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

Hauled about 1400lbs of hickory wood today

 

New carrier bearing and u joints

 

Last weekend I replaced the radiator, hoses, thermostat and housing, serpentine belt, reattached an O2 sensor after the nuts rusted off, and changed the fuel and air filters. I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it all was. Then...

On Sunday I heard a clunking, and realized the back fuel tank strap had broken (rusted) and was getting smacked around by the driveshaft. So I drove for a week with a ratchet-strap holding it up until the new straps arrived...

 

New steering rack bushings...Pretty easy job!.

 

Where is the location where I can relieve the fuel pressure so I can take off the filter?

 

I replaced the radiator this weekend due to a leak in the plastic

 

When I changed the fuel filter out on my 2000 I just popped the lines off. Didn't have to bleed pressure off. It did leak the whole time so be prepared!

 

Hey Justin fixing to do same on my T100 is it hard to do? Any info or pics greatly appreciated

Here is the before photo

 

Let it sit over night if you don't want to get sprayed with fuel and loosen you gas cap to relieve tank pressure.

Get an impact and rent the u joint/ball joint tool at oreilly auto parts. i had to loosen my ujoints at front and and mid place to get my intermediate shaft off, once i had that off and the support bearing unbolted i stood it up i literally pulled the whole thing off pried off part of it and installed the new one. and i also looked at many youtube videos.

i spent 7 hours working on it with my dad we aren't mechanics but we have some basic knowledge. so unfortuneatley no pictures

 

Took about 2 hrs on mine unbolted main shaft by double cardan joint unbolted center carrier bearing then unbolted smaller shaft by tranny carrier bearing came right off i rented puller but didnt need used impact gun to take off nut in center center bearing slid off cleaned up greased slipped new one one

 

i used the impact to take the u joints out.

 

Got grease zerks on mine greased em up

Changed out my all old bulbs in my exterior to led lights much more brighter like it a lot

 

upgraded to LED headlights love the bright white, plugged in the fog lights but they wont turn on. trying to check the fuse but its damn near impossible to pull out... update coming soon but here are the headlights.



Update: I flipped the connection on the fogs apparently Japanese vehicles like to use the ground wire as power, forgive me if I didn't know. Lol

 

I replaced the glass door on my LEER hi top after the automatic carwash used & abused the original.

 

And today, i went to my local smog check man and got my certificate of compliance $44.95 and another $193.00 for California DMV, I'm good for another year. Chunk.

 

$45 is expensive for smog.. $193 is cheap.. Must be nice lol

 

They're both kinda pricey really, I've got 5 vehicles to keep on the road, but it's the price i pay to live in So Cal i guess.
The smog check now is nothing more than the state computer downloading the data from the trucks obd II, and if there are no error codes, it's a pass. Takes about as long as it takes to download a couple of songs. Chunk.

 

Holy crap at the price.

 

If you mean expensive, i agree, that red motorcycle in my avatar to the left is 40 years old and cost $93.00 per year for DMV fees, and California just added an additional 12 cent gallon gas tax and a DMV per vehicle sur charge of up to a maximum of $175.00 per vehicle, per year to start next year. But I'm sticking out out here, the weather is to nice to go elsewhere. I like sun and surf. Chunk.

 

Hey, I am having the same issue... flipped the connection? As in swapped the red and black wires?

 

@banta4x4 Noooooooo flip the bulb 180* degrees
