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

Can anyone recommend a paint safe all purpose cleaner that I can spray between the cab and the bed and rinse off? There’s been a buildup of crap between the cab and bed and don’t want to take the bed off to clean it.

 

Did they keep the SPCs set at "C", or clock them differently? Piece of advice: Always re-check torque on your SPC UBJ top nut any time you get aligned just in case.

Someone makes a scrubber on a stick for that. What's going to get that clean isn't a cleaner. It's going to require massaging the built up crap off. EDIT: i.e. something like this:

Holy shit, did you figure out the multi-quote?

 

Something like this 18" wand from Griot's would probably work, although I'd rather 24-36" overall. Too bad it doesn't telescope. https://www.griotsgarage.com/extra-large-microfiber-wheel-wand/?sku=15541

 

I’m going to head to autozone and see what they have

 

How

you

multi-

quote?

 

WTF? How'd you do that? Can you do this one I posted back in June?

 

Magic Wand tool.

 

I've always known how to use it. It's just easier not to. I actually had all those as individual posts. But I was bored at work and decided to consolidate them.

 

Awesome, my TRD badge for my refurb'd grill just popped up at the nearby Toyota dealership. Guess I'll get that installed maybe tonight?

Or maybe not, I think I'm going to cast up a bracket that'll let me bolt up the TRD badge into the grille so I'm not relying on adhesive, and can pop the badge off to clean (or paint) the stainless insert if I ever decide to go that route.

 

And my DD-SS3 fog bezels will be here today! Truck may see a lot of facelift work this week.

 

Took that thought right out of my head...

 

I need me this in my Sequoia. Anyone ever done one?

 

Yup! Just wish I could afford this whole Damm behemoth! Lol

 

I have no idea what that is. I'm barely computer literate as is.

 

Finally got my rear 5100s installed today. The old shocks were shot after 18 yrs and 160k. Damn it rides so much better

 

I have a 55L fridge I throw in the truck whenever we go camping/road trip. Love it, but you go down the rabbit hole of powering it whenever the truck is off eventually. I was going to do a center console style one, but I like the versatility being able to throw it in either vehicle vs the permanent solution.

 

I wish I would have gotten a camping fridge sooner, it’s so convenient, and yeah I went deep down a rabbit hole of powering it; dc-dc charge controller is up next

 

changed my power steering fluid....kind of...my rack is leaking, I dont think p.o was using the correct fluid, so using one of those suction guns, sucked out fluid, flilled it, started it cranked wheels right and left few times, pumped it out, refilled repeat 3 times
i know this wont fix the leak, and im sure there is still some fluid types mixing, but at least I know the majority is the correct fluid

 

I call BS. You're 1000x mo better at computers than me. I don't know how to setup or build half the stuff you have.

 

I just dropped my 06 off with Juan. He asked how I heard about em and I told em the forums. Then he was like "I know who it was now. He was just here this morning." Lol

 

I mean, if it's not leaking at the hoses/fittings, dump 4oz of ATP's goodness in it.

 

Today's win: Grabbed the TRD badge for my newly rehabbed grille this morning.

​

Today's loss: Wife asked me to pop by Trader Josés on my way back home, and some nasty ass heinous anus shitbag in a black Dodge shitmobile decided to tire/fender check me leaving the parking lot. Didn't bother to say anything, leave a note, and the "parking lot watcher" guys that work for the store who were about 10 parking slots down the whole time didn't say or do shit about it. I hate scumbags like this. I realize it could've been far worse, it's just the principle of it all that pisses me off. This is why I usually park deep in the parking lot, far away from others. My only hope is, it reaaaaaally fucked up their piece of shit Dodge Charger (or Magnum or wtf-ever-it-was), like reaaaally dragged marks across their door. I can touch this up pretty easily, or just swap it out if it came to it. Stupidest part? THEY WERE BACKED INTO THE SPOT, ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS PULL FORWARD AND TURN!!!!!

he’s the man. He replaced my drivers side rear shock this morning (the shock I couldn’t get off) first thing and tried to not charge me. No way I would ever let anyone do work at their business for free but just goes to show you what kind of guy he is. I had to make him charge me lol. Top notch him and his father there.

 

Shout out to @BashFab - wonderful experience working with him to get these sliders made and installed!

 

I told em he was about 30 mins closer than the other Toyota shop in Houaton, I've used a few times. I also told him that once he fixed my front diff leak, replaced rear wheel bearings, diagnose and fix a howling noise above 40mph, and did an alignment, that I'd bring em my other yoter. It needs to be regeared with new LSD and a shift kit. But I can't have both trucks down at a time. That was my entire reasoning for buying a second truck.

Apparently he actually lives like 10 minutes from me. I wish his shop was that close. But 30 mins each way is way better than an hour each way to Teq.

 

Damn...

 

It should be legal to beat people who do shit like this. I told my gf if we're riding and someone hits me and runs, chase them down. There will be people to stop and check on me.
