why is he standing in the shower?

 

Last night I was able to use my friends shop to slap a helmholts resonator on my exhaust. It would drone really bad at 1800-2k and now it's great. I can even cruise with my cutout open and I can enjoy it.

The welding is ugly but the price was right. I didn't drop the y-pipe to have it welded because I realllllly didn't want to go through the pain of reinstalling that JBA Y-pipe since its initial install was a PITA.

Also, there are about 3-4 inches between the resonator pipe and the driveshaft. It isn't as close as it looks.

 

Ordered a new blower motor on Amazon. $32, compared to $75+ locally....kinda sucks that the local places can't/won't price match.

 

Found home for the night.

 

I’d put ‘The Claw’ on him like Baron Von Rashke with Himalayan Hot Yoga Technique Style and put him to sleep real quick like Spock does with ‘The Shoulder Pinch’.

 

Well look who the cat dragged in! Welcome back!

 

Long time no see. Looks like you've been living the dream.

 

You are waaaaay too young to know about brutus the barber beefcake.

 

Thanks, glad to be back!

Yeah, I’ve seen your truck a few times passing by fuller. I gotta while I can. Been home a total of 8 days in the last 2 months. The truck is dialed in!

 

Your alive!?



I still want to copy your bed outlet setup.

 

Replaced both front CV axles, and topped off the front diff juice.

 

Black shoes

 

I went back and checked. they are 2.5's

 

Woke up early to watch the sunrise only to find out none of my camp lights worked. Found a nest on my intake manifold and a bunch of chewed wires leading into the firewall. Thankfully they just chewed wiring for lights and not something important! Looks like wiring is on the to do list today.

 

Had a buddy build a custom yak rack yesterday. I can unbolt it, and my tonneau cover still rolls up underneath. Built with 1.5" food-grade stainless tubing, mounted to 1/8" aluminum sheets that clamp underneath the rails for the tonneau cover.

I feel you on that one. One of my first posts here was about the nest I found and how they chewed on my knock sensor wires.

 

Im not sure if it was the avocado toast I had this morning or the additional night of Kroil but the axle nut came right off this morning.

Any tips for removing the diff seal? I have a cheap seal puller from harbor freight. I'm about to resume operations.

 

Just get a pliers in there and bend it up. Getting a new one in you just tap her in carefully with a punch.

 

Yeah I used the cheap puller from HF that looks like an oil giser, just be gentle not to scrape the housing to bad with leverage

 

Thanks guys. I got it out just now. I was a little concerned I bought the wrong part but I think they just changed the appearance.

 

I did the half windows on my access cab. They have been broke since I have had my truck. Now they finally close tightly. No more wind noise and no more flopping around when I close my doors woo!!!

 

The simple things. I remember my buddies 1st gen taco did that, it drove me nuts

 

My rear leafs have started to squeak.

@Professional Hand Model what pads did you replace yours with?

 

Which is the new one? Is the new one OEM?

 

Yep OEM. New one is solid black on the right.

 

Pretty sure the redesign is all that happened
