1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Rear breather relocation mod came in today.
Odds are I will never actually need this, but it is cheap insurance.

Too bad its raining.

 

I drove across Texas once. I remember there being mountains, but I am getting up there in years so I could be wrong

 

HAH! Try the northeast thread on Tacoma world. I finally gave up - it's a full time job keeping up.

 

I had them for years on multiple cars, never hit a deer. LOL, but that was city living so....

 

So let me ask. I want cloth seats, I do not want that "rosewood" trim. SR5 will avoid the leather & 'wood' - yes, or only maybe?

 

As I've said before, When this "Wonder-product" was new on the market/scene they did in fact work.
Now the deer are accustomed to them, and this product is now more like a novelty. lol

 

I see a Mercury Mountaineer with that bumper.

 

Suppose they know vented vs. non-vented tanks?
As I recall from SAAB days some would put non-vented locking cap on & collapse the gas tank as it got low on fuel. LOL, whoops.

 

I see it.

 

Atmospheric pressure is a powerful thing most don't think about. I wouldn't have. Some things are worth the OEM price.

 

Yep. Reason I went SR5 was to avoid the leather. Still got the Captains seats!

 

Don't mind the dirt, but is the bilstein sticker in bad taste?

 

Kinda looks like the Tundra 03-06 standard front bumpers.

 

Your truck stance looks really nice now. Good on ya. I’m not much for stickers so you know my answer.

 

Wanted to upload better pictures of the injectors. @empty_lord

 

The stickers can be easily removed. The lift? Not so much. Glad I'm not the only one enjoying the new stance.

Is there anything worth saving on my old coilovers? The springs?

 

Sell those springs if you can. Not sure about saving the other stuff.

 

When you doing the install?

 

I haven't ordered the intake manifold gasket reccomended by @empty_lord yet. I was honestly not expecting these injectors to be here so soon. Keith made it seem like they were an odd item, and the bulk of his business is V8 models.

I have a few other items I need to figure out what they are, and put in an order for also. I want everything on hand before starting the job.

 

So my take on that sticker. I was looking at the pic, trying to decide if the focal point was the landscape in the mirror chrome or the varied fender gap along door vs. along A-pillar.
Never saw the sticker, so no bad.

 

Varied gap is from deer. Specifically the impact I posted pictures of in an earlier post.

That impact pushed my bumper into the wheel. I pulled off the road, and was cussing the whole time while my bumper was digging into my tire. Used a ratchet strap wrapped around a tree to pull it out enough to get home.

I need to get around to removing that panel, and seeing if I can bend it back. I can see the distance in gaps while driving, and I do not like it.

 

Cat stuck me pretty good. Can't have anything nice.

 

At least you have the grease rub on it to keep out infection.

 

Every time I look there's like 3 or 4 new pages. But when I'm up in the middle of the night cooking fat ass steaks, I just start reading. There's a lot of good stuff. I screenshot some stuff to have for later. I'm getting old so I suffer from can't member chit

 

Dawn, and some 99% alcohol will clean it right up. May tickle a little.

 

Like I told the kids - that sting is the bad germs writhing as the alcohol kills them. That's a good feeling.

 

I see that. I do prefer the chrome bumpers on 00-02. I used that bumper for a few projects. I can't push trees, cars are even crash a fence any more

 

Would a plastic Tundra bedliner fit neatly into the 'bed' of a Sequoia? Maybe trim off the top edge?

I keep reading about all the Sequoia bits upgrades for the Tundra & am starting to think, just go Sequoia with plastic bedliner & a utility trailer on the side for tall stuff.

Thoughts?

 

As far as the gap goes, here are some pictures to highlight my laziness.


For giggles I measured between bed, and cab.

Drivers side: 26.5 mm
Passengers side: 23.5 mm

I can live with it, but my not pass a certain someone's Feng shui

 

I see so many dinged chrome rear bumpers on the 1st gens, I have to think on a certain level the chrome bumpers are more tin foil. They appear to be very delicate. I dislike them for their 'false advertising'.
