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

Better than the southern squat right?
Yeah I’m unloaded right now, but I’m getting used to it and it looks more and more normal everyday.
Here’s from last night in some more VIP parking zones

 

Not quite blown, but the sucker knocks. Has 2 small dents but that’s about it. Very happy with how cheap I got it, shipping was only $800 to get it up here from Arizona

 

I mean ... knocking wouldn't bother me, it's probably lack of oil uptake. Before you yoink it, get some kerosene, drain half the oil, refill same amount w/kerosene, and idle it at 1.5k - 2k RPM for an hour, or two. It'll desludge and break up any big bits. My grandfather used to use kerosene in this way all the time. Well-documented as a safe practice online. I know, I know, it's the internet... but ...

 

warning: this post contains an unpopular opinion
I know I'm the minority on this, but I think if not perfectly level, then I'd rather be a bit higher in front than back.
I'm not talkin about the stupid style with the rear slammed and a 6 inch lift in the front either. Talkin bout just an inch, maybe two, like a prerunner/trophy truck setup

 

It's ok.

We all know your opinion is suspect now, given your 2nd gen ownership.

 

couldnt agree more! but the slight rake in the front isnt bad at all either. Especially when you load the rear and level out. But im with you 100 percent on your statement

 

I thought that was @bmf4069 not rusticals

 

Almost lol. He's toe'ing the line. At least his is a work truck.


On topic, but a few days late... I rotated my tires Monday.

 

You sir, are incorrect. Perhaps mistaking me for the welder from Canuckistan. He not only bought a turd, but ditched his 1st gen. There are several 1st genners that are also turd herders, but I am not one of them. "1stGen4Life"

 

Damnit. You're right.

I was thinking of @Ghostly.-


My most sincere apologies my bestgenbrethren.

 

But he's doing some frankenstein stuff, transplanting his supercharged 4.7 from his 1st gen - into a turd roller. Impressive next-level stuff gets a pass. And how could you mistake me for another? I have your gears in my rear end....

 

Lack of sleep. Insomnia gets me every so often.


Anyways, I'd get banned if we continued on with where this could go.

 

Ouch!

 

Parking lot cractivities up in this bitch.

 

I like the rims on the crackasaurus

 

I will admit, they've grown on me. These may Stay as winter rims for crackie. I don't know.

I still need to buy some fucking tires mate... lol

 

Health check on stored codes from the crackasaurus. Passes my sniff test.

 

Shout out to @FrenchToasty for the speedi bleeder


Green juice be gone

 

Looks like some ninja turtle ooze!

 

Got me some Yokohama Geolander G015 about 2 weeks ago, already got my money’s worth! Excellent on rain and quiet!

 

Hell yeah, those are my favorite toyota 6 lugs ever made. And there aren't an abundance of them either, which makes them even cooler.

 

Damn. Their MC adapters are 1/2 the cost of the other maker! Now I’m more motivated to buy one. Glad I returned the Motive pump. I’ve read others say their universal adapter was useless.

 

Got it uncovered; going to put a few miles on it this weekend (only added about 40 miles since October).
Not loving the Nerf Bars but momma's happy so all is good in the world!

 

Just to add getting a little pressure to put it on the market to help set our finances for retirement in ~5 years. Selective hearing is in play (full-force) here...

 

You're keeping it as a retirement hobby. Cheaper than poker or a boat. She'll understand.

 

I mean, you missed the boat on that one. Had you sold it a year ago you probably could've gotten 20-30% more.

If you do list, I'd drop it on Bring A Trailer.

 

Removed the grill guard. If anyone near North Idaho wants it PM me. (Sorry not enough posts yet to sell stuff, Mods remove if not cool)
