1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

It's done. Well, done enough to enjoy this weekend Not bad for five days of work.

 

Schwing!

 

Required fuel to operate a first gen Tundra

 

That’ll make a turd for sure!

 

Yeah I just noticed it too. I'll hafta look at it again, I plan to swing back over. No reported accidents. Actually looks decently maintained? Attaching the Experian report PDF at the end of this, I don't see anything weird. I think I may float a $4k cash offer, see if they'll take it. I'm pretty sure it's worth it but I know we'll be tearing into the suspension STAT, and I'm gonna need to install a HU with CarPlay the 1st day we have it or I'll go nuts every time I drive it.

Wait, is it squatting?

 

Man looks like y'all are at a nice lake house.

 

What is this a Honda forum now?

 

Ridge lines unite!

 

I'll hafta CR-V later.

 

when he was alive. I own the property now and leased it.

as far as condensation/sweating. That would be perfectly normal. You don't wanna see it actually freezing.

 

Yup, looked it up online at CR-V forums. Sweating is normal. But it was sweating a LOT. I guess it's normal for '07-'11 though.

 

word. Easiest way to explain it that's cold air. The other hose would be hot air. So cold air in line + hot engine bay = sweaty line

 

You have a shop?!
Meanwhile we been working on Tundras in driveways and garages...

 

let's try reading that again lol

 

Oh I read it.
Evict that dick, so we have a club house for truck stuff!

 

Posting in case anyone has any thoughts that might help this member. Not sure how active the 1st Gen Sequoia section is.

Just responded. Maybe the power steering vent valve thingy?

 

Is this it?

 

for non-camper use, do you think you'll need added weight back there? Was it too light in the tail on the test run?

Any thoughts yet on keeping water out of those cab vents?

 

So an interesting thing I've been trying to inore. Reinstalled the Wildpeak AT3's on the Tacoma recently. They never rubbed in the past. Now at full left I get rub from LF wheel well. Guess I'm going to have to do an old man impression of a pretzel & figure out what's changed. Maybe i can find some "yut" to do the crawling, my back is saying don't turn left to full lock.

 

Its definitely oversprung when its unloaded. Rides a lot like a one ton, so it's not that terrible. When the build is done the camper will basically live on the truck full-time, only removed if necessary for maintenance.

The area between the cab and front of the camper will be getting a 12" wide "garage" box like this style. It'll hold the spare(s?), aluminum floor jack, mechanics tools etc. It'll provide similar cab vent coverage as the oem bed.



This is the reason for going to an 8' bed and the kind of goofy proportions right now. The upper toolboxes and garage box will be done in foam core fiberglass like the campers construction. I did the math's this morning and Im somewhere around 100lbs lighter than the oem bed as it sits with the new bed. Didn't expect that.

Trimmed up the fender lips this morning. Nothing like some quality time with and angle grinder to start off the day

 

I can smell it now ...

It's probably weird, but I actually enjoy the smell of freshly ground steel.

 

The black boogers are always fun later too

 

What's for lunch?

Preferably not boogers.

 

Well we were making awesome progress and hit a wall. We cannot get the flywheel off. We're doing exactly what it says in the manual but it won't budge. I even went to get a 2 jaw puller from Harbor Freight. No luck. That's the last step before splitting the case and see what's damaged. Most likely the shift fork.

Next step is to go buy the special service tool. I'm hoping I can find an aftermarket option.

 

Homemade bacon burgers with cheese, lettuce and tomato. Already ate.

 

Super tasty, it's almost ironic.

 

hot dogs & ez mac.

 

New case on the way under Apple warranty. For $49/each, I’d hope so.
