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

I think that's the engine Lotus used, so Id assume its the Lotus version that is 260

 

I’ve read the reviews and many say both products are the same, but marketed differently. The company that bought out did this and its confused many of the older users who ultimately say both are the same. The white bottle costs more.

 

Just read yours and Festers quote after the above post from me. Yep. Duped.

 

Yes. Spray microfiber and then wipe. Its an all in one for rubber, plastic, and vinyl. No need for multiple products. A little goes a long way. It restores stuff better than previous. Follow up applications require less product a few weeks later.

 

303 is going to be sold out due to the hand model!
On the forerunner forum a thread got started about putting those small engine carb filters on the inlet of the problematic air injection pump, to keep it from ingesting water and failure and repair. Ebay was sold out within a week, and big girl took multiple weeks to be restocked.
I can only hope you have that kind of pull!

 

Nah. There are only like 10 of us here and half don’t care.

 

Need to buy stock in 303 and Evap-o-Rust with how much they get mentioned on forums. Both are exceptional products.

 

Nice Looking Shoes. However you probably meant to post it in the next generation thread... (2nd Gen)

 

Anyone know what these clips are for under the front bumper?

 

Threw some no look hand jives on the tire pulley. Tight up there. Scraped the scale and did a grease rub post PB Showering. The chassis looks good. Thinking the pulley was made from sub-standard metal. This is the second pulley as the first was replaced after recall in mid-2000’s. The stealer painted right over it during the frame recall spraying 2 years ago?

Also tackled some light scale from underneath on those bed bracket screw down areas that @Tundra2 brought my attention. Scraped some surface rust off and hit those with Rust Reform. Might tackle unscrewing and greasing those Screw Down Bolts from above one at a time tomorrow.

 

You are correct sir. My bad. The heat is baking my brain

 

Front under-cowl covers missing?

Just throwing this out there, I’d vote in favor of you posting a GIF in response to every comment in this thread...

 

As pops would say when looking at rusted out bodies on other makes of trucks. "Inferior sheet metal."

Bed bolts? If so, that's a slippery slope. If yours are rusted through like mine were...

Yup, they came in the lotus elise/exige.

 

Bought my truck not ever knowing it had a cowl! I now know what I will be looking for at my next foray to U-Pull. Thanks Handy Model!

 

One of my neighbors has a bright yellow Elise. I want that car.

Wonder how hard it would be to swap that version of the motor into a Celica.

 

Working on a Secret Hand Jive Mod that will rise me above the fray. Less than $10.

‘Operation Turning Zzzzztttanese’

 

Thanks for the part#. Mine ‘seem’ in good shape after investigating from underneath. The 3 of the 6 brackets had some surface rust near the lower portion of the tube. I scraped it off and the structure is solid. Who knows whats going on inside? I’ll take it slow with a couple shocks in forward and reverse to work off the Mojo. If it feels hairy then things get shut down. Maybe after coffee tomorrow I change my mind?

 

The side pieces for the skid plate

 

Lotus supercharged version

 

That's the scary thing. The bed bolts in the through holes are "hidden" until complete removal.

The scary-ness

 

I was contemplating a similar thing. Wasn't sure how easy it would be to tap into turn signal wire close to "Am-buh" led strip.

Wasn't sure about installing on the side views, or on the body near the front door seam.

I was contemplating a "mirror" turn singal on the actual side view mirror. Not sure how clean I could make that.

 

Looking at sticking these in the mirror assy. Unsure of exact location until they are hooked up.

 

I will follow your breadcrumb trail. I like this idea.


How hard was it to remove the mirror? My pass side is aftermarket replacement. Oem was taken away by deer.

 

Scary Larry. From what I Spocked out, I can see the bolt tips from underneath on at least 4 of the 6. Give them a rattle/twist and crawl under to see if they are backing out. Speaking of which I might back out based on how scared you are making me now.

 

There’s a company that makes turn signal mirror glass. Can’t think of the coMpany name off the top of my head though.. made for our trucks. Heated and all

 

If successful it will be joyous time.
If unsuccessful you are basically committed to bed removal at that point.

Thems the facts on that job.

The two bed bolts closest to cab are in a raised portion of the frame. Hard to see those two from the bottom. Let me dig around for files on them.
