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

Took her out to run some errands, sitting just over 78k miles

 

That buggy makin me nervous. And it’s in the way of a nice profile shot, unless the groceries are a flex….

 

Yeah, messed up a good pic for sure...

 

I <3 FGT's

 

That's blackout done extremely well right there. Other than the lid, of course

 

I know, it's such an eye sore! I had planned on getting it wrapped, but I may just wait and get a camper shell instead. Sell this thing

 

Scuff it and roll bedliner on it. Raptor is great

 

Definitely a flex, those groceries probably cost just as much as the truck.

 

dang - what's with those shorty parking spaces?
nice truck though.

 

New timing belt kit,water pump, thermostat, and serpentine belt installed today.

 

You've just gotta feel a whole lot of relieved now that's done w/o blowing up first.

 

100% I also went with a factory parts kit thanks to @shifty` help. I splurged and bought a OEM serpentine belt at the last minute and figured why not.

 

Went out to see this today

Lot of moisture inside my Depo corner light, just bought these in May. Anyone ever dealt with the warranty on depos? Looks like it has a 1 year limited warranty that it seems like it should cover this.

 

I just can't help crackin a smile when you say anything brake-related. It's not a bad thing. It's actually kinda cute, not in a gay way. Only the OG's will understand this

FTFY.... you guys really call shopping carts 'buggy's over there?

base of Saddleback Mountain? Looks like the road out to Holy Jim's.

 

Never had to, but I’ve read elsewhere (Vortex) they’re easy to deal with.

 

Did it through RockAuto just now. Have to pay return shipping at about $7.50. Think if I encounter again ill either get a different brand or just reseal them.

 

I call em buggys.

 

Throw a bead of clear silicone on your replacements.

 

As in separate the lenses and reseal?

 

Don't think you need to separate but I could be wrong. No se.

 

I think he's suggesting to run a bead of silicone around the perimeter. But separating and resealing may do the job also.

Thing is, you unever know what the moisture source is ... is it at the bulb itself, where it mates with the housing? Is it a bad butyl glue seal between lens and back? Is it a poorly placed venthole?

Honestly, I think my current OEM housings also allow in a tad bit of moisture on the driver's side.

 

Growing up in KY, I also call a cart a "buggy".

 

Just got a line on a clean looking camper shell for my Tundra for $250. I'm assuming that's a good deal.

Any idea what a cheap paint job would cost for it?

 

Yeah, anything in the $1-300 range is a pretty good deal, depending on condition, features.

Like, if it's got any fiberglass cracks or needs repaint/repair, has water leaks, lights not working, missing windows, bad seals, blown shocks, non-functional locks, rusted parts, $250 is a bad deal.

If it's only got small issues like 'missing keys', 'missing window screens', 'lights not functioning', 'no carpet', but lacks all the above problems, $250 can be a a fair shake for a good name brand unit that fits.

If it's lacking all the above problems, good paint, lights working, carpeted inside, clean, $250 is a great price.

If it's in mint shape, has add-ons like roof rails for racks, or even has racks included, with keys, I'd say $250 is a steal.

Usually what I find is clearcoat is peeling, fiberglass is cracked (leaks), needs new window seals (leaks), it's an off-brand you can't get parts for, shocks are blown, paint doesn't match, no carpet, no keys, locks or other hardware is rusty, and way too often the seller doesn't give good info on what the cap came out of ... list is a mile long.

 

On the west coast we call em shopping carts, just never heard anyone call it a buggy. When I think of 'buggy' it's this:




or this

 

There’s a speedy buggy, then there’s Speed Buggy...

 

But that's a Manx and a saindrail.

 

Unfortunately, there's a lot of people out there who also think this is a reasonable price for a clapped-out ass shell:

​

 

Meh. It fell through anyway. It was at a salvage yard, but they've already sold the entire bed with the shell on it. Oh well.
