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

Assdog hahahahah asshole dachshund is a great name lol

 

Oh damn, I better get some parts ordered.

 

Tick tock, MFr!

I just got my dome light on my cap wired.
Finally used the soldering iron @shifty` sent me. Thanks bud.


Inside of my bed is pretty much done now. Ready to camp in the cold.


Tomorrow I might finally wire the compass mirror and ditch lights.
Now that I have a soldering iron, a couple feet of 12g wire and heat gun, I'm unstoppable.

Or maybe I'll swap the bellow on my driver side tie rod. Maybe all three if they all go smoothly.

 

Installed my new seat cushion, it didn't firm and plump it up and much as I thought so I took it back apart and added high density 1/4" upholstery foam to it. Still pretty soft but I'm guessing that's how the seats are, got rid of the lean I was having at least.

 

Also installed my my new Prinsu rack, washed and waxed after the install.

 

Pulled the single axle.....

Due to fall being here and people's grass no longer growing as fast as it was, our "mowing schedule" is kinda nuts. So.....

Did the local resort HOA as they run mowers out by 5 PM. Then over to the client on the really steep hill. Her grass is kinda "done growing" so this might be the last time we mow her this year. She'll call us when / if she needs it again.

It was pretty late but I talked the wife into one more yard but it was like 15 miles away! Got that one done so just four yards today, including the one literally next door to our property. (Which we always do first).

****
Tried to get the engine to do that "automatic engine braking" but wasn't successful. I'll keep experimenting.

 

Dude i skimmed over that earlier today at work, then now when im starting to figure out my game plan I looked over this again and was like, that doesnt go in that way. Or is he trying to press a shitty used one back in? LOL

 

When i was a noob we used heat on beau’s, because that was before anyone had read the fsm. But i didnt use any heat on mine, alot like brohons socket, cobbled together junk to make it work, but i did pull the knuckle (tied the brakes to the frame) to get it right and hold it in the vise. Didnt have to press them back in, because i got jba’s.



i’ll probably add a pump or 2 to the ubj on the next oil change. (1k miles)

 

Is this the brand you guys recommend besides oem? I can’t remember the name and I can’t find where It was mentioned.

 

I've heard that Akebono, the Japanese all-ceramic pad, is best since it lasts the longest. However, one must drive conservatively and keep their speed in check as it does not brake as effectively as semi-metallic.

I have these on two cars and for me and the wife, we are stopping fine but we are not driving like it's a race.

 

Don't know if you need it or not but I got a 1/4in impact you can borrow for a few days if need be . Also what's your go to NA beer? Been liking Athletic's ipas lately

Got a MBRP catback exhaust too, love it. Great on long trips too

Nice truck, looks a bit familar. Maybe I saw it at oc yota nights

Huh think I have the same uca, does jba want a specific type of grease or will the type used on the drive shaft fine? They're a bit squeaky lately

Not sure on that brand but I've enjoyed Powerstop's pads off of rockauto on various vehicles I've had. Currently have them on the corvette and they hold up to abuse pretty darn well

 

Did you steam the foam? I saw some videos where steaming the foam will open up the cells in the foam more. Plumper.
