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

Winning

 

Looks like it'll be perfect when fully loaded.

 

Yeah, don’t adjust anything yet. Drive it and load it.

 

If you get limits, get the Camburg/PRP straps.
They don’t stretch at all compared to say dirt king. And hit me up. If you get a measurement, I might have your size.

 

Any other advice we should all give him?

 

Yes

 

Good enough for who it’s for.

 

Shit I still need to buy one

 

Yep ya done good kid. You should drive it loaded before changing anything else. Pull up yer pants. Brush yer teeth. jajaja. That's crazy you got 2.25" at the axle and 4" at the hitch

Dude... you are a legit craftsman. I'm starting to question the career lifeguard story......

 

We will find out around the fire

 

He likes zinc more than stainless, so it would seem.

 

Well it's been a busy day. Last week I was coming back from Costco, and some knucklehead didn't secure his load properly. So I had to drive over it......
I'm in mid lane change, I come out of the back of the black car in front, smacked that damn black thing just left of center, which in turn took out my radiator and shroud, DAMN!!!
Time to order parts ... their here....
But I got it all back together in a couple of hours!!!

 

Kentucky has Deer, California has road debris.

Time for a Brute Force Bumper.

 

haha, thanks buddy. I try - some of my friends put me to shame.

 

Got a new Rock Auto discount code today - 229712460198834985

 

Anyone who can remotely metal fab puts me to shame

 

So I got one for you guys, I have been trying to get the truck to pass CA SMOG CK, what a PIA. I had a CK ENG light, turns out the MAF was SHOT..... OK new MAF, 2nd, the truck came with a K&N Racing intake. It somehow ($$$) passed SMOG 2 yrs ago at the dealers, (not Toyota), who I purchased it from. This year, SMOG guy said because of CK ENG, can't proceed with the test, also need a "Sticker" for the intake.
I ended finding a used intake system, installed that, took it to SMOG. I get told I need to drive hundreds of miles to nowhere reset the damn thing. G'rrr!
Screw that, spoke with a service advisor at local Toyota shop, he said all I needed to do is drive 40mph, for about 30 minutes or so, but do not stop. H'mmm
So I tried it, and no shit, it worked.... Codes gone, no engine light.
No problems getting SMOGGED!
Anybody else ever heard that slow short drive to reset the truck thing?????

 

Common thing. There are obd2 readiness/monitor tests that have to be set before it'll pass smog.

That way you can't just clear codes in the parking lot to 'pass'.

 

Delivered what was to be my parts truck to it's new owner. There are so many thing I like about the first gens more, but just couldn't find the time for the ground up build I planned to do. Enjoy your first gens guys. I'll be jealous. I like my 2.5 gen plenty, but a part of me will always want a first gen.

 

Tis a sad day indeed. I hope someday you find the first gen right for you.

 

Got any pics? I don't think anyone here has posted what a toasted MAF sensor looks like.

Yeah, that's one of the drive cycles. I'm not sure if it's the one that requires the 8 hour cold soak prior to getting it done or not. If you want, I can try to find the TSB that outlines the details of the drive cycles that need to be completed. I posted it years ago on TS since I was trying to find a way to do it with the truck jacked up in the rear due to the heavy traffic that existed around me.

The old time, Toyota mechanic with the blown 60s mustang fastback username "mustang" something or other told me about it.

 

Yeah, but to be fair, it does vary from manufacturer and even between some make/models of the same manufacturer. Completing a single readiness cycle on my old '99.5 GTI VR6 was an absolute joke with what you had to do. Stupid part was, if you had VAG-COM or a similar tool, within a couple of clicks you could force it to test and be done in minutes.

 

Had a real Toyota key cut for the truck today. The generic one just don’t feel or look as good lol. It’s the little things right?
$12 off scamazon and then $3.50 to get er cut at the local shop.

 

Went against the Spintech/Borla crowd.

 

Haters gonna hate.
As long as you like it, that’s what matters

 

I’ve been rocking a 50 series FM on mine dumped over the axle duals for 16 years. Love the sound.

 

I’m not hating you Borla snob. I’m on a schedule here and I could get this now.

 

This is the super 50 which might be more milder. Of course with a straight pipe coming off it it sounds like I don’t know.
