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

Definitely more legit to pick a first Gen paint color.

what I love most about quicksand is how nice it looks when dirty. White isn’t terrible for that either but what a brilliant idea to just paint a truck the color of dirt.

 

Yes, and that friend has owned 3 vehicles since then. A Hyundai, a 3rd Gen Taco and now a 2.5 Gen Tundra. Though he went through 2 or 3 of those when picking. Haven’t seen it yet. I kinda feel like a dick making him do that at the peak.

 

Yeah. This just happened

funny thing about is the first thought I had was “couldn’t wait til after I got my sliders on huh?” Oh well. Tis but a mere flesh wound

 

Gas station Ballard?

 

Got another couple pieces to the puzzle.

 

School bus?

But dang, that really hurts to see.

 

big oof. Self inflicted or some other distracted asshoe?

 

Can't bring myself to like that picture. That sucks. I bet the majority of that could be popped out. The yellow/white marks actually looks like paint transfer and not just scratches. That means it should buff out.

 

Oh yea, hammer it out good enough, and come up with a good story.

 

Ballard I guess is what they’re called? 7-eleven parking lot. Placed there to protect the handicapped ramp handrail. Just short enough not to see, even in mirrors. I think the majority will pop out. Just hope the creases aren’t too bad. Got the rear fender and the rear door. Dammit. On a brighter note, my locker is scheduled to arrive before end of day today.
Might make a new thread on my body repair.

 

Stretch the frame for an 8' bed.

those concrete filled yellow pipes jumped out in front, behind, and beside my mom since i can remember.

 

Bed dent should pop most of the way out with a suction cup. DILDO DENT REPAAAAAAAAIR!

I doubt you'll need more than a basic polish to get the yellow paint out, or light compound if you want to do it quicker.

Curious how bad is the cab corner, just paint transfer, or is there a crease?

I did this three times to my '03 Sierra within the first year I moved to Atlanta. Too much shit to hit, the city is a parking deck farm with hidden hazards everywhere.

Sad part is, I paid to have it repaired twice. Third time, I traded that MFer in. Turning radius sucked ass on that truck.

 

Wouldn’t ever want that long of a wheelbase. Or bed.
I had an electrician on my job once, driving a BRAND NEW F150. He had pulled up to a storefront along a red curb, and there was one about 5 feet in front of his truck, and only about 2 feet tall. He was inside working for a couple hours and had become really frustrated with whatever he was working on and had to run to homey depo for materials. He stormed out jumped in his truck slammed the door started it up and punched it. That lil muh fugn pole didn’t budge, didn’t even crack the blacktop surrounding it, but damn near totaled his truck. I was standing there and watched it but he was so angry and it happened so fast I couldn’t have stopped him. Those lil bastards are evil I tell ya.

 

Didn’t touch the cab itself. Rear door skin and bedside. Bedside got the worst of it

 

That reminds me of a campground I stayed at. Campsite had wood posts sticking out of the ground to outline the parking spot. I noticed the asphalt was stained near one of them and the wood was a little chewed up. Obvious someone punctured their oil pan or something with it.

These are what I'm talking about.

 

Picked up a mattress today at REI that was in their garage sale. Has a waterproof base and a combo of dense foam and memory foam plus rolls up nicely. 30" wide, so that will be over the right wheel well with storage understand and then the left will end up being my kitchen/desk.

Plus I suck. Broke 3/8 of the bolts on my tie down trying to get them off. Not quite sure what to do. I'd really like to have tie downs.

 

Yeah, that ain’t gonna buff out.

 

Hahahahah some real honesty

 

I’ve seen enough body repairs that my father did over the years to know.

I was lucky with my first car since he repaired it with lead instead of plastic filler. Very few if any people still know how to do that.

 

Those Hest mattresses are a DREAM. So comfortable. I think I've had my best nights sleep camping with those.

 

I forgot to look under my seats for the plugs; I'll take a look in the morning and follow up.

 

Come to think of it I think I asked you about them a while back. @KNABORES swapped out his bumper so he sent his instead. So yes feel free to do with them what you'd like.

 

Someone need under seat pics of the heated seat plug or something? I may still have mine if it helps

 

Yea I was looking for the plugs under my seat but not sure what they look like. I have the plugs for the switches under my console but am coming up empty under my seats. At least the drivers side. I still need to get under the passenger side.

 

I just didn't realize what I was doing. Now my rear shocks are fancier than the front. Or more damped than the front. They don't match and it offends me.

 

I may find myself in the same boat, going with 5100 in rear, and Elka CO in the front. We'll see.

 

It feels stiff all around compared to how squishy it was.

We may have to trade rear shocks.

 

@AleHole
Bigger white plug on the driver seat. Picture is from the front looking back to rear seat. I believe both plugs are forward of the seat belt receivers but not 100% sure. I can take a look in the AM too if you need


Passenger side is smaller with only 3 wires going to it.
