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

I’d hope so, polo probably needs some loving tonight anyways

 

He went to bed 2 hours ago. Left me out here unsupervised.

 

Wake his ass up, how often is he waking you up? Return the favor!

I wanted to slap Django on vacation, prancing around at all hours of the night thinking he has to shit or piss, take him on a walk with all the street lurchens, and he just fucks around and doesn’t do anything!

 

Do the thing

 

Honestly? Anything flat up under the corner to lift and they pop right off. Just avoid folding the sticker while sliding up under it, it won’t un-bend. I stuck the first one to my iPhone case to keep it safe. The second two came off with the door adhesive left on the donor handle, so they went in my pocket, I wiped thoroughly with rubbing alcohol before reinstall when I got home. I grabbed three total. When I popped off my factory/OEM stickers, like the final two donor stickers, they left their adhesive on the door, so win/win for me.

I keep pinky nails. Not usually to the length of “coke nail”, but 2-4mm is pretty normal for me, both pinkies (one plus backup). They come in handy for all kinda stuff, and it just so happens, they’re really good for popping up those stickers if you angle just right. I practiced on some shitty yellow stickers from other doors on the lot first! Don’t bend up the corners!

For reinstall, I used the two w/o adhesive since they were most-primo. Centered one short end of the sticker in place, laid roughly where it should be, then nudged it centered, then put my thumb over it and pressed, wiggling back and forth, for 10-15 seconds. I guess we’ll see if they hold, I have no clue what adhesive to use if they fall off! I looked online and it looks like Corolla, Camry, Solara, Sienna, Tundra, Sequoia all seem to use the same general interior handle so I presume any/all will work.

 

If only life could be so easy. I never imagined that you could just peel them off without ripping them in some fashion. They looked pretty pristine is why I asked. Thought you had some wizardry or special process involved...lol...Occam's razor bites me in the arse.

Now if only I could grow a pinky nail but mine break off too easily so I have to keep them short and tight.

 

E85 compatible?

 

Got new battery terminals as the old ones were pretty worn and not holding to the battery posts very well anymore.

Also got the winch wired up, now just need to find a place to load up the line while i spool it up.

 

People huff from socks? I’m glad I don’t live in those areas.

 

Supposedly silver paint is the “best”?
But yes I think it is a thing.
What do the huff from in your neck of the woods?

 

Supposedly the “huffing dens” teenagers have been found using really varies. Dust cleaner spray comes to mind though.

All I know is metallic paint hits different.

annnnd we are lunch tabling in the wrong thread again.

Anybody ever see a dry flake gun?

Someday ima' flake the shit out of something.

 

Dobinsons

 

It’s never wise to come home to a wife or girlfriend covered in glitter.

 

What kind of wheel lock is that? Nes model of "the club"?

 

Mine are hard as screwdrivers. Like, literally, I can turn screws with them. Maybe it's just a bald dude thing. Body redirects all that energy it was previously using for hair and puts it in your nails.

 

Silver and gold both have a higher percentage of a certain chemical. Don't ask me which one because I dont recall. But that's what the huffers like about those colors most.

Day 2 of frame rust mitigation

 

I recently did the Seafoam spray treatment and was surprised that I didn't get nearly the smoke and duration that others seem to get, especially since the Tundra gets a lot of idle time. Followed up with Cataclean a few days later. I guess I'll find out more during my VC Gasket replacement in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, still trying to get the Bank 2, Sensor 1 connector to free up. Been on there 20 yrs and doesn't want to give it up.

Anyone know a) the part number(s) for the connector holders for the O2 sensors that anchor them to the undercarriage and b) if they come with the two different female connector housings associated with the US and DS sensors? There is not a good place to strap them down that I can see but tbh, I have been pretty focused on trying to get the connector free when underneath. Never even got a chance to look at the clip up close.

 

Put some 255/85R16 tires on today. Toyo open country MT E load. They aren’t the C load at4w tires I wanted but they were $300 for the set w/ wheels and still have great tread. Who else is running E load and what’s the lowest psi I can run and still have decent highway tread wear, these things are stiff! P/O was running 50 up front and 60 rear on his first gen which seems insane to me. No suspension changes between pictures, truck has an old front spacer lift of unknown height. Tires only rub frame at full lock and cornering hard

 

I have the same size in E and run 35 psi. 50/60 is way high. Like eagle tits.

 

Chalk test!

Was it nuts? I love this stupid ass redneck song hahaha.

 

Never heard it. That's just a saying we have round these parts.

 

I also run 35 psi on my 255 85 16 E rated MTs. Seems to work fine for me but might try that chalk test sometime!

 

I'm back and forth on running 33" tires on my FGT due to only having E load tires available for 16" wheels in these sizes. Sounds like the ride is Punishing. May just have to get aggressive 265/75/16s if there are no better 33" options in C,D load or P rating. Can't find any.....

 

If you don't have new tires by the time I pick up those wheels you can drive my truck around and see what you think. I don't think they're harsh at all.
