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

Where did you get your catted o2 spacer?

 

i have 3 oak logs sitting over the axle all winter, has been working well
I would have backed it down over the bank his ass s hanging and then pull onto the road, unless large culvert present.

 

What crack are you referring to in the diff? To me it appears to be a seam with what we would call pando (brand name) at work. It’s a flexible gasket material.

 

More weight in the back might be a slight help. My last tundra was a 02 2wd v8 and it was hell In the winter but I made it around

 

The shell is technically a Raider, but I believe it's identical to a Leer or ARE since they're the parent brands. I added a heavy duty gasket to where it seals around the bed and it lifted it a good amount. It still is eating a bit though.

I found it on eboy. It's surprisingly solid construction. Here's the link:

This one is equivalent to the non-fouler spacer I used. You might not need the catted spacers if you can get this one and one or two non-drilled spacers as well.

The catted spacer was a last ditch effort to get rid of the CEL and it worked when I added that drilled out spacer.

 

I’m making test pipes for my cats, I think I’ll run the cats for a month to see if I get a code at all, hopefully not. Then I’ll switch to the test pipes and just deal with the CEL until next testing window.

 

I was referring to this one:

I find it suspicious only because of how uneven in width and depth it seems to be.

 

Definitely try the stacked non-foulers before investing in the catted spacer. They are much cheaper. It is pretty odd that 4 or 5 stacked spacers wouldn't fix my issue. Most people can get a fix with only ~2 spacers according to Keith from DirtyDeeds when I spoke to him privately.

 

Awesome, thanks.

 

Casting mold line?

 

Just some strange differences in the main frame piece that you start the build from, I had to modify it to work, the hole spacing was off, on the plate they sent not my frame rails. I had the patience to deal with it and fix it. the swing out adds a lot of weight

 

Upon closer inspection I agree. Appears to be some flashing.

 

Circled back and checked up on the HIR Reverse Bulb Housings to make sure the Zzzztttt! hasn’t creeped in. All looks well!

 

While in there Explored the Junction Box Thingy on the Driver Side. Pulled it apart and found some Gelatinous Mass Protection Fluid (protecting the circuit board) similar to the Hand Model Protection we used in Hollywoo Fire Scenes. Cleaned it up and snapped the cover back on. Slathered some Electric Goo around the perimeter to keep that debris from getting back in there making sure not to block the drain/weep hole at the bottom.

 

Amazing how much dirt creeps into places you’d never expect it to be.

 

Have they been tracking me this whole time? I don’t recall seeing that when I pulled mine, what does it do?

 

Unsure. Too lazy to research it. Maybe check it later tonight, but think it has something to do with ‘Tow Package’.

 

Broke 270K miles this week. Just did an oil change and replaced the battery hold down bracket.
old and new pictured. thanks @Coupe

 

If it's attached to the tail light wiring it's probably a convertor for the trailer wiring.

Newer trucks I believe it's located up in the dash.

 

What is being converted?

 

It takes the separate turn/stop signals and combines them so it'll work on a regular dual filament bulb.

 

Guess I blew the fuse for these right sided center console outlets. Anyone know which fuse?
Also now wondering if I can find the covers for these

 

Clean up/cut off the nubs and slip two of these in there. $10 each. In my pic, the cover was hanging by a thread for years. I cut it off after the pic.

 

I use one for the backup camera but that’s an idea.

 

Likely the converter box for the lights

 

Yeah. Went out and snapped a shot for curiosity sake earlier. Here is a pic of the ‘Towing Converter’ with 2 part#’s which cannot be found on any of my Deep Search Sites.

 

Maybe it’s an island only converter box. Can’t let that slip to the mainland ya know...

 

I think its the St. Barts Package Converter and forgot they added it in with all the Taxes.

 

Hard to tell from the pic, but I would have backed up way further and gas it out. I've been in funny situations like that too but manage to get out.
