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

Here in MI it has to be a FULL 25 years, so technically not until the 26th year after the model year. Used to be you could ONLY drive them to car shows and "transporting", but they have since changed that to add Memorial day to Labor day unlimited.
I highly doubt if anyone has ever been ticketed for driving outside those perimeters though. I guess I am going to test that theory in 2026

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Can't do the antique tags here in arkansas unless it's a club car show queen. Minimal miles driven and pretty much all original.

 

Yeah, I thnk 2032 is the first year I can get a classic tag on mine.

 

Yeah our rule is for parades, car shows, testing purposes and pleasure cruises. Well every time I take the Tundra out is a pleasure cruise haha.

 

Yesssss.

The pleasure of using your truck, as a truck.

 

I see this said somewhat often and always wonder what it means to the person saying it and how it translates to the next person and so on.
Like is it to use a truck as a pickup, tow pig, utility/work truck, an off-road/camping rig, and/or to transport goods/services?

In my mind, a body on frame SUV is a truck, too. Especially if it has a V8 and/or 4wd. Hell I'd even consider most 2wd utes to be trucks.

I just always wonder what people mean when they say use a truck as a truck. I get it though, with the popularity of the short bed 4 door pickups that rarely do more than commute or haul passengers. Never seen dirt, or tow, rarely have cargo.

 

Whatever the owner feels it means.

Towing, hauling groceries, hauling ass, crawling (rocks or... mall ).

 

SCDMV rules

 

Classic plates are different than antique plates.

 

SC does not offer "classic"

BroHon definition:
1. Hauling anything a car can't
2. Going anywhere a car can't

Every time I drive this thing (after reviving it with my own hands) brings me a smile.
Even though a lot of her is a damaged iron oxide barnacle

 

I felt naked driving to town without my tools or polo, coulda done that on the motorcycle. So if i have my tools and my dog, i’m doing truck things.

 

A slammed corolla with a fartcan and an automatic coulda made it here.

 

i swear i just saw this video on yt

 

Don't tell that to @RUSTYNUTS

 

We could’ve pulled him up that last 20’ or so and he would’ve been fine. The dude in the orange truck said it was worse further into the trail so Rusty turned back. The trail was easy the rest of the way…

 

You think it would have taken just one of us or a train to pull em up it? I'll never forget back when I had a Tacoma prerunner, I got stuck in the mud behind the dunes on the beach. It took another first gen taco attached to a second gen taco (both 4wd) to pull me out lol


Different outting, same beach

 

1 coulda. Getting out of that much mud is definitely harder

 

Got the same ones mounted on the Jeep today. Really liking the look. Super quiet. They do not make them in my truck size though. Boooo

 

That big ass hill of quicksand to reach the top; I tried twice, then accepted the reality. Turned around to go back to camp, got buried, and then Emelio ripped off half my rear bumper (my fault, bumper was lacking and I shoulda tied up to the axle or frame) If you guys remember, I wasn't makin the first long hill, but got by with a tugjob. It's all good tho. Where were you guys on Go Fast Friday? oh yeah.... spectating

 

I had my foot to the floor in 4L in 1st and barely made that. I could barely pull my self up let alone another 5400lb.

 

Same. I don't recall if I still had the LSD or had the e-locker. Either way, I can only imagine attempting it with an open diff.

 

Maybe if you had 2lo as an option with your diff locked, you'd have made it.
The world may never know. But if a 1st gen Taco TRD 4x4 (with the grey wire mod and 2lo mod) shows up next time, it would be cool to test the theory.

 

I found these in the correct size for my wife's Kia Sorento X-Line and have been contemplating those or a size bigger of the Continental CrossContact LX25 that I put on my CR-V (they don't make her stock size). The CrossContact are awesome in water so far and wearing very well. But the Coopers would look great on her more "off-roading" look to hers. the Coopers are cheaper than the Continentals too. I plan on getting those on the Tundra when I replace the tires that are on it now.


Not her actual car but same thing.

 

Way to early to say, but so far liking them. The look is just what we wanted. The ride is good ( a little stiffer than the stock Forteras) and they are quiet. They are heavier than the stock tire option, but I don't really feel it much in the jeep. It's a pretty solid rig to start with.

 

Gratification delayed.
