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

I'm gonna guess you don't have the full set?

I was close to ordering but then thanks to Jeff Lange I realized that my '05 has no clutch start cancel harness so I have to go custom. I'm sure I'll have OEM parts needs in the future though.

 

Full set of fasteners? Nope. Spares? Yep. I can count how many of each I've got if you're interested. I don't intend to pop my cowl off again any time soon, so doubt I'll be busting more.

 

Yeah, but for $5 shipping I may as well get a full set and let you have spares for helping others closer to you, yeah?

Buuuuuut, if you happen to be sending me stuff, then, yeah, I'd take the extras. Kinda depends on if you're already sending me something.

 

Ordered a diff breather relocation setup from Yota Shop today. I continue to excel at ordering vs installing.

 

You and me both.

 

I’ve had my rear disc conversion for over a year… still not installed lol

 

You also have like 7 other projects……..

 

Yea. Mr2 is getting attention right now, the 98 taco is next in line. Followed by the 07 then the 02. The 02 and 07 to be sold


Whenever the body guy is ready, the tundras getting fixed… then back to regularly scheduled programming

 

Some would say jump the sellers to the front of the line. But those people aren't on here.

 

Both Tacomas will have for sale threads on tw and tundras. People here would be more willing to pay knowing it’s got new frames vs Craigslist/Facebook. I’m going to ask a pretty penny for the 07 especially. Probably going ti be the only 07 taco in the world with a 3rd gen taco frame. New suspension all the way around off a 3rd gen, resealed engine, 4runner 17” wheels and Falken wildpeaks (slightly larger than stock) and all the maintenance done.


The 02 will pull decent coin too. But it’s getting a freshly painted used frame, all maintenance and the body needs a bit of body work. But nothing too major.

 

Tundras running really not happy today… it would appear all the fuel trim woes stem from the SAIS bypass. I’m very confused

 

Thanks for the reminder

 

Added another 2.5oz Trans-X slip additive today. Still a little chatter. If it's not better by EOW, next weekend will see Lucas 80w90 going into the rear.

Me three.

 

Swapped in a grill from Trail Runner Customs today. I still have to put in the lights, but I think it makes Olaf look a little bit better

 

I tried to get more grease into the slip yoke zerk this evening while the boss was fixing supper, she’s super thrilled about the lift plans and maintenance that needs to happen before this summers move across country

 

Stole some lights off the 4runner

 

Drove her home from the dealership after the airbag analysis. Snow finally cleared. Also did poly body mounts on the 2016. And turned off passenger airbag for a visual indication of what’s broken.

 

Where to? Work?

 

Yessir, good ol Marine Corps moving us from Quantico, Virginia to San Diego in July…we’ve been here just shy of 3 years so naturally that means it’s time to pick up and roll out….only another year and a half until I’m eligible to retire and let my kids plant the roots I never had don’t think we’ll stay in Cali though, probably move back to VA to be close to friends who have kids the same age

 

I still have parts in my parts box from Panhandlemonium.

 

Thank You for your service….

 

Panhandlemonium episode 2? But we all show up at mr.bridgebuilder's house without warning, and work in his driveway?

 

Thank you for your service. Hopefully the rest of your time in goes quick then!

 

Dad rounded out his 20 @ Miramar before retiring. Any idea where you guys will settle in? We landed in Poway, right off Roberto Way with a bunch of other military families. I wouldn't even want to imagine what that drive would be like today, in the 2000s. It was about an hour to get on-base back then. I'm guessing in today's congestion it'd easily be double that.

 

Currently trying to get on the waitlist for base housing(6+months) but there’s some military housing units between La Jolla and Pacific Beach that would be perfect. My mother in law lives in Riverside so the wife kids and dogs will be hanging out with her in the short term, fortunately it looks like the rental prices are coming down a little bit over the last month or two so maybe we’ll get lucky and find something sooner. We considered getting into an RV and full timing so we could have the flexibility to bounce around if need be but the kids are a little too young yet

 

Don't do the full-time RV thing unless you are that 1 in 10,000 special family unit. Wife and I did the Camper thing between houses for months and we were cool with each other, but it's a different world from having a real house.

 

Well, he hasn't been around in a while so maybe we should do a wellness check on him. Bring him a cake or a stripper or whatever it is we do.

 

Hell, I'd settle for a 12 pack of ultra.

 

Installed APS Iboard 6" running boards. Seem sturdy enough. They don't sit as flush with the body as I'd like but sure is alot easier getting in now.
