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

I have. But I rather not deal with the rust axles I’ve got. The stock one on the truck I rebooted a few years ago. Just figured id keep that as a spare and have clean new ones and do the bushing finally to maybe solve my vibration

the Napa axle on this truck is nothin like the factory one. So it only has one good oem axle

 

If you could get two of the reman axles Toyota sells, that would be the best option. A few members had luck recently and others are waiting.

 

I plan to try the napa axles. Or the trackmotive axles from RA.

 

They canceled my order when I tried

 

My Napa axle binds like a mofo in 4x4 with the lift. The aftermarkets aren’t dual CV axles. But a CV and Tripod design. Not as good

 

Didnt know that about the napa, thought they were the same as the trackmotive.

 

Oh those things.

Near concept. But they use shit boots. Factory ones won’t fit. Buddy got barely a year from a set before having to warranty

 

I also disagree. The Chrysler Infinity II sound system that was in my mom’s 1989 Plymouth Grand Voyager LE was AMAZING....





...when compared to our family’s crappy old 1974 Datsun 710 station wagon that had just an AM radio. My sister and i got chauffeured around in that POS car from the day we were born, all the way up to high school. Yes, for a full 14 years running, we had the worst section 8 worthy car in the entire school district. Mom logged in well over 300k miles hauling us around to track meets and cross country running races.

 

that’s why they make all kinds of different speakers. I personally wouldn’t buy another set of Infiniti speakers due to the way they sound to me. I like a warmer, richer sound myself.

 

Been running Napa's CVs for like 5 years, no issues, and you know I don't always baby the rig

 

Wonder if they have that in gold?

 

Yup. I need some warmth, some natural sound. Sorry, but JBL is king in natural reproduction with warmth. I find infinity to be cold. Maybe accurate, but cold, flat, lacking depth. There’s a natural “fuzz” with warmth, real-world sound. That gets lost with Infinity. There’s just a richness, a warmth, a depth that’s missing. I’ve tried a number of their products, both with and without added amplification. I’ve never been able to get well-rounded, warm sound out of any of their stuff.

 

Shifty’s truck be like

 

Don’t tell Pucks’ old lady, she don’t like that.

I cant wait to shave the side trim

@DA Tunbrah (last online 2019)

 

the gold emblems used to be by electrolysis. You would have a guy at the dealer “plate” your chrome emblems gold. I paid $60 to have it done to a dark green Honda Civic in 97.

You could be the first. Or maybe I should do it and order a Lexus RX350 grill emblem. I measured one already and it would fit in the OEM grill emblem spot

 

That’s what I told @stupidchicken03 to do

 

Why 9??? Why not 10???

makes no sense

 

yeah, that hurt my brain too. It was just the first image on google that fit the vibe I was going for. Upon further inspection it looks like a rendering or AI.

 

To me it looks like a single motor centered on the back that was replicated 4 times on each side in photoshop.

 

@The Black Mamba SAFE SPACE SAFE SPACE! Don't be incriminating me out here in public!

@KNABORES There's a good chance I shit my pants in 1997. I mean Im good for it every couple of years, but its very likely that in 1997 it happened more than once.

 

1997 i got my first CD & CD player. Hansen. I think for a bday gift, but maybe xmas?

soon afterward i bought my first cd (with either bday or xmas money. Weezers blue album.

 

In 97 I had this... until there was this asshole. Loved that car. Was yours a coupe KNABORES?
