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

Weird, both mine take 21.5 when the gas light comes on

 

Indicator for the keyless I added. It blinks when it locked. Faux alarm look I think.

 

Thoughts on if the door card fabric glue will delaminate and fabric will sag if pressure wash it (after removing the tweater)? Seems like not worth the risk ...

 

The gas light comes on with 5 gal left in my 200 series and my wife’s RX so that sounds like it’s just a Toyota thing.

 

My gut is telling me that's a bad idea, unless you're going to remove and replace the fabric

 

Now that my friend… is a song I do know

 

I dig it. It feels toight, and the brakes are great. Tbh, I haven't really been offroad enough to know a big difference, but going down the devils staircase the first time my foot was on the floor and the truck kept sliding down. This time it was maybe half down and very controlled.

 

All we did with ours today was unhook the 2 axle and hook back up to the single axle. It's back to Crackhead Corner tomorrow to start cleaning out that house.

 

Man's got a build thread. You still have time to delete this.

 

I am to please

 

LOL I was about to say the same thing. I don't blame him though....I rarely post a pic because I don't have a camera. I hate smartphones so I don't own one.

The wife though, I need to get her to take more pics and post them up for you guys.

Tomorrow, I'll try and get her to take some pics of the "truck in the wilds of Crackheadia" when we are cleaning out that house and taking loads to the (thankfully close) landfill.

 

Fit 23.2 gallons in mine. Was still above the E line. 15.7mpg corrected on the way back from Dallas.

 

I did the demo and drywall remodel on a guys house that his son turned into a crystal den. Very unfortunate situation that I think about from time to time. That sort of thing sticks with you unless it's your everyday job and it's easy to compartmentalize it.

 

I have a rental house that has that coming up. Previous owner (a family member of mine) allowed a renter to stay for free, I guess about a year, and in that time the guy totally wrecked the place. I killed at least 15 rats with variations of the traditional trap. We have all the carpet to rip up, bottom 4 feet of drywall each wall to take out, and the kitchen to rip out (all cabinets, counter tops, sink, scrap the appliances, etc). "Oh he'll pay up, he's going to get a job, he's a good guy," were the replies I got when I warned the family member not to let a renter stay for free. Guy was a drug addict, wife left him, etc. I got him to leave by posting a note on each door "on X date everything is going into the garbage" and the guy got what he wanted 2 weeks later. Wife and I removed over a ton of stuff he did leave.
(No joke, it was over 2000 pounds we put in the big dumpster I had dropped off in the yard).

I've just been putting it off since we'll have to work on a rainy day....all nice days are taken up with us mowing all over.

This job on this house.....I think it'll go fairly quickly once we get going but it's hard to catch a day of good weather when we are not out mowing. If we can just get some trees cut back, rest of weedeating done, and the trash outside hauled off, I'll be happy.

I'll definitely try for some pics tomorrow.

 

I recently got an antique plate on my old 1958 vespa. Pretty much most all my vehicles (both 2 and 4 wheels) are all registered in oregon as special interest.

Bwahaha. Ok. Good luck at the pump though.

 

I did an Eviction in 2010. It was Ugly.

 

I would NOT do that

 

Hit it with a drill brush and an extractor. That should get it good enough.

 

Hopefully wasn't cooking. We had these tweakers that rented three diff't houses in our n'hood back 15ish years ago when it was still sketch over here. I know from one of the n'hood addicts I talked to sometimes who bought from them, they were cooking in the tubs at every single place. And I know at least one of the landlords knew about it, but didn't do a damn thing about it, and had no qualms about selling the place without doing the necessary drywall ripout. The first buyer after lasted about 1-2 years in the place. Current owner has been in it for 6-7 yearsa now, but I never see them. I dunno if anyone told them the history of the place or not, or if anyone has done anything, and I've always wondered if the one owner was in/out so quickly because they kept getting sick from whatever was still in the walls. Just thinking about the people who rented in the couple years to follow getting those fuckers outta our hood ... Ugh.

 

I copied @KNABORES on this, but I’m glad I did as I discovered corrosion in one of my cables. Fixed.

 

So far so good one mine. Have been working flawlessly, but early to say this is a solid move or not yet.

 

At the price point, I'm all for trying them out

 

As was I

 

Man I worked with a dude named Mike jones right after that came out and good on him for leaning into it because the jokes just didn’t stop.

 

Still getting some driveline vibes and rumbles that I'm not sure are from tires (new) or from U-joints that are originals and 26 years old now. They've been greased at decent frequency, but are still really old. Carrier bearing has been replaced (my first post on this forum) and needs to be inspected again I'm sure, but it was replaced with the OEM Spicer one. If I replace all the U-joints in the axle(s), I see the 2 for the front, and the two outer for the rear. I've seen a video on the double cardin U-joints and am pretty sure I can't just replace the U-joints there. IF I truly cannot, then a new driveshaft is my only option, correct?

 

Mine came yesterday
