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

We rake and sweep that up, then bag and take with us. Very little is left to get blown back onto the client's yard, although we finish up that way.

Today I pulled the short mowing trailer but only did one yard. Without the wife that yard took nearly 4 hours! Geeze Louise!

Anyway, bought a "flat 4" to "7 point" adaptor today. Will try it out tomorrow. Big thanks to Shifty for suggesting it.

 

I replaced the provided adhesive from the cheapos I had on my Tacoma with 3m double sided tape.

 

How much you use?

 

Is that a new sticker?

 

Do you even drive that?! How is it possible..full rust sandblast and repaint. And the leafs too?

 

Nope. Truck doesn't even have the LSD anymore. Eaton e-locker now.

And then this dude with his custom rear end. Dat ass.


I should be getting my body lift on in July hopefully.
I'm going to inquire with @the_white_shadow at that time about doing rear shocks relocation sometime after that.

 

Using the really difficult search function of this forum, the general consensus was 2 tsp.

 

It’s been my DD for 20 years. About to cross 280k miles. Frame is original. Never even did any annual treatment on it. Bought it in Cali, it’s lived in Arkansas since then.

 

I nominate you to head up a class on how to use it (search), I will be attending.

 

But will you be attentive….inquiring minds want know

 

okay I’ll play lol.

 

Depends if he can keep it engaging and how much coffee I have onboard

 

Looks like we have the makings of a “Show us your ASS 1st Gen Edition” thread

 

Mamba’s e-brake cable droop is on point. Got that lspv arm WAY up there though. Truck thinks its worn through the bumpstops & is sitting frame on axle.

 

I like the feel of rear brake bias

 

I'de bump my LSPV up, but I really don't think this barnacle is going to move at this point.



bonus lipstick on a pig pic... literally.
Magnet to pick up her metallic molting.

 

I thought you got new rear shocks.

 

@KNABORES here's my opinion.

To summarize. 5100s have way more body roll even with swaybar in, and was plush as hell with swaybar out. 6112s have much less roll. Even with swaybar out. I can say that after doing 4-5/10 off road stuff on a road trip with swaybar in, that I do think the Tundra can flex pretty well and it's not over sprung.

My rear still has 5100s (and Daystar cradles) and I really don't think the 5100s are doing a good job of damping rebound and it's the worst part about my truck. Drove my 265k 02 Silverado yesterday and the 5100s on the back of that with 130k are damping just fine... Weird.

 

are those the 650lb springs or the 700’s? AC or DC?

 

Looking at your photo above, I see the passenger rear shock mount was relocated behind the axle. Did you use the Archive Garage kit? Do you notice a better ride?

 

The ol girl did the dead battery act on me again today. Showing 12.3 volts on the handheld. Removed, cleaned up, treated and reinstalled the terminals. Fired right up. Gotta get some new terminals.

 

(This is an old picture. I need to touch it up again)

 

Watch it, Casey will be the one to send us a pic of his rear axle that will inevitably have his feet in it

 

It gets so much worse than feet. Really wish i’d have used ‘that’ pic to show off my flacid cable.

FGV probably catching weeds with that dragline.

 

They're the 650lb. 2000 AC.
I swapped 5160s of the rear first and ran a short test drive. Initial impression was it seemed a lot stiffer, but I also have Archive Garage MD springs/hammer hangers as well as E rated tires. The old shocks were noticeably easier to compress, but they're 16 years old so not sure how much of that is due to valving differences vs just age.
