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

Head appears to thick to be a roofing nail. Probably a screw of some kind. We’ll find out when I get home.

 

Ah, I think I see the plus, now you mention it.

Fingers crossed it's only a little shorty ½" screw.

 

Ordered timing belt kit and radiator from RA; I better get a cool magnet!

 

Here’s hoping. Doing oil change today, so I’ll fix it with tire rotation if needed. On a brighter note, averaged 15.1mpg this tank on these 285s. Not shabby. Normally would get around 15.8mpg with the 265s before.

 

Jealous. With all this cold I'm only getting 9-11mpg around town.

 

Dude, you’re like a magnet for these occurrences now. Someone put bad juju on you.

 

No telling where they are all coming from

 

If you’re waking up and finding it when you go out to start your truck on the morning, I’d invest in a 24/7 security camera.

 

Got one of those already.

 

I had the same issue and when I got a wired PoE camera, it went away. Someone was able to get around the security of my WiFi spotlight camera and put a nice new drywall screw 1/2 sticking out of the rear tire. Even the cop admitted it was vandalism.

 

No one hates me enough to go through the trouble. Plus I just fix em myself, so they aren’t really accomplishing anything. I don’t want holes in my tires, but plugging them is quite satisfying.

 

I wouldnt be surprised to find grandma slitting my tires.

 

Whatcha do now to piss her off?

 

Threatening to go home. Finally got her a dr appt, but its not until feb 7th.

made sure her pipes didnt bust was the main point of this trip. I’ve gotta get home and check on my plants.

 

Oil change and tire rotation done. Greased the drive line (ya lazy sod!!!) and adjusted the rear brakes. Also wiped the frame down with some penetrating oil. They’ve been brining the roads here during snow and ice events now

small screw, not enough to penetrate the tire, so no repair necessary



Frame and rear axle wipe down. Nice and clean and mildly protected

 

My sequoia antenna never really worked. I replaced it with this one and reception is good.

Someone needs a new catback exhaust. I’ll bet those pipes are paper thin up front.

 

That’s mostly dried mud

 

My mistake then, carry on.

 

Found this local deal! Trying to get my buddies at work who want to get into camping to buy it, haha

2000 toyota tundra limited 4x4 gas for sale by owner - Huntington Beach, CA - craigslist

Or me trying to justify getting a second FGT!

 

If you haven’t bought it yet, even to flip it at that price, You sir have missed the boat.

 

I just saw the ad a bit ago and texted the guy. We'll see!

 

That's not the original license plate that it came with, might not be a California truck originally.

 

yea i definitely wanna check it well for rust and get the VIN and carfax it

 

It’s barely half the normal market price there. And only 140k miles? Surprised Jordan motorsports hasn’t scooped it up, slapped the new TB, LBJs, 2.5” lift and BFG tires and relisted it for $29k yet.

 

Pulled a bone head move and over filled my engine by 1qt. My 2019 used 8 qts and I had that in my head instead of the 7qts my 2000 takes. Oops. Drove it home from the shop and realized my mistake when entering the info in the note I use to track maintenance. Drove back to the shop and used a YouTube trick to drain exactly one quart out. With a helping hand, I used a shop vac on the oil fill opening while I removed the drain plug. No oil came out. We turned the shop vac off and the oil began to drain. I had the 5 qt jug under there to catch the quart I wanted to drain out. Then turned the vac on once the quart was captured, replaced the drain plug. Worked great.

 

I've seen that online before too. Cool to know it really does work

 

I love your plate facts!

 

Did you get a frame replacement? That thing looks mint bud.

 

My neighbors having an upholstery shop. They were working on this first GEN today, it has a wing!!!
