1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Since we have this theme going...was there any alcohol involved?

 

If a half retarded Yankee snow monkey like me can do it for 8yrs, so can you Mamba!

 

HAHA nope! Just a classic case of dumbassism'

I've been sober for 5ish years now so I'll offer this advice to the guys that are here trying to dry up.

Your body will be looking for those calories when you are craving a drink. Have some options on hand to munch on when you are really wanting a few. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated, You will feel immensely better.

 

Hell I hope so! I'll probably get after it Friday or Saturday if you wanted to swing by.

 

I am working in drying out a bit too, usually like too after the holidays. Good luck to all.
Can anyone tell.me what bulb this light is? It's out on my passenger side.

 

@Sailor95 Your main beam bulb? That's an H4 low/high beam.

 

IIRC, it has a stupid name. Something like “parking light”. And I think it’s a 168 bulb, aka ‘T10’ size, and 194 also fits but may be dimmer, I don’t recall. So to get by you could likely swap with any number of spare dash lights you have, for example. If you recently updated interior lights to LED, maybe you have a used spare?

I was recently looking to update mine with LED bulbs, I was thinking about going amber. Sylvania* a has a lifetime warranty’d amber bulb that fits, it comes in a 2pk. Link here.

$19 SYLVANIA ZEVO 168 T10 W5W Amber LED Bulb, (Contains 2 bulbs)

My dumbass didn't comprehend he was showing us the lit bulb on the driver side. That's the DRL bulb. 168 T10 as Shifty mentioned. Me mal.

Saw a really nice 2.5 gen this morning.

 

Forgot the pic...

​

 

Gotta pay attention to those payload ratings.

 

Wow

This thread tells you every bulb.

 

Yeah, I can't even imagine what happened there. Flipped end over end and thrown into a tree vertically? Tornado got it? (but if so, why are the airbags deployed and passenger a-pillars cut?) More pics ^^

 

Airbags can deploy with a couple of different type of "accidents". Either it can be the airbag sensor was impacted causing the deployment, extreme pressure differences in the cab can flip certain airbag sensors and a roll over will deploy airbags due to a gyroscope style sensor.

The cut pillars were probably from the jaws of life, I would guess.

 

That was my guess too, on that latter bit.

And I notice both the driver and passenger curtains were deployed, which made me think the passenger seat sensor would've needed weight applied to trigger, but maybe I'm wrong because the passenger dash airbag isn't deployed.

 

The curtains will deploy on any roll over or really any sort of extreme tipping. Those have pressure sensors and the gyroscope sensors to protect from the broken glass (and to keep your head inside as best as they can).

I can see the practicality of the integrated brush guard if you constantly catch deer, but the look is sickening.

 

You took this:

and added braces.

You win!

 

A big chuck of deer or protestor could fit in & damage that grille.

 

I think yours will be fine but just a pro tip on the grilles: Those bumper guards can affect your ADAS (pre-collision warning, dynamic radar cruise control, and so forth) by blocking the sensor. The sensor is located behind your Toyota emblem on the grille and pairs with the camera in the windshield. Your grille is wide open so there should be little effect but keep that in mind for the future.

If you have lifted your Tundra this can also negatively affect the ADAS as well. If it is lifted higher then it could be improperly reading the road in front of you and completely miss any smaller vehicles which will cause an accident or the systems to not work as designed. If you do lift it, you can have any Toyota service center permanently disable the safety systems. This does brick your sonar and to re-enable the safety systems you would have to replace the sonar.

 

Thanks guys! I like that led conversion thought just for the parking lights, from reading halogens are still the way to go it see.s. This rig is new to me, got it 2 weeks ago.

 

Ah piss off, and we love you too.

I disagree LED isn't a good upgrade for the parking lights. I agree, LED isn't for everyone on the headlights and comes with a host of probs, likewise potentially problems with signal indicators. Not aware of similar for the parking lights.

Although I'll be curious if swapping out LEDs in my parking light position, while I have LED mini projectors for the headlights, will require adding a resistor. I've been thinking my halogen parking lights (specifically their added resistance) may be why I didn't need to use a resistor with LED headlights.

 

Looks like my first upcoming snowstorm this coming Sunday. I’ll have to go buy some PB Surface Shield and coat the exposed rusty areas on my frame. My snow shoveling days are on hold due to my shoulder though. I’m glad I have plow service.

 

You just gotta understand LEDs don't do well replacing blinking bulbs or dual filament bulbs, without resitors. They're fine replacing constant bulbs.
I won't pretend to understand switchback LEDs...
The trick for LED headlights I think is disabling the DTRLs.
I had LED headlights on my 03 Tacoma with DTRLs and they had to be replaced all the time. Of course the technology was still new back then.
