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

Mine have been great,but before moving up a notch i might try some taller 650lb springs. These things eat rr xings and speedbumps like butter. Even shit-ass i40 was pretty smooth in the rough stuff.

 

Not this one.


Decided his fate as i was pulling the jackstands out.

 

Which clip and how much lift?

 

Checking ground clearance, just in case.

 

Def making us rust / salt state guys drool over here. Its a constant battle fighting rust. Anyone tried the dry ice cleaning on here?

 

Anytime I'm feeling down I just call up one of the Southern Canada guys and ask for a random underside pic and it instantly makes me feel better.

 

Pretty sure it was #6 driver and #4 passenger for about 1", theoretically should be the same as what I had on the 5100s.

 

Without the spare, it makes that little axle look like its been skipping leg day.

 

Time to get the old full face respirator and wire wheel out. So time consuming.

 

Arrogant confidence.

 

What about the spacers DK gave you?

 

Then you'd love driving Elvira

I been thinking of buying or making a taller BPV bracket for Penelope and using her current bracket to lower Elvira's BPV an inch.

 

today I put the broken key fob in the new case I got off Amazon. Slapped in a new battery and now I have push button lock/unlock instead of the old door key.

 

Neat looking dog! Mastiff?
Always amazes me how much problems people have with their dogs and then there's the other half of us that work on shit and the dog just wants to be right there in the danger zone like a little kid .

Rhodie!

 

I didn't name names, but since you put yourself out there...

 

Just sticking up for all us rust aficionados
The fact that mine is still on the road is a badge of honor for her.
AND, my love for my truck is greater because she has so many Ugly parts and I still keep riding her

 

Instructions unclear. Please advise.

 

It’s custom fabricated. More details in my signature.

Absolutely no comparison to a stock location shock setup. Shocks are also position sensitive with adjustability between 2 compression zones and rebound. Setup super soft with a firmer bump zone.
TLDR - deletes small chattery stuff and really picks up before bottoming out.

@455h0le_dachshund has seen how quickly the rear shocks will travel just backing out of my driveway.

 

flush out your old fluid, and add a tsb or 2 to some new fluid. Silicone is the working ingredient.

 

Nothing too exciting but I did fix the microphone connection to my stereo. Found this while poking around thought it'd be a fun share:

 

I already had the GMRS radio tucked in the console. Took it one step further and replaced the cigarette lighter with an RJ45 extension so radio will permanently be out of sight and I can plug right into the console when I need it.

Finally he admits to being Southern Canadian.

 

Glad I decided to replace these. Now none of my suspension predates the frame replacement.
