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

Those are those sticks I bend in half backing my truck into at work. Something about protecting the grass or something.

 

That’s how I read it, but I don’t speak full on noahnese, me and him speak a lot of the same languages, but that isn’t my best vernacular

 

I got 19.5mpg once, driving like grandpa.
Never been able to crack 18.5mpg since, though.

 

I've heard dry ice is your friend to get back to newish or even new. I'd like to try working with dry ice. Lasers too. Neat new stuff in the detailing world.

 

When are we installing your 4.08 axle?

 

Oh the MPG curse. I did 47 once in my TDI on a long ass trip. Best I ever seen again was 44.9 mother fuckers.

 

Wait... So it's not actually an antenna? No reception?

 

Yeah I think you have to have the perfect ambient temp, pressure, humidity, and a tail wind

 

I met the surplus owner from falling down on a train to benson once, he was headed to a film festival

 

When ever I can find a flip kit in stock of an 00 to 06 tundra or equivalent taco. Either sold out or no longer in production.

 

For ubolts?

 

Floppy floppy….. hmmm

 

One of the best dark comedies ever filmed.

I know it's supposed to be an action drama. But I watched it for the first time stoned in college... Couldn't stop laughing.

 

Yes

 

It’s sooo good!


After the edit, I could definitely see that too, I just like the 80s or I guess 90s nostalgia I guess?

 

About as much reception as the useless plastic antenna on a first generation Motorola brick flip phone.

 

My dad had one of those. Back in high school around 2004ish, all my friends were getting cell phones and I was the odd man out at lunch. So I started bringing my dad's old Motorola, just like the one you posted. And I started making fun of everyone on their phones, pretending to talk and play games on my giant cell phone lol

 

So this is why you don't fit in, trauma identified ...

 

I mean there's probably a list of reasons.

At least I fit in here and in my off roading group. That's all a weirdo like me can ask for.

 

Oh, you can ask for more.

 

I think they noticed. Analog phones were so 20th century. Everyone was digital at that time.

 

I could, but it wouldn't do me any good

 

They 100% noticed. I was being a clown and it didn't even have service. Hell I don't recall if I even charged it.
Everyone had Nokia's and Sony's back then.

 

Yeah the tube, hell if they're all over the place out there, pick one up and see what it'd cost to mail it to me. I want shiny blinky on tippy toppy

Noahnese is one of the hardest to learn, but you've got a good handle on it.

I had one of these from middle school into high school. It didn't have a phone plan, but I had the phone. A charging dock, and a spare battery. It still worked at the time! Buttons were backlit green, it was cool as fuck. I loved the display on it too. Used to carry it around the house as a teen and pretend I was somebody important.

I think I ended up shit canning it.

 

It's not fair to only log while travelling downhill. If you're really getting those numbers, we're going to need some more info, such as;
HOW are you getting these numbers? scangauge? math from fill-ups? did you factor in the regear, or does your speedo pull data from the wheel speed sensor? If it's all legit, then you're a fucking hero and you must tell us; how in the hell did you do it?
Inquiring minds want to know.

only time I saw anything that high was from the drive down Big Bear Mountain. Think it might've had something to do with the 5K ft. drop in elevation, but I'm just guessin here

That scene is what named that movie. somethin about a 3 legged table? So many good parts tho. Great flick for sure

 

I think being lowered, 2wd, stock tire size, and bed cover are a big part of the higher MPGs I've been able to achieve. Not to mention I live at sea level, where it's pretty flat.
@assassin10000 has VVTI and 5spd. IIRC he's either lowered or plans on lowering, too.

 

Don't make me draw a mf picture

 

Gets double my mpg, with the same truck.....

 

See post below

Not to mention I've done a ton of maintenance, including injectors and fuel filter...
Plus some power mods.
