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

I'd work for ya. Your jobs always sound interesting.

 

You did colights?

 

Never heard of those

 

Oh it's possible. You just have to roll up like a beetle and hold the plate with your knees to do the back two bolts. Then do the front 3. Then pull the back two off to get the spacers on then zip it all down.

I did forget to mention the new 1/2" socket decoration I added to my truck. Yeah, it's fucking stuck on one of those skid plate bolts like...well....I can't think of anything witty to say. But it's fucking not coming off. 13mm was a tad loose, so 1/2" it was. All the others came off and went on with ease. Except that one.

 

Stick an extension on the socket & wiggle with authority.

 

All yours homie. Shoot me a text and I'll get em sent your way.

As for the bumpstops, I've seen how expensive those are. I'll need a deeper dive into why they're worth it.

 

I always put a ratchet on and set it to loosen. Couple little taps in the opposite direction usually knocks it out without loosening the bolt.

my vote is to use a plasma cutter though.

 

I did. I beat it like it owed me money. I pryed on it with a 12" bar. I bet it makes it with me all the way to AZ. I did, however, come up with a solution while taking my stuck 24mm bolt out for the rear diff. I can just zip the bolt out and beat the shit out of it from the socket side. It was getting dark and I was far too sober to have such a good idea.

 

What shocks are those? My 6112's are the same overall length as stock, but might get into spring bind under full compression.

 

Did you click the link? Those ones are pretty cheap

 

They’re usually pretty easy, this one fought us most of the way. Me and my partner have a good groove, I was gopher most of the day though

 

my first gf gave me that advice and 75% of the time it works every time.

 

I know I said I'd make it to T2S this year, but I'mma have to pass again. I ain't leaving my boys while we're still in the SIDS window. At least till it's easier on the LOML at home.

By my choice, my life be on hold for the short term. Gots to take care of the babies

I don't know who all is attending. @Sunnier @FirstGenVol @bmf4069 @FrenchToasty. Y'all tag anybody else that needs to see this.

 

I just lay on my creeper, then put my skid plates on my chest/ belly, then roll under the truck. Usually use my knees to support it while I get the bolts started

 

Can’t wait to meet your boys in the woods,In a good way. you do you for your family!!! I’m not going, this year

 

Yes, considering the colight upgrade in the new OEM style housings. Thanks for the write up.

Do you know what @The Black Mamba's black housings are?

 

Dig those skinny 35's

 

It's not that's hard to remove and reinstall the hitch. I'll bring my impact next weekend. Let me know if you need me to bring anything else.

 

You talking about the vanity mirror lights?
My 06 has lights, 03 don't.
Both have map lights by the rear view mirror.

 

Yea, should have said sun visor lights, they're more handy than the map lights for maps & pouring coffee while driving, but maybe i just need to do the map light mod.

 

Im gonna fight you Sunday, jk

 

I pulled the plates out of mine yesterday, and dear god does it make a huge difference.

 

Nope, only he knows that answer. And by he I mean him or someome who knows him better than I

 

I nuked a bat on the way home tonight. Felt bad, guy was chasing a big ass moth, he swooped down and flew right into my passenger side head light. Heard him hit. No damage or blood luckily.

 

We have multiple bat bridges in town, it’s quite a site to see all of them emerging at once…… what’s even cooler is watching a hawk take out 2-3 of them in one sitting!!!

 

Nice

 

We hve that up in NY state near my uncle's. And jts really neat to see them all fly out at once.

 

theres one out by you, check out bracken bat cave.

 

I forgot about that one. Its litteraly down the road from my work
