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

Try cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body and you’ll get an extra pop on top of what you just did Yota3.

 

I'm talking about hardcore off-road, alloys would crack and steel would just bend with you can just b3nd it back

 

Anyone know a cold air intake for a 4.7 1st gen that just bolts up.

 

Sold my bed cover so I can buy a set of 5100 to level out my truck.

 

Good choice!!

 

Last time I checked, KOH rigs run alloys, not steel. Alloys have stronger edges and if you crack an alloy wheel, you most likely have bigger issues with broken suspension parts.

Yes. Pop your hood and voila. Best part, it’s already bolted up.

 

What ever I'm talking rock crawling, where is low speed. Everyone with a brain runs steelies. Also meant somethinh that u could rout farther back in the bay and could put a cone filter on.

 

Google King of Hammers and you’ll realize just how incorrect and ignorant your statements are. It’s 2018, not 1998. But you’re entitled to your own opinion, no matter how false it is. Plus you just implied most if not all members on this site are brainless because they don’t run steelies. Not a smart way to get your many questions answered. No wonder half of your questions are ignored.

Explain to us how one can dent steelies or crack alloys at “low speed”? If you are, rethink your driving habits.

 

I'm meaning low speed as in not 90 through the desert, there are pros and cons of both. I'm talking about rock crawling, if you smash your rim into a rock you can reshape steel but alloys will crack. And steelies are much cheaper

 

I did to many cookies

 

Did my grill insert today.

 

Today, very unexciting but necessary repairs:

Step forward: repaired broken corners of used camper shell. Rivets had worn off, so I replaced them with steel bolts




The spacer is there because that bolt is too close to the vertical lip to fit the washer and lock washer in there. Hope this is ok.



The rivets at the rear of the shell seem to still be intact. Maybe should have drilled them out anyhow while I had the thing "off".

Step sideways: added another layer of weather seal to gap between shell and front of truck bed: now large gaps at corners. I think this might settle in ok though, as the seals compress today and tomorrow.

Step backward: "uncontrolled removal of shell" for said repairs. Moving a shell around really isn't a one-person job. Fortunately the only damage seems to be some scratches in what had been pretty flawless paint and pinstriping.

Step forward: figured out how to wire third brake light on camper shell.

Step sideways: now that they are connected I can see that half of the LEDs are burned out.



At least I assume that's the case, since there are only two wires - power and ground - so I assume it's all or nothing with regards to the connection.

 

I painted my stock 17" wheels black yesterday. I think they came out great.

Dude!!! I LOVE that!!! Where'd you get it?

 

Looks great!!! Where'd you get the grill??

 

Thanks, I got it on Amazon.com

This is the one I got: http://a.co/a9bbVKo

 

How's install? Simple, straightforward? I like the black because I'm debadging and installing black 3rd gen Tundra emblems on the doors and a black TRD emblem on the lower right section of the tailgate.

 

Craigslist
A guy that works at Toyota of Escondido was selling it.
80$
Just have to cut out the old grill and smooth out the cuts. Throw the new grill in.

 

Plasti dip my mirrors black also.
Just took them off the truck. They are drying I'll post pics when they are back on the truck.

 

Super easy, unbolt stock one, bolt on new one. That simple.

 

Finally confirmed that I have 3.91’s. I was hoping for 4.10’s but I guess only 04 DC’s got them. Also believe that my LSD clutch pack is shot or close too but will only know for sure once I take everything apart. An ARB will fix that issue when I regear down the road.

Then I just stared at it for a little.

 

5100's
Gonna try to get them on today. Just to level out the truck.
Will I need an alignment?
I'm only removing the sway bar end links to get the new shocks in. I'm not messing with anything else

 

It is always a good idea to get an alignment after changing the height of a vehicle.

 

I took the mirrors off the truck. Only 3 10mm nuts

Covered them with blue masking tape and sprayed away.

 

Half way done.

 

Got a freaking screw in my tire that of course went in sideways and punctured the tire twice. 2 new tires later I'm back in business.

 

So the 5100s on the highest setting gave me 3" I reused my stock springs.

 

Nice!! Can you post up a full pic of the truck?

 

I will later today. I still need to install my mirrors. And do my amp and sub in the back.
Also need to wire up my LED reverse lights under the truck. So they can't be seen ..
