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

Math. If my odometer says that I went 300 miles on that tank, I take 300*1.08= 324

 

Went to the dealer and got 3 oil filters for 19$ I guess I should have gotten an air filter….
Went to Napa and got oil filter and fresh air filter for the 4r for 44$!

 

A 24 mile difference across a 1/2 tank could be explained by me needing to block/punish a mouth breather. I’ve always gotta be on my best behavior or i’ll get 10mpg like the rest of you barbarians.

 

That’s Luda Christopher Brian Bridges, dawg.

 

Bummer! I would try going through Serra and have them file the claim. They probably have a department devoted to it.

 

I give it less than 5 years before the dealer starts selling moog.

 

Better add to the hoard soon!
My kids keep telling me to text you if you AND polo want to go camping…… but they have alternative motives…… they want your bottle caps, “will polos dad send us all the bottle caps he has?!”

edit: please don’t

 

Do they also want more of his linguistic lessons?

 

They learned YEET from Casey! So yes probably

 

I do. Once i get sliders i wanna camp on that slot canyon oscardog went through. Are they fallout fans? They need to barter for my caps.

They are, I’m not sure if your into the stuff they have to barter…… but I’m sure you’d play along, your a good sport!
Everyday when I get home they ask me if I brought them home a treat, I ask them the same question and they get super worked up and say “we’re just kids! We can’t get you anything!!!”
I’m like I’d take a drawing or a cool rock, hook me up!!!

 

The 5.56 case they gave me in sedona finally blew off my antenna. Had some pretty stout winds the last time i got groceries. I was surprised it made it back to amarillo, and double suprised it made it home.

 

I’ve clocked my mileage and think I’m at 6%

 

Pulled the trigger on a set of Rocky Mountain All Terrains from Discount Tire today. about 120 miles round trip to their shop, good run for my formerly short tripper truck.
Tires are good enough for what this truck is. I am actually pretty pumped . Coming from all season Coopers, these look nice and beefy, and the tread is DEEP.
The drive home was much more well behaved, but she still has some mildly whack geometry in the front end from the "accident".
Rained, so I got to feel the wet traction and braking right out of the tire shop (pretty decent for the price point) 3mnt.snowflake/50k/$624 out the door.
Previous owners tires were 3 Cooper disc HTPs, and 1 Dunlop. The Dunlop was 27 years old!! , Coopers were 4116
Ready for some State land 4x4 trails to get my feet wet.



Need a dust cap for drivers side... part number?

I think I like these better w/o the bulbus center cap. The top of the cap looks like it detaches from the extension, going to try using just that.

 

Installed my Archive Garage Hammer Hangers.


Got the winch


Powdered the old spindles. Will likely list the spindles, koyo bearings, hubs etc for a couple of bucks if anyone wants light grey spindles. Bearings have 15k on them.

 

Yeah I'll try giving them a call tomorrow or Monday morning if they're not open. But at least this also came in along with it. I've been missing by back passenger side mudflap

 

If they have the barter bobble head their barter skills should be raised a couple points thus getting a few more caps out of you

 

Well I thought I had my coolant issue fixed but I guess not.

popped the hood after 3 hours of towing my camper.
Temp gauge never showed it overheated, have already replaced the radiator and thermostat and hoses.
Replaced the cooling fan clutch as well.
Doesn’t leak any coolant that I can tell but the overflow was full after this.
Only thing I could think is that the water pump is failing???

 

Copy that! Wasn't sure if youre were adding the extra 8% to your miles or gallons.

 

Have seen that b4. Was it packaged adequately? Be ready for this...

Radiator cap could be intermittent.

 

Took a couple reference rpm pics for you yesterday. Both are on my 265/70s. 1st one on the old tires, second one on the new.

I use this tire size calculator to adjust miles traveled by +3.7%

 

I didn't know you have the bastardized master cylinder. One of those freaks!

Are you sure all your hose clamps are set properly? Probably need to clean it up really good and see if you can find the source while it's idling.

 

Gave her a quick ceramic spray wax this morning. Trying to hold on to what’s left of the clear coat for as long as I can.

 

My first thought but it’s only like 2-3 years old.

Still gonna run by the dealer to grab one.

Am I? I don’t know I was that ugly. Is it cause I have VSC?
The thing is, it doesn’t leak when idling, drip overnight or anything. Normal round town it does fine.
I did pull the serp belt cause I keep hearing a ‘grinding beating’ noise that I can only assume is the water pump?
I guessing the PO had the water pump done when the shop did the timing at 187K. It’s at 224K now.
Here’s a quick video of the noise that’s surfaced in the past 6 months or so.

Yep.

Ugh. Wish I could delete the VSC. It’s nearly killed me a couple times so I unplug it when I tow

 

Yearly oil and filter change. Put a whopping 800 miles on last year. Gave it a bath and put her back in her resting spot.
