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

Yeah, it's definitely the same spring TRQ was using, not the lower.

It also appears to be a really piss-poor design, and a wild diversion from the OEM part that works perfectly.

I hate aftermarket parts.

 

It's a Savior Senior Battery Tray. I think they are discontinued now. I'm using a 94R AGM which is shorter than a stock 24/27F. That said, I'm building a spacer and going back to the factory style hold down (I've got one of Coop's TRD brackets) and ditching this tray.

 

Yikes, that’s one dirty throttle body.

That was satisfying to clean.

 

Did a "stuck recovery" today. Used the Tundra (technically my friend used it as he was driving) to pull a zero turn out of the mud. Had to block traffic in both directions to pull that off.

Tundra had to back over a rather steep grass embankment........I wish I had this on video but my wife didn't go and everyone was too busy either with the recovery or blocking traffic to do any recording. Tundra came through!

 

Finally took a drive at night with the updated higher output version of the mini projectors. Oh yeah you can definitely tell the difference. It’s brighter, but where the 160w version shines is at the end of the beam which is where I felt the original style projectors were weak. High beam is still nothing to write home about, but if yours fail these are worth the upgrade.

Pic is taken through 50% windshield tint as well.

 

Looks good, which ones are those, again? I’m assuming mine are gonna be burnt up soon. Average life out of the no-fan model I have seems to be about 18-36mos on average.

These went through customs so order them in advance. For whatever reason mine don’t burn out in pairs so it’s nice to have a backup. These wound up having the same style reflector so I doubt they’ll last longer.

 

The eagle on the bulb shown on the product box looks strangely like the Dorman logo….

 

I need to do this. Just got a new Hitachi MAF sensor from Rock Auto. Going to rehab the intake system and clear my p0172 and p0175 hopefully for good.
But it's mother's Day, so I'll have to wait til next weekend

 

Used the winch to help remove the 5th wheel hitch, the wireless remote is nice to have in this situation

 

That's a funny looking First Gen!


Picked up a trailer to build out as an off-road trailer for my roof top tent since I don't have the nice rack I had on my Tacoma anymore.

 

Have you seen a 1st gen with a 5th wheel?

 

There's a first for everything I guess! Not sure what you could tow with a first gen that would require a 5th wheel but it'd be a conversation starter for sure.

 

Me too, it’s been on my to do list for awhile

 

Plus $40 shipping ....ufta

 

I want to say yes

 

I got them with free shipping haha.

 

i have. Pulling a 4 horse trailer, but surprisingly, no horses.

may have been a gooseneck hitch…didnt get a look in the bed.

 

Yeah, that was the stopping point for me. I’m not paying as much for the shipping as the part, so I’m not buying.
