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

Now they work
Hi Dale!

 

Must be some kind of hosting problem. I added them to my gallery and edited the post.

 

Man this thing is the tits. I love the F5's on it. Looks so good.

 

Cleaning the undercarriage today. I still have Sedona on my frame.

I regret buying an electric pressure washer this time. Fighting the cord and hose is annoying. My gas pressure washer never wanted to run longer than 30 minutes though.

 

Pro hack/ tip. Place a rainbow arching sprinkler under your truck for about an hour to presoak/ pre wash your undercarriage before power washing.

Also make sure your truck is cold before doing this as it could induce stress cracks on hot compoinets.

 

For light duty stuff my hazard frought electric PW has been rocking & rolling for 3 years now, changed the gun from adjustable to one that takes inserts. And it has a dedicated 50ft cord that stays with it. 70ft is enough for both patios & most of the driveway. Just gotta bypass the valve for whichever waterhose i'm using (all my yard water comes off the pumphouse, for some reason the exterior faucets are softened).

 

good, but if it had been bad and in an area that shops wont patch, why not run a tube

 

I’ll buy a new tire before I run a tube on the road.

 

That rack new?

 

Grab a coupler and a 25 foot high pressure hose.

I got tired of fighting mine and 50ft of hose lets me leave it in one spot.

 

No sir. Been there since 2020.

 

I'm going to have to keep tighter tabs on you

 

I hope my aftermarket wheels have just the right amount of offset not to rub the UCA, but also not put me into the pinch welds. I’ll ditch the spacers if it makes it fit better.

 

Welp sold the Tundra this morning for a get it out of the driveway price to a volunteer fireman.

He needed a replacement for his rotted out 05 AC.

I'm happy it's going to get used and is going to another 1st gen enthusiast.

 

No departure pic?

 

It's still sitting here until the check clears and we head to the notary for title transfer.

 

Let us see the old gal one last time.

 

I hope you continue to visit here.

 

I'll still be around who else would have me

 

So what will you drive now?

 

The DD is a 2019 Altima, toy is the 2017 Mini convertible, and my daughter's 2005 Sebring as a last resort lol.

 

The most surprising thing about that post is that a 2005 Sebring is still running.

 

Those are some interesting choices over the Tundra.

 

but what are you gonna do if you need a truck? you know, to help a friend move, or deliver a fridge for a family member? (don't even have to say no or avoid the call anymore)

practice this move

 

Grandma's car didn't even have 50k on it when I drove it home last year.

Commute to work is 50 miles round trip, double the fuel mileage helps a lot. I tried to buy a hybrid Toyota but couldn't even find one to drive when I needed to buy.

I actually did think about 'truck stuff' then realized I can pay for delivery twice a year for less than the registration on the Tundra.

 

Worst case, truck rental at big box stores is typically under $20/1.5hr or $130/day over here.

 

You should have posted it here first. I'm looking for a good one for my nephew. Gonna get him a Tundi as his acceptance gift for getting accepted into A&M Engineering School. Kids busted his ass I would have flew up and drove it back.

 

Find him a 4wd, then swap it into your rig, then give em the truck.

 

gonna have to turn my rig into a daily, was not why I bought it, but my 4runner is having suspension problems that I wont be able to get to for a few weeks
