1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Not sure there's been an assumption they are the same. And it eally depends in the specific part. Advics ceramic pads and rotors may be the same or if not identical just fine. Denso may have AC compressors and radiators made in many places. Sourced several Denso radiators that actually came from different countries. But not all Denso radiators are made in China. This one for 1st gen Taco is Taiwan.

 

nilight off Amazon are currently the highest reviewed, cheapest and readily avaible aftermarket versions of our headlights available.

but you should order from Toyota. Don’t want shoddy quality now

 

nothing is broken……

 

How do you feel about A/T tires?

 

Unpopular opinion: all terrain tires are stupid | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)
@artsr2002 This is the dude that shifty was referring to about all terrain tires

 

Like when you were jimredondo49?

 

Texas Grandpa truck alert. 34k miles. Not cheap, but if you could talk it down a bit, and there's no rust, that could be a nice truck for decades...

Just leaving this here for anyone who didn't read the mega thread

 

@Sunnier
Can I buy this and be in the cool kid club for turd gens?

 

Wut?

 

Of course! That colour and a pocket protector, you can post in any subforum you want!

 

That’s it! I saw the same Tundra in my neck of the woods with the same color hard tonneau cover and a big ass wing! It was a turd gen though.

If I had only gotten a pic of the elusive ugly unicorn.

 

That IS a turd gen.

Remember folks:

00-03 1st gen
04 1st.25 gen
05-06 1st.5 gen

07-13 2nd gen/sucknd

14-21 turd gen

22+ 3rd gen/hur dur muh V6 is a V8

 

I feel attacked lol

 

Or

99-06 best gen
07-21 suckit gen
22+ turd gen

 

Anyone got a lead on some really thin rubber weather stripping or similar that I could put here to avoid future rust. This is where it rubs the fender. I think @Festerw had that suggestion. This would also help the fenders which rusted too. I'm touching those up now.

 

Doesn't have to be anything fancy. If you've got some extra seal from your cap laying around that should work too.

If you want to be fancy McMaster sells UMHW with adhesive backing.

It just has to be really thin because there isn't room for much. I don't think the double bulb from my camper shell would fit.

 

UMHW might be the ticket then, that one I linked earlier is like a half millimeter thick. Thickest adhesive sheets they've got are about 1.3mm.

 

Does it retain water?

 

Is there any room to trim sheetmetal anywhere?

 

The previous assertion that "not the same because printed arrows/writing different" was garbage. Denso clearly has a contract to make their parts diff't hence why, when you buy Denso coils, they grind off the "TOYOTA" part.

If Aisin is manufacturing the belt, you can't tell me they're not capable of the simple change of altering what white text they print on the belt to differentiate the part from what Toyota gets. Hell, Aisin may make other brands of belt also.

Go to West Marine. Look up "flex trim white" and "edge trim white" and see if those may work for you. It's not dissimilar from the door guard shit people used to use on their cars back in the 80s/90s.

 

FFS, put in an 11-hour today. Mostly physical labor. Every day this week 9-10 hours mostly physical labor. I feel awesome, but it's weird actually being tired and ready to sleep at the end of the day.

 

Like the ringer?

 

Ya'll quit running that poor kid off, ignore or mute him or whatever. OR hit him with some facts if you think he's wrong. I'll bring him into a pm if you just wanna shit on his cheerios. But he's got a tundra & a lexus & just needs a little guidance. & i'm not the type to tell a kid not to poke a skunk. Go get it little buddy.
