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

Denso. Definitely the right ones. I thought when I was searching somewhere on this site people here were saying bad cat could cause an o2 sensor code, but maybe I read wrong. I'll keep looking into it. Possible I just need to tighten something down, but since there's snow on the ground I'm seeing what the possibilities are first.

I guess first we'll see if the light comes back on. I cleaned the MAF when I first got the truck less than a year ago, so I kind of doubt that'd cause issues, but we'll see...

 

I think I have about 3 or 3.25" of lift. I'll see where I'm sitting after my alignment. I'll make adjustments if necessary and take it back and have them double-check it. Should have me at 23.25" in front and 24.5" in the rear.

I would also suggest moving the reservoirs. I had issues with the tire rubbing the hose at full lock. That's why mine are routed above the shock tower.

 

I’ve got mine off at the shop for radiator, t stat, tie rod end boots, new dobinson coil-overs and alignment. Can’t wait to get her back. Hopefully no issues with the radiator (rock auto)

 

Which code exactly? You can also check were the headers meet the cats for a leak or loose bolts because that can also throw codes.

 

I'll check for leaks. Between getting a beater car and a new work truck, the Tundra hasn't been driving much lately. Which is the point.

 

I'd also switch the sensor to the other bank and see if you get a code there instead.

 

Do you prefer the Bilstien or Eibach? I’m looking at both and trying read up on both. Seems like you would have a good comparison.

 

Yesterday, while installing some new to me (used) black housing headlights and corners, plus CoLight LEDs, I got an idea. My tangent turned a 30 minute job into a 4 hour job lol.




I walked a block to vautozone and got a 3"x6" plastic tube and a 3" coupler.
I know my cuts are trash, but I'm a noob to metal (not the music ) and I was working with what tools I had on hand: drill, hole saw, tin sheers, old angle grinder, hammer, sharpie, and channel locks.




True cold air intake achieved. Volant makes some cool attachments for the front intlet to a wide flat scoop over the radiator on several vehicles. But of course not our trucks. I think it turned out pretty good. If I ever get a hood scoop, I think I'll plumb it to the top of the Volant box and seal the side inlet (OEM inlet location). Then it would have both front facing for a ram air effect. I thought about sealing the side as is, but I'm not sure the front inlet alone is wide enough. I also thought about using a velocity stack, but didn't see any at the store. I guess I should have walked across the street to check O'Reilly's. Oh well.
Then I went to Discount Tire for some new rubber. I did a bunch of burnout on the old rubbers OMW there.


Edit: I think next I may wrap the air box and intake tube in gold foil, then do the throttle body coolant bypass, and 05-06 intake manifold swap.

 

I adjusted my headlights today. I have done that since the addition of the camper shell and house batteries in tv back and (obviously) the winch up front

 

heres a picture of the spark plug I pulled out SK16R11. Not looking too good haha. Running much better now that I got the right plugs in.

Also got to test out the JVC 590BT head unit, Rockville under seat 10" sub with built in 800watt amp, as well as the reverse camera that I mounted in the tailgate handle like others have done. Works great, can see the trailer hitch ball. Sub sounds great and doesn't sacrifice any cab space

 

Here's some compiled info but tl;dr: prefer the eibach especially for the AC.

Thank you, I’ll keep going through these. Appreciate you gathering these threads

 

AMMO makes the best stuff. Nearly all of the detailing supplies I have (which is a lot!) is from them.

 

So organized!

 

I’m drowning in messes right now. So I may have got a little too excited seeing your cabinet.

 

Thanks guys. Not much of my stuff is like that- but having those things organized well is so helpful when I wash all of our vehicles in the summertime. I can so a full maintenance wash in 20 or 30 minutes, which is huge.

 

I’ve noticed a slight vibration for the last few months. So slight, I really haven’t even been concerned about it. While underneath this morning to check my spare tire pressure, I found that my driveshaft was missing a weight. In the interim, I’ve stuck a quarter ounce wheel weight on there to see if that makes a difference.

 

Haha, that's sweet, same here. If you haven't upgraded to the new Reflex Pro yet or his other new top coats, I highly recommend them. I started using his products about 10 years ago and have never looked back, absolute game changer.

 

Where does one find these products?

 

That’s a pretty cool fix. I need to chase my vibration down in the spring. Damn thing jumps around changing pavement type and sometimes temporarily goes away altogether. I think it might be my rear brake dragging after use but I haven’t noticed the drum getting hot. I hate these sort of problems.

His YouTube channel is awesome if you ever need some detailing knowhow.

My junk is lucky to get a pressure wash every now and then

 

Dang. Thems NYC prices too. Holy hell.

 

When I had a shiny paint car I liked the chemical guys products and price point. Much more partial to a nice patina these days

 

Lol, I get it but the final product and the longevity makes it totally worth it.

BTW, before The Chemical Guys sold out they were good, but now it's in all the box stores most of the products are watered down garbage.

 

He’s kinda like the Paul Mitchell of car care products but back when he was popular in the 80s.

Nobody buys his crap today.

 

from a few days ago when I fifinally got a chance to cycle the suspension a bit with the new wheels/tire setup. Only rubbing in reverse on the mudflaps

 

Reclamped my cap. Got 6 clamps now, and tightened the rear window fitment a bit, hopefully the rear window wont pop open anymore.

It’s filthy from the rain yesterday but got the new dobinsons coils and 5100s installed. They ride so good
