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

I think he said in a post long ago that it was a guy on FB, or instagram

 

@valiantguy.george on IG. No complaints on mine yet.

 

$83 for a door check? Were talking a flange with 2 bolts and a little arm right?

 

I mean, what was my option? Everyone said the aftermarket ones suck ass. I agree it's an outrageous price.

On that note, Toyota wanted $32 for a tiny, paper cabin filter for the RAV4. Now THAT's ridiculous. I found it on the Zon for $16.

 

Yup. Doesn’t even come with lube at that price

 

Oof.


I Need to find someone with a water jet I guess

 

I don't blame you for getting oem over aftermarket, I would do the same. There are just some parts for our trucks that shock me, it's in line with those window weather strip things on our doors. I still want to replace the rubber straps on my roof channels but they're around $100 each too.

For reference the door stop on the Element was $37 from Honda.

 

Honestly this is why I've avoided ordering it for months. The little studs on mine are stripped(not my fault for once). So I can't tighten the two little nuts that go on it and I can't install the plates that I bought from that guy to avoid the cracks. I've had to be really careful when I open my door.

 

Buy those $80 door checks boys. You're still way ahead.

 

And that doesn’t include insurance.. which on these old things is nothing

 

Well after a couple years I finally got a Tundra on Monday. It's an '05 AC 4x4 V8 in rough shape. If I can't save it I'll salvage the parts and get another one to build. Started the process of stripping it down today. Rear bumper, fender flares, gas filler parts, and liner are removed and I'm ready to pop the box off (it's scrap metal now). Couldn't find the right torx bit though. It's gotta be a T50 or T55. Anyone know?

 

Finally gave her a bath and a wax after shed antler season.

 

If I remember correctly T55. Good luck with it hopefully you can save it from the grave.

 

So this thread was posted a while back but I ended up grabbing a set of these and so far they seem pretty legit! Mine were made by Colight but same principle.

Switch pro overhead panel came in today. Switch pro won’t be happening for a while, BUT I figure I’d get this for the eventual install of a switch pro

 

Say switch pro ONE MORE TIME…….

 

SWITCH PRO

 

you just made it on my People To Egg List

 

PRO SWITCH

 

Let's see that brown gold!

 

Am I the only one who thought he was talking about a Nintendo Switch? There is no way that would fit.

 

Gave her a bath; she needs a clay bar and a good polish (been 3yrs since I've waxed her).


*The back tires are about 2" higher due to my driveway

 

You have a keen eye sir.

 

Nice pile!
I picked up my first matched elk set this year, it was just a bleached out rag horn but it still counts!

 

Removed the box. No saving it. Thanks @JhadTRD , they were T55. But there's always one stubborn bolt. Even the 1400 ft-lb high-torque impact wrench couldn't break one of them free, so out came the angle grinder and recip. Who else is a tool nut?

After that I was able to get a better look at the frame. Despite how rusty it may look to some of you in less rust prone areas, it's better than a lot of them up here. I'm cautiously optimistic about saving this one.

 

Kudos if you do.....should start a build or resurrection thread if you do !

 

Heck yeah! Any horn is a good horn haha

 

Looks like of power wire brushing in your near future.
