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

Huh. I'm not familiar w/Forney. Learn something new every day.

 

Are you in the process of getting a new OEM bumper or a higher clearance one? I probably missed the post where you mentioned this. Cuz the way trim/liner is now makes me wanna come over and cut it off, lol!

 

i'm not in a rush about it, but on the hunt for a 2nd gen taco arb...

 

At least we know who to blame now.

 

No turning back now

 

Seals and caliper pistons aren't that difficult to change, just takes time. Toyota sells overhaul kits but I've never bought one or tried rebuilding to see if it's worth saving the money.

These are Powerstop calipers though, but the rotors and pads are EBC brand. Here's a link for the fronts: https://www.buybrakes.com/?target=search&mode=search&substring=S15KF1124

Overall I think Powerstop calipers are meh, they are just OEM that Powerstop remans. I've had to warranty one before besides this one for a stuck piston (they just sent me a brand new pair hence why I had an extra caliper laying around). When that happened, the brackets on the calipers they sent did not match for my rear disc conversion and I ended up emailing back and forth with them forever. That got me nowhere btw. In the end, I put my new calipers on the old brackets. Tip for anyone buying the SOS rear disc conversion -- you need 14BD-AT caliper brackets, not just 14BD brackets. 14BD are too thick.

If you're looking at new calipers, do the 14WA conversion if you have 17" wheels. Just a matter of picking a brand, IDK what brand the folks that are selling them pre-milled use.

Manual jig saw, I see. I like it.

 

@Mr.bee haha, you wont regret it! I like that tool you made too

 

I was going to do it yesterday, but had to water the garden, and forgot.

 

Huh... doesn't look anything like him

 

It-a-lian tune up for about 10 miles. Running like a cham-peeeen! Cross winds are RUFFF. Gah damn!!!

 

Crackies getting closer to “high mileage” status! So close. After 2 accidents in as many weeks, you’re driving 90 with one hand on the wheel (multitasking with a ciggy) while snapping picks with the other. Be safe out there man.

Needs to take it out of overdrive and let it run in the red for it to be a true 'Italian' tune up. Helps burn off all the carbon build up on the valves and in the cylinder chamber.

 

Accidents don't scare me. Fixing shit don't scare me. Hurting somebody else scares me. I can handle me and my own, and I keep a close eye on what's coming on up down yonder on the highway. I'm a special kind of stupid, but I ain't no tard. Lol

Did a lil voluntary off roading on the home roadm I'll have to get a video of it. Went through simple shit but the silver truck would have wallered out errythang.

 

That's tonight after I get some personal Italian tune ups going in bed

 

Such a short stroke needs the rpms to be effective.

 

Fortunately, I can long stroke, and high Rev.

Such a solid hits album. That song is very applicable for other reasons besides the “personal stroking”

“Make a car dance across the mud”

“Lock your daughters up”

Wompwomp but i think it was like $7k the last time i looked, so way above my pay grade anyway.

 

Got some new Rubbers.

getting my coilovers rebuilt soon… few things here and there but nothing big on the table. Haven’t put too many miles since I don’t daily it. Weather is getting good for camping time!

A few of us want to do a First Gen Trip down to the Ozarks.
Is there Anyone else somewhat local that is interested? I can add you to the list

 

I’m close and would be interested. Gotta get these front wheel bearings swapped in.

 

Heck yeah! I’ll get you on the list!

 

Sticking with the STT Pros huh? You must love that tire in the mud!

Are you still running the Icons up front? You upgraded to King 3.0's in the rear with the relocation kit, right?

 

What’s up!!

Yes sir! I’ve been very happy with this tire. But gosh dang they got expensive. A couple years ago I bought them for about $220 a piece. Now they’re $350 ffffff

yep! Still Icons up front and Fox 3.0s in the rear. I have been tempted to switch to the Fox up front to match the rear. But it’s not worth the cost to me haha. Icons have treated me very well, they’re still not leaking and it’s been almost 7 years and 45k miles.

Now that’s the kids are getting older we are looking into the AT Habitat…

So if anyone comes across a used one… send it my way!

 

I'm in. Grand lake is about 7 hours from here so I imagine the Ozarks is gonna be like T2S, about 9 hours.

 

Welp, It might be time to resurrect the old Sequoia. We just bought a new car for my wife, so the Sequoia is no longer her daily. Most likely putting it back to how I had it when I was driving it years ago. It will be our beach/ San Felipe rig. Love this thing!!!!

 

I'm interested
