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

Replaced my rear leaf springs today with HD 4/1 packs from RockAuto. Happy with how it turned out. Got an extra inch of ride height and it holds a 16’ trailer without budging now.

LOL! Right... But if you knew what I went through to get them off and change those fluids when I first bought it you'd know that some surface paint isn't even a factor.
I actually have thought about welding a nut on them to just make it easy peasy.

 

Ordered some tires for my daughter's tree. That counts, right?

 

Running same tires on my Ferd. Worth every penny. Found a discount code on eBay for the discount tire store and saved a few bucks. My shipped total was $661.30.

 

I had those tires in 265/75r16 on my Tacomas with the FJ Trail Teams wheels.
Good tires.

 

Good to know, since my black one also needs paint some day

 

Who knew Crackie could babysit?!

 

propane to add bubbles to the lemonade?

 

Little Dude be saying - Dah, bumper already. Bottle jack & scrap lumber. This aint the 'Virus.

I can see it on his face.

 

Don’t ever sell Crackie. Little boys love trucks up until they grow out of them (never).

 

Decided to change my PCV valve. A lot of carbon, but still good after blowing through it. Only one way as expected.

 

Good man. I'd replace mine but I'm poor

 

Yeah, they’re spendy

 

In all the time I’ve worked on my vehicle and others, I’ve never seen one go bad; knock on wood.

 

You could send him your old one?

 

Sure why not? I’ve got this one and the one from 2019.

 

One thank you for the thought, 2 not needed I'm poor cause I'm about to buy a 800 dollar clutch for my GLI lol. And I cleaned mine out, and it's still working fine. I'll replace it when the P0171 comes back lol

 

Today's work

 

Those are fun. If the bed bolts come out I’d suggest to loosen them all and remove them on each side your doing one side at a time to give you plenty of clearance.

 

Looping back with my idle for posterity. Both at cold start, and after 2 miles and warming it up. Basically idle is at 1,300rpm for me, both before and after SAIP completes its 3-second run, then drops to around 700rpm after warming up a little bit.

Interesting the left-half of the gauges are pointed roughly identical before and after. I'm sure it's by design, but ...

 

Danger Will Robinson, Danger!!

 

Make sure you use and impact to tighten it because we all know how that ends. (Badly)

 

rOuGH cOunTrYs aRE qUaLiTy sUsPeNsIoNs..... About 23xxx on these, won't even come up

 

Well that's how it came apart that's how it's gonna get put back together lol

 

Reset your lca bushings to compensate for the lift.

 

How?

 

Mark cam alignment, loosen nuts, jiggle, realign with weight, tighten.

 

You ever notice our trucks don't like to shift out of second on cold starts, unless you go over 40mph or the coolant reaches 127°-130°F?
At least that's how it is for the A340.
I haven't driven my A750 enough in the last year to accurately tell you it's preferences, but I want to say they're about the same.
