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

Use some Griot's trim restorer on your bumper plastics & other "black" trim on your truck, it'll take 100k miles off the old girl.
Headlights & grill look good.

 

Yup. I didn't realize you had to bend the tab out cause there's metal in the seal.

 

Prepare to be brow beat for not buying OEM.......

 

Can’t catch a break, but caught a rock chip following a semi on the on-ramp today on my into town. Spread pretty quick, called our glass guy, looks like he can get it done today.

 

Unlike

 

Upside is our glass guy can get one in from his supplier by lunchtime and get it squared away today.

Downside is I’m out 240 bucks and time off work

 

Assuming this is a work truck? Or do you have a personal glass guy along with a butler and chef?

 

Shit…I wish. I just call him our glass guy, does all our commercial stuff, mostly our 3.5 tons at work, but his resources our way better out here in the middle of nowhere.

 

I can hear @shifty` getting the pitchfork out from here...

 

Yup that was my experience also. My pics and explanation on the tube seals are here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...-gen-tundra-today.2558/page-1294#post-2692231

But really, this post really covers all the bases about what @jerryallday can expect: https://www.tundras.com/threads/valve-covers-fix-or-leave.105385/#post-2712883

Nope. Those look blue, so I'm assuming Fel-Pro. Dude, I'm a Fel-Pro fan. I love Fel-Pro stuff. I'll never bash someone for using their parts, I just didn't buy the Fel-Pro kit because it comes with everything you need and more, and the price wasn't much more to go OEM. It may've actually been cheaper with the discounts I scored.

 

Well, I did it. Somebody get the "THIS IS FIRST GEN" meme ready so I can be properly banished.

Body is mostly straight, lived its whole life in Arizona. Ended up snagging it for 4 grand. Thing even has some sort of brake kit on it

First things, Gotta get the front spacers and running boards off. Pretty excited to get started on the motor.

 

Man, the bulge on that hood. May as well be a Dodge Ram.

 

Small win for the day, got the windshield replaced and squared away by COB today.



Also some parts showed up, so I got that going for me. The way things are going, it’s looking like I’m gonna end up doing a refresh on a bunch of the front end suspension. February kinda sucks here, so likely gonna be doing all the work at theshop on post. Heated and with a lift, count me in

 

I'm pretty sure most of us would be interested to follow that build. It still has the heart of a 1st gen.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing. Its a unique situation so I feel like it still counts as a First gen worthy post. But if not ill follow along in another thread!

 

Finally installed my TEQ Customs headlights on my ‘01 AC. Came out sweet.

 

Diggin those, need to get a plain jane set.

 

Tundra on call; ripped down ceiling tile with a exit sign mixed in……. I just jammed it back up into place. Crazy kids! No parking on the dance floor!

 

Too funny, and caught the reference, never thought I'd see it on here.

Funny story, I went to lunch with coworkers months before pando lockdowns started. There was a Goodwill in the same strip mall. I went inside after eating and found that album on vinyl at the Goodwill inside the same strip mall as the restaurant. At $2, you know I bought it.

Is ice cube the driver of the taxi?
That’s a awesome score at goodwill!

 

Not today but...

Somebody get this guy a new front bumper

 

I'm working on it. Need more important things like tires first

Anyways, 292K today.

 

Even though it's colder than a witches teet in a brass bra, I put on some new shoes. Next is the running boards/steps coming off. I refuse to admit I'm an old man and need them. They are Lund brand if anyone (old dude) is interested, oh yeah, I'll be getting rid of the old wheels too.

 

mount 1/2 a telephone pole across the front?

 

Got my Yakima Q Towers mounted finally, gotta putchase the wind deflector next, then gonna mount some slim weather proof cases!

 

Blown motor? If that's all that's wrong with it, $4k is a score

Stink-buggin hard with the HD springs, or is it just because you're unloaded? I know that front bumper/winch can't be that much heavier

Looks like you got your wheels paint-matched to the truck? Or they're just gunmetal and match perfectly. That works really well with that particular color, IMO.

 

The wheels are color matched. the previous owner went to toyota of redding ca and bought a quart of the same paint that matched the paint code of the truck. My extra set of factory alloys are the OEM silver, so i need to repaint those soon to match the set im currently running.
Also i took off the stock center caps and that drastically improved the look of the factory alloy's.
