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

Jealous of you guys getting together and working on Tundras. I always have to work on my BILs GM shit.

 

Jambo next year should be mandatory for all of us in the TXBGC

 

Accurate AF

 

We've even invited you a few times when you're in the state but you always working

 

IKR. Fucking jobs.

 

I'm going to apply just so you'll have to buy me lunch and chat in htown someday

 

Deal

 

stance is

 

Lmfao

In my mind the 90s level truck is how a truck is supposed to sit on my mind.

 

I always think of this.
Never say die styling (yes it's the B2TF Toyota)

 

The McFly build. And that's an 80s truck lol. Still an epic truck

 

Sadly, some won't get the reference I bet, we're all getting too damn old. I'd love to have one, I'd even be cool with it being 2WD.

I dunno, I'd have probably drilled the ends of the new leafs anywhere they make contact and slap some leaf shims/isolators in between them to avoid unwanted noise, creaks, squeaks, etc.

​

 

There be shims

There are indeed those plug shims in there bud. And we all said you'd say that. Can't do it how'd we'd want to, always do it to the "shifty approved" standard

 

fuck, we should of used a "shifty approved" sticker as a shim

 

Ya know I have one

 

Nah, you do it how you do it, it's your truck. I only see a shim between the 1st and 2nd leaf, just seeing how much other dudes on here bitched about not having one between every shim and the noise they can make slapping together, I'd have taken the time. But it'd be a bitch and add an hour onto everything and cost $$ to buy several 4pk from Dorman, so I realize it's not for everyone.

 

IIRC they actually had one of the shims upside down LOL

 

They did, we fixed that along with the direction the AAL was installed.

 

Make that home depot run?

 

Will those fit ma truck?

 

You'll wanna find some that'll hold all the leafs.

 

Lol yeah

 

Nice. Similar to what @FrenchToasty mentioned once, simply moving the intake location higher up the fender.

 

I've worked with some high volume water discharge things, and there IS some weird physics voodoo with the angle cut. w/o it shits spraying all over near the discharge point, with the angle cut... smooth as silk.
Searched for the "why"
Perform the calcuation for velocity. The 45 deg cut provides a larger cross sectional exit area and thus lowers the exit velocity. This translates into less noise and pipe vibration.
Reduced Splashing: A 45-degree cut can help reduce splashing at the outlet of the pipe. When water flows out of the pipe, the angled cut can direct the water away from the immediate area, reducing the likelihood of erosion or pooling around the pipe outlet.
I bet that cuts noise or getting a resonating frequency on this mod.

 

What’s funny is I’ve seen this work in low volume low velocity lazy plumbers piping, I was impressed, and I’ve used it later on. That 45 helps get them above minimum clearance above a drain for health code, and helps direct the water better than a flat cut(probably unreemed like the animals they are)

 

I'm gonna need you blood hound me a cheap, yet good, LSD so I can jam at the jambo

 

Now that you say that, I've seen a few applications/Commercial I think, under a stainless sink or cabinet that had no p-trap just dumped into a floor drain (with a depression/pan). Cut on the angle, yep.
Not a plumber by trade, but I've done a bunch of it from 10" sch80 on down. I remember a time when I didn't know what that spinny thing on the pipe cutter was for. I was a filthy animal
