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

Very nice, where'd you get your carpet from? I have no idea how to work these quotes/reply lol.

 

Company called ACC. Rock auto sells it

 

My local gas station says $0.00 right now since they are completely out. They are expecting a partial delivery of 1,500 gallons..

 

I have a whole used car lot full of gas!



lol people have been making lines here. But eh.. it’s not that bad.

 

Filled up @ $2.77/gal before it jumps $0.10-0.25/gal next week and the week thereafter.

 

I talked to a guy out east today and he seemed to think it was a weekend event and it would be over by next week?

 

It will most likely, BUT gas prices are going to steadily increase for a while.. not so much from this but other goings on in the world

 

The last I heard this summer will hang out around 3.50. It seems like it has been a long time since it was that high.

 

I have a odd feeling we’ll see the 4 dollar mark here by the end of July. Hope I’m wrong. But we’ll see it’s $2.90 right now

 

I remember last year when I paid $1.32 a gallon but I wasnt able to drive anywhere because everything was shut down

 

I installed a Spal pusher fan for my AC condenser today. It's to help keep my AC cool if I'm idling for extended periods of time on those 100+ degree days.

 

i plan on doing this with a sequoia fan whenever i manage to find time to go tothe scrap yard and get one... i'll be using the relay box the sequoia did too

 

Good morning! My searching here and throughout the interwebs for how to remove the entire dash of a 00-02 first 1st Gen Tundra have not been fruitful. Neither has review of the always detailed and eventually famous Chronological thread. But I know much of the work y’all have done has required removing the dash. I know how to do the central piece that surrounds the radio, but haven’t figured out the wide swath below.

Please post how, or link me to where it’s already posted. (Please forgive me, I’m going to double post on the Other Thread in hopes of speeding the response that moves me forward.)

Thank you in advance, Tundra Affictionados!

 

This is why I hate having other people work on my truck….don’t know why I never really noticed until now….135k miles later. My fault for that. I’m betting that timing cover is not cheap.

 

Seems like the resident yoda tech @empty_lord might know or know where to find that info.

 

Aw, man....

 

Thank you

 

Haha! I know you know how. I need to learn how.

 

Found out why my Sirius radio can’t detect my antenna….looks like I might try a little surgery today.

 

Too hard to fish a new one?

 

Might be worth skimming his build thread. Which is on TW as it pre-dates Tundras.com

 

Are you a Tacoma transplant as well?

 

I guess I am, though technically the progression went from 2000 Tacoma -> 2002 Tundra -> 2016 Tacoma so I feel like my 8 ish years with the Tundra outweigh 3 ish years with the two Tacomas. I must admit, I feel a bit bipolar on the subject.

Story in my profile if you're noticing that the math doesn't add up, I just don't want to keep boring people with it. Hoping to be a first class member again someday and in the meantime trying to learn as much as I can so I'm ready and especially so I don't make mistakes.

 

I’m adventurous. I’d like to see how it’s put together. Too much trouble and I’ll just toss it.

 

I'd for sure replace it, especially if it was previously exposed to weather, given how cheap they are. Back in the day I did a shark fin on top (this was a 2006 Corolla with the stubby soft FM antenna). These days you might be able to get a salvage fin from current Tacoma or Tundra and look legit.

 

This is going to require the pencil soldering iron at work to fix. I didn’t know it was going to be an active hybrid circuit antenna. I’ll have to come up with an alternate stress relief to replace the moulded one though.

edit: Looks like more of a passive lumped element than an active hybrid. The wire is just simple coax, not twinax.

 

JBA Ceramic Shorty Header install success. 3 days of brutal work. Rear Wheels Chirp again!

 

Congrats!!!

 

How's it run?

 

Smooth. Sounds the same with the OEM Exhaust connecting, but with a little Rumble sound thats slightly different. Its still very quiet which I like.

Stoked on a little extra torque its giving.
