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

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.

 

I liked all the hot sauces I tried at your casa last time.

 

Drove it for the first time in a little over a month. Was experiencing some engine shutting off/rough idling, check engine light for MAF sensor low voltage P0102 (it was a new AutoZone part less than a year old that the previous owner installed). Tried cleaning the sensor, didn't fix it, then the alternator voltage regulator tested bad and it pretty much sat until this past weekend when I replaced that, then put in a new battery today after I found out I killed the group 34 AGM and it wouldn't take a charge. Don't really care about that though as I have no idea the age of the battery and I've been really happy with the new battery I just put in that I've had in two other vehicles. Duracell 27F from Sam's club for 140 bucks. Great CCA and reserve capacity, and the battery strap actually fits this properly vs the AGM battery that was much too short. On a side note, I found it strange that this Hitachi MAF sensor (ordered from AutoZone) appears to have had the part numbers scratched off of it?? We'll see if the engine light comes back, but so far nothing. Had a little bit of a low/rough idle when I first started it up but seemed to be running well/normal by the end of my test drive/trip to the carwash, so I'll probably clean the throttle body next and maybe do the spark plugs as I don't know when they were last done either. Alternator is a 150amp remanned duralast from AutoZone. Couldn't find a denso 150 anywhere, considered getting a Toyota one, but ended up going with vatozone. Ramble over.

 

I also pulled a wheel off for the first time since buying the truck and saw this

 

I will! Truck won’t be here until mid August (military move) but I will definitely reach out thanks!

 

thanks man. The truck won’t be down here until mid August (military move) but I will reach out. Thanks to the Texas boys!

 

Errything is made in China, except babies, those are made in VaChina.

 

Truck looks great mang.

 

Lol, yeah I just assumed they were genuine OEM wheels, so was a little disappointed to see they weren't. Actually I'm not sure now? Just tried searching and found on the 4runner forum that the OEM TRD pro wheels were made in Thailand. Not sure if that's currently the case?

 

Look real enough to me.
