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

Damn, we're pretty close. You definitely win in the paint department! I'll be that ugly brother though.

 

Full 5 gallon buckets on the corners with tie down straps holding it down to them is ticket. We get LOTS of venues that dont allow reps to stake down popups so this is SOP in outdoor industry.

 

And at USA age group swim meets.

 

Sweet looking rig man. I am putting 5100s all around on my rig, and in combination with OME 2885s coils up front, and am curious if there is a squat after doing so. I also have an AC, 4x4, V8, with a camper shell on the back. I frequently drive the truck with drawers in the back too for tools and camping shit, so I don't know if that would likely play a role in a squat. Boxes weigh about 300 pounds in total with stuff in em. Hoping to get some advice on how it all looks or looked on your rig when you put all those goodies on.

 

That's a weird city/town block layout..do you have a sidewalk that goes through your property or does everyone get free parking on the public land in front of their home?

 

"canopy tent sandbag"

 

Installed the Scangauge mount from Spiker. Simple, straightforward and functional, I like it.

 

Ima ask what may seem to be stupid questions but momma always said… What’s a “RAS”, how much lift and does it affect ride quality? Thanks!

 

Nice. Ran wiring or is there a way to Bluetooth connect?…

 

Added a solid 3 n a half horse power.

 

Scangauge is wired, no Bluetooth.

 

Phenomenal job running the wire bud.

 

Got myself some insurance for when I’m out n about. Been wanting an extra axel for a while. Have an old old axel I was gonna repair, cut n add high angle boot but cvj made it so easy I couldn’t resist. Now for extra ball joints. Im usually out there on my own so try to be as prepared as can be. Any other extra parts you all take/suggest I take?

 

Brake lines

 

Better late than never. Finally put on my last two pieces of Skid Row. Trail run tomorrow maybe?

 

Yup have an extra front line in the truck.

 

That a ‘piano black’ wood/leather steering wheel? I keep wanting to buy the eBay special one…

 

Is it just the camera angle/lens, or is that a super wide series tire you’re running?

 

Probably the lens. Tires are a 285/75/16

 

Yeah, I can see that now looking at the rear tires in the distance. The angle makes those fronts look like 14.50s or more. I had questions...

 

That sucker is mint my god. @bmf4069 has a fraternal twin

 

Haven't done much in the last couple months. Just enjoying the truck. Loaded up with ~800 pounds of stone today so squatting a bit.

 

Worked a bit to isolate a driver's side suspension noise. Seems like it could be left side steering rack ram/rod bushing? (not links). Oof.

Drove to meet a guy to pick up some stuff. Turns out he's an engineer for racing shocks, so we talked shop. He was very interested in things I've done to my truck, wanted to know if I was an engineer. That was nice, because I'm clearly not.

Did the TSB 0067-09. The 2WD 2005-06? - your truck clunks at starts and stops because we fucked up the rear transmission mount bulletin. I got the parts during those March sales, thanks @shifty` !

Test drive seems very positive.

 

Nice!

I'm surprised mine haven't come back loose yet. Just threw some blue loctite on them. Once they do I'll swap parts (they've been stored in the truck for a few months now lol.)

 

I had previously pulled them and used loctite, it was a very temp fix. I think the reason the TSB has you replace the cross member and the mount, is because when the bolts start to move, they round everything out. The only parts that are different are the 4 bolts that secure the tranny mount to the cross member. A bigger flange and higher torque value (like 5 lbs)

This goes south again, I'm welding the tranny mount to the crossmember. The undersized bolts there is what caused the problem. There is no issue with the mount or the bolts into the transmission.

 

Now that I think about it, I can weld my old crossmember and sell it for $300 with a lifetime guarantee.

 

Update on the supercharger. I have spent 2 days chasing fuel leaks, and I've bought 3 different sets of injector seals. Every single one has leaked. I'm getting really fucking sick of blowing hundreds of dollars for shit parts.

 

I soaked all mine in gas before install

 

Already tried that. Also tried silicone grease. no matter what I seem to do they leak where it meets the rail.
