1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I'm beginning to think my Bosch wiper blades may never die. They were on the truck when I bought them and that was 4 years ago so I have no clue how old they are. They still work like new and we get a ton of rain here in Tennessee. Amazing!

 

...but my porridge is too hot, lol.

I keep checking my junkyard for seats of any kind that will fit. They seem like impossible to find unless you go OEM and pay up the wazoo!

 

So I guess the question is if there's an adjustable steering column that would fit. Something Toyota (Sequoia, Previa) or possibly G.M.j as they were friends back then IIRC.

 

Epic!

 

Did some mediations this morning on the FSM from 2003 thats on the internet for free. Still not able to do a specific key word search, BUT was able to discover the side page quick scroll which is doable.

 

Were there disagreements over your findings?

 

I’m thinking exhaust time is coming sooner than later. Do I go the DIY route the long tube headers out to a x pipe then 2 varex mufflers and then 2 tailpipes out the passenger side or do I run one oem muffler with a cutout that goes back into the tail pipe.

idea is to have a quiet mode and loud mode so I’m not dead after a long trip

 

You going to do the bypass so you can run the 00-04 headers and save some money?

 

probably. we'll see. my air pump was replaced like 3 years ago on this truck. so i may just run it proper

 

These are the cats i plan on running.. should work. metallic sub straight should also mean less impact on performance. hopefully good enough to make the Emissions happy.

and 2 of these for the mufflers (i'll use a QTP controller so i can setup the valves to open and close with the homelink on the mirror)

2.5" 300 series stainless from the headers back with a x pipe after the Cats. hoping it should do well on power and be quiet and loud when wanted

 

i may delete the SAI just to afford the ceramic coating. local guy does my ceramic coatings. headers were 100 bucks to do last time i asked. granted its been 6 years.

 

Replaced my Tundra this week.

 

How many check engine lights so far?

 

None! A 2020 with 625 miles on it, so I’ve got at least 375 miles left.

 

Lies!! Did you actually get rid of the Tundra?

 

nope. I’m down in Florida and this is my rental.

 

I was waiting for the punch line!

 

Man I thought you went off the deep end after all the trou le your trucks been giving you lately

 

I'm all for big tires and lifts but that's just too damn much.

 

Speaking of styling earlier. If the new Tundra looks anything like this it will be a substantial improvement over the current body style.

 

That picture has gotten alot of hate in the 3rd Gen section...but I kinda like it....it looks like a Tundra crossed with a Hilux...

 

Here comes the Ridgeline!

 

I'm not sure why they would hate it. Can't get much uglier than the current generation Tundra.

 

I don't mind the 2014 and newer, but I really don't like the grill treatment on the 2007-2013...but that's nothing compared to the interior. Interior on 2007-2013 is horrible...2014 plus is sooo much better, even though it's still not great.
