Nice paint, I need to repaint mine. I have 2000 TRD Tundra with less than a 100K, no rust (in the SW). It was the only year the motors were built in Japan. I'm taking it to the grave along with my 99 4R. For the way I use the truck I need to put Airbags on the back to be able to load my bike without major squat.

@TimmyTheToolman

Yeah, airbags could work or maybe just go with different leaf springs that give you some lift and a positive rake. When you load your bike on the back, you'll most likely come level and you're all good.

Your videos are great. Do you have any on how to change oil pan gasket on a 02 limited 4 x 4

@TimmyTheToolman

11 ай бұрын

I am pretty sure dropping the oil pan on a 1st Gen Tundra 4x4 will be the same as dropping a pan on any independent front suspension Toyota 4x4. The front differential needs to come out to give you the necessary room to drop the pan. Getting the differential out is most of the work. Once it's out, you remove the bolts and nuts that hold the pan to the block. Then, you use a pan separator tool or a skinny flexible putty knife to get between the pan and block and start working the pan loose. You get the pan off. You clean the pan and block surfaces. Finally, you reseal with some Toyota 103 FIPG. I hope this helps.

Did you notice that the SOLO LCAs brought the frint end down about an inch due to the wheels being forward an inch? That is definitely what happened to me. How much many inches of lift / preload did you need to adjust the coilovers to?

@TimmyTheToolman

10 ай бұрын

I don't think Don ever measured how much he adjusted the coilovers. He just kept adjusting them until he got around 2.5 inches of lift.

Very nice! I did a very basic lift bilstein 5100/one front combo and 5100 rear shocks+rear expansion pack nothing as crazy as this. I’m hearing a little bit of clunking noise, what can it be? I also installed oem lower ball joints. Thanks!

@TimmyTheToolman

5 ай бұрын

If the clunk didn’t start until after your lift, it could have exposed some worn parts on your rig like control arm bushings etc… but I would go back and check all the components you installed first to see if there are any loose fasteners. - Sean

I replaced my lower control arms with moog lower control arms and put siberian bushings in the control arms. I used grease on outside of bushing to press it in...Is this not good? Havent installed yet.

It depends.. if they are OEM style bushings with metal sleeves on the outside it might be fine.. if they are poly bushings, then technically you shouldn’t grease the surface that presses into the lower control arm bushing opening. - Sean

Are the tundra first gen suspensión compatible with T100 ? I Having a hard time looking for this information

@TimmyTheToolman

10 ай бұрын

We don't know. Maybe someone on a Toyota forum or Toyota Facebook page could help you with this question. Or, you could possibly call some of the companies of the products we installed and ask them.

Is there a company that makes a lift kit that also has a upgraded lower ball joint option?? The lower ball joint is the achilles heel of 1st gens, even OEM joints fail dangerously. Mine is a 01’ and the four bolts that hold it are even smaller than those of a 03’ and newer. Thanks any info would help.. from anyone.👍

@TimmyTheToolman

I'm not sure if there's a company that sells a lift kit that includes an upgraded ball joint option. Total Chaos has advertised an uniball ball joint for 200-2003 Tundras. www.chaosfab.com/product/2000-2003-Toyota-Tundra-Lower-Uniball-Conversion-OE-Tie-Rod

I level/lifted my 1st Gen 03 TDR Tundra 4x4 (3.7) 2 years ago. Im now getting some suspension creaking during acceleration from the stop position and also what seems like cv rattle/grind on turns, esp left hand turns during acceleration (as the body rises) - seems to transfer to transmission as well. Can a lift/leveling damage the CV geometry ? Thanks

@@johncalebsteele I'm not buying what that shop is telling you based off the time you said the parts have on them. Lower control arms don't need to be completely replaced unless they are rusted out. You just replace the bushings. Tie rods need to be replaced when there's play in the joints. Steering racks only need to be replaced if the leak is very significant. If the leak isn't that bad, keep an eye on the power steering fluid level and drive on. Shocks don't go bad that quick either. Get a second and 3rd opinion before authorizing any work.
