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

I was just messing with you, if you tag someone @Bed Tundy
You can then go back and edit your post of their username but it still tags @YOU

 

Serial killers in every bunch, @Ted Bundy!

EDIT: Obligatory JA because Bed, Just Admit It.

He might have been a car guy, changing all those tires and getting lazy lol.

Ted Bundy once said, "You learn what you need to kill and take care of the details. It's like changing a tire. The first time you're careful. By the thirtieth time, you can't remember where you left the lug wrench."

 

I was living in Poway when they lit him up. I remember, the radio on the bus was playing some local station (that wasn't 91X or anything cool, sadly) had some people talking about how they turned him into a "Bundy Burger". I dunno why that stuck with me.

My friend Clint's mom was, per his admission, killed by David Allen Lucas, in SoCal. I'll never understand serial killers.

 

Don't forget your ball joint maintenance. Get it before it gets you

 

Bought some things for upcoming convenience stuff, and some preventative stuff.

​

 

So ten clicks is too much? What's ideal? I just counted 8 clicks and mine feels spongy after installing the RAS

 

rotate the starwheel until the tire turns with the slightest sound of brake shoe drag on each side.

 

In theory, you should not have to manually adjust the star wheel. They are supposed to self-adjust when you use the parking brake. In reality, that doesn't always work.

 

There’s an updated starwheel with more or less teeth that’s supposed to address the poor self adjusting performance of these. I adjust mine at every oil change, usually a few clicks each side and the brakes feel great again.

 

They were discontinued for my 02. I had to go with one from Napa I think.

 

So it begins....

 

Yikes. Do you have kids?

 

I heard from somewhere that braking from reverse is the key. Not sure if pedal or parking

Or recently bought it like that.....

 

Engaging the parking brake lightly and doing abrupt stops in reverse will sometimes work for me. But usually just end up manually adjusting.

 

If this smell won't come out, they're gonna get refoamed and covered...... However round one on the seating cushions on the pass bench is complete.

 

Which website is that from? I really need to do the reinforcement plates. For some reason I have in my head that those are difficult to put on but thinking about it again, I feel like they shouldn't be too bad.

 

What are you using on them?

 

Just a reference of the phase 1 pass side vs the clearly untouched driver seat

I'm going to assess if difficult when they get here. I'm not currently experiencing the problem, it's purely proactive.

Read that as "dicks", and ... wow, that raised an eyebrow.

Nice! Black mold is my favorite mold. Never know what you're gonna get with junkyard/partout seats!

 

Not difficult at all. Maybe 15 minutes per side if my memory is right.

 

It's not black mold, it's just what smells like forever old coffee. I've smelt mold and black mold in cars before. Doesn't have that oder to it. And judging of what I pulled and vacuumed out this is kid and wife/ single mother grime. Take that how you will.

 

A shop vac and my heavy duty hoover meant for heavy pet traffic along with an upholstery attachment

 

hey that's on you

 

Making me spend money. Ordered

 

Your mileage may vary, you need to get the wheels off the ground and click until you can hear/feel them dragging. Mine spun pretty freely forwards but turning the wheel backwards, it drug a little

 

Round 2 done

 

Also I'm pretty sure now I'm gonna have them refoamed and covered. Smokers owned it at some point. That would be the smell I couldn't id @Mr.bee . I knew it wasn't cat piss. Old smoking residue and years of kid filth and single mom perfumes...... Sucks cause I've wasted almost 3 hours out here

 

If that doesn't get it done enough for you, I highly recommend a drill brush set. I would wet it down with my extractor, then run the drill over it multiple times, then extract it. Worked pretty good.

I'm sure you saw my before and after from last May. Works wonders.

 

Fish said the same thing. But that smokers residue and nicotine are in the foam. That's not coming out. I could wash them 8 hours a day for a month and they'd still smell. My dad's second E150 work van he bought was like this. Took us a month a family of 4 scrubbing the stripped interior just get the residues off the paint work on the inside, and my dad just bought a whole new interior. Dash and inside engine cover.
