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

@assassin10000 , these?

 

I'll need to see all 4. Those are both rear ones.

But if both rear adjusters are all the way outwards and both fronts are inwards, I'd hazard to guess the brakes may have slipped when doing a caster measurement sweep (turning the wheels).


Another way to kind of check, is the gap between the tires and the fender towards either the rear OR the front about the same?

 

I think it's +1. So what ever the spec is plus 1. I believe.

 

It's a 2WD. I believe only fronts are adjustable.

 

I’ll post up progress pics later. In the car.

 

There are 4 adjusters. Two are "behind" the steering rack.

 

I was looking at my bulbs thinking about you this morning

I’ve been meaning to do this, I made time this afternoon, since I drive semi dawnish hours during the work week

 

What exactly is this improved upon trans mount supposed to do that’s better than stock?

 

Yep, two for each control arm. 4 total.


Skid plate may block view from the front but you can look from the rear.

 

For you probably nothing, maybe just cause problems. I have an engine shifting issue that is almost certainly a 2WD thing, and because of other stuff I’ve done. Hopefully this helps me, and doesn’t rip my trans apart. It’s experimental, lol.

 

Here are progress pics. I had to fill 1/4” x 1/4” with the welder to adapt the bushing tube, so, not gorgeous welding by any means. But if it works, it works. If it doesn’t or breaks shit, welp…

 

You guys are seriously awesome, thanks for the help on the torque specs for the rear diff drain and fill plugs! Gonna hopefully break them loose tomorrow as long as the shop didnt torque them on crazy tight.

 

Oh, so is the rear drain plug a 23 or 24mm? Do I need that unique 23mm? Im guessing 24 works but if 23 is better then I can buy that too! After all, I love spending money on my truck! haha

 

According to a few YT videos. It's a 24mm. I think that @Jack McCarthy's is juts plum wallered so it acts like a 23. If I were him, I'd probably just smack a slightly smaller sized socket on the plug, and then glue it on. Or weld it, but thats just me.

 

The hell you say?

Plumb wallered out

 

I've used my 23mm socket a bunch working on some Hyundai Genesis' as they're rear lower control arms use it. Also works well for rusty/swollen lug nuts, the kind that have chromed caps over the nut.

A 20mm I've only needed once, I think it was on an old school american car of some sort.


Sometimes it's good to get the no skip sets.

 

I heard your voice when reading this.

 

I had to use a 16mm on the RAV4 a few weeks ago to fix the sway bar links. That was odd. I really needed a 16mm box end wrench but of course I don't have that size.

I guess I’m the only guy here who’s rear diff fill plug is loose with the 24 mm socket. I tried a 15/16” one, but it’s still a little loose. The drain plug works fine with the 24 mm though.

 

I'm pretty sure I loosened my rear end diff with a 24mm too. Fill also. WS Plug on trans also a 24mm.

 

Rear pics of bolts.

 

Did you notice if the 24 mm fill plug didn’t fit tightly or not?

 

It's a bit loose but good enough to loosen or tightened.

 

Okay, so it isn’t just me. Good to know.

 

I think a 23.5mm would be perfect but that's a wierd size and custom socket. Lol.
