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

I feel seen

 

Where'd you get the bracket from?

 

@shifty`'s hoard.

 

just one of my trays...

 

I knew we were kindred spirits.

 

Bought it on Amazon. It’s for the newer tundra.

just had to drill out one hole (if you zoom into the picture) for it to mount up to the tail light. I did add a washer to this. It rest right on the tailgate bracket. I bought the right side, a left side is also available.

I can take more pics also

Yes, please

 

I do too, so does my father. We get it from my Grandpa who came from Okie to California during the dust bowl, so yeah. From a sustainability standpoint, it's better to keep and recycle if there's an eventual use instead of putting in the recycling bin.

 

Back to using the truck as my daily for the foreseeable future so shoring up the loose ends. Finally got a new rack and pinion on. Went with Edelmann and threw on those polyurethane bushings too. Steering is pretty light now but I don't hate it. Probably wouldn't do it again, though. Just need an alignment now.

After I put the new rack on and topped it off with ATF using the steering wheel rotate technique, the truck was shaking badly when turning in any direction. Thought my rack might be defective. I let it idle for an hour and now it's fine. I guess there was air in the system. Might be some kind of air leak in the lines that are on the rack itself, not really sure.

Did pads and rotors too. Went with powerstop, not sure which ones, nothing fancy. I have the stuff to do the drums as well, but I'm kind of putting it off. A little intimidated by the job.

 

If it makes you feel better I don't even know the condition of my drums. Probably will have my buddy do them for me because I just don't want to haha.

 

Thanks, that's pretty sweet that it fits so well.
Question, does it sit behind the tailgate latch at all, or is it just flush up against the top of it?

 

I’d be down to assist if you decide to DIY

 

quick & easy cheat code for drums is to take good before pics, and do one side at a time. The front shoe & rear shoe are slightly different lengths.
