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

Haven't had their beer in a while.

 

I really like their Hop Diggity. Too high of an ABV for a day beer though.

I did my steering shaft seal and followed these instructions step-by-step. https://www.tundras.com/threads/diy-steering-shaft-seal.48664/page-3

Super easy and I have a feeling it will make a big difference with noise. +1 for freezing seals.

 

Now this is what I call a roadside stop

 

You may want to either line that hose clamp with some rubber or replace it with something like this. Don't want the wires chafing on the edges.

Good idea, I may do that. I need to take one of those wires out anyways, goes to the original small camper light that lost it's switch.

 

Some split loom would help clean it up a little and solve the chafing problem too now that I think of it.

 

I might need to wash the truck... it's actually blue.

 

Damn, is that pollen?

 

Pollen, dust, and who knows what else. It hasn't rained here in over a week...and I live on a dirt road so just sitting in the drive it get filthy.

 

Fewer riots on dirt roads. Fewer mask too from the dirt roads I have driven on. Just waves and smiles. Good vibes.

 

Depends, I wear a mask when I mow.

 

Let's not jump to any hasty decisions.
Take some time to mull it over.

 

Part of the issue is I'll wash it today. Then it'll get parked until Saturday and it'll be just as bad by then just from sitting in the driveway.

 

Just bustin ya balls a bit. I wash my truck quarterly, whether it needs it or not. (and it's parked in the drive, not garage)

 

I know that feeling. I wash it on the weekend, then drive the work van all week. Truck is filthy with dust and dew spots by next weekend.

 

Then you..... need a bigger dishwasher?

 

Hmmmm......

 

Sometimes we get rain with your dust in it. Please keep that stuff to yourself. @bmf4069

 

Installed ARB compressor under the hood of my DC.

 

Yoy may be joking about that, but I actually do get rain with his dust in it.

 

I am serious. It doesn't happen super often but we do occasionally get rain that will leave TX dust/mud all over everything. Outside human disturbed soil, We don't have dust here.

 

We just got 5 days straight of rain so it should chill for a while.

 

Pics and which mount did you use/make?

 

Pics or it didn't happen. We like pics. Like, a lot.

 

This is for a Viair. I have never made anything with aluminum and rivets. I have no idea how it will hold up I tried to give it a nice tear. It mounts to the two rear airbox bolts.

Looks pretty good. You can also use stainless rivets or use rivets and epoxy. Who knows. It might be more than up to your needs.

 

That is a good idea. I bet stainless rivets would give it a good bit more strength. I have been given the remains of 4 old gentlemen's toolsets. This aluminum and rivets was part of that. I just wanted to do something with some of it. I wish I had found this kind of construction technique back in college. It's kind of fun and cheap. I don't think I would have wanted an erector set if I had had this stuff when I was a kid.

 

Deducting @Professional Hand Model's wurld peaz credítz one beetle at a time.

 

Do any of you guys use any products to make bug cleanup on the front facing bits easier after murderous events like this? I have already spent more time than I care to getting all the guts off this white bumper.

 

Got a few parts to install.. I went oem for front brakes, but oem pads and Brembo drums in the rear. Hope I don't regret.
Trail-Gear stainless brake lines, new center bearing and one control arm to replace the one that's partially mashed.
