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

wait you have working AC seatbelt latches? Let me mail you a jar of coins.

 

I have 6

 

I believe you, but have you (or anyone else) ever put in 26 gallons or more?

 

Nah, the donor got scrapped and the only thing left was the drivers seat for some reason and it was left on a street corner in a bad part of Tacoma for some reason and the owner just let me have it for some reason.

I was pretty sure I was going to get jumped when I went to pick it up lol.

 

Ill mail you the whole thing COD baby

 

@Nimitz_ you can swap the buckles. See this thread https://www.tundras.com/threads/seat-belt-buckle-on-2004-tundra-double-cab.120398/

 

I’ve put 25.8 in mine. When I ran out of gas….

 

I dont think i’ve ever had to add more than 20 and on overnight trips i bring 5 gallons in case i need to go into town to get midnight gas.

 

This was last weekend. Not too bad with a cot back there.

 

How you liking it?

 

You got more pics of this? I REALLY need to do this. My spare is eating all of my bed space.

 

That's why I haven't committed to a relocation or x brace yet, unless it incorporates a spare drop down like this. I don't think the drop down affects clearance as much as people think for the type of wheeling most people should be doing in these trucks.

 

I removed the center console armrest lid (bench seat) and pressure washed it

 

Like a vintage 1911, the center console lid loses much of its value if you remove the arm grease patina.

 

That looks great. Did you use special care so pressure wash didn't disintegrate it? Have usually just used soap/water on a cloth but it never came that clean.

 

I unbolted it (6 screw on the inside) and separated the cover from the back and then went to town. There is an inner structure that the fabric is attached to. Leave that alone. No soap, no special treatment or special care. YMMV. Believe it or not, the cushioning effect came back. It feels like new again.

 

Wonder if this would work on the door card fabric.

 

Is that the 5 finger discount, 100% off kind of gas?

 

Fuel pump on its way out

 

Sure seems that way. But hasn’t acted up since. Keeping the tank above half full

 

Mine does that too sometimes. Usually on 4hr+ drives and hot weather

 

When I replaced my tank with a new one, I paused for a second when I put the plastic guard on it. I wonder if that contributes to retaining heat in the tank.
Like if it blocks the wind from washing away heat.
Actually now that I am remembering it (2022), my biggest concern was dirt/debris getting trapped in there and rusting out the $350 tank i just bought.

 

The trade off was so worth it though haha.

 

I can take more pics next time I have to change a flat but for now, hopefully these will do.


The spare holder is welded onto the tubes. It’s not the easiest thing to use but don’t need to often. It also helped push the spare higher up so it’s not sticking down below the rear bumper.

 

you the man!

 

Most I've done was 24.x

 

Tire swing out ftw

 

Not really possible these days without sophisticated electronics to trick the pump. The days of fill-up and pay after are gone down here.

 

What's the red indicator light for? Light bar?
