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

Coming along nicely

 

I did a little something over the weekend. Not sure @shifty` will approve since the outside trim isn’t color matched but I’m trying it out for now. I will have to figure out the bottom chrome piece along with the trim of the grill.

 

Would have been nice to see this like 2 hours ago BEFORE i muscled the drums off lol. I didnt break anything tho, like when i did my 98 corolla rear brakes earlier this year.

 

@Kimosabe I like that. Where is best place to get this grill?

 

I used those holes, my harbor freight bolt snapped off in the threads right after the rust broke free thank goodness. The drums had just enough life that they didnt catch the shoes (like my corolla; bent pistons on the brake cylinders shoe retainer clips went flying, adjusters and parking brake hardware all bent) I was able to hammer and pry the rest of the way. I always presoak with pb blaster the night before and wire wheel or steel toothbrush as much as i can around the hub and in each lug hole. The drums cracked around the bolt holes so theyre getting replaced anyway with coated ones.

I love a black grill on a blue truck.

 

Picked up 11HP and 32lb/ft with the base high octane map with OV Tuner.

Edit: this was 11Hp and 32ft-lbs over my last dyno with only change being the OV tune vs previous.

 

Any other power mods?

 

Going to do a full thread on it later.

OV Tune base high octane map w/shift points, Stan's Tri-Y headers (1-5/8" primaries), custom Borla 2.5" header back exhaust single exit, Dirty Deeds 12 hole injectors, AEM dry-flow drop in air filter (only using it because I got it for free).

 

So to be clear, the tune made these gains over your last dyno with all power mods minus tune? Stock vs tuned numbers would be dope too.

Edit: I see now you edited your post

 

Yup. Numbers posted were above already modded truck. Here's the breakdown:

Stock: 248hp/278tq

Headers, exhaust, injectors: 252hp/284tq

All previous mods + OV Tune: 259hp/310tq


Those peak numbers may not seem impressive but all mods combined I gained nearly 70tq over stock at around 3,000 RPM.

I didn't realize until I left they didn't print an overlay of today vs previous run.

 

I got this one from Taco Vinyl. They had the best price and are only 2 hours from here so I went through them.

 

I think having the bumper unibrow blacked out actually pulls it all together. Only reason I like the outer paint-matched is b/c it gives it that "OEM+" look, like it came from the factory that way.

No I mean, like, are you a car person?

 

Never trust a dynojet always try and find a land and sea hub dyno. Good numbers tho

 

I'm just giving you a hard time.
I held off on getting it because I knew it would be a while before I could color-match it, but the old one looked so bad I couldn't stand it. The guy put metal snaps on it for some reason. I totally agree and would prefer the OEM look. I can't decide what to do about the bumper trim piece though. Might look for color matched wrap.

 

I need a new pcv hose. Is there anything wrong with using generic vacuum hose? The price on a hose from a dealer website is outrageous.

 

There shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure it's a stiff or reenforced wall hose

 

Doing a thing.... Finally. The other bulbs will be here in a hour or so

 

Well I know why my Drive light wasn't working..... Like how? There's nothing loose inside the dash unit

 

Maybe? I just bought 'em from Toyota. They came custom-formed, and insulated with the appropriate foam, pre-bent to avoid kinks. ~$20 ea, and that wasn't during a sale. #1 is driver side. #2 is passenger side. Current pricing for local pickup from a nearby dealer is actually 10% cheaper than these prices I got from LaGrange ...

​

 

@shifty` - can you post a pic of that vent hose #2. The part # is close to the discontinued one for my 2000 and I wonder if I can make it fit. Thanks friend.

 

$2 vacuum hose from Napa and I'm done. We will see how long it hols up. Passenger side hose was good.

 

Can some one explain to me how I ordered the T5 and T10 LED bulbs the same day and the T5 package 1 showed up Wednesday, T5 package 2 showed up today and the T10s just shipped, at 458pm, but alledgedly are supposed to be here between 530 and 10pm today....

 

They got Superman working in the shipping dept he's flying you those bulbs right now and will be ringing your doorbell momentarily

 

........... I would hope Superman would either fix or burn Amazon down. And fix and burn are interchangeable at this point

I just ordered one for myself. Is it pricey? Yeah, but the original one has managed to damn near last this long why not. At 23 bucks I'll just toss it in with the rest of the order.
