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

I attempted to fix my fuck-up with the ECGS bushing today and realized the drain plug wasn't gonna come out ( I've had it out before about 2 years ago I don't remeber having any problems). Today wasn't gonna start that way workin' on the truck. Aborted mission, started searching the lexus drain plug stuff. Anyone confirm that those part numbers work for a 2006? All I saw was 2004 and before members posting about them.

Here are part #'s for front diff, trans case and rear diff washers btw.

 

It was rusting under that section.
Seems like be a major pain to remove so hoping to try and seal it to keep water from seeping under it unit I can get tonneau cover on it. Hopefully will mitigate moisture issues of any other seeps in the liner.

 

What is this Lexus drain plug you speak of?
Both times I've tried to remove that plug I've had to work it loose with an air hammer

 

I wasn't seeing luck with my Dewalt 1/2" impact plus the angle sucks with anything but a single socket. I didn't wanna round it off and be fucked. Need to figure out what size torx is down in there t55 fits the allen head area but that didn't feel like a good idea. might have to use heat...

I don't know how to change the wording of the link like the "here" that's clickable like the cool people...right click doesn't give me options to change the hyperlink btw. @shifty` ?

 

Type out the word(s) you want to be linked.

Highlight the text you want to link.

In the chat box, 4 icons to the right of the bold/italic/underline buttons, is a chain link icon. Click it. Paste the link you want to apply into that box and click OK. The forum does the rest.

If you screw it up, highlight the link again, and either click the chain one more time to update the link, or click the chain link with the X at the bottom left corner to totally kill the link.

 

So Nice....

 

Well we're making headway; today I finished up the rear u-joint. This one was a PITA! No matter what I did I could not budge the old one so I took it to a welder friend of mine to see if his press could do it. No joy. He finally got out the torch and burned the old u-joint out then pounded the old cups out. I've done a heluva lot of u-joints in my career but never had one like this. What a pain! I also replaced the rear brake shoes and drums then took it for a road test. All good. Next up,, front coils, struts, and swaybar links.

 

What brand of U joint is that?

 

Moog

 

Bummer

 

I am not looking forward to do this now although I will admit the corrosion on your hardware seems like a lot more than mine.

 

Meh.

 

Idk how I feel about these yet. Kind of pricey for what they are but they do feel nice.

 

Is that some sort of butt pad wedged in the seat? I’ve never seen one of those before.

 

The armrest lol.

 

I took them off. The search continues haha.

 

Sexy

 

A little "busy" for my taste.

 

I mean they were nice
