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

Finished up the "base" of the drawer setup. I still need to get the "wings" cut and installed, figure out latches/handles and clean everything but it's getting there. The Flex-Seal is a great coating but it's definitely not the perrtiest!

 

Discovered my end link has managed to start coming loose. Makes me really think the sway bar is indeed bent... hmmm

 

Actually. Looking closer. Looks like the Napa end links didn’t come with lock nuts... I’ll retighten for now and keep an eye on em.

 

Well here they are got my Gibson GP603 installed today no more tick tick froom the old cracked manifold

Damnit... I really want headers

 

So I’ve been chasing a stupid p0420 code, seemingly right after 12port injectors, I dreaded one leaking by, or that I toasted the cats some how. Well today I went to swap front air fuel sensors bank to bank, started on the driver, put on my money maker protectors and stuck my hands up in some hot pipes! When I got the ratchet onto the crows foot o2 socket, I was readjusting the ratchet for a better torque pull......but the sensor freed on that little bit if socket adjustment! Pretty sure I could have taken it out with a protected hand covering. Passenger side wasn’t much tighter. Both smelled and tasted the same. Driver side was definitely harder to put back in, with my big banana fingers. Only thing I noticed different between the two was the bottom numbers 07g23 on driver and 07g25 on pass. Not sure if that’s a serial number or not? But when I fired the truck up, it was THEEEE smoothest and quietest start up I feel like I’ve heard in a long time! So that’s kinda promising I hope! I guess I should go take her for a spin?

 

Nice! What is your rating on the beer scale of difficulty?

 

Install 4
Removal empty the fridge

 

Never had the opportunity to remove or work on the o2 sensors before, but have heard they are usually seized up. Hope this is the fix for you.

 

Impressive. I’d hire you.

EDIT: Any improvement in performance?

 

I didnt dyno anything and wont be doing that. BUT i could never do a burnout from fully stopped and going straight. I can now so i got something for sure. Also in gear with the foot off the gas she really wants to pull harder then before. Start up is butter i love it

 

Yeah I’m used to seeing exhaust bolts and stuff rusted to hell. I’m not sure if they had been removed before, but i soaked them to no end with kroil the day before, juiced it on real good! With the crow foot o2 socket, it was super easy.

something like that, I went local, overpaid by 3$, but big gurrl has been lagging w delivery, so I’ll pay the price for satisfaction now.

 

I had a p0430 code i switched my 02 sensors and they worked. I made a thread up on it.

 

Nice. Stoked for ya. Sounds like you got some gains for sure.

 

I have how Big Gurrl has become part of the forum lingo. We don't even have to explain it.

Nice job PHM.

 

Did the seafoam SS14 treatment on the ol' gal today. I totally forgot to take pics, but I had a grand time dumping smoke on the roads and getting that brake pedal to soften up.

This was the first time getting my brakes hot with the DOT 5.1 brake fluid and it felt a lot better. Still spongy, but nothing like it has been in the past.

I installed the JBA shortys on my tundra a few months back and I absolutely agree with 04 Tundra on the removal process being a refrigerator emptying experience.

 

Still waiting on my ‘stemillus’ money. Breaking a little wood on these headers, except I prefer to keep a stocked frig.

 

My stemillus went straight to my new leaf pack and those superbumps. Not sure if it was worth it yet.

 

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna go full mentality challenged, and do long tubes, “freest flowing cats” and cat back. I’ve been doing a bunch of side jobs(kinda feel bad getting paid to tell them they need new equipment) so I haven’t touched the stache under the bed in a long time, I checked the other day and was shocked. After we get taxes back and I get paid for doing the AC in our house, it won’t be a dream
I really need to call Keith

 

If I'm being honest, and I am, I still don't know where to go when people say they got em from 'Big Gurrl'...I just picture a big black chick on the street corner slingin' truck parts.
My luck my wife would peek over at my google search and wonder what the hell is wrong with me! haha

 

Your guilty, just don’t know it yet.
Haha I definitely searched for big gurrl on google, got some interesting sites.
That’s why PHM was missed greatly.
I also noticed recently, my auto correct really likes PHM.......kinda weird

 

bromance!

Soooo....it's a truck parts website? or on the black market?

 

.

Ok, I'll spell it out. Big Gurrl = Amazon. If you google definition of Amazon, it is a tribe of really large women on a mythical island (as I recall..)

EDIT: from Greek mythology, large women warriors ... and maybe not an island...


.

 

...and this is why I will never be any good at Jeopardy

What is thank you

 

Haha once you see it, it’s like ohhhhh yeah!!!

 

Also, me and big gurrll go way back....I am basically her full week lover.
Funny story:
With all the Amazon shopping I do the UPS, FEDEX and USPS drivers know my house well. I’ve been doing a bunch of outside work to the house and the other day the UPS driver came with a package and said, “Man, it sure has come a long way since last fall. You’ve done a ton of work and it’s looking great!”
I was a bit happy to have someone else see the fruits of my labor and a bit embarrassed that he stops at my house so frequently haha.

 

I’ve had one younger dude, not normal guy, almost cream himself delivering a snorkel for the 4runner, the other normal guy, has told me his wife has a top of the line 4runner that she never takes on dirt. I’m always creepin and drinking in the front side yard(grilling and pond territory) and the neighbors always get stuff, the normal guy yells, nothing for you today, I’m like, yeah I know, but hello!! Haha

 

glad I'm not the only one.

 

I apologized to my UPS guy on Monday for the Tacoma receiver hitch coming Friday or Monday. He was cool with it & offered to deliver it out back by the garage. There'll also be an adaptor for the Tundra as it has a 7pin socket, so adaptor will let me connect 4pin trailers.

 

Have some frosty beverages waiting for him, a menagerie of choices maybe.
