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

Oh I've got his address. I sent him a bag of dicks along with a new table. I'm telling ya, we need to just roll up and camp in his front yard. See how much patients Mrs dirtjumper has.

 

bring your lady, so she has someone to heckle with.

we gotta reset those front seals for palo duro? Still neighborless?

 

He gets home from a long day crawling past virgins and over broken glass just to fuck technicians and sees 4 drunk mfers around a hobo fire in his yard. And a half disassembled Ironman. The lulz.

 

My hobo fires are yuppie approved, and wont burn the grass. But i have no way to keep people from chewing on extension cords.

 

Oh dude, I got one in my van that tastes great. Snozberry flavored.

 

I say we tresspass on the goodyear test track property on bikes, and both list him as council. When we get arrested. Last one to get arrested wins.

 

Do all the Erik's have grey ones? Now that would be extra awesome.

 

Finally bolted the front and mid skid plate together, independent of the mount holes, something I’ve been meaning to do in my quest for a relatively quiet front end. Another for the win column I believe after a little test drive. #drillbitsbyfrenchtoasty

 

Phantom grey here.

 

Uncles truck looks like a step-side. Scary!

 

Theres erik the grey, erik the silver, and erik the white.

 

Realized today that I’ll have to take the impact wrench to those 12mm nuts frozen to the downstream O2 sensor studs to get them off if possible. They look like they’re frozen in rust due to the cheap steel the exhaust guys used to fix my cat back pipes and rebuild my O2 sensor bungs.

I’ll have to pull the front driveshaft just to get the ones on the left out. Very dissapointing and aggravating.

Won’t be using them (Lou’s Custom Exhaust) again unless I give them specific instruction on what I want regarding 02 bung material, studs & orientation.

 

You better start soaking then bitches right now in penetrant

 

Did you get yours off without snapping the studs or were yours fine? The threads on my studs are complete rusted and deteriorated.

 

My studs were slightly rusty. I had to use two new M8 nuts to clean the threads up, and then use those same nuts to bust up what was left of my old nuts. They were rusted down to just the inside part of the nut. I was able to get them off on the V6 with a little bit of work. Crackie was just a fucking mess. It's still not "right" but it isn't throwing codes after I put the oxygen sensor spacers on.

 

@Tundra2 I was just going to try and spin the nut off with the stud and replace both of them with Toyota hardware.

 

I don't think those studs come out. Let me dig for pictures.

 

They do actually. The first time I replaced them (O2 sensor) I spun out at least one of them (stud) and had to replace it.

 

Here's what I found on Crackie. https://www.tundras.com/threads/crackhead-resurrection.94083/page-46#post-2524111
and heres the V6. There wasn't much left of my old nuts, or heat shield thing.

The link is above, but you've already seen crackies nuts

 

Oh, I didn't know we were talking about Crackie.

 

We're talking about Bofa!

 

I have a post on TS showing off my new stud that replaced the one I spun out.

Goto post #20

 

Oh, I see now. Other than a weld or something, I don't know how to keep those studs in there.

 

Its not

 

Normally they won’t come out unless the nut is stuck on the stud and you have to wrench both out.

 

My Tacoma had both nuts rust off the rear sensor and it blew it out of the hole. My tundra had one missing on one side and the other was almost gone too.

 

It's crazy how much more rust you boys have in KY than TN.
