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

Correcto. I was working on another vehicle today and snapped this shot. @Aerindel the same concepts hold true for our trucks on the engine filters. The Toy filters are super high quality like this one.

I tried fabbing a cabin filter last year and spent time in @bmf4069 ‘s corner of shame. Only cost $12.99 and 3 hours of time, though.

 

Did some switchback LEDs. I have four, but they're so damn bright that two might be too much. They are still cool though. I also did an adjustable relay to fix the warp speed flash. On top of that I was able to clock my projector to get it more flat. I think both of them are pretty level now. I'll try to get a video of the switchbacks tomorrow if I get a helping hand.

 

Your poor paint! Try claybar mitt. You'll need one for the paint correction anyways.

 

Did you only do switchbacks in one socket on each side?
I did dual switcheroos on each side, the white light is kinda nice at slow speeds creepin thru the hood to Eegees. I did the diode dynamics relay flasher to combat the super flash.
Does anyone (phm) or the other tech gurus know if our turn signal stalk can be lubed or replaced with a loosy gooseir type stalk? (2010 4Runner is much easier to just tap to actuate the relay)The stock is hard to only tap to get the relay to flash, it’s either clicked over or not. Does anyone have any tricks?

 

I've gotta be mr cheap for the next two months. I did some research and theres a chemical for removing cement, or a lot of people swear by good old white vinegar. I'm gonna try the vinegar first. It isnt too bad really, just maybe 30 small flecks.

I'll be picking up stuff to treat my paint around February.

 

Wait, did you try to just wash/scrub it off? If you detail the truck at all, it should come off with the wax/product it landed on.
...or is it on bare paint?

 

Do you not have a skid plate? or is it under your lower light bar?

 

I heard vinegar is bad on black paint. Reduces horsepower.

 

Yeah one socket. Just the white ones now. They are so bright I can see them now with the sharp projectors. I was going to do the smart tap but I cheaped out. I really like the extra features though. I'll probably do it one day still.

No skid plate right now. I couldn't stand how it looked. I need to build a proper one that ties the whole front end together.

 

Going to give her a bath and maybe a Claybar/Waxing (depending) treatment today. 50% chance of moisturizing wetness essence.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

Found this surprise while removing the bolts for the rear seat. Previous owner was hulk?

 

Haven't waxed in years.

 

Learning about different features and comparing HU's is making my head hurt

Looking at fabbing the helper spring mounts today. any advice would be appreciated.

 

Do I try and put my shocks on today or not.. that’s the question

 

Do it

 

Dew it

 

probably will... the arms and stuff aren’t in yet.. but that’s easy enough to do with the struts in

 

waiting till next year was my yesterday saying, doubt you wanta use that today

 

Amazed at how much material I have left. Apparently I should have applied more on the doors.

 

Have you drove around yet? I kinda wanna do this, but would like too know how big of a difference it makes.

 

One side done center of wheel to fender was 21”, now 23”.

 

Yyuuugggeeee!!!

 

Do it

 

I wonder how effective.adding it to the rear.is.because I would imagine the seats do a decent job of sound deadening as is

 

Looking good

 

It makes a noticeable difference. The seats kill high frequency noises. You’ll still fight some road noise unless you put that stuff on the back

 

Washed 4 vehicles, including the Tundra, today. Put a V-Belt on one vehicle using a homemade SST Tool to finish the mac daddy of tune ups. Took quite a bit of used fluids up to the Recycling Wurrld Peas Center for Really Environmentally Conscious People.

Found out the Milwaukee Impact won’t fit to remove the rear springs shackles. Too Big!

Wonder if I need to buy the angled impact?
