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

That site sucks and it seems like they try to unnecessarily use freight a lot. Wanted to ship a CV axle via freight when other dealers ship them normally.

Serra Toyota has that skid plate for $135 shipped on their current sale:

 

Go price them at the dealers. If I take it to a shop and have them refoamed and recovered it'll be about 900. Just the lower seat foams from Toyota it's 748 bucks before shipping.

 

Thanks, I’ll check into that.

 

Toyota Parts Deal works as a dealer network and ships from a few different dealers. If you ever need to return parts for them it can become a headache. Their customer service is pretty poor. Ourisman or Serra Toyota during the 20% off deal has great prices IMO, and Ourisman's customer service has been good in my experience.

 

Seat foam should be vacuum packed & sent in a mylar bag.

 

Looks like it more than double that for me. I’ll just buy it used instead.

 

Junkyards baby

 

I figured it out. I looked up your part number from your TPD post (51405-04010; this is a Taco part) on Serra to get that price. Your Serra post has the correct part number (51405-34010). For the price of that new skid plate from Toyota, Skid Row is only $70 more for a much thicker skid plate. But yeah, I'd look used. If you were closer you could have mine.

 

I like people to know I'm a cloth seat fan...

 

Back side coat on

 

Man, given the situation with your truck I think I would have skipped that purchase and just rolled without a skid plate. Are you leaning towards keeping it a while longer?

 

I’ll continue to roll with it until I find a replacement or it rolls off a cliff and burns.

Ideally, if I could find a similar tundra that just needs a motor that’d be perfect as I could transplant the powertrain I have which I’ve taken good care of since new.

A skid plate is a worthwhile it since it limits salt intrusion into the engine bay.

 

My offer still stands to look at one down here if you ever want me to. There are 4 best gens in my neighborhood alone. Plenty of rust free options.

The Houston offer is good. Unfortunately, I can’t replace a VVTI engine with a non-VVTI one.

 

You could if you also swap the trans and the ECU

 

I'm trying to get my nephew off his ass and go get that red one

 

I’m not sure if it’ll cause registration or inspection issues having the older engine.

 

It shouldn't with the older ECU.
I mean only you would know

 

It would cause an issue if I move out of state where they still do emissions testing.

 

Not unless your current truck has a CEL

 

There are still places doing the tailpipe test, so hard to say.

 

Assuming your cats work, that should be no big deal

 

The mounted side took a lot more primer than I thought it would.

Bash Bar is done

 

Well move to a state that doesn't do that shit. Tennessee doesn't. It's kinda like Baaaasstinnnn seasons wise. A lot more hollar folk tho.

 

Well fuck me stupid..... We're all about to feel taken to skool again

It has to be.

 

Which AI app did you use for your avatars? The ones I tried sucked.

 

I think @bmf4069 did those if I remember right. But my mind is like a sive trying to hold water
