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

Interesting. I've never heard of it. May need to check it out. For science

 

Yeah, thx. I was thinking the same thing. I swear I coated it once but yeah it needs it bad. Along with shocks ffs

 

What…. It’s so good

 

Just had to sacrifice a couple of knuckles. Finally coming together. OEM lca should be here today.

 

Prepping for solo lower arms

 

Question for you. I just installed my Fox (same as yours) but mine didn't come with any preload. Do you know how much lift you have and what your preload setting are?

 

I’m not sure of the exact detail on preload. I bought them used. I do know they were set for 2-2.5 with bumper and winch. They are on 650 spring. I have a tube bumper with no winch. I’m hoping to achieve the 2-2.5 lift if not I’ll have to adjust the preload.

 

Would you mind taking a measurement of how much threads you have showing? That should give me a little bit of a gauge of where to start.

 

Driver side has 8 threads showing.
Passenger side has 7 threads showing.
FYI this is on a 1st gen sequoia.

 

Thanks. Just looking for a starting point. Gives me a good idea.

 

Oh you dirty dog!

 

What day is it? Getting very close. Everything is welded, prepped and ready for OSPHO after I finish eating something. Paint First thing in the morning.
This damn Upper airbag mount took me the better part of a day and a half. Long story short I kind of designed myself into a corner. Stoked how it worked out though!

I'll go into detail on my build thread when I get everything wrapped up.

 

That's f'n art. Where the fuck were you when I bagged any vehicle I ever owned? Shit I'd had stabbed someone to have access to such. Love it.

Any concerns about water puddling in the valley of that airbag pocket? I know, it's Texas, but is it worth drilling a drain on each side?

 

Sorry, but totally read that in Pharrell's "Pre-Happy" NERD-era voice. "Dirty daaawwwwg"

All ya'll from Texas who need a different beer can import some from NC . . . .we stole your State for Texas Pete, so we owe you that much.

 

The hot sauce? I didn't know that was from NC! Lol

@The Black Mamba do you use Texas Pete?

 

Texas Pete is for fried chicken

Yea some douche from California sues the family claiming the marketing/product "was deceptive and led the named plaintiff, Phillip White of Los Angeles, to be willing to pay more for the sauce than if it was not marketed as being from Texas." LOL

I don't love it - will have to try it on Fried Chicken

Its at every table for BBQ here in NC.

 

Thanks man! Theres a bunch of details that will be in the build thread that I think you will like.

And yes, the bag mounts did get a drain hole


Im working on some covers for the top too, but that can come later. I wanna drive this thing!

 

Anyone in the Houston area? I just moved to league city and need to get these damn rear shocks off. I have the 5100’s ready to go on but can’t get passenger side nut off. I can bring beer! Or whatever choice drink

 

need to see a Smokey burnout

 

@455h0le_dachshund @Mr.bee ee @VR6T free beer and shocks!

 

Might be down there this weekend. I've had good luck with rear shocks so far, you havent tried cutting em off yet, have you?

 

I might be able to help you. I get off at 2am haha. I'm working the hospital in Webster now. So I'm probably closer here than I would be from home. Not that's it's much further away.
Otherwise I could probably help you next week. PM me.

 

It's not bad, but Frank's or Crystal are better IMO.
I'd have expected NC to be all about the Tabasco

 

Tabasco is Louisiana, and my favorite. I need to get one of those Tabasco belt pouches.

 

I've got a hot sauce from NC.

 

Swamp bawlz in our collective jowls

 

Not sure why i thought it was east coast.
Louisiana hot sauce is good too.
Crystal is still better.
