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

yes

 

Such meta.

Maybe I can get this as a sticker for my truck.

Speaking of doing twice... After finishing up my factory switch seat heaters... My passenger seat cushion element wasn't working. Took the seat out and of course I mis-pinned the factory harness...

Repinned and am now sitting on my passenger seat... It's still not heating up... Might be on my way to thrice here...

LOL

 

Decided to toss the old skid plate in the dumpster since the new one took its place.

 

Office Space printer demolish scene ensues…

 

Great idea, I had been thinking I should just keep an impact wrench in the truck to make the lug nuts easy, could use it for the jack too (probably not the best for the threads but I wouldn't use it that much)

 

Dare to be different.

 

I smoked one scissor jack several years back doing it Nascar style with an M18. From then on I kept it in Low gear, and lubed the screw periodically. Always good to lube the screw

 

I've been working on a template/ temporary replacement for my camper shell window. Going to reach out to a local plastics company and get some Plexi or Lexan eventually for the final product. The trim that goes on the tailgate lip isn't straight so that makes things look worse than they are.

 

Well that all looks really familiar I'm going to guess your final product will end up a little better than mine though. I'm interested to see. My glass is holding up great so far, but because there was a very slight curve to the original glass, I've got a bit of a gap where there window meets the tailgate. More on the sides of the topper than along the tailgate itself. I tried a few different weather stripping products but so far haven't found something to seal it. Luckily (I guess) we've had no snow this winter.

 

My glass had a curve to it as well. My intention was to try pegboard or something besides cardboard to try to mimic the curve when I try out with plastic, but after mounting this I'm not sure how necessary that will be. On the final product, I might glue a second piece of some sort to overlap the tailgate.

 

That's not a bad idea.

Before my first attempt with thin plexiglass failed, I still didn't notice the curve. I think it was thin enough that it was a little flexible. But the glass is very thick, and obviously really rigid. No give. I think driving in pouring rain or really sloppy winter roads, with a bunch of spray coming off the road, and I'll have some wet stuff in the back. I guess for now I'll just pack the truck accordingly. There's definitely a solution to my problem, but without fabrication skills and maybe a slightly limited imagination, I'm stuck for now.

 

I've never had the windshield replaced on my Sequoia.

 

Hook up a mechanical oil pressure gauge to see what you get. They are not too expensive. Or, get an oil pressure test kit from Harbor Freight or Amazon to make sure there's nothing wrong with the oil pump.

You should be able to get the filter from the top?

 

@MT-Tundra I immediately thought of you, but you beat me to it

 

It’s alive!

 

Giddy up!

 

Joining the Mr Bee club today. Actually, no, just finally getting around to doing my Coastal Offroad front bumper. Today is prep, making sure the bumper could be removed, etc. All good so far.


Knocked out some surprisingly light surface rust while I was in here and got some of that fresh psst psst black paint on her.

The instructions with this kit are a step above “remove bumper” and a step below ikea. We’ll see how the rest goes when I fire up old sparky and learn to weld.

 

You could've bought mine if I'd known you wanted one.

I like it, but I'd have all matching bumpers and sliders if I bought a BFF front.

 

I bought it a few months ago! Didn’t know you had one. I’ll buy yours when I fuck this one up rofl. I like the tubes better on the Coastal one.

 

I suppose. It would need a bag over it to keep it from spilling everywhere.

 

This is the piece which is supposed to stop stuff from falling back there on the DC. Don't just pay attention to the first part @artsr2002 shows. Also look at Bubba's reply #11. https://www.tundras.com/threads/missing-some-windshield-trim.114828/

 

Now give your old front bumper skin to @Tundra2! That MF'er needs it.

1980s called with a cease & desist. Mueller is knocking at the door!

Hey heck yes if no one local to me wants it I’ll happily send it up to old Kentuck so it can get all crashed up in three days haha

 

Those are great glasses if you have a really bad astigmatism and no corrective lenses.

 

Oh deer.
