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

Yeah it smells. Mine was bad too. But sounds like yours has us all beat...

 

5000k DRL leds in place and switchbacks ordered for the turn signals.

 

That looks really nice, good match

 

I'd like to make my fogs and headlight ambers into drl instead of the head lights.

Exactly like that. What is thy bidding my master?

 

Not sure if this solution to the leaky back Access Cab windows has ever been detailed, but I think I found the culprit (at least one of them). Its the rear slider window track when it gets gunk build up which clog the weep holes, that overflows into the cab and down the back wall behind the back seat. The water ends up in the rear corners of the cab on the carpet. See pics.

Rear track inspection. Yep goop. Hmmm let me pull it up and see whats under.


Let me pour some water in this water channel with the dirty track out of the way. Yep clogged.



Lets poke the weep holes in the bottom of the track with a sharp pointy rod and scrape out the goop with a cloth and screwdriver.



Lets clean out the rubber track holes that were clooged.





Now lets flush the track and see what happens. Yep. Water in channel is no longer overflowing towards the inside of cab. An inspection of the outside of window rubber gasket reveals success! Water is flowing out from bottom of seal into the outside.



Put it all back together and spray the rubber components with PB Silicone.

 

Got the windshield eyebrow tinted, removed factory steps. Just pulled into the garage to remove the sticker on passenger window and for some way

 

Went ahead and caulked the rear gasket (top only) and the top track trims on both sides front to back.

Blue tape is your friend. Used Liquid Nails ‘Fuze’. Nice color match.

 

My roof trim in the front on the passenger side it starting to pop up, maybe I should do this. Great idea!

 

Big Box has the ‘Fuze’. It yours isn’t leaking, then a few dabs along the track should be good. This stuff is perfect for auto repairs. Flexible, yet strong. Bonds to wet surfaces too.

I went over kill on todays ‘waterproofing’ project. This leak has been around for a few years (off and on). Hope everything done today got it.

 

Does anyone know if camper tops are transferable from Tacoma to 2002 Tundra? I found this one near me and I'm wondering if it will work.

I think they are close but they will not match up perfect from what I’ve heard. There’s some topics that have referred to this.

 

Anyone with some rust scale starting around their rear cross-member, or wanting to prevent rust on a new(er) frame: Buy a grease needle and insert it into the crevices/cracks where your frame overlaps and pump loads of grease where ever you can. I’m using moly-lith grease, then following up with PB Blaster Penetrant with a straw and squirting it into those same cracks that have already been loaded up with grease using the needle.

The grease acts like a dam/seal, which locks in the PB Penetrant, thus flushing/bathing the vulnerable spot in petroleum distillates.

Note: This will not cure holes in frame or severely rusted frames. In my case, I noticed some minor scaling where the rear cross-member ties into the frame side channels and decided to take action using the tactics above. My frame has already been through Toy recall with no problems (no holes) and they sprayed the rear half with the black tar coating at the Stealership. This scaling isn’t addressed in recalls.

Stealerships coating ‘fix’ isn’t going to stop the scale from worsening at this critical area of the cross-member tie into the frame. My fix will.

See the grease squeezing out of the overlaps. This is the second application of grease this year. Should be good to go for many years as this will prohibit future rust and lock out salts etc.

 

Skid Row back at it again with 20% off and free shipping till the end of the year!

 

Man I wish I could afford them right now.

 

Damn it. Tempted to get the short motor pate and sell my big one...

 

I’m still waiting on my front and transfer case skids to arrive.

 

Are you still waiting from the Black Friday Sale??

 

Yup. The transmission and oil pan plates have arrived. The other two had to be powder coated.

 

U got a link to how you did the drls?

 

what lift are you running with those?

 

You mean the wiring? I bought the truck like this. Only thing I’ve done was the fog anytime mod.

 

I've been trying to catch a glimpse of your hands ever since you joined this forum (back when I guessed it was a reference to all the pics members post that show only their hands), before I learned you were actually a @Professional Hand Model. Here I finally get a peek... and it has clothes on.

Good write-up on correcting the leak by clearing the channel of the window seal.

 

Toytec Boss coilovers with SPC UCAs
Wheelers progressive AAL with 5160s

 

Yes. Ok I need to do the fog anytime mod.

 

@because_v8 Good luck today, Jon!

 

On the interview? Thanks

 

Are those sumperbumps easy to install?

 

Let us know how it goes. If bad, you can move up here. I'll hire ya!
