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

I'd guess I'd need to see a set in person. Maybe I am getting over zealous. Deep end. Ker-sploosh

 

We are talking about Skid Row cat guards, right? Just checking, I could be popping off. But a an adjustable wrench won't fit in there if that's it. If it could it would be smiles.

However, I have great appreciation for adjustable wrenches and their power. I have one called the lobster.

 

He's back now

I accidentally saw a picture of wyatts girlfriend when she she was sunburnt from head to toe. She called herself a lobster. He didn't think it was as funny as I did when he scrolled too far on his camera roll....

 

Hate when that happens
There was a funny video about that called never swipe.

 

He was the one holding the phone, and the one swiping so totally his fault. I can't help it he didn't know how to make hidden folders or even albums.

He knows now! Lol

I can't imagine all my photos just lumped together and me trying to remember all that shit. Yall know how I am bout my memes. My pitchers are just the same

 

Ordered a new front replacement bumper and all associated brackets to return the FGT to its former glory (deer strike). Kit even comes with new fog lights. Son has been driving the truck for the 4x4 since it’s winter (think he’s getting sweet on it). I’ll get the old bumper pulled and the brackets and lights replaced. Parts are starting to trickle in, should have them all by Monday. Ordered from Carparts.com. Listed as powdercoated black, but says painted in some descriptions as well. We’ll see when it gets here.

 

That's a pretty good price.

 

Tax, shipping etc. it was more like $430

 

So someone with an 00-03 Tundra, please let me know if this is normal or if someone actually bent the inner latch down on my gas door to get access to my gas tank...

 

Rotated the tires today. Checked out the front tires. Wiggle test passes, but if I hand turn the wheel I can hear the pitch of the wheel noise change as it completes a revolution on the right. Noise is fairly constant and sounds normal on the left. Hoping it's just the very early stage of wheel bearing death.

 

Thanks for putting my paranoia to rest.

 

Finally installed my R&D Pulstar plugs. So far so good. Only 15 mile short trip. No misfires or anything funky. Power and butt Dyno feel the same. Tomorrow will test out any MPG gains or loses. Old plugs looked good for only 5K miles.

 

Searching around I found this (sorry if this is old news).

Kinda and @NUDRAT pointed out I got the parts description wrong on one so I’m gonna try to edit on mobile like a maniac. Not only am I missing my front-most passenger one, the driver side front-most is pretty rough. But if you need one of my dregs, gimme a shout after you see I replaced mine, you pay the ride and part is yours. You know how I roll.

 

Huh. I found some of these part numbers in your Crackie thread.

 

Looks like she is still leaking. Appreciate you posting all the info, just made an order for all the stuff to do my valve covers. Other than being a little time consuming, seems like an easy job.

 

Long week. Brain is sizzled Purdy gud

 

Slot off two hours. Take your time. Clean the old FIPG off everywhere, especially at the couple of right-angle spots, remove and clear out the half moons at the back of the head and re-seat, but know your work time with the FIPG may be limited. I dunno if anyone has a good video or write-up here, but I wouldn’t mind seeing it. Passenger side looks like it’ll be much easier than driver side, so I’m doing driver side first and coasting thru the back half of the work.

 

Watched this one earlier today:

 

Ordered a denso radiator off rock auto for it.

 

That's where I ordered mine from a month or so ago. Was in good shape when it came in. Don't forget a new rad cap and hoses and all that.

 

3/5 showed up!! Mounting one on the spare so I can test fit and start hammering and cutting!

 

All that was done when I did the timing belt job back on labor day weekend. AKA when i should have also done the radiator

Epic battle bmf!

 

This post is quite a bit late, but I guess I finally/officially completed recovering my truck with the Katskin seat covers. I had the biggest problem with the center seat/cupholder in the back so I put it off for a couple months. It was a colossal pain in the ass compared to the rest of the truck. The first time around I struggled and ended up ripping the cover in 2 places.





Luckily, @jhuey8947 was extremely helpful and got me a replacement at no cost (hopefully no cost to him). I was really nervous to try again for a while, but finally got tired of having a blank hole in the back seat.

I finally managed to get the new cover on, without any rips or tears. It wasn't the best fit compared to the rest of the truck, but at this point I'm happy with it, and will probably mess with it a bit more after it stretches out a bit. Plus it will spend 98.6% of it's time in the closed position.

 

I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew!!
