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

You don't need the whole rear end. Pull the other axle shaft and pull the clamshell out.

 

Quality usually. The SQ (sound quality) guys like them in the car audio world. Not your typical SPL (sound pressure level) type stuff.

-.04.is toe out. That'll make steering light and somewhat touchy at fwy speeds.

Caster should be 2.5-3.0 degrees for better drivability.

 

That’s what I thought as well.
I’m strongly considering a trip to see the shop foreman at the local Toyota dealer to have this ho aligned. I’ll send him a text today.

That being said, it doesn’t do anything weird on the freeway in the rain. So it’s damn close to right.

 

Is there a message in that plate number I'm missing?

 

Nope. Just a stupid IN truck plate.

 

Hey @Tundra2, sounds like you should visit my build thread.

 

Well it’s cheaper, and I’d assume if it was damaged during shipping then they wouldn’t try and sell it to me.

 

I ran a Autozone Denso (Taiwan made) for one year after my OE seaped some coolant out but still worked fine after 13 years. Then I upgraded to a Champion full Aluminum. Rockauto Denso should work fine too.

 

The dealer is cheaper? You didn't mention that. If that's the case then absolutley. It's a Denso radiator either way right?

 

Reading up on it now. I'm like 87% sure the 5VZ is mucho different from the 2UZ as far as electrics are concerned for 4WD. I did check flea-bay for the wiring harness, amd ECU. Found plenty of T4R, and Toy Taco ECUs for 4WD, but unsure if the fitment would be right.

 

Maybe just swap in a 2uz while you're doing the 4wd?

 

Someone’s thinking this morning!!

 

It honestly sounds easier to do that than try to make it work with the V6.

 

It’s a manual T case. What you need is locking front hubs and keep your current computer and harness as no electronics would be needed then? The trans may be an issue though….

 

anything but an iron block with 2 bolt mains.

 

Don't encourage me.
I'll have Noah out in the boneyards looking for a genIII LS with 4l60 and TC (maybe an Atlas?) from a early 2000s GM product.

 

@Tundra2 should be looking for some tons and sas that bitch!

 

Dual twin-traction-beams for 4 wheel steering.

 

Finally someone sees reason.

 

Fuckin christ fellers. Maybe I owrter just leave er alone

 

Its code that says "Sprewells in the bed, its going down today"

 

Trans and I think the ADD still needs to be told to lock.

 

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to do it, but I'm not sure when I'd for sure know I have "everything" needed. I'd like to go with @KNABORES ideas. Be awesome to have locking hubs and what not, but damn!

I'm still gonna go back IF THEY ARE open Friday and pluck the trans, and T-case out. Not sure about storage...

If @empty_lord agrees to help me swap everything I can deliver them to him for storage in his barn if that'd be okay with him....

 

Dude has 35 cars and a new project every week. He might be able to start on it by 2030.

 

And much more storage space than I. Again, totally up to him

 

Just put it in his barn, he won't even notice. He will probably even do the project without realizing it isn't his truck. Then when you go back to retrieve it just bring some ammo for him as a trade.

 

I'm sure I can find an ECU and harness locally for you. Interior is hard to find, but electronics and other stuff are plentiful around here.

 

yeah, like $20 cheaper since I don't have to pay shipping. Sorry, thought I said it was cheaper but I guess I didn't and I'm assuming it's a Denso as well. I guess if I'm unhappy with it I can just return it at the parts desk when I go to buy and look at it.

Went with Gates hoses...probably will replace clamps too I think.
