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

In due time.


Sadly it’s going back to the body shop on Friday. We found one slight issue so he’s going to sort it out for me. Then I’ll throw them on


The driver door just barely rubs the rocker, so he’s going to straighten that out and repaint the spot, can’t hear it or feel it happen . Just after being in and out of the truck a lot today I noticed the run marks.

 

You know you're gonna get over 2" of lift with that mentality right?

 

Someone just join the Navy?

 

Who here has good pictures of their center console out? Trying to figure out what brackets I need to grab.
The double cab one.

 

There's mechanics whose driveway is covered in oil spots & there's mechanics whose driveway doesn't have a spot of oil on it.
Nice driveway.

 

I try to keep it clean. Plus I own toyotas, not chevys.

 

well dicked with the trailer harness now that it has it.. i have to add 3 wires inside the engine bay fuse box and 2 wires into the cab... should be fun...

 

I dont have any ill will towards other brands, but my truck leaks at least 3 different fluids. All from different places.

 

eh it happens. lol my tacoma valve cover gaskets leaked like a sive. this tundra had seeps from the cam seals... no leaks now. my corolla has a headgasket leak at 800kish miles and my avalon has none... my mothers ford flex? leaking from the rear main.

 

Nice day to spray. A little island humidity keeping it tacky, but its not a piano!

 

My truck had zero leaks. Always amazes me due to age.

 

I put the 06 up for sale. Going to get a 2nd Gen

 

Report post!!!

 

@empty_lord ….Have 2004 DC if that will help. What in particular does it need to show ?

 

If your talking about for a stereo upgrade you need a

$28 Metra 99-8268 Metra Radio Install kits

Metra 99-8268 dash kit its double din meaning you can use a touch screen unit.

 

Just installed a 22" light bar on my front bumper. Pic's tonight when I get home.

 

At which time I will throw some lowering shackles on or make a drop hanger. Haha!

 

I'm almost an overlander




On a more serious note, I don't like what I'm seeing with my coolant.

The little green line is where it used to be when cold. Is this normal to fluctuate?

 

Not good. Keep an eye on it. Might be like the winter shrinkage. The same size yet they contract from cold.

You need Jerry cans and shovels and little grippy plastic thingys that cost alot of money in bright colors on the side of your truck to be a true ‘Overlander’.

 

Ordered the following.

• Atoto a6 pro head unit
• Atoto back up camera
• Alpine 6.5" mids
• Obd II bluetooth for torque app
• Harness
• Mount kit

 

Paint job looks like butt like the first side doink repair attempt went last year. The second go around, back in the spring, made the side doink better. Something about the base coat is not shiny even though its ‘high gloss’.

Todays tailgate looks splotchy (probs due to primer) and I’ll wait a few weeks and spray it again like I did the side doink second go around in hopes of improvement.

This metallic paint looks different depending on the angle of the dangle. Some angles the repair looks ‘not noticeable’ but not perfect. Overall, I’m ok with it. The dents and scratches look better.

Maybe I’ll spray the whole truck to match the muted look! Or not and stick with hand modeling.









Before below.

 

Those Fiskars splitting axes are awesome, I have an X27 and wouldn't buy anything else again.

 

@bmf4069 will be keeping an eye on him now.

 

If I see it, imma shoo it.

 

Sun baked curing. Looking better! Painted the black bumper plastic, as well.

 

No idea how some guys say this brake booster job can be done without disconnecting the master cylinder lines. Got the master cylinder disconnected, fought with the lead to the ABS module, got it out of the way and master cylinder out. Inspected it and found a slow but definite seepage on the rear. Guess I'm ordering a new one and continuing this later.


Wrestled the lines to the ABS again and got the old booster out. Fair to say its damaged, I can see the rubber around the output end is shredded, probably how my master cylinder got damaged. Now gonna call Napa to see of they have a cylinder on hand so I can continue or order one up and get ay it next week.

 

Make sure when you’re finished,it’s totalled

So i can collect the insurance proceeds

If you need some ammo,let me know and I’ll load ya up!
