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

Thats what happened on my truck with the seized cams. 4 wheels place had all the ye olde macking tools and couldn’t getter’ dun without cutting and going all new.

Sounds like a thing on our trucks.

 

When I finally get in there we will see if Sir impact of Milwaukee can budge em. I'm betting it will.......one way or another.

 

It is on all the Toyota trucks with cam bolts.

they’re too cheap to anti seize the sleeves from the factory

Here are a few more pictures from that thread. They are 2nd gen doors but it's the same concept.

I did this on the front doors where I covered most of the inside, and then around the speakers.




Or you can do what this guy did and cover everything. I'm sure this sounds better but is more work/cost. I found that plastic sheet to be a pain to remove without ruining. And that part of the door is uneven and has a bunch of wires you have to work around. It can be done but it's time consuming. If you go on Noico's website they recommend covering the entire door. I'm sure they want to sell more product but they probably know what they are talking about too.

 

That looks awesome, until you need door acces.

 

I was wondering about the use of anti-seize on these cams this morning. Guess it won’t hurt!

 

Another boring day on the truck. Checked fluids for the first time in a few weeks. Everything looks good. Truck purring like always. Buffed off the haze on the inside windows.

Seeing lots of new members here on this site which is cool.

 

is there a better site to order the ECGS bearing than their own website? They want $14 to ship the little guy

 

Try Big Gurrll.

 

stupid me. I've heard the name but is that the website or something? Or is it a prison inmate's callsign?

 

Think Brasil. Then think... big women. Then think of the river near where they were discovered.

Big Gurrl frenn.

 

Just ordered the ECGS bearing from them since they make it anyways....now to remember who has the needle bearing removal tool/puller that is willing to lend it out????

 

Was going to work on the tundra... but I’m worn out now

Femputer sentences them to death by snoo snoo.

 

I thought it might have been you. Golly, that sure is nice of you mister. I'm hoping sometime next month to tackle this so I'll save that thread and shoot you a PM then.

 

Same here. Maybe we can split the difference and send it from.one another and the last one to get it sends it back to Toasty?

 

Reminds me of a guy I used to work for that used to call it Amazonian. This was before I had any money and he pretty much gave me the first fix and I was hooked from then on. They used to have more gun parts and as I got more money I was buying all sorts of stuff from the Amazonian haha. Now we will call her big gurl, because like a lady friend she is fun and hard on my wallet.

 

You lost me.

I didn't know what Amazon was. The guy I worked for got me hooked on it. Now she is a big gurl that empties my wallet.

Sorry I'm sick (again!) and I might not make much sense for a few days.

 

are you Robo trippin again?

 

Nah I'm trying the sambuco stuff. It had all the raves on big gurl so I gave in. My head just feels like the inside of a champagne bottle right now.

 

ok but I got dibs on first-ies....I don't want sloppy seconds

 

I want to cover my entire door... but I don’t want to lose the ability to easily service the door... I’m wondering if there’s enough room for some rivnuts and sheet metal to make removable panels to service. Foam seal on the metal and deadener over it to make the door a nice sealedish box for the speaker..

 

I was changing my oil today and noticed this wet area where the CV meets the diff. Drivers side.

Is this a concern or normal?

Thanks!

 

Weeping axle seal on the diff.

 

gotta try and straighten these fuckers out sinde the TC cam gusset wont work on this truck without me doing alot more cutting and grinding i dont have time for

(i'll just try and get em straight and throw some welds behind the ear to hopefully give it some meat

 

I used Herculiner. 2 coats followed by 1 coat for the spots I missed. Came out great! Save me $500 from having it Line-X

 

That's one of the reasons I went with a solid 3/4" bolt and adjusted everything with the uppers. I bent mine pretty good getting the rusty cams out. I think maybe 1 came without the help of my plasma.
I'm just now noticing that I don't have any good pictures of the half moon filler pieces I did to make it a solid 3/4" hole. This is the best pic I have, but I ground down the ears around the cam, welded half moon pieces in obround hole, and then did a weld washed of sorts on the bolt side.
