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

I feel like both are pinnacle sized trucks. Everything else now days is to fucking big. The modern ranger is the size of a 90s F150 the current and last gen tacos are damn near the same size and height as our trucks are, factory of course.... Shits just to big and bloated, and none of it looks good IMHO. Or they come with free milling samples in the oil passages/ other obvious QC defects from the mnfg..... Cough cough turd gens

 

Im with you love the size of these things. However when you bring up 94-97 f150…. Yeah I’d sell my truck for the right one. Wouldn’t even look back.

 

I'll swing by tomorrow after work to check out the work. I'll have the boy with me so I can't stay too long.

 

Maybe I should tell my uncle I want the 85 f150 back

 

I want the 4 door long bed version, dual tanks

 

So I did the battery DTS cache disconnect reset at work. Unhooked it for like an hour. Drove home with no AC as to not cheat the RPMs at the stop lights, usually when the P0171 code will pop. Had my port scanner in the whole way watching active load read out. Got home and nothing, not so much as a blip outta norm. Went I to the DTS cache and did an active scan after I pulled in and this is what I got all 4 times.


So is it fixed, is it intake temp dependant as it was 99 when I went to work, and it was in the mid 80s on the test drive and on the drive home tonight..... And if it is ambient temp dependant wtf causes that?

 

Weird things happen on the early trucks, crackie would pop an Open Fuel loop fault once the trans hit 99° or some goofy number like that.

May be in your best interest to check your grounds

Cleaned up puddle light wiring, replaced locker airline ( pinched airline when welding sliders on I think...ooops) , removed about two feet of extra power wire to my cheap Boss Sub. Mounted bass knob next to ash tray, and....ordered rear ditch lights off Amazon like a idiot. Whole darn interior is apart. O and more bank 1 and 2 voltage logging. Also logged downstream 02 voltage , timing, IAT ECT.

Hope everyone is well and ready for holiday.

 

I think the crew cabs were 250/350 only. Idk what it is, but that’s literally the dream. Old 7.3 tow rig with the 150 prerunner on the back.

 

mosquito are so big here they have tail numbers and landing lights

 

Aren’t they the state bird?

 

We have these Africanized mosquitos on the bayou. They're like killer bees, but vampires.

 

I'd probably use something like a hairband, or those ballgag tent tiedown thingies to hold the rods in place by looping like this.

Bungee ballgag tent tiedown thingy:

You would suggest a ball gag.......

 

@JakeJake PFA, zip with the four.

Had to get creative with the last 3. These things apparently start to hold their shape after 1-2 years of install, had to lay some plate glass over them on the mat to get them flat. Then try to find a place I should shoot the pics with decent light, but no glare from the glass.

That's the best I can do. Going to reinstall aprons now... I'm interested in the byproduct, I wouldn't mind getting some thicker ones cut, honestly.

 

Ball gag - has a disturbing ring to it.

 

Funny you mention that. I’m sitting here watching Movie 43 with Hugh Jackman on a date with Kate Winslet? and he’s got fake balls hanging from his chin. Definitely wants to make you gag…in disgust.

 

I'm pretty sure the '97 model was the new gen where they rounded everything out. But yeah, those early / mid 90's F150's & F250's were sweet

 

Marsellus Wallace would agree with you on that one.

 

TWSS?

 

And they changed the frame resulting in rusting issues same as early Tundras.

 

Spent the day building a 5 leaf bastard pack out of the two pairs of springs I had. Not All day, I Had to run around and get supplies for tomorrow to keep this train rolling. Still need to finish a few details and do the final assembly.


The goal is to be back on all four end of day tomorrow.

 

Who's coming to help me install my new bed accessory? Gonna need at least a 4 man crew to op this bad boy. Gunner, loader assistant loader and driver, maybe a spotter. Truck can squeeze 5

Shit looks real good homie

 

Yep that was the plan. I’ll find something around here that’ll do the job.

 

Finally got around to getting the bumper on. Thanks to the kids being on summer break it took a little longer than expected.

 

Nice. Did you make it?

 

When ya'll make these 5 or 7 leaves how do you know where they'll end up height wise? Or is that part of the fun?

 

Well rule of thumb is a 3/8th to 1/2 inch per leaf not counting your over load. I have a factory over load, 1 AAL, 2 firsts ones that sit on top the over load, 2 seconds and then the main spring to the frame and I'm damn near perfectly level with a 3" spacer lift in the front and 5100s in the rear
