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

In case you don't already know this:
With the door open, hit the cargo light button twice (turn off and back on), shut the door, the lights will stay on for about 10 or 15 minutes. Very helpful when camping.

 

WL upgrade done. Also replaced all 3 brake hoses. Thanks @bmf4069 for the backing plate template

 

You're a filthy tease you are!!!!








Also, great job.

 

I wasn't lying. I have yet to see them on the truck.

 

How long til they go on? What's the hold up now?

 

Yea seriously, this guy making us wait! Im at work procrastinating cuz i wanna see some gold starfishes!

 

I'm going to crack the valve covers and start the TB this afternoon. While on the lift, I can lower the truck to the ground for better clearance without wheels on. Also, I still have the rear main to do.

 

Everytang so clean.... no rust... druel.


looks great Mamba

 

This is the most useful information that has entered my brain for a long time. Can't wait to do this.

 

Say girl

 

Dude, re-secure your bellows.

 

if only it were possible. The lip that protrudes to secure it is hamburger meat and won't even take a ziptie

 

Reminds me of one of my exes. Like a bad prolapse. Was definitely a lapse at least, a pro lapse in judgment on my part.

 

Girl
ok, now what?

 

You done goofed.

 

@The Black Mamba You're missing the 10HP upper clip mang

 

Good eye. After looking at everybody else’s pics, it looks like I just installed these upside down. I don’t see a picture that has a top and a bottom clip. So it’s not that it’s missing, it’s that it’s upside down…?

 

Valve covers and timing cover off. Heads look great. No gunk build up

 

Insides look like conventional oil usage for much of it's life. Them valve covers getting a little paint job too?

 

Probably not

 

Don’t go down that road or you’ll be painting your wheels gold to match and wearing gold rings/chains.

 

I've been driving vehicles with cracked windshields for 25 years. Apparently the Tundra is a nice enough truck to attract the Highway Patrol. Although, I suspect the officer just wanted to chat about the truck since he asked questions like, "how much did you buy it for", "was the timing belt replaced" and "how is the frame rust?" Geeze man, I just wanted to go get taco's for lunch.


So I did what makes most Toyota people uncomfortable and went to the shop and let somebody touch my truck to install a windshield. I also reattached the driver door side trim and clipped some eBay hub covers on the wheels. To my surprise the wheel covers actually look decent and included the Toyota sombrero.

 

Who did you go with? Independent glass shop? I'm somewhat amazed my 22 year old windshield has no chips or cracks. It's got a fair amount of scratches though.

 

Mine has been cracked so long the cracks are starting to bubble. As long as it's not imparing the drivers view, it's legal in TX.

 

I used a local glass shop. Kind of spendy, but I have had good luck with their installs in the past. The windshield that was replaced was already an aftermarket, so who knows how many windshields this truck has had.

I had to replace the original glass on my 1999 Land Cruiser at 315k miles. Damn gravel truck passed me and put a whopper of a crack on that otherwise clean glass I was not happy.

 

Yes! That is how my past vehicles have been. So much grime gets in the crack that the sun no longer glares off of it. The Kansas statute quoted on the warning leaves a lot of open ended interpretation on what "substantial damage to the window" really is.

 

He's the man, the man with the Midas touch.

 

Dude, I had a pristine windshield until a few camping trips ago. Going down the highway, got behind a gravel truck and got a nice crack on my beautiful windshield. I was pissed too
