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

Currently replacing the foam cup holders and found the rest of my PO's cigarette ghosts.

While in here cleaning, I noticed that I have there's a truck option that I seem to be missing. Anyone know what this connector is for?

 

I’m using some from autozone. Seems to work fine.

 

I've got the same connector there. I've seen some Tundras with the power mirror on the center console by your right knee rather than on the left side of the dashboard above your left knee so I wonder if that is possibly related.

 

The fan clutch was replaced about 7 months ago so I wouldn’t think it would be that.

 

its been a while, but i think moms sequoia had seat heater buttons there.

 

Fan clutch and bracket are two separate things, the clutch bolts to the bracket

 

I have the seat heaters and those harnesses are to the right.

 

I found out I can't use the hitch that came with the trailer. Oh it works well enough but it has such a drop the mower can't be unloaded unless unloaded uphill.

I'll have to sort that out. On the plus side the new trailer's lights started working.

 

I went and grabbed some items from a wrecked 2006 double cab today. Going back on Tuesday to grab the bed. The truck is in Boise, ID.
Let me know if there are any items you need. The truck is spotless other than the front right which totaled the thing. Driver airbag did go off.
I grabbed all the seats which are recovered in leather.

 

What color is the truck? If it's white I'd love to get the gas tank door.

If the tailgate latch is white or black, I'd love to get that too.

I'd pay for shipping and your trouble.

 

Sorry, not white, but I updated my post with some photos of the truck.

 

What he said ^^

Fan bracket has its own pulley.
Clutch mounts on that IIRC.
Fan mounts to clutch.

We went thru a spate where about half a dozen people in about as many months had the bearing on the bracket go bad. And it made the fan wobble out of true.

 

Oh well....thanks for the pics. I'm not (yet) willing to mismatch everything on the truck. LOL

How about the tailgate latch?

Any plans for those wheels?

 

Latch is available. I’ll be taking mine with my camera and swapping them. I’m not taking the wheels or tires. The brake booster and MC looked good. MC said “Aisin” on it. I’m planning to grab the spindles, calipers, driveshaft, and axles. All looked OEM and the truck was clean as hell.

 

Did some things today, some things yesterday

Yesterday got the gfc crossbars and awning on



Today cleaned out the bed, organized the tools back there, and added 2 more gfc 90 brackets. Thinking I’ll throw some dust lights and maybe a ham antenna on these



Wrapped the night up with taking The Tunda and Ravioli out to the local yotas meet

 

Y’all like FJs?
It got some love today too, new hood struts and replaced some missing nuts

 

I like FJs, but I prefer ZJs.

 

Was that the grand Cherokee with the v8?

 

Buddy of mine had one of those blow up real good

I forget if it was a head gasket or what but mannnnnn did that thing overheat

 

Leaving Lowes parking lot with another 400lbs of top soil in back. I think my leaf springs still have some life left in them. Thought I may have damaged them back when I hauled 2000lbs of top soil in early Spring. Long live my RCLB …..lol

 

If I could add one more forever car to my collection it would be either an FJ or if I come into a bunch of $ an LC500 (one w/ naturally asp V8 not the turbo 6)….

 

Had ARB air lockers installed in the front and rear. Also had a 12,000 hidden Badlands winch installed behind the front bumper. OME 2.5” leveling kit which allowed me to install the 285/70R17 TOYO RT’s on 17x9 wheels with -12 offset. It’s a beast off-road now.

 

Welcome.

 

Here are a couple pics.

 

Does it have the extended center console that goes all the way to the bottom of the dash? When I first bought my truck I was scouring online junkyards for those but finally gave up. Too expensive. My truck just has empty, carpeted space after the armrests and cup holders.

 

It does have the double cab console but I’m hanging onto that.

 

Are the plastic rear bumper covers available?

 

So for those who are interested, The electric cooling fan on the AC condenser has been a huge success. Sitting still the truck now gets colder quicker, and the AC has been much more cooler. I definitely recommend adding one if you haven't already.

 

Good to know. I didn’t look close but I didn’t remember seeing the fan off center or anything. Assuming I gotta remove the fan to see the bracket or is there an easy way to see if it’s cracked/broken?
