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

No more fucking squeak! (Well in the garage bouncing the back of the truck) test drive tomorrow will confirm. Added a. Washer to space the u clamp out from the leafs a tiny bit, and shaved the rivet (most of the noise was from the rivet)

45 minutes or so of driving.

Is there anyone who wants to see real time speed with audio, and perhaps commentary? I know just about all these roads, and could give real life experiences with stories for each location. Or not.

I could make some videos like that if enough people would like to see it. Reason I ask is that will take a lot of space, and data.

Need to look at some video editing software like mentioned in the lunchtable thread way back.

 

You should do the 4k Motion Stuff without narration. Play Wurrld Peas Yoga Meditation Music and name yourself Noe (sheik for Noah). Only film Back Roads Shtuff like Tractors and Barns and cool curved roads.

Edit out the Turkey and Deer kills and market those to a different segment. Played in 20 seconds clips to Punk Rock. Maybe have a side gig narrating at the Local Gas n’ Goe about all the goofy people. Talk about Twinky Diets and Mountain Dew and the latest Meth Bust down near Yoders Corner.

 

@Tundra2 , my bro in law just picked up a 15 horse trailer in Danville. I helped him with the drive back from Denver to outside Seattle.

He said his next purchase will be a Peterbilt 389. Just in case you stumble on one of those in your neck of the woods. Seems like Ky is good horse country, makes sense based on those videos.

Really fun to see the rest of this country. It’s so diverse. Where I am is such total desert climate.

 

Now that you've seen KFC, come back and see the pan. Both states are real purdy.

 

Don't talk to much about what happens down in the pants. Best kept secrete on the Internets. We don't know what dust is but we do know what mud is.

 

Pixar Renderman or Blender are both free for the PC. I’ve only used the latter somewhat. It’s amazing what my company will plagiarize for sound tracks in their presentations I’ve reviewed.

 

Final parts pick up ‘just in case’.

These ‘Nitrous’ Blades are a new product line.

 

So that’s what the donuts look like in their assembled state

 

Some changes to the front end incoming

 

Yes. These are for the post cat connections at Y-Pipe. The one for the Muffler (put on last year) is a different part number and is a Mint Green in Color.

 

Here is a way to make your Nuts shine. Restore and Protect in one formula. Mix some 3in1 Oil (love this shtuff) and some Silver Anti-Seize in a 3:1 Ratio and Shpread it around with a tooth brush. Looks shiny right now as I did this today, but will turn a more natural flat looking in a few weeks.

 

2002 Tundra 2wd. First differential fluid change in 3 1/2 years, oil looked good. New fill and drain plugs, new crush washers. 4 quarts Lucas 85-90. This is a non lsd truck.

 

Got them done. Diode Dynamics SSC2 Pro SAE Foglights in the OEM locations. These are really bright.

 

But... indiana fun too

 

Looks sweet!

I wanna see the frame brackets if you are ao inclined. Doing Timing Belt then starting front bumper on mine soon.

 

GUYS I HAVE NEWS

Today my rebuilt engine started!!!

I'm not out of the woods yet, it's throwing a code, but probably something simple rather than major. Man I forgot how this baby sounded. More info soon.

 

congrats!

 

Here you go

 

I wired in a dimmer switch for my cab lights. It isn't as sensitive as I had hoped, but if I want to fine tune the lights I can mess around with the remote control. Super convenient though!






Stuck the remote next to the IR receiver with sticky back velcro. I also ran a 12 AWG wire to this location directly from the battery. This wire will be used for trickle charging at home and solar charging when boondocking. I can run a wire out the back window and have the solar panels on the truck/ camper shell roof. I put inline fuses at both ends of the positive wire.

 

Very nice! Not easy to find those either.

 

After being on back order from Diode Dynamics for 8 weeks, I found a set on Amazon from a dealer. Current ETA for new stock is July 1.

 

Buddy sent me this yesterday. He has been looking in the u-pull yards for over a year. It's taken that long to find. Hopefully I can get these wired up and running soon.

 

The Old T got its new front done .

 

Nice! I needed motivation to make a front bumper. I like mine without much of a bumper, but one snow bank and or hard bush and I'm on for a bad day.

 

Is this a partial Marlboro Ad?

 

Camel. I don't even think they allow Marlboro in the yard.

 

I didn’t know Camel made anything with a Filter.

 

Can't recall how far along on this project you are but the attached pdf may or may not be of help.
