Feb 13 2021

Installed new front pads (Akebono ASP976) & rotors (Centric 320.44118). Used new pins and retaining clips from the thrown-in Centric brake pads. Installed new rear drums and shoes (Centric CE KIT126D). Internals looked good so didn't install any new springs or wheel cylinders. Flushed brake fluid with new ATE TYP200 fluid. Fluid looked good. For reference, front speed bleeders take an 8mm and rears a 7/16". Used Permatex LO-20353 synthetic lubricant throughout. Used Permatex Disc Brake Quiet on front pad backing. Replaced engine air filter with Denso (NP 143-3045). Installed new headlight housings. Pretty much all parts from Rock Auto.

A/C service done at Arizona Auto Refrigeration. They added 0.38lbs and oil and dye and found no issues or leaks. But I think the system must be overfull as I can hear the compressor cycling on and off.

Major service! Replaced timing belt (Mitsuboshi), water pump & water pump gasket (Aisin), timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys (Koyo), hydraulic tensioner (NTN), serpentine/drive belt (Bando), lower and upper radiator hoses (Gates), thermostat & thermostat gasket (Tama), coolant (Toyota OEM "Pink" 50/50 pre-mix, ~3gal). Parts came from an "OEM" kit on eBay by jdmpartsman714 ($389) and Precision Toyota for the correct coolant ($65). Original timing belt looked to be in great shape at ~85k miles, but water pump had a small leak at the fan pulley. Tried my best to clean up the head/block and timing covers that were affected. Radiator also looked great inside. Pulleys and tensioner seemed fine as well, but "while we're in there" decided to replace... Same with thermostat. Used Toyota FIPK gasket sealant to create the gasket at the water inlet -> water pump, it seems to be fine so far. If we ever have to do that again, we should buy a tool to hold the crank pulley in place so it can be tightened appropriately with a torque wrench. My attempts at a home made tool were mostly unsuccessful. But the bolt is indeed tightened to spec... Added a bit of exhaust thermal tape around the oil filter cooler pipe and the camshaft position sensor wiring that runs behind it as I was worried about the hot pipe melting the wiring. I'd like to look at other Tundras to verify routing of this wire. Also did an oil change (Mobil 1 5w30, almost 7qts) and oil filter (Fram Ultra synthetic). I'm guessing the crankcase contained conventional oil so we will have to monitor oil use as we transition to synthetic. Materials came from Wal-Mart (2x5qts + 1qt for ~$58, filter for $9) Replaced wipers with Bosch Icon 19A (driver's side) and 19B (passenger side). Ordered from Amazon for ~$30. Put a 14mm box wrench and the old serpentine belt in the jack/tools area in the passenger cabin so we can replace the belt on the road if we had to. The 14mm fits the drive belt tensioner, allowing the belt to be affixed.
