Whatever

@OneGiraffe @Twizted what you all do for storage on the tundra? I know toyota kinda F’ed up on storage under/behind back seats. I see a few aftermarket options for under the seat. Wouldn’t want to do a rear seat delete.

store stuff like ratchet straps, maybe some rop, tow strap, jumper cables/pack,

 

My chest tightness up some if I’m around cats for too long. You may be allergic like I am. My eyes swell up and get extremely watery/red. I even get itchy sometimes.

I need prescription meds to help my allergies.


Edit. Don’t feel like I have the other shit going around, I don’t feel like I did when I had it.

 

These are not mine. I just thought they were awesome. This is called "The Wave" at Coyote Buttes. On the Arizona/Utah border.
Visitors are limited to 20 per day selected by lottery. It literally can take years to get a permit for the 6 mile hike.
The BLM rangers patrol the area heavily to protect it.

 

Yeah, we had the MotivX oil filter removal tool before even having the truck (it showed up while we were waiting for the truck to be ready to pick it up).

The oil changes on the 1GR-FE with a Fumoto valve are super quick, don't require any tools or skid removal, and filters are easily replaced from under the hood.
This 3UR-FE just takes a lot more time... Remove skid, special tool to drain oil filter housing, use special tool to remove oil filter housing, replace cartridge and o-ring, blah blah...

The mess came from me not having a drain pan with a large enough opening. I've been using a tall jug with a 4" opening for the 1GR-FE oil changes, and since the drain plug (or Fumoto Valve) aims straight down. The drain plug on the 3UR-FE pan is angled, and I ended up with a small steam outside of the jug. The oil filter housing drain/removal didn't really make a mess on anything but my hands, but that's still more than I've dealt with previously.

From what I understand, the oil change process on the 3UR-FE is the same PITA as the 3.5 minivan engine, the 5.7 just takes more oil

For those not in the know:
1GR-FE is the 4.0l V6 in the 2nd gen Tacomas.
3UR-FR is the 5.7l V8 in the Tundra.
Not sure of the engine code of the 3.5l minivan engine, but it's now what's being put in Tacomas.

There's room under the seat for the stuff you mentioned. The biggest difference is that (at least in the Tundra double-cabs) the seat-backs do not fold down, so you only have the under-seat storage.
We obviously have much less in the Tundra than we do in the Tacoma (recovery, tools, spares, etc), but here's what's currently under the rear 60:







There's plenty of room for other goodies.

 

Need to some what organize da shed one day

 

F**K that shed. Take us back to the place with the wooden walls.

 

“Butt Stuffs” every where!!
Thinking putting da wood in dair

 

Yeah the oil changes on the 2nd gen tacomas with the 4.0 are easy AF. I usually do mine. I was just looking around at some stuff on Tundras and saw that thread on the home page and I looked at it. If I get one I’ll get the tools and do it my self.



ok that under seat looks different than some other pic/videos I have seen. I have/had quite a bit of stuff in the taco. I have taken some of it out though, since I’m thinking of selling it.

 

^^
@feeschintx
