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

$50 oil change from pep boys...oil meter still reading half to low and changes when i accelerate

 

Are you talking about the oil pressure gauge? If so, it's normal for it to read lower at idle and higher when you accelerate.

 

Finally managed to get my 5100's and OME coils installed took a ridiculously long time due to unforeseen part mismatches and my idiocy. Now to tackle the sway bar and steering rack bushings tomorrow.

 

wasn't my Tundra, but she watched...
I was pleasantly surprised how well the RainX stuff did on my DD.

The bushings all went in easy as could be so here's the obligatory pic. I'm happy it finally sits mostly level.

 

OK I WAS WONDERING THANKS

 

Winterized by oiling the underside, changed the oil and lubed the drive shaft. Then rounded it out with a wash.

 

diagnosed the issue with my 4wd today. its the whole cluster behind the buttons. no resistance across the pins, following the toyota SM.

Replaced the lower ball joints in my 3rd gen 4 runner. Glad i did, they were on their way out. 289k on that truck.

 

Can you show which rain-x product you used?

 

Replaced burnt-out reverse lamps, replaced cracked negative battery connector, and removed broken mudflaps.

 

Love the blue!!!

 

That looks good. Did you have to scuff it at all first before you dipped the chrome, or no?

 

cool

 

no I didn't, it remains to be seen how it will hold up to the test of time lol but I wanted to practice on something before I tackle the cap

 

Got my tires rotated today. That makes 10,000kms on my set of Cooper ST Maxx tires. They still show almost no wear and tear.

 

New headlights,corner lights and put the TRD decals back on.

 

Got the new Duratrac's on installed my new rear shocks and washed and waxed the ol girl. Now just have to sand the canopy and match it to the truck and I'll be satisfied.

 

Put suspension on

 

I got the front EGR in-channel rain guards installed. Screwed up on the rear's. Waiting for new clips and plastic push pins to arrive for attempt #2.

 

I mounted a 2.5lb ABC extinguisher in my truck. 3 self tapping screws hold the mount against the hump under the rear seat of my double cab. The seat moulding has a little notch, almost as if they expected people to mount a fire extinguisher there. It fits perfectly and will be quick to access even with the back seat loaded full of gear. I just had to notch out my Husky liner to accommodate the body of the extinguisher.

 

Add a Sequoia bumper.

 

Got rid of the shimmy and shakes. Set up the operating table.

 

Finally got in my weathertech's from the Group Buy yesterday and installed them. Rear's fit better than the fronts do.

 

I installed an auto dimming mirror with temperature and compass today.

 

Picked up the bed shell my grandfather used.

He also found the (assumed) original wheels
Barns are beautiful things.

 

Took off the nerf bars. They were rusted where they mount to the frame, my MIL stepped on it to get in and it broke. Finally took them off.

 

Where did you pick up your headlights and corner lights from? I'm looking for some as well.

 

New wheels and tires

 

I got them from Rock Auto. Only $83 for the set.

 

Awesome, thanks!
