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

@RustyShackle323

I second the how to write up.

 

Yep.

You'll probably need the clockspring. I don't think they came with the correct one prior to 04 or 05.


If your radio can program resistive type buttons, you won't need any additional parts from crutchfield. Just wire the 3 wires to the radio (or sometimes 2 wires w/resistors and to the radio ground).

 

Here's a sampler platter. I added a clock to all these hyperlapses going forward unless it falls off the table, and goes kaboom.

I thought it was a good idea.

FYI....flip your phone sideways and voila, full search...

 

I actually drove it a little this week and it rolled into six digits.

 

Your truck (5 speed auto) requires the WS fluid. PHM is rollin' ol' skool with a 4 speed auto and can run more conventional ATF. There are some alternatives to the Toyota branded WS that are cheaper.

 

Plug and play. They have the cutouts for the buttons

 

While cleaning up the drivers side drum I found a stud hole to stud hole crack on the inside. Not sure if it came that way or not because I didn't verify structural integrity when I got these at auto-bone.

It's not through to the otberside yet.



Safest bet would be to replace the drum, eh?

 

I’d say replace. If it’s Duralast brand it might be a lifetime warranty part.

 

It is durablast. Local autobkne won't answer the phone. I can't find my receipt either.

Never done that before so not sure if I even need a receipt. Maybe I put it on my account back in July.

 

Good eye catching that, definitely replace.

 

Generally just need the phone number you gave when you bought it for warranty. Ive even had them pull shit off my old phone number that I bought when I first got Taco in 06

 

Well, looks like I'm going to town then.

 

Yup... OEM if you can swing it... I’ve had 0 luck with afgermarket

 

Oem will have to be later down the road. Wallet is getting tight like sphincter.

Now that I know how to pull drums I could do a monthly check I suppose.

 

Full send with the inline 4 cylinder, 5 speed...

 

I always liked those Nissan trucks, just prefer less plastic up front. The early Frontier with the steel bumper is a good one.

 

I like the way this truck drives, and handles.
It's a good time on 4 wheels at 85mph.

Feels like the whole truck is shaking apart.


I once drove this during rush hour on the interstate in clarksville Tennessee between exit 4, and exit 10. You couldn't drive a toothpick in my ass with a 10 pound sledge.

@Siebler was correct. Phone number did the trick.


Free.99 all day long!

 

I found my post back in June. Key words I remembered was "check point charlie."

Another example of remembering things that have no help on my day to day life. @FrenchToasty

 

Today I drain and filled the transfer case. Was kinda pointless because the fluid looked really good still but supertech is nice and cheap!

 

Summer tires are on.

Same here. Actually the dealer wanted a fortune to do it so I took it to my mechanic.

 

Ordered some extended wheel studs from supreme suspensions. Trying too make sure I do this spacer thing right.

I almost went with the Lexus is300 studs but I would’ve had to order 3 sets

 

Nissan had a great truck thing going on for decades (if not quite up to Toyota standards, but the "hardbodies" got close)....I lusted after one of these....




I think that new Frontier is the best attempt at a Tacoma copy visually so far by any competitor....given my disappointment with the 3rg Gen Taco if I was shopping new midsize, I would definitely give it a test drive...

 

Guys, please help me out... I feel silly asking but I am not finding an actual part number for this half of the master cylinder that mounts to the brake booster. My next project is literally replacing/rebuilding all but just a few lines and the ABS module. But I can’t for the life of me find a part number for this half of MC. It’s actually making me a little mad lol

Parts diagrams whether that is with Toyota or aftermarket do not really give a fair amount of confidence I am actually getting that half with the actual MC.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

 

Got wheelers 3 leaf kit and 5100s installed along with new SS brake lines. All done except I broke a special bolt on the parking brake system. So couple days before I get replacement from dealer. Probably do another round of brake bleeding in couple days as well.

Drive around the neighborhood felt nice enough.

 

@Darkness @FirstGenVol

 

I'm studying your picture and your MC isn't the same as mine. I don't have the part you are pointing to. My MC bolts directly to the booster.

I would just call a dealer or visit one, they will help you get the right part number if someone here can't.

 

@empty_lord maybe?
I think it might be a whole assembly. Thats the f'd up one that comes on some 05/06.
