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

I'll bet they're super quiet driving on the highway at 75+ mph.

 

1 day of Driving so far:

18 Mile one way to IB (Fwy entrance to exit)
23 MPG @ 68 MPH Avarage on cruise.

City drive about 5 miles: 17 MPG With no excessive idling, only street lights.
No shifting past 2500 RPM. NORMAL Driving conditions.

Drive home from work, street and highway average 20.2 MPG.

Prior best one way to work was 20 MPG Hwy only and 16 Avarage.

 

That’s why there’s a volume on the stereo!

 

WHAT???

 

Right! Jesus gave us 75x4 amps for a reason!

 

When reskinning seats, put the foam in a plastic bag (like grocery store style). Pull the skin over the slippery bag - then if it doesn't crinkle leave it, if it crinkles, pull it out. Skins go on so much easier.

 

Can you say "Tinitus", sure you can..... You don't think about your ears, until something like this pops up! I suffer every day!!!

 

Man, those things are meaty!

 

Installed a new latch/lock on my snugtop. Had to make the hole bigger to make the new part work.

 

Kachow

 

The Wolla has a little bit of an Epstein vibe peeking through the tree branches

 

Oh boy... the forbidden word. But yes. I wanted to squeeze that little bastard in there.

What is that, a Juniper gone wild? Might be time for it to go. Doesn't seem to be adding value any more.

 

Cedar. Part of dad's "natural privacy fence" idea lol

 

My Dah used Barberries. Those thorns used to keep kids out. Now kids're dead on the inside & don't feel thorns tearing their hoodies.

Maybe you plant a new hedgerow this spring & that cedar lines a closet. You all need the parking. Actually you need a carport.
Practice your handyman skills before you buy your own place.

 

Used it as a truck.

 

A Prius could have done that!!

 

Today my buddy and I installed a 7 pin with a brake controller so I can start using my new dump trailer.

 

Added a compustar remote start to the truck today can’t post the video but it is pretty swanky

 

How long did it take you?

 

That's a good one. Here's another pretty solid one that gives better perspective on FIPG and such.

And ever helpful, you may want to check out Peter and any/all of his Toyota related videos, he really breaks things down but I felt the VC gasket vid was lacking a bit:

About 5 hours, first gens don’t have a t harness for the remote start so I watched a video on how to make one. I’m pretty good at soldering

 

Can’t wait to put these bad boys on

 

Sweet! I had those ordered before I needed longer - I bet they are great.

 

Definitely an upgrade over stock. I was scoping your build, very impressive!

 

Thanks @805Tundra, this forum is really great for info and expertise. I did find that the first answer is not always the best answer for you (me), but the best answers emerge if you give them time. And of course, some things you just have to “send it” and see, lol

 

Couldn’t agree more, been a long time lurker previously over at Tacomaworld. Learned a lot and built out my Tacoma. Recently sold it to get something bigger. Now the journey begins with the tundra!

 

Yes

 

Wow, I’m almost 30 pages behind.

Today I finished most of the prep work for my aluminum RTT bed cage. Any and all tips appreciated as I’m new to metal work.
