Can we all appreciate another year where Mustie1 has given us solid content, without any adverts or promotions or faked drama videos. Thanks Mustie1 and happy new year
Congrats on the brandused truck! You might consider adding a transmission cooler to it though. I think Toyota got rid of it for the 2019-2021 Tundras then brought it back.
The comment about using an ozone machine to clear the smoke smell will definitely work. If you don’t have access to one, a chemist I worked with at DuPont told me to put a slice of bread on a plate and sprinkle 20-30 drops of water on the bread. Place it in the closed-up truck for 12-24 hours and it will pull the odors out. It worked for us years ago when we bought a smoker’s truck. Glad you weren’t hurt!
I wish i'd known that sooner. I bought a smokers estate car some years back that stank, tried a few things and even Febreeze didn't work. ...next stinky car, I'm trying that thx. =)
You are not the first person I’ve heard this from and supposedly it really does work. I have never tried it, never needed to. But if I ever half to, I dang sure will.
I just knew from the title that this was going to be one of those "chain one side of the frame to a tree and gun it" kinds of scenarios. Glad it all worked out and have a great new year!
My wife has done some upholstery before and she suggested using the cover stitching as the guide for the cuts to get the edges lined up with the stitching. Also she suggested putting the cover in the dryer for a bit before assembly to soften it and ease some of the creases.
When you said you have a spray, and tested it, you got my attention for a few seconds, and when you showed the difference in the undercarriage I really though I am missing something. Very good one that Mustie. Thanks for all the videos this year. hope 2024 has much more and best of wishes.
Darren. My most sincere thanks and gratitude for all your hard work, efforts and videos to keep many entertained and inviting us all, who view to watch and learn. No matter big or small we can all learn something. Best Wishes for the New Year to you, your family and friends. Always looking forward to the next one. Been following you now for few years, part of the distant family now. Mustie 1 stay safe, and enjoy. (Ireland)
I am 5 ft 3 in on my best day, my knees have been bone on bone since before I turned 20, my hips have been grinding since before I turned 30, now at 48 on top of osteoarthritis I have RA and a whole bunch of other things. Even though my husband's truck is factory height and has running boards I can't really get in it. He bought me a fold-up single step stool. So, I step onto the stool, then onto the running board, then into the truck. He picks it up, folds it flat, and tucks it right under my legs. It's perfect! And the stools are typically right around $5 so if it gets forgotten somewhere or accidentally run over they're super cheap to replace. When I have to drive this truck I use my cane to hook the stool and pull it up to me. Just putting that out there for other fun sized peeps like myself.
The sideboards have come such a long way. Remember when they were Chromey Diamond plate and flat and ugly? These are so sleek and strong and visually pleasing. The round pipe in a matte black, I think is what ties it together. Like a painting.
Is nice that Mustie1 was able to find a newer one in great shape. Also familiar with the dealership it was bought from new. I bought both of the Tundras I had from them. The 2008 TRD one and the 2019 midnite edition one. They also serviced both of them too. 😊
Happy New Year Mustie1. New ride means more new adventures and projects. So glad you keep the inspiration for finding and fixing things. This means alot to alot of us. Thanks
Congratulations on that deal Mustie, really this time right now and trucks (it's kinda getting better) but man for that price and what you're getting here, you cannot go wrong. You definitely saved a nice chunk of change. Happy New Year to you, your wife and all your family and friends. Thanks for a great year of content and here's to 2024!
I hold onto a vehicle until it's completely dead, like there's a hole in the engine block, or the transmission goes, kind of dead. But, I'm happy for you getting a great deal on the new truck, and you did a great job on the center console cover, I like the padding that you put in rather than the floor mat you first considered. 🙂
Hey Mustie, I also have a 19 tundra (trd off road). I recently found a very sturdy phone mount that clips into the air vent, made by tackform. Might be an option for your xm if the glue doesn't hold. Also, something to note with the trd dual exhaust you do gain a few hp but lose torque, since this is your new tow rig, you might want to look into a bam muffler from dirty deeds. It's dino proven to add not only hp but torque as well, and i think it is a noticeable amount. Keith at dirty deeds was great, Just give him a call if you are considering that exhaust.
Really appreciate your blow by blow coverage of the console fabric repair. That is the type challenge that I have always found to be difficult, but satisfying when and if it works out.
Congrats on your new ride! Thank you for another interesting and informative year! Your skills, and especially your ingenuity, never cease to amaze me. Happy New Year!
Glad you have a good vehicle and even better you were not injured in the accident. thanks for the video, many best wishes for 2024 to you and the family.
I appreciate everything Mustie1 does - when i work on my own stuff at home I tend to use his line of logic of troubleshooting and the sort. Thank you so much Mustie1 for all you continue to share with us and have a very Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you and your family. White vinegar works well for removing odors, same method as the chlorine/water solution. Anyone else appreciate the irony of a VW being the car that takes out Mustie’s Toyota?
Looks like that truck could use a *Mustie1* undercoating after the repair. I always remember your technique as I've used it on multiple occasions to keep the jalopies together (and a few decent rigs also) The directions: You mix a gallon of Bar&Chain oil into a metal bucket with 2-3 wax toilet bowl rings. You then heat the bucket using a hot plate if you got one, or stick it near a Chinese diesel heater or Mr Buddy until the "sauce" is around 150-200 degrees and the wax rings are melted. You should prep the intended underbody with a wire wheel to remove loose rust and scale. Stir the mix with a paint stick once hot and apply to the underbody of a vehicle with a paintbrush. Drive down a dusty road immediately after application if possible. There is an excellent *Mustie1* video of the process if you look around in the past videos
Haven't seen that one, but I'll have to go find it now. I was hoping you were going to say it could be sprayed somehow, but old fashioned brush on sounds doable too.
@ericvaughn1126 I've put it on heavy near crevasses and holes and used an air blower tip to blast air and move it, it thins out substantially from heat...it may be able to sprayed from one of those Harbor Freight "air degreaser wands" but not sure (might be a disaster), those things are super useful as a side note.
@@ericvaughn1126If you've got the big bucks you can buy a gallon of "POR 15" rust converter paint and undercoat with that by applying 3 coats with the harbor freight "air degreaser sprayer" I mentioned, that stuff is awesome as well for slowing/stopping rust, it also looks good
@@ProlificInvention Appreciate the feedback. In related news, I'm an OH to NC transplant so I don't really have a "need" to undercoat here since there is no road salt used in the rare event that it does snow. I've got a 2002 CR-V that looks new underneath compared to any vehicles I had in OH.
Darren, always good to see how you go about things, so clever and intuitive. Glad you have another Toyota truck for that trailer of yours. Looking forward to more interesting content in the new year.
Happy new year mustie! I hope you enjoy the new truck. As always I appreciate all of the knowledge and information you have to share. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride
On that Black "Closed-Cell Foam" like yoga mats and kneeling pads are made from, we make Motorcycle Race seats out of them all the time, you can use a flapper wheel on a 4" grinder and sand and contour it like butter - if you need thicker foam, you can use contact cement and layer it, then carve with flapper wheel!
Hey Mustie what a nice vehicle , hope you have many happy miles driving it, you deserve it , for all those interesting and informative videos you have produced over the years, for which I am very grateful. . Ray H. ( England U.K. )
Hey Darrin. Beautiful truck. Too bad about the other one. Thanks for another year of great video content. I learn something new from every one. Happy new year to you and your family and I look forward to 2024s content. Cheers.
Nice truck Mustie ! I have a 2021 4Runner . Did the same thing to mine because my wife is also vertically challenged 😂. I love Toyota trucks . Well built and pretty reliable. Plus they hold their value when time to upgrade . Truck looks like it was well cared for . Enjoy it !
Happy New Year, Darren. Thanks for all your content. Hate that you lost your old truck, but agree you're in a much better position moving forward. Love the new truck and you deserve it!!
Hopefully it's engine and drive train can be used in another one. LKQ has a large facility in Massachusetts that disassembles vehicles and resells the use able parts of them. 😊
I think you did a great job cushioning the center console, it looks good Mustie1. That wreck did put a bad bend in the frame, a lot of energy to bend it up that bad. Great video Mustie1 👍👍👍👍
I enjoyed your updated new truck ! I thought the center console job was excellent ! The hard rubber base was spot on . the extra padding will be appreciated by your elbow for years . sorry that you got hit like that ! Im glad the 77 year old was not seriously injured as well as you ! Just wanted to thank you for a great year of videos and education on so many levels ! May the new year bring continued health ,happiness and blessings . A faithful subscriber ! God Bless ! Ps. I admire your respect the fact that you know what stolen valor is ! Our state representative in ct. Is well known for doing just that ! STOLEN VALOR ! God Bless ! Happy New Year Sir !
With these running boards: 1) they are best located, centered slightly behind the door center, as the step in/step out point, is rear of center. 2) be careful not to hit high curbs in parking lots and street corners, and don’t jump any curbs (ask me how I know).
BTW Happy New Year Darren. There is just something so comforting about the way you banter with the audience in your videos. I guarantee that each and every one of us feel like we are right there with you
Nice refurbish of the new to you truck, I used to smoke and your methods I'll be using come spring to fresh'n up my car. Thanks for the lessons & thanks for another year of entertaining channel content. Happy New Year 🥳🎉 to you and Mrs. Mustie1
Hey mustie, in our marine upholstery shop, we usually use a steamer to heat the fabric and then go over it with a frozen water bottle. It works wonders.
@MikeReally Mustie1 has the patience of a Saint. ThAt would have really tried my patience doing that console. Also me and plastics don't get along well. Ask me how I know. 😮😊
Love it! The sport is more "aesthetic" in it's changes vs. the "off-road". The off-road has upgraded shocks, skid plate, etc. The sport just has bigger tires and color matched bumpers, etc. I know those package do go on Limiteds as well as I have a friend with one.
Congratulations!! I own that EXACT truck. Bought it brand new and it now has 90,000 miles. No trouble at all. I adeded FireStone suspension air bags with an AirLift compressor for leveling the truck while I tow the camper, boats, jet skis, utility trailer. They are worth their weight in gold.
Hey mustie1 were you in the truck when it was hit if so glad you're ok and I hope the other person was ok and the new truck looks awesome you definitely deserve it thanks for all the awesome videos I really love them I love learning. Hope you had a great Christmas and I want to wish you a happy new year and I look forward to watching and learning from your videos in the coming year God bless
was he in the truck? No, he was standing on the shoulder until the road was clear, then he was gonna sprint back to the truck and make the turn. That was a lucky thing he did too!
Awesome that it still has knobs and buttons in a newer truck. Screens suck because you literally take your eyes off the road to find the buttons on a screen
Again you have outdone yourself. Very impressed with your attention to detail. Your videos always leave me with greater information and the need to try new things in my shop. Would like to have more information on the rust converter you used on the frame it appears to work very well. My 2000 Ford F=250 could really benefit from this spray. Thank you for all of your informative videos will be a fan until the end. Thom
Congrats on the new truck. Been repairing things my whole life and you never fail to teach me something new. Love it. Bought an 8 year old truck that several people smoked in. (The deal was too good to pass up). It was bad. Like you, I did the usual things. Others recommended stuff that didn't help. Found a product called Auto Odor Eliminator by Dead Scent. Left it in there for an entire weekend. Drove it for 10 years and the only time I got a hint of smoke was if it was really humid. Not cheap but, hopefully helps others. Sadly, it went to the big junkyard in the sky 2 years ago. 298,5xx miles. I was shooting for 300. Lol. Still ran and 4X4 still worked with a lot of repairs by me. Rust made it unsafe to drive.
I know you like your bar & chain oil concoction, but Cosmoline's RP-342 undercoating really does work well. It sprays on easy and firms up to a nice wax coating that doesn't wash off fast. Not cheap, but if you buy the bulk sizes, it's worth it.
@@Jan-pw4po Almost any lanolin-based product works very well. Brand prefrence should be more about smell and consistency. Some people want a more liquid protection that 'creeps' and spreads out on the metal, others like a hard wax crust, and most somewhere in-between where it will creep and flow a little to heal over time, but not drip or wash off.
Oh I see what you did there buddy, spray that stuff and then do a switcheroo on us! That was pretty good with that spray too. You make it different every day don't ya. Congratulations.
Happy new truck. Great exhaust note and nice work on the centre console and runner boards. Hoping you'll show some of the oil going on the underside when you get around to it. Sorry to hear about the accident, relieved that your ok.
You had me going with that rust converter joke! 😅😂😂 No, but seriously, where can I buy some? 🤷♂️🤣 Health to Mrs. Mustie1 (Mustie2?) on her knee surgery recovery! 💪👍
Sorry about the truck. Glad you are no worse for the ordeal. Oh nice Christmas present…👍 Got a buddy who dose auto detailing he said to use an O-zone generator on the inside of the truck overnight. He did my wife’s car after we stopped smoking and it worked great. Sure the cleaning process helped too!😬
when I do my Sportage, I leave the ozone machine running for 12 hours with Sportage sealed up. the next 6, I'll have the HVAC system in recirculate mode. change the cabin filter again. can still taste the funkiness the ozone machine produces but gets rid of the overall bleh
I love the way you're able to find the right product for the job. Is there any chance you could let us know what the name of the stuff you sprayed on the frame of your old truck was? The stuff that took care of the rust on the frame. I have a 2011 Silverado that needs a good coat of that stuff!
Just got a new truck myself this year. I went with amsoil metal protect. Lanolin based stuff. Works amazingly well. Drys to tac free finish and stays on for a number of years apparently.
You may want to add a brace for those running board supports that connects back to the frame. That way it supports the running board better and doesn't allow a twisting motion causing stress on the body of the cab. My buddy had his mounted like yours are and it ended up ripping holes out of the bottom of his cab. I have a set too but it is also connected to the frame and no problems at all....also sturdier in case you do high center it.
SO SO happy you are ok and not hurt.. SUPER happy for ya and your new to you truck... looks awesome .. I am saving to get a tacoma soon .. lord have mercy trucks cost way to much new .. maybe I can find a used one for a deal .. who knows .. anyway. Thanks for another year of wonderful videos.
You almost had me Mustie 1 With the frame but when you spray the dent there is no way a spray can take dents out of metel Lol. Love your Channel buddie. Don't forget to get her under coated. Happy Newyear
I dunno. I think that Musti could start selling paint on hair or something like a Pocket Fisherman like Ron Popiel. That is if he ever gets tired of making excellent content
New year new (to you) truck! Long time subscriber here, always love the content. Positive, informative, fun. Man I can relate, when you've had a vehicle for so many years, so many memories are tied to it. Your vehicle really does kind of become an old friend. I just went through sort of similar last year. My trusty '11 Ranger that I bought new in early 2012 finally failed emissions and I was quoted nearly 10K to make it right. (4.0L with the rear timing chain guide problem in addition to the bad cats).. So I decided the time had come. Got more than I thought I would for that Ranger with 164K on it and traded it on a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV with whatever they call the preferred package.. so I get heated seats, dual zone, auto dimming mirror and the better stereo. Has a bunch of features my old truck lacked and it's a much more comfortable place to be. I am super happy with it! I am glad neither you or the other driver were injured and I hope you have a long time ahead with many happy miles with your new Tundra. It's a sharp looking truck!
Happy New Year, Darren, from Australia. At the time of writing, we've had our celebrations and it's 4 AM here. Being a recovering smoker, I can sympathise with you having to put up with the stale tobacco odor. It can be offensive, although some folk don't mind because it reminds them of a happier time in their life. Perhaps a favourite grandfather or something. Anyhow, I just wanted to suggest filling a shoebox with coffee grounds and leaving it in the truck for 24hrs or so. It works in most cases. To clean the headliner, try sugar soap. My week now culminates with a Mustie1 video and O couldn't think of a better way to spend Sunday evening here. First, your presentation, then Taryl Fixes All, plus a daily fix of Rainman Ray's Repairs, plus Greg Salazar's channel for the PC geek in me. Looking forward to another year of all of that. Stay safe and keep the shiny side up.
In the 1970s, a friend and I were walking near a highway exit. A guy in a Mustang exited the highway and totally lost control and destroyed the car. He had swatted at a spider that ran across the dashboard
Congratulations on the new truck. I have a 16 sr5 and really like it for general truck stuff. Hauling and towing 4-5000 lbs. the only thing that isn’t great is the mileage. Luckily I had a 6.0 before this truck so 5.7 still does marginally better with similar power. Edit: I went with wool wax for undercoating. $250 for the first treatment, $200 for follow-ups.
Dear Mustie1. First of all: Happy new year, Sir. 2) 👍👌👏 This is a great video that I really enjoyed to watch. It's nice to see/hear you being happy. By the way: Congratulations 🎉 for getting a newer/better vehicle. Of course the most important thing is, that no human being was hurt while the accident. You did a great job cleaning, repairing and modifying/upgrading your new beefy, very strong "tow rig". I wish you to have a lot of joy with the pickup truck. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular. By the way: Hope that your wife's knee gets better soon.

Ironic that after spending so much time fixing VWs one goes and takes out your Toyota! Love the videos Mustie, wishing you all the best in 2024!
No doubt. How ironic.
It wasn't a real VW or a real Beetle, but a water cooled front engine abomination with a "VW" badge.
He got punched by a punch buggy 😮😮😂😂😂😂😂
Next video title will be: “This bug totaled my truck, can we fix it?” ;-)
big fan here what was the name of the rust remover please
Glad you weren't hurt. Nice new rig, enjoy it! Happy new year to all Mustie1 peeps.

You can use an ozone generator to get rid of most odors - especially "organic" (based on carbon). You can get rid of the old tobacco smoke that way.
You can use Ozone but... guess what dry rots tires. Just think about the rubber bits inside the cabin.
@@alangarratt7421 Good point. But I think he'll only have to do it once.

I think you did a great job cushioning the center console, it looks good Mustie1. That wreck did put a bad bend in the frame, a lot of energy to bend it up that bad. Great video Mustie1 👍👍👍👍
I enjoyed your updated new truck ! I thought the center console job was excellent ! The hard rubber base was spot on . the extra padding will be appreciated by your elbow for years . sorry that you got hit like that ! Im glad the 77 year old was not seriously injured as well as you ! Just wanted to thank you for a great year of videos and education on so many levels ! May the new year bring continued health ,happiness and blessings . A faithful subscriber ! God Bless ! Ps. I admire your respect the fact that you know what stolen valor is ! Our state representative in ct. Is well known for doing just that ! STOLEN VALOR ! God Bless ! Happy New Year Sir !
Thanks for any other year of fantastic videos,makes my Sundays ,and a happy new year to you and your family 👍👍👍👍
With these running boards: 1) they are best located, centered slightly behind the door center, as the step in/step out point, is rear of center.
2) be careful not to hit high curbs in parking lots and street corners, and don’t jump any curbs (ask me how I know).
BTW Happy New Year Darren. There is just something so comforting about the way you banter with the audience in your videos. I guarantee that each and every one of us feel like we are right there with you
that has always been the way with him, just like you are a bud hanging out.
I competely agree. The way he talks make me want to be friends with him and work in the shop. 🤣
Congratulations on the new truck!!! Certainly glad you weren't injured!!!
Nice refurbish of the new to you truck, I used to smoke and your methods I'll be using come spring to fresh'n up my car. Thanks for the lessons & thanks for another year of entertaining channel content. Happy New Year 🥳🎉 to you and Mrs. Mustie1
Was about to ask where i can get that magic spray lol. Happy new year!
Hey mustie, in our marine upholstery shop, we usually use a steamer to heat the fabric and then go over it with a frozen water bottle. It works wonders.
Thank you as always for sharing Mustie1. I always look forward to new content. May you and your family have a blessed New Year 😊
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1! Nice truck. Happy New Year to you and your Mrs.!
Happy new year to you and your family mustie you gotta watch those bugs they can be mean
Happy New Year Darren. Beautiful looking truck and his nice sound to it. As far as I am concerned, that was a total win on the console. Great job.
I agree I doubt anyone would know it was not stock.
@MikeReally Mustie1 has the patience of a Saint. ThAt would have really tried my patience doing that console. Also me and plastics don't get along well. Ask me how I know. 😮😊
VERY happy new year to you and thanks for making Sunday mornings great!
nice rig Darren, thanks for taking the time to video for us, happy new year
Love it! The sport is more "aesthetic" in it's changes vs. the "off-road". The off-road has upgraded shocks, skid plate, etc. The sport just has bigger tires and color matched bumpers, etc. I know those package do go on Limiteds as well as I have a friend with one.
Congratulations!! I own that EXACT truck. Bought it brand new and it now has 90,000 miles. No trouble at all. I adeded FireStone suspension air bags with an AirLift compressor for leveling the truck while I tow the camper, boats, jet skis, utility trailer. They are worth their weight in gold.
I've got a 2012 with 210k on it, havn't seen the check engine light yet lol
HAPPY NEW YEAR. I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS!
Brilliant video Mustie - the new truck’s a looker.
Happy new year to you and your family Sir.
Hey mustie1 were you in the truck when it was hit if so glad you're ok and I hope the other person was ok and the new truck looks awesome you definitely deserve it thanks for all the awesome videos I really love them I love learning. Hope you had a great Christmas and I want to wish you a happy new year and I look forward to watching and learning from your videos in the coming year God bless
was he in the truck? No, he was standing on the shoulder until the road was clear, then he was gonna sprint back to the truck and make the turn. That was a lucky thing he did too!
Awesome that it still has knobs and buttons in a newer truck. Screens suck because you literally take your eyes off the road to find the buttons on a screen
Again you have outdone yourself. Very impressed with your attention to detail. Your videos always leave me with greater information and the need to try new things in my shop. Would like to have more information on the rust converter you used on the frame it appears to work very well. My 2000 Ford F=250 could really benefit from this spray. Thank you for all of your informative videos will be a fan until the end.

Congrats on the new truck. Been repairing things my whole life and you never fail to teach me something new. Love it.
Bought an 8 year old truck that several people smoked in. (The deal was too good to pass up). It was bad. Like you, I did the usual things. Others recommended stuff that didn't help. Found a product called Auto Odor Eliminator by Dead Scent. Left it in there for an entire weekend. Drove it for 10 years and the only time I got a hint of smoke was if it was really humid. Not cheap but, hopefully helps others. Sadly, it went to the big junkyard in the sky 2 years ago. 298,5xx miles. I was shooting for 300. Lol. Still ran and 4X4 still worked with a lot of repairs by me. Rust made it unsafe to drive.
I know you like your bar & chain oil concoction, but Cosmoline's RP-342 undercoating really does work well. It sprays on easy and firms up to a nice wax coating that doesn't wash off fast. Not cheap, but if you buy the bulk sizes, it's worth it.
Woolwax is also supposed to be good
@@Jan-pw4po Almost any lanolin-based product works very well. Brand prefrence should be more about smell and consistency. Some people want a more liquid protection that 'creeps' and spreads out on the metal, others like a hard wax crust, and most somewhere in-between where it will creep and flow a little to heal over time, but not drip or wash off.
Luckily my front wheels are balanced good no longer shakes at 60 70 80 mph
Oh I see what you did there buddy, spray that stuff and then do a switcheroo on us! That was pretty good with that spray too. You make it different every day don't ya. Congratulations.
Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to your 2024 content. Thanks for sharing!
Happy new truck. Great exhaust note and nice work on the centre console and runner boards. Hoping you'll show some of the oil going on the underside when you get around to it.
Sorry to hear about the accident, relieved that your ok.
That rubber bed mat should be called a "rust promoter" the floor of the bed never dries out.
You had me going with that rust converter joke! 😅😂😂 No, but seriously, where can I buy some? 🤷♂️🤣
Health to Mrs. Mustie1 (Mustie2?) on her knee surgery recovery! 💪👍
Health to enjoy the new truck Mustie! Happy New Year and sincere thanks for sharing these videos.
Great purchase mustie ,great looking truck ,and a fantastic video ,and a happy new year 👍👍
Those rocker mounted boards tend to collect dirt and salt leading to rotting rocker panels.
I like the ones I put on my old Dodge. They bolt where the body mounts to the frame. Much more sturdy.
Sorry about the truck. Glad you are no worse for the ordeal. Oh nice Christmas present…👍
Got a buddy who dose auto detailing he said to use an O-zone generator on the inside of the truck overnight. He did my wife’s car after we stopped smoking and it worked great. Sure the cleaning process helped too!😬
when I do my Sportage, I leave the ozone machine running for 12 hours with Sportage sealed up. the next 6, I'll have the HVAC system in recirculate mode. change the cabin filter again. can still taste the funkiness the ozone machine produces but gets rid of the overall bleh
When you reach a certain age, the padding really matters!!!
Nice work and I’m glad you didn’t get hurt.
Happy New Years, nice Tundra, probably a smart move to let the other 1 go. Glad you didn't get injured, looking forward to seeing your videos in 2024
I love the way you're able to find the right product for the job. Is there any chance you could let us know what the name of the stuff you sprayed on the frame of your old truck was? The stuff that took care of the rust on the frame. I have a 2011 Silverado that needs a good coat of that stuff!
I am curious about this also!
I believe that was a shot of the old frame and then a shot of the new frame. Would be nice if such a product existed!
Just got a new truck myself this year. I went with amsoil metal protect. Lanolin based stuff. Works amazingly well. Drys to tac free finish and stays on for a number of years apparently.
Worked at a autobody center for about 10 months and that is what we used for rustproofing vehicles
Dies a good job but can get a bit messy 😊
Sad to see old blue go but glad it kept you safe! Congrats on the upgrade and I hope you had a great new year!
Congrats with the new to you Tundra. Happy new year!
You may want to add a brace for those running board supports that connects back to the frame. That way it supports the running board better and doesn't allow a twisting motion causing stress on the body of the cab. My buddy had his mounted like yours are and it ended up ripping holes out of the bottom of his cab. I have a set too but it is also connected to the frame and no problems at all....also sturdier in case you do high center it.
It's a STEP not rock sliders. Plenty strong the way it is for a step.
Happy New Year to everyone! 🎆🎉🎊✨
Nice truck, thanks for taking the time to share 👍
Beautiful truck! You made a fantastic deal. Good for you. You deserve a treat for your work. Congratulations!
As mentioned before a ozone generator will kill any odors in your new truck. As a bonus it will kill any bugs as well, and rodents hate the smell.
Nice addition to the family I would have been very tempted to buy the old one back and use it in the winter and parked the new one in the winter
He's still got his gray '97 dual cab beater, I'm pretty sure.
SO SO happy you are ok and not hurt.. SUPER happy for ya and your new to you truck... looks awesome .. I am saving to get a tacoma soon .. lord have mercy trucks cost way to much new .. maybe I can find a used one for a deal .. who knows .. anyway.
Thanks for another year of wonderful videos.
Congrats on a new truck for a new year. Love the content. Happy 2024 to come
You almost had me Mustie 1 With the frame but when you spray the dent there is no way a spray can take dents out of metel Lol. Love your Channel buddie. Don't forget to get her under coated. Happy Newyear
Fluid film.
He DID have me. I didn't have my coffee yet and I was like "Damn, I gotta get me some of that". ☺
I dunno. I think that Musti could start selling paint on hair or something like a Pocket Fisherman like Ron Popiel. That is if he ever gets tired of making excellent content
That bug must have been "flying" 😉
L o L
Happy new years thanks for all the good videos and congratulations on the new truck
New year new (to you) truck!
Long time subscriber here, always love the content. Positive, informative, fun.
Man I can relate, when you've had a vehicle for so many years, so many memories are tied to it. Your vehicle really does kind of become an old friend.
I just went through sort of similar last year. My trusty '11 Ranger that I bought new in early 2012 finally failed emissions and I was quoted nearly 10K to make it right. (4.0L with the rear timing chain guide problem in addition to the bad cats)..
So I decided the time had come. Got more than I thought I would for that Ranger with 164K on it and traded it on a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV with whatever they call the preferred package.. so I get heated seats, dual zone, auto dimming mirror and the better stereo. Has a bunch of features my old truck lacked and it's a much more comfortable place to be. I am super happy with it!
I am glad neither you or the other driver were injured and I hope you have a long time ahead with many happy miles with your new Tundra. It's a sharp looking truck!
Happy New Year, Darren, from Australia. At the time of writing, we've had our celebrations and it's 4 AM here. Being a recovering smoker, I can sympathise with you having to put up with the stale tobacco odor. It can be offensive, although some folk don't mind because it reminds them of a happier time in their life. Perhaps a favourite grandfather or something. Anyhow, I just wanted to suggest filling a shoebox with coffee grounds and leaving it in the truck for 24hrs or so. It works in most cases. To clean the headliner, try sugar soap. My week now culminates with a Mustie1 video and O couldn't think of a better way to spend Sunday evening here. First, your presentation, then Taryl Fixes All, plus a daily fix of Rainman Ray's Repairs, plus Greg Salazar's channel for the PC geek in me. Looking forward to another year of all of that. Stay safe and keep the shiny side up.
Happy new year 😊😊😊😊
Health & happiness to you & your family Darren. Hope your mum & dad are doing well also ❤
In the 1970s, a friend and I were walking near a highway exit. A guy in a Mustang exited the highway and totally lost control and destroyed the car. He had swatted at a spider that ran across the dashboard
☃️☃️☃️ Happy New Year's Mustie and Everyone 🎄🎄🎄
Same to you my friend .
Congratulations on the new truck. I have a 16 sr5 and really like it for general truck stuff. Hauling and towing 4-5000 lbs. the only thing that isn’t great is the mileage. Luckily I had a 6.0 before this truck so 5.7 still does marginally better with similar power.
Edit: I went with wool wax for undercoating. $250 for the first treatment, $200 for follow-ups.
good on the woolwax - I spray mine with PB Surface Shield at home, my Tacoma recal frame still looks great other than being greasy lol.
You had me going on the undercoating for a min or two truck looks good.Happy New yr !
Dear Mustie1.
First of all: Happy new year, Sir. 2) 👍👌👏 This is a great video that I really enjoyed to watch. It's nice to see/hear you being happy. By the way: Congratulations 🎉 for getting a newer/better vehicle. Of course the most important thing is, that no human being was hurt while the accident. You did a great job cleaning, repairing and modifying/upgrading your new beefy, very strong "tow rig". I wish you to have a lot of joy with the pickup truck. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular. By the way: Hope that your wife's knee gets better soon.
