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

Reduthed to whenthe it came. The tenth of painth

​

Rained hard all night, if 4WD worked, I'd have little problems tearing up the yard. Might even tear up the old road bed, but as I'm stuck in 2WD I am Reduthed to the tenth of painth. Where it shall sith til yard dryth up

Off work tonight. Plant tour, physical, and drug screen this afternoon. Exit interview tomorrow at start of shift. Soon to be ex-employer will hold my last check until the exit interview is complete.

Fortunately, my last pay period starts today. So it will only be a partial week... still need to go.

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Honestly i have been fallowing your page for a while and your break issue. I am doing a full break job front and rears in the next few weeks i will update you on anything i find imp starting to think its your LSVP since that will engage your rear breaks first. Maybe consider the delete ? people seem to get much better breaking pressure without it and is easy to adjust when towing ?

I pulled my window switch and one from a 100 series Land Cruiser to see if I could put the LC into my DC. The LC has all 4 windows Auto Up/Down. Unfortunately, the connector is a different size, so this would not be an easy swap. I thought about replacing individual switches with Auto ones - not sure if this is possible, and I didn't want to tear into my friend's switches.

 

Awe, bummer. I scored a Sequoia switch with the wood trim for cheap last week. Just waiting for it to get here then I'll report back.

 

Cool, I look forward to hearing how it works. So you will get both front windows Auto Down, right? I wonder if I could take 2 Sequoia switch blocks and make one with all 4 auto switches?? This is just one of those little annoying things that has bugged me for years.

 

If that LC switch physically fits the 1GT bezel, see if you can find one with a pigtail and just re-pin the 1GT wires to the LC connector.
Make detailed notes just in case you have to go back....or start selling auto up/down window conversion bits.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping to get the front two to work that way. I'm not as keen on figuring something out for the back windows, I've always been a fan of rolling those only halfway down.

 

Well I got the 285/70R17s M/T01s installed today and had the 265/70R17s removed. I think the 285s look ideal here.

 

Looking good

 

Thanks!

 

Your truck is so clean. Love it.

 

Is there more to it than just the switches? That would be a sweet mod

 

Just hold the button down.

this is wrong:

 

A great idea if I could cut off the pigtail from a junkyard door, and figure out the pinouts. I could be a millionaire! I might need help from @daveeasa. It does not physically fit though - the LC has a longer opening. But the innards are secured with 3 screws and they would be a direct swap, but I'm not sure the switch buttons from the LC exactly line up with the switch holes in the Tundra.

My theory is that all the "auto" stuff is done in the switch. This makes sense if the Sequoia auto passenger works without any extra motor wiring - unless they just included the extra wiring in the Tundra.

Ain't nobody got time for that!

 

Empty said it’s a lot of work to get this to work, special motors that don’t come in our trucks

 

Yeah, I remember him saying that. Could be because the LC has auto up and auto down. Still, if Sequoia works on Tundra passenger, then we must already have the correct motor/wiring??

 

I mean, I'll report back when the one I ordered comes. Out of an '04 Sequoia Limited.

 

For the save!

 

This is my theory.

 

Possibly me? I do not recall seeing any studs etc, but I really wasnt looking. Sorry.

 

Clears everything pretty well. Plus a comparison between the 265 ATs and 285 MTs.

 

Is anyone running the Centric brake line kit?

$57 Centric (950.44014) Brake Line Kit

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003K3DNSK?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Is this everything I need, or do I have to get the bolts too? The 285 M/Ts are 60 lbs a piece vs. the 265 ATs at 47 lbs, so def could use a bit of a boost here.

 

GOODRIDGE Bolt Banjo 10Mm X 1.00S/S SN992-03-31SBK

You'll need new banjos. I believe the ones that come with the centric kit are too long.

 

Had some fun this weekend.

Was that your suspension clunking?

 

Probably the bed hitting the super bumps or that’s what I think that sound is

 

lol @shifty` We used to call it ‘bulldoggin’ back in my florida high school days (2000’s) but it leveled out after driving today. Im about 1in higher in the front (with a full tank of gas)

Got an alignment today. Truck drives great now and steering wheel is straight again.
