True dual conversion for 1st gen Tundra
Here's my true dual build for the 2006 AC. 2in OD straight pipe from the cats. Gave me an increase of 2.8mpg vs stock system using my OB2 reader on the Atoto A5L.

Headlight lens shapes
2006 AC doing a projector retrofit and since I'll need to take the lenses off (the clear part) I'm wondering if anyone knows if for the reg/access cab, the 2000-2004 lenses will fit over 2005-2006 housings, or vise versa. Obviously the double cabs and Sequoia have that little angle in the corners so those are different than the reg/AC shape. I can't just use a restore kit since I have cracks in the plastic, and wondering if i can just save money buying the early year assembly just for the lens and reuse my later housings.

Needed to use the hospital restroom and opened the door to find a wall.
No signs saying out of order or do not use

Source of pink crusties found and questions
What do you make of this? That small pill shape under the um... "shaft"... is that the toyota version of a bung? Meaning that for example in FWD cars, there's typically a bung, aka metal "plug" that shoots out from the water pump when the engine overheats to relieve the pressure. Or if it's just part of the pump to cycle coolant into the crankcase, why aren't the gaskets designed to go over this area? This seems to be a common area where the dried coolant builds up in these trucks. Are we sure a small ring of toyotabond around this oval isn't recommended? Could I just be overthinking and that the leak was just simply the metal gasket failing in this particular area? See the 2nd photo where the fresh stuff is still bleeding. Lastly, what's the best stuff to remove it all before putting the new pump and gasket on?

Original timing belt at 172k
Top is glossy with no cracks (yet), grooves probably shouldn't be showing fibers, but i noticed some pink crusties near the water pump so there's no turning back now! Got all the parts and halfway into teardown, also replacing fan clutch because the AC blows warm at idle. Northern CA vehicle now in AZ, the only frame rust is very minimal near the lower control arms presumably from rock chips. Lucky! Still might have another 30k in her but the peace of mind is priceless.

Ugga dugga just went on clearance
The sku changed but now there's an additional 3lbs. Is it a faster/better charger?

Is this Blazing Blue Pearl or Blue Crush Metallic?
Unsure of year, google says it's Blue Crush but the way the light hits it, I'm not sure.
