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

Sounds like a clutch fan or more likely, radiator issue.
Towing in a 100 degree day with the new Rad it never went above 184.

 

Tacuaches come to mind with that. Why they all think they have an LSX in their shitty trucks is beyond me.

 

The slammed silverado guys? With rowdy cams and stock converters and 20 series tires? Or is that a houston thing?

 

Pulled the plastic bumper off today to install an aftermarket electronic horn that plays whatever noise I want it to. It's really weird to see what a chunk of plastic does for looks.

 

Prolly the radiator then. I replaced mine a week after I bought it a few months ago with a Denso unit and Toyota (Denso) t-stat and the needle will not hit mid-point even here in the Az desert. Just a thought.

 

My hot rod had a double Cherry Bomb. Never has a turbo 4 sounded so deep & burbley.

 

Worked fine when I got the truck....about two years ago.

 

Salt life!

 

180* headers and true duals with muffs at the tip.

 

Wut! Why do you have an AC with the electric fan for condenser?

 

Man I'm wanting to pull the trigger on some long tubes and duals. Just waiting for Dirty Deeds to run a sale

 

I thought he was?

find a quality muffler shop that works with mandrel bent pipe. Those dudes can tuck everything nice and tight, may even have that aluminum bubblewrap in stock for shielding.

 

Helped a friend replace rear bumper on her 2003 AC. Not too bad at all.

 

Photos? I am contemplating bumpers. Need deeeets

 

He doesn’t really support 1st gen platform anymore
It’s all about the turd gems

 

Finally got my ditch lights installed. Rago brackets are awesome!

 

Installed a cheap CB radio in the worst spot I could find so I can talk to my cousin’s turdwagon.

 

It's one of my many aftermarket mods. I use it when I feel like the AC should be more cold at idle. I live in the desert and it's regularly 100 degrees.

He still made me a custom exhaust when I called him and told him my setup. The scavenging/power ratio from my new cat back from him is way better than my last setup.

 

I'll take radiator for $500, Bob.

 

Oh he will sell you ANYTHING, but the group buys that get jammed down our throats; never applies to the 1st gen systems.

 

This. But I saw he offered a solution in that of an upgraded y pipe for 20% off for first gens. I think he called it a partial standard system or something. So there's that.

 

Would for sure lean the same way

 

That’s good to know, I hadn’t seen that.

 

I saw it on one of the FB 1st gen tundra groups Dirty Deeds likes to spam group buys that don't apply to us. Someone called them out and they responded with that offering.

 

Yeah I snoozed that group last year sometime, but that’s good someone called them out on that.

 

I’m still on the fence of keeping SAIS. We’ll see what happens. I’m pushing the exhaust off a bit longer to focus on the 01 Tacoma. But I do plan on some stans headers for the truck.

 

Wrapping up couple of little jobs with @jpink

 

sorry, no pics. really hardest part is pulling up the plastic.
