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

@Bed Tundy can confirm. I got the kit in the box labeled 47-310049 and sure enough, the unassembled strut body shows 24-310055 on it. So I think you got the right thing here.

'​

And here's the original box that shock came in (well, it was box-in-box, so it was inside its own box, but inside this box, y'know?). Note the label - it shows both p/n!

​

 

Ill check today when i get home

 

If anyone needs one….

 

I chickened out before I found the governor the other night. First time I been over 95... 105 was fun. Speedo goes to 110.

But this was in my 03 with stock gearing and tires.

Did you have a GPS telling you your actual speed?

 

Got some test fitting done, all seems to be in order, guess I can get the 285s mounted on these Rocktrix wheels. Note the framerail rub. I'm definitely rubbing harder on the passenger side than the driver's.

Cap on these wheels is just shy of 77mm, basically 3", which is interestingly the same size Enkei wheels uses. Curious if anyone makes a Toyota wheel cap in that size? Not interested in rocking the Rocktrix caps, even if it's only temporary.

Wish the smoked machined finish on these was a little darker, it'd look awesome on the Limited trim trucks. Not that I want it to be permanent. but the smoked color they painted the bead with would look superb, very OEM+

​

 

For whatever reason, when I had 265 75 16s on my truck, only the passenger side rubbed.

 

Yea even on my 255s i get a little rubbing on the passenger side frame as well

 

I've never rubbed the frame on 255s. Only the pinch weld and liners.

 

All the cool kids go capless wheels.

 

I don't typically hang with the cool kid crowd. That's the main reason I signed up for Tundras.com, "birds of a feather" and all.

 

Your truck doesn't look like it has an inch to spare with that front garage wall there.

 

Notice all the cool capless kids are Texans... big surprise

Those Patrick's actually look far better capless. Still not my cut of tea. But to each his own.

 

Should have had me pick them up for you

 

Simple little upgrade this morning. 20 inch led strip for engine bay. I fished it through the hood. A trigger wire activates the led strip. I had to extend the wire by a foot.

Thank god, I spent 4+ hours on Bilstein's site and international catalogs trying to find this part. They do an awful job providing their data and all the part numbers are unsearchable. Also last night before bed I saw the newest 6112 post and am happy to have this nonsense put to rest about the height and c-clip settings. I am also set on #6/#4 and will provide my post 6112 lift numbers. (I'm already lifted so no pre-lift, but it should confirm the standard hub/fender distance for 6112's)

 

Started the front end rebuild

 

Got the third brake light wired and installed on the camper. I tried to keep the wires as clean as possible but I’m gonna have to think of a better solution for the inside so they’re not sticking out of the bed side hole. I have them taped up to follow the window railing so they’re not hanging there but I don’t like them sticking out of the side when I open the camper

 

@shifty` I did a thing that we talked about a while ago, even went with the ILXW470

 

Disregard Serra of Decatur for parts sales. User's have had bad experience.
Recommend Serra Of Birmingham.

Don't use Serra of Decatur. Eric F works there and he doesn't own up to any mistakes he or his staff make. Use Serra of Birmingham instead. https://autoparts.serratoyota.com/

Birmingham is having the same deals. No tax. Free ship over $75. 25% off.

 

Thanks I didn’t realize it wasnt Birmingham. I had great experience with Birmingham.

 

It's the original reason I didn't get a DC. It wouldn't fit. I set the parking block down to keep the front about an inch off the garage wall. That leaves me about 4" room between the bumper and garage door. If I had gotten a DC, if I could've fit it, I'd have had an inch of wiggle room total, if any.

I mean ... I'm kinda disappointed, I use UPS Ground for everything, and I managed to send out several laptops in 3-4 business days, all the way up to PACNW, CO, N. CA, etc. And I did it for barely any more money than these guys charged for 3D printed light baffles. It seems a bit ... gougey.

 

Ok. Holy shit I’m lucky to be alive. My passenger side LBJ has horrible slop and you can pop it around in the socket. Soooooo, the moogs that lived 60k miles were simply plotting the appropriate time to take me out. Dodged the kachow bullet.

 

Glad I didn't have to use this spot I saved...

Thank goodness. Wish you guys would have said something.

 

Wish I would have saw your post earlier. Hopefully all will be good with my order.
