1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Playing with an entune 3.0 unit and there IS a setting in the diag menu for backup cameras. I need to figure out diag for my new radio damnit

 

Dan likes OEM radios because he can do fun stuff with them like troubleshooting OEM radios

 

You and me are in the same shopping boat. Hell, I haven't been to the store in a month. Lots of fast food and frozen dinners. Single living sucks.

 

@KarmaKannon that 1st gen tundra group on Facebook been talking your truck up. Specifically that front bumper chop

Also on a side note, didn’t somebody on here weld up their fender flare holes, @Siebler ? I’m still scrubbing, and need to chop more which means touch up for the Monstaliner anyways

 

I didnt have Fender holes but did all the Trim holes on doors. I believe pics are in my build thread.

I pulled the door panel apart and accessed the back of the door to hold patch from backside then used little filler to make it perfectly flat for paint. Because i was Monstalining and wasnt concerned about a tiny bit of imperfection, I didnt spend as much time and energy on making the patches fit perfectly inside the holes flush. Getting the glue off (before buying the 3m eraser wheel) was way way way harder and more work than the patching.

 

Joys of thirds

 

sweet thanks man, I’ll check it out

 

So, if I were to attempt to tow my 2002 Tundra with my 2016 Tacoma, how stupid would I be?

 

should be able to do it if you have the tow package

 

I do have a redarc brake controller but not sure if that plays a role? I suppose it really depends on the trailer I use and whether or not u-haul will let this plan out their door...

 

tow package means trans cooler. which is what helps ALOT

 

I’ve seen as high as 217. What trans temp should I start to worry?

 

ideal temp is 180. i hover around 200 when towing a tacoma some distance up slight grades. past 220 ATF degrades VERY fast

 

What has gone so terribly wrong in the Tacoma's life???


2005 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH CHEVY V8 ENGINE PARTS ONLY - auto parts - by... (craigslist.org)

 

Just ordered a new HVAC blower from Toyota. Mine has had a cold weather only squeak that has returned with the cold weather.
This one I'll actually install pretty much as soon as I get it.
If I wasn't working this weekend, I'd be working on the suspension. Need to figure something out there as it's not getting any warmer and my plan was to have it all done well in advance of the cold.

 

I decided I'm gonna make a salvage yard run to get an airbag control module for the SHO. My gf has been dying to go to the junkyard for a while, so when I told her she got all excited. I would say she's weird, but she did pick me so.....

 

Don't ever tell her you're going to an estate sale. I made that mistake many years ago and had to haul a bunch of crap to her apartment she bought but didn't really need.

 

Anyone given these a try?

 

They look like the stock flares on my truck.

 

Beachside Marriott chain resort in Florida for Friday....$50/night. Something to look forward to after my 30 hour train ride starting tomorrow.

 

That was me! lol

Im reaching out to him via DM now!

 

Hot dogs and buns bro. The ultimate sad bachelor meal (SBM).

 

I've gotten quite good at mixing random things into Mac & cheese and calling it gourmet.

 

Chili Mac isn't just a thing... It's a delicious thing.

 

Bro, I'm not even gonna lie. A box of Rice-a-Roni with a can of beans, pinto or black ideal, and 1lb of cooked hamburger meat added in is killer, and enough for a couple days worth of lunches and dinners. $10 or less.

If you really wanna kick it up, add in some sauce from chipotles in adobo, or a small can of diced green chiles, or a can of drained Rotel.

Lots of SBM options out there. But hot dogs are king, I think.

 

This a badass Tundra https://youtu.be/tSzZfIch6cQ

 

Yup, chili and hot dogs are my go-to. I tried hamburger, but it kinda dried it out. Tuna was OK, but not great. Tabasco is always a great favor enhancer.

 

Crystal's or Louisiana hot sauce here. But either way, you can't lose with vinegar and heat.

I don't think a lot of people realize how much subtle impact a splash of vinegar has on food. If they did, they've be like me and have no less than 5 kinds of vinegar in the house. Best part? That shit never goes bad. What's it gonna turn into, more vinegary vinegar?

 

Oh, and the trick with burger meat + cooked rice: Add the pre-cooked meat in when you pull the rice off. Be sure to hit the meat with a little onion powder and salt when you brown in, and reserve a TBSP of the fat render from the pan to mix it all in.

 

I like hot sauce.
