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

I pulled the brakes so i could seperate the balljoints on a vice. Worked so well last time.

 

I see we share the same method of organization... all over the f*ckin place. Ya, pulling the whole knuckle out is so much easier to pull/press the ball joint.

40mm is the size for my axle nuts. I ordered OEM once and they showed up the same size as the 3rd party that was on my truck; always thought it was supposed to be 35mm? Also, I never had the spider nut and haven't put one on since. Maybe I should do that.

 

Gimme time, i'll get it spread out.


If i can, i havent really started yet, and my supervisors a hardass.

 

Do you only want to be able to run those lights as fog lights or would you want them on with hi-beams too? If they're aimed high enough you may tie them in with your hi-beams using a relay harness.

 

YES. I did it

 

Looks like he's got a bone to pick with you already.

 

Judging by this face. You definitely left a 10mm somewhere it shouldn’t be

 

Or a 14mm. Those suckers always go rogue.

 

He's just mad that its past lunch time, and i dont share my beers.

 

That reminds me. I need some. I have 1, short, 6 sided left.

Edit: I can’t go tool shopping. I’m about to drop a decent penny on my suspension. Soooo spam and ramen it is for the week

 

That's gotten expensive too

 

I cant believe how expensive corned beef has gotten. I can still get cheap steaks & bacon, but the storebought stuff is crazy.

 

i've done it both ways.

the round lights are on the factory fog circuit, but my truck came with it, so i didnt have to try to source a switch. They're spread enough and bright enough to work when i need em, and i've always got a finger on the stalk to shut em down. The square lights are hardwired through a relay, and are silly bright. I really only use those for distance or to punish some one in the slow lane. Driver side is aimed at most folks driver mirror, pass side it aimed at truckers mirrors.


That switch is easy to find, too & the light is easily hidden behind a steering wheel spoke.

on the titan i had enough room to make the switch location even better.

 

just to confirm. The nilights I got; I can solder to the original fog plugs and it should work fine? (Or I’ll be making some connectors to slip over)

I just wanna make sure my nilights don’t mess with some sort of circuitry. I am by no means an electrician or electronics expert

 

yes

 

I'd say run the whites seperate, and the ambers on the factory circuit.

 

Dude, i made corned beef and cabbage for the first time last week in the slow cooker. $25 for less than 4lbs! Not sure what it normally cost but that seemed high!

 

Id probably only want them as fog lights. Not sure to be honest. Never really used them as obviously I havent had any installed, but id like to have them for offroading at night and finding campsites. Is there a way to just have them switch on with the switch independently of the hi beams?

Basically Im just curious if my dummy switch will have the proper connector already installed from the factory?

And if i got the right relay to put in the fog light position in the fuse box?

Also any tips on what I need to remove to get the dummy switch out and the real switch installed would be helpful as well!

 

So I have the denso relay that i believe plugs into a slot in the fuse box for "fog" lights. Do i also need a fuse too? As you can see i have minimal electrical knowledge!

 

My response is in your quote.

 

Me too, its magic, but i bought lights with everything included. I dont know if my relay NEEDS to be grounded by the bracket, but i made sure it is.

i have a nilight lightbar i havent installed yet, because i'm waiting for someone to explain how to make it strobe. But it has amber mode, and i miss that most, my jeep had amber mode, on a seperate switch, but i could ise it as a warning. Like as soon as i saw an oncomer, i could turn on the ambers, bit after a 5 count i'm damaging retinas.


These, and the rest of my lights, are traveller from tractor supple have an amber halo around a weak led & wanna wire em for reverse and blinkers, but havent figured out if it'll work, and really dont wanna drill my cap.



just saying, i know the difference between the red & black wires, but not much beyond that.

 

Pro tip #2 take your one way ratchet wrench off before you get stuck.

 

licking it helps

 

wait until i find a sanitizer station. I've earned my punishment.

 

Squeeze a lemon on it to disinfect.

 

I'm gonna post this in the buy/sell/trade, but figured I'd give yall a heads up.

Leafs got some life in em still.

 

If you need shipping tips, gimme a holler. Ask @w666 what shipping cost on something like that runs. I think they were 52lb each.

​

 

Appreciate it! I do quite a bit of shipping at work and can get a good rate for whoever buys em. I'm only asking to pay the freight anyway.

 

Shiner Blonde is my go-to when I can find it!
