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

Be sure and go OEM on gauge sensor. I bought a cheap one for my old camry a long time ago and the gauge reads way off.

As stated if you can hook up an OBD scanner and temps show proper you don't need to replace the ECU sensor only the gauge.

 

Ya it’ll be OEM. Gonna change both since I’m in there.

 

I just ordered a Prinsu rack for it, nice to have the extra storage.

 

Your gas mileage will say otherwise

 

It's a tundra.....as long as MPG is a positive number it's good.

 

On our 4r I’d say we took a 3-4mpg hit putting a hipster gobi rack and ladder on it; the ladder is absolutely useless and we use the rack on average .5 times a year(before the tundra we used it more)

 

Interesting. My MPG improved with my roof rack. Then again I had my tent up there free ballin b4. Feel the rack eased the hit on the tent. Got like 1mpg better

 

Timing belt and sway bar links put in at 183k miles!

BE WARNED: the seller of mine said he changed it at 100k. The condition of the belt did not look like it…. Looked original - I gasped when inspecting. Be sure to look at that!

 

Parts came in and I've dealt with my window problem. Windows now work fine. Also had time to restore the plastic on the bumper and side trim. Used Solution Finish Plastic Restorer recommended by JDMDriveway on Youtube. Worked great. Truck looks way better with the plastic restored.

 

Eh, not concerned with gas mileage, all my shit is in the teens anyways.

 

Same on my wife’s JGC. Dropped from 23mpg hwy to 19mpg.

 

Pulled the starter out, and cleaned up a bunch of mouse poop. Seems like a good time to replace the O ring in this crossover pipe too...

 

Love these updates. Keep em coming! Great for documentation as well.

 

Picked up this clean ARE cap for $300, from a junkyard in Killeen, TX today. Thanks for the hot tip @Mohoman


Also got my truck re-tuned, so I could remove the Hewitt bypass.

 

I bought these with some self tappers. Work great. I run 3 laches at the top. You should be able to use just the tops since your laches are still good. They do break over some time if you drive a lot on dirt roads and like to party. so I replace them like every year as they break/needed

$5 Prime-Line F 2532 Slim Line Sliding Window Sash Lock, 2-1/4 In. Hole Centers, Diecast Zinc, Black-Painted, (Single Pack)

Prime-Line F 2532 Slim Line...

 

Hell yeah, glad you were able to find pick one up!

 

All the cogs worked together to make it happen. Casey let me leave the old blue one on his property and Beau is going to come get it eventually.

 

Seen this on OfferUp today during my daily search for 1st gen parts or deals

been seeing a lot of broken radiator caps recently were the spring breaks and falls into the radiator. looks like this guy got it bad. I seen other post say it ends up by the thermostat when it breaks. I wonder what cost it to lock up
