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

Shiiiiiit I don't know. The camper is 7'. Its gotta look good, so we will see next week.

 

What would you need? Would a paper-traced template work? If so, I've got white cardboard slabs, I've got some heavier Post-It meeting room paper easel things, I can trace to whatever is easier and shoot it your way. Or would pics suffice?

 

Swapped wheels with the Tundra & Taco. I think the Ultra Motorsports look better on the Tundra than the snowflakes. More offset, and more tred on the tires. I think i put 1k miles on the Taco over the last year, conemplating selling it but it's too hard to let go of a paid off truck.

 

I was looking for that 8fter. And then I want to extend my frame AC long box baby. That's the dream

 

Market is still apparently great for Tacos. I see DC that look like yours going for $13k-16k over here, and those are the shit ones. I'm perpetually keeping eyes out for a 25+ year old Taco (emissions exempt), but it's rare to find anything under $6k-7k, even the utter garbage ones.

 

I can do it based on a reference photo like the previous shield you posted. A common reference (like a dollar bill) works, but your 1"x1" grid is luxury.

 

Ya had me right up to that last picture.....

 

What's wrong with Lagunitas?

 

IPA, I "don't" judge, if it's your thing it's your thing. Wheels look good tho

 

I'll get it done and post up when I make it happen.

Which side of my mat is better, lighter or darker? (I also notice I was off-kilter on the darker mat image above)

 

Mmm, it's a good hoppy IPA, not one of those fruity/citrus IPAs.

 

I think the light side is a little bit sharper with the black parts. You the man!

 

Again if it's your thing it's your thing

 

It’s his thing, dually noted

 

I laughed to hard at that, in public no less

 

@shifty` maybe he's going to do the DC rear window mod haha

 

Maybe the hybrid battery safety plug got pulled. Maybe the aux battery is sitting in water. The roof leaks into the battery well. Lot of maybe's but probably one electrical component.

Best Gen taco 5vz I see. 4wd or prerunner?

 

I tried so hard to find Henry Rollins saying "Duly noted" after reading fan mail on the Rollins Show. This'll have to suffice...

 

Speaking of.
My off-brand Tundra was pulling left. Stopped in to see the mechanic Saturday & he was slow, said leave it I'll look at it later. Okay. Walked home.
I'm not home 1/2 hour & he shows up to drop off the truck. That's service! Turns out I had a bubble in the tire, another going bad tire & two change 'em or don't tires. Damn, I don't want to buy 4 tires right now.

Ended up going to the tire shop with the 1GTaco. Had them put on the wildpeaks & pull the 2018 Taco take offs off. Then I had them pull the rubber off the take-offs & mount it on the off-brand Tundra rims. Forgot the lugnuts for the rim swap on the Taco - darned if the tire shop didn't have the new guy drive me home to get the lugnuts & other truck. Had him drive one of the two trucks home after too. More good service. So unexpected, but nice to experience for a change. And for the price of 1 tire I basically got 4 "new" tires onto the O-B Tundra & (finally) got the wildpeaks back on the Taco.

off note, insurance asked for the mileage on the O-B Tundra for low mileage discount & my estimated annual mileage. Ran the numbers & my estimated mileage is 3400 miles. That number is based on past use which includes a couple months the car was out of service. That's not a lot of miles - I need to go more places or maybe I should own less vehicles. Certainly not getting full value out of my road use taxes, insurance fees...

 

'04 SR5 4WD she's treated me well for 13 years, another reason I can't let go.

 

I don't blame you. I had two prerunners and I loved those trucks. A 99 and 03. If one was 4wd, I'd probably never have traded for my tundra

 

I always wanted a FGT and it's been awesome, only had it 1 year so far. Been thinking of selling the Taco and getting a small camper but everytime I drive the Taco I feel it's a part of me I can't let go of, it's too fun to drive even though I now like the Tundra more. Both trucks are paid off so no reason to get rid of either.

 

I totally get that. I always felt the tacos were one with me and when I got the tundra, I also felt that same way. It was like a roided out taco haha

 

I feel like the Tundra is the right size for daily life. The Taco is the right size the unpaved places.

 

True

 

And vice versa. Haha

 

Weekend work: greased all the zerks and built myself some fishing rod holders. We’ve been fishing a lot more lately and I keep waiting for myself to slam a rod in the tailgate or lose an eye from a hook hanging up over the tailgate. I figured it would be best to get them organized. Kind of ended up looking like a porcupine… meh. It works.
