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

I highly recommend either an upgraded front sway bar, adding or upgrading a rear sway bar if you already have one to significantly reduce body roll. Keep in mind if you you moderately off-road, the sway bar will hinder articulation.

 

New brakes and rotors. New rear drum too

 

He sleeps on my bed
He has a bed, he doesn't use it. I've put a treat back there but he ate it and jumped back over. The challenges of having a smart doggie.

 

Came out to a flat today. WTH nonsense is that 3 part thumbscrew together rod to lower the spare? Could not get it to set into the lowering thingy, even from under the truck. Dumbass didn't think to grab the one-piece rod from the Tacoma.
Hella.
and I've got a bad shoulder, healing slow. Using the jack damn near made me cry. Really should be on Oxy or something 8-\
Grabbed a summer tire/rim from garage, jacked up truck, removed the nuts, dam tire rusted solid to the drum/hub whatever. Now late/missed my 8:15 mtg.
Tightened it all back up, put air pump on the tire - she holds.
Notice the big ass bolt sticking out of the tire, between treads, not sidewall - winning!

Drive to tire shop, get tire patched. Call off work. Too late to be worth going in, plus a lot of other personal crap happening today.
I gave up - Murphy wins. Murphy's law say someplace that Murphy always wins?

Anyway, got a flat fixed. That damn truck just hates me. But i do love that seed of satan. oh well.

 

Added some missing bolts, clips, and plastic retaining pins to the front bumper with OEM parts.

 

past week I've done oil, filter, air filter, ATF drain and fill, diff drain and fill, spark plug change and ordered 2 coils
wife says, "you're finding a lot wrong with your truck"

 

That's why I carry a Safety Seal kit.

Air it up a little, pull the puncture, push a plug in, trim it, and head on the down the road.

 

Been talking to a coworker who left today to begin retirement at 60. I talked to him about what he’s going to do with his free time after already cutting up 3 cords of wood for his wood stove.

Found out he’s interested in taking welding classes like myself at the local high school. I might be joining him this fall. Definitely a skill I’ll need if I want to fix the holes in my frame.

 

Swapped access cab glass today. Picked up two tinted ones for $10 ea. in pristine shape. Also scored a 3rd light lens and fog light switch...

 

Who’s running the “upgraded” one piece key fob and key? And are you double or accesscab.. I’m
Having issues with the key I got

 

I have both the flip and non-flip version...both work great. DC....used the programming instructions in the FSM for a DC.

 

figured. different FCC IDs

 

Same here. I have the one piece key and works fine with the instructions. Sorry.

Installed the T100 brake booster and Master Cylinder today. The pedal feels great. The brakes will lock up by the time the old MC would be beginning to engage.

The total install took me about 2.5 hrs to do and I wasn't in any rush.

Before
After

The install was very simple too. I made a little write up about it here:
https://www.tundras.com/threads/t100-brake-booster-upgrade.86375/

 

I'm also selling my factory booster and master cylinder to anyone who needs it. I'd be happy with like $20 plus shipping lol

 

how was everything on the pedal bracket side for bolting up?

 

Everything went smooth and lined up right on the inside. I had to cut that inside shaft of the booster 1/4" and I had to pinch in that one bracket on the outside that connects to the studs. Everything else bolted up as if it was made for it.

 

The crinkly plastic stuff is known as a wire loom.

 

A few months later and my roll of SMD LED's showed up.



Removed the old orange LED's from the 4runner switch and installed the new white ones. Haven't put it in the truck yet, verified they worked with a 9v battery.

 

I need to find someone who can do this. My hands just aren’t steady enough

 

Once I swap this in, I still have the switches in my truck I can do this to if you want.

 

Oh you still have the other switch’s? I’d be willing to work out a deal

honestly I’m looking for the OEM green.. just need the Bluetooth side, I swapped the volume side

 

Come to think of it, I've got a tire patch kit in the basement. Forgot about that.

 

Shiiit... I think only like 34 of those Bluetooth side switches were ever made. If you come across a spare set, any color, I would always be in the market.

 

Truck looks awesome! How did you do the marker lights for the grill?

 

hmm? mine is the black style. super common. if your looking for the other colors, limited siennas had them. they pop up from time to time, but are rarer

 

I’ve seen the black and really dark gray but did the Sienna or Highlander have the light gray option?

 

sienna limited.

controls are worn away on this one, BUT you can see it. there was tan and light grey

 

heres the grey

 

Here’s both sides black on EBay.

Even get the “forward death ray” option.
