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

Remove for sure. Heat gun and one of those magic erasers maybe?

@shifty` didn't you remove yours.

 

$3.53 + tax for a tranny drain crush gasket! That’s like 35x what it costs to make! SMH

 

Shoot I think my dealer charged me $5.xx. Also, is that the same for the fill plug or does the fill plug not have anything. I need to do this soon

 

Dad took the brush guard off. The end of the line is coming soon for us, and the ole girl

 

Gave her a bath.

​

 

I did. I used a heat gun set to 450º, plastic flat razors, and sticker/adhesive remover. Turtle Wax brand, which may or may not temporarily soften clearcoats. I can link you with more details if helpful.

 

That’s just the drain plug and it’s for the ones where you fill it via the dipstick.

 

No dipstick for mine. They said both the fill and drain plugs use that same metal crush washer but I thought the fill used a black rubber washer.

 

Entirely possible. You have the newer 5 speed transmission.

 

Is it going on crackie next?

 

What’s the beef?

Those appear to be too big for the drain bolt on the transmission.

 

Yes, that $300 spent back in 2018(?) Was well worth it

 

The square tube section of the frame is collapsing vertically in the front. I don't have the time, or the funding both due to youngins to do anything about it

May look into seeing how the rear cross member looks

 

So what is your pops replacing his tundra with?

 

Maybe a lexus

 

GX?

 

You gonna rob parts before parting with it? Front bumper for example….

 

The front bumper on the silver truck is fucked up too

I'll eventually order a bumper from Amazon one day

 

Let me know if you'd like my LS430 buyers guide. Or have any questions regarding LS430s.

 

I don't know what he's after, but I'll find out

 

Today I got motivated by reading posts on here, jacked her up again, removed passenger front wheel, and tried to get the tie rod nut back on using a jack under the tie rod.

It worked so-so. It went from 3 washers and a cotter pin to 2 washers and the nut (no cotter pin).

I feel better about it now.....will go to the shop (hopefully) within 2 weeks.

 

Mine was like that. I just pulled it all off with an eraser wheel.

 

I ended up ordering these, actually I ordered their whole HD kit. It didn’t seem to save money to order everything separately, press bushings and add risk/labor. It should be here in a week I’ll let you know how it goes.

My last worries are….
*Brakeline extensions or relocation?
*Shim to align driveline axle after lift?

 

I'd get front and rear extended stainless steel braided brake lines and a BPV bracket. Lots of places have em on sale right now. I got mine from Wheeler's Offroad years ago, and they are still going strong.
I guess I've been lucky, I've lifted or lowered almost every truck I've owned and I've never needed shims.

 

Sorry quick look thought they were the diff washers (12157-10010 and 90430-24017). They worked great for front and rear drain and fills. Looks like the tranny is 35178-30010 (like on your receipt!) How about 15 for $7?

Yes please.

 

LSPV relocation bracket, yes. I can link a few kits if you can’t fab something up. Brake lines were unnecessary for me. Shim also unnecessary, no radical pinion angle shift from lifting or lowering that little (for me, at least)

 

Oof... I didn't realize he was asking about the BPV bracket.
I revise my reply to include BPV bracket and extended ss braided brake lines
