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

Hey have you posted info about your aux fan setup? What size fan, relay and any other mods to make it work?

 

I had them put the trans cooler in. Transmission. Temps have even been lower with it vs the old one


If you wanted to not have one, mishimoto makes a radiator without the cooler. Save some coin

 

I thought the first one you bought didn't fit your truck? Who made that one?

 

CSF makes the one for double cabs but doesn’t specify. Mishimoto fit access and reg cabs

 

Thanks. My chase visa does that and I use it always for that reason but the phone was about 9 months old AND it was free after trading in my old iPhone X so I didn’t technically ‘purchase’ it which sucks. Had to shell out another $950. The other thing that sucks is that I need to find a replacement front window and install it myself since it’s not going to be more than my deductible anyways.

 

This is one of those cases where I'd just look into Safelite. Last time I had a side window replaced it was under $200.

In the pic it looks like the back passenger window is spidered also? Was it just one or both?

 

Just the front pass window. That’s a tree shadow in the back. I can get a used window for $50 at the yard and get it tinted to match so I’ll probably do that.

 

It’s more time consuming than difficult but replacing window will give you chance to clean/lubricate if not done already.

 

What exactly needs to be lubed? I looked the last time I had my door panel off but wasn't sure where it was needed. And what type of lube?

 

And fix the scissor jack to reduce window rattle when partially-open, if you suffer from that (I know I do, both for the front windows and rear slider!)

 

I used Napa Sil-Glyde that I had left over when I took my moon roof window/frame out to clean regulator since it was struggling to open/close....the FSM calls for MP grease for many of our lubrication points. Each one of those window lube points noted in FSM are made of neoprene plastic ?? and one will see an improvemnet once lubed. I chose to remove the window/regulator completely since it had probably not been done since new and I wanted it German clean(goodin clean). My last one to do is the back window since I don't use it much and never been lubed since I've owned it.

Swapped the old antenna for a craven speed stubby

And scheduled my windshield replacement after my mirror debacle

 

Wait, if we take the two names and put them together it spells "Feather"... he loved to feather dust his motor... he was giving us hints the whole time!

We have to communicate with him through Amazon reviews!

 

I was half tempted to buy a MAF just to leave a review "hey Heather, are you by chance a professional hand model? ".

 

You know if you post a question on that part he will get an email...

 

Damn I should have ended that with "can I paint the cover black" so he would know who it is.

 

Why would that send him an email? I've left reviews before and I don't get emails when people ask questions.

 

There is a setting on there I think. I get emails for questions on stuff I bought and I never left a review. We'll see, I think he would have it set to send him questions.

This feels very ouija board.

 

Not to derail the topic but my Mind is blown…… I just noticed that my wife’s 07 sequoia has no radio antenna. Like never even registered until I swapped mine

 

look at the back window, it’s probably embedded there, or maybe it has the sharkfin on the roof

 

I never noticed that. Not even a little shark fin. Wonder how they did that, pretty cool.

 

If it’s 100 out I’ll see 180’s cruising at 60 and 195-205 going up prolonged hills.

 

I’m pretty sure it’s in the back glass, like @FrenchToasty mentioned. I can’t tell though cause the tints so damn dark lol. Makes for a super clean look though

@Darkness if Toyota was doin no antenna back in 07 looks like all the oem manufactures could do a better job hiding their antennas

 

This has literally made my evening been reading all these cracking up… man I miss Fred and or Heather.

 

Alright which one of you fuckers is Shuan?
fuckin up the bait here!

 

If it's like a 2005, it's in the rear RH back window.

 

Antenna is in the rear quarter glass if I remember right

 

Post the link so we can fuck up shauns day.

 

I’m not sure how long I’ve been gone but I missed you all! Man Darness and FrenchToasty are turtles now, what’s been goin on while I was away? Lol

Today I’m changing my rear diff oil after hitting 500 miles on the new gears. Looks like they’ve broken in well from the shavings on the drain plug magnet.


For those breaking in gears on 4WDs… Nitro Gears recos you break in the rear alone for all 500 miles/no 4WD during this time. Once rear is broken in, then start breaking in front/4W in 30 min drive/rest intervals. Their gear package doesn’t come with any break in instructions, told this is their reco after calling them.

oh and they said don’t break in 4w/front on road. You wanna be off-road cause there’s tension when in 4wd and you wanna be on dirt so tires can spin and relieve the tension.

Hope you all are well my dudes.

 

So why not order one from Mishimoto? Didn't you go with a custom unit from someone else?
