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

Has anyone use these alignment cam eliminator plates? Thoughts?

I'll take it!

 

It does look suspect. Shouldn't it have a color matched bumper? Flares look odd too

 

Sorry y'all I probably just set a precedent. Extremely nice set of OEM floor mats popped up on the flea market site last and I bought them. $95 shipped. I've seen a few in the wrong color come through in the $60-80 range over the last 18 months but ... I dunno, I couldn't resist.

All the way from Maine. Looks like maybe take-offs, for sure they were stacked on each other. Will know for sure when they get here, definitely some stains on rears but nothing major. Guess this means my old ones will be up for grabs soon.

EDIT: GD MF I JUST NOTICED THEY WERE SHIPPED FEDEX GD FML EAD DIAF AAAARGGGHH

 

If yours are dark grey, maybe you need to pick up my olds. But I think yours are darker, like, as dark as @Darkness would like. Maybe you can die them?

 

These look brown to me? Am I color blind?

 

That’s lighting and background color and digital image you are seeing.

 

If you want to use the right stuff (what shifty posted) the double cardon joint in the middle of the rear driveshaft calls for moly based grease instead of just the regular stuff. You can use the moly based stuff everywhere though it just costs more.

 

I did a LOL

 

Brown requires red (I think?), so I doubt this is a colorblindness thing.

Most likely just the color/hue settings on the screen you're looking at these on is wonky.

 

Just got off the phone with Nitro and won’t get the last gear set till August! So I started the refund process.

 

Iv been looking at those, just haven't pull the trigger

 

f'ing insane.

I may still need a bushing kit. WTF happened with those guys???

 

Not sure if its Nitro being bought by a different company like you guys mentioned and quality going downhill or just a materials supply issue. But I ordered an ARB awning bag for my homemade 270 awning in November of last year. Still no supply anywhere else and no ETA on when it might get shipped to me. That was 4 months ago! I saw a website saying they wont be shipping until May! This supply chain issue is very frustrating

 

Something not quite right about that one. That earlier front bumper and aftermarket wheel flares don't seem right.

My guess is that it's a rusty northern import.

 

I don’t know but she said they got a shipment end of February. Guess I wasn't one of the lucky ones. Because of that and absolutely no communication from them, I will give another company my money.

 

In other news, took the afternoon off and got right to work! I have a lot of work to do! Tire porn warning…

 

Nice!!

 

I think for a dedicated rig that has alignment adjustability built into the upper/lower arms those would be cool. If you don't have that then these would limit your ability to adjust alignment, you would have toe only. If you have SPC upper arms for example and a competent alignment tech, these might be great. That is assuming you can get the proper camber/caster out of the UCA.

The idea behind these is to be able to keep the lower mounts secured solidly and not be shifted around by off road abuse. To take full advantage of that you may also need poly bushings(or hiem joints) since our compliance bushings have a lot of play in them.

 

I love the look of those Yoko's Chris!

 

I took my tundra on a dirt road last weekend

 

They were acquired by DPI Offroad March of 2021 and since then it has gone severely down hill for those guys. I would look into Revolution Gear and Axle. They use the gear supplier as Nitro does.

 

They will look badass and perform the same from what I’ve read!

 

Appreciate the good info!

 

Also not sure if you're re-geared or not but there has been a long standing gear set and install group buy on Tacomaworld with Premier West Gears in So-cal. You might be able to apply it to a 1st Gen Tundra.

@Casper421 maybe give them a ring as well

 

Awesome share, thanks!

 

Great find, well done sir!!

 

Did some epic finger yoga today and got the bottom center header bolts out, without removing the skid or the motor mount on the driver side! Tomorrow should be easy to access the rest, going to replace the gasket finally.

 

Shout out to PHM!
