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

Nah, if you pull it out too many times, you're playing with yourself. Just don't attempt in the wrong places, you may get arrested.

 

Wheels down west of Ft Worth.

Today I found out how well Pastry drives in rain. Not just rain....but an hours long downpour. Prayers to folks in west TN and Arkansas. I'm not sure I've ever driven through so much rain and 3 counties under a tornado watch with one confirmed on the ground. Holy crap. But....she made it through the flood....lol.

Just SE of where I stayed....not my pic.

 

You can keep Harris Teeter, I have one down the street that I don't go to. I'd much rather live in TX than have a Harry Peter close by.

 

I lived in SA years back. Will PCS back again next year for my last tour.

Keeping CO tags and license for hunting purposes...lol.

 

Spent some time cleaning up the DC today, inside and out. Already looking much better.

 

Probably explains why they're on clearance then

 

Might take the front wheel spacers off. Heading to the alignment shop in like an hourish

 

Almost clear em. Still need to do some trimming and the 1" body lift is really going to be the final peace of the puzzle, just as I always expected. I'm so glad I learned about "thought experiments." Mine appears to had been pretty accurate so far, now that it's starting to play out IRL

 

Does it rub the frame or UCA without them?

 

The 295's did rub frame, but they were an inch wider than the Kendas and their wheels where a 0 offset, vs these wheels -10mm offset. I haven't tried it without the wheel spacers tho

 

I have vivid memories of riding the school bus in the early(ish) 80s after we were relocated to DFW. Morning pickup, we were driving eastbound on Meadowdale Road in Arlington about a ¼ mile from our house and a tornado touched down off in the direction of Ft. Worth. Moving there from JAX FL, I'd never seen anything like that in my lifetime. I learned what "hyperventilating" was that day, because one of the kids was panicking. The bus driver was pretty much, like, "Stop overreacting, that shit ain't gonna get anywhere near us!"

Wild times. I don't think I saw any other tornadoes like that in the few years were were there before getting relocated to SoCal. It was wild. I do remember, strangely, you could walk around the concrete culverts in the area (We lived on Avanti Dr.) in a section of the neighborhood east of us where there were a bunch of high-tension power lines, and find random 1"-2" chunks of quartz crystals. I never quite understood how or why they were there. Guess they came up when they were excavating to put in the culverts?

It's so weird the shit you remember as a kid.

 

Keep a check on I-40 at the Msslippy river eastward. We still got an ass kicker coming they say. Mphs, Jackson, Nash had twisters all around those areas.

 

Was gonna do a full rear break assessment, cleaning and adjustment to FSM specs today with another round of brake bleeding. Got the brakleen, the lube and more brake fluid for bleeding. But man, the rain is unrelenting. Flood warnings abound.

 

I hate dreary weather. You guys down in that area got some crazy weather Wed. I was watching a live with a couple dog trainers, one was in Bowling Green. His family was taking shelter in a closet he just kept talking, fuckin' sirens going off in the background and all. I started following storm chasers reporting down there and Holy Shit! Hope all is well.

 

Old stomping grounds around Pocahontas, Hardy/Spring River, Ozarks got/gettin hammered among other places in your State

 

Just finishing up a rear diff fluid change. Its pretty filthy, likely the 1st time its even been changed.

 

That stuff looks nasty and smells worse even with only 50k miles on it.

 

Why did you pull the e brake cable?

 

Did you change it out in the hospital parking lot?

 

When i lived at a gf’s dad’s apartment i used public parking for oil changes. Mainly out of need, his driveway was too steep to be comfortable with jackstands, and the garage was full.

 

I just do mine on the street. Completely legal so long as I don’t spill.

 

i havent spilled a drop since ‘94. But grandpa uses my used oil as weed killer.

 

You’ve been changing oil since you were around 10 yrs old? Damn, I couldn’t even drive till I was 16.

 

I’ve been changing oil & rotating tires since i was 5.

 

Gave the old 1st gen its annual spring detail, wife caught me and made me do her car too..

 

Haha no, those are visitors parking spots in my condo/townhouse neighborhood

 

It was in the way of the fill plug, and the plug probably hadn't been removed in 20 years and was rusted pretty bad so I just disconnected it on that side so I could use my impact wrench to get it off. I ended up replacing both plugs with new ones and crusher washers
