What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Got heavy full size spare on to truck bed!

Never underestimate the way a woman gets things done!!! Here’s to you Tony!! @fisherman951

 

Nice!

 

You’re one very smart woman!!!

 

Either that or you get no spare!!!

 

Lol i woulda just taken one off your truck tomorrow and u can call AAA

 

Installed bedslide. Added pop and lock to topper. And my cool new decals

 

Like it

 

tailgate letters, K&N air filter, dechromed 4/6 emblems (ebay) and 17" AntennaMastsRus.

grille, mirror caps, door handles, dual exhaust and ARE overland cap over the next month or so. along with an xpel wrap. still deciding on if i want to color match bumper caps or just black em out to match the valance.

ALSO noticed the serious orange peel along the lower portion of the door panels. sucks that's where we're at with paint finish quality on new cars these days.

 

Thank you sir!

 

Someone mashed into the truck in a parking lot and left. Luckily the lot has cameras. Gottem

 

Oh I bet you woulda!!

 

What size are those ?

 

And if u were a man you could've just picked it up and threw it on up there lol. Gotcha. All kidding aside good job thinking out the box. After throwing mine up there I can attest it's no easy task. Rolling probably wasnt even all that easy, so I feel ur pain. Give u props though.

 

CAI and TRD pro shifter installed. CAI hasn’t made much of a difference but I’m getting like 3mpg gain with shifter. Thanks Butte!

 

35” tires 20” wheels

 

I could not even get a grip inside the wheels good enough to lift off the floor. I tried putting it on the end of the ladder, it was even heavier. That was a folding ladder my dad gave me, I just extended all the way so the angle isn’t so steep and the rungs helped hold the tire as I rolled it up.

*whew*

 

About that lol.
It’s reinforced. Has the auto lock. LED dome lights . Thule roof rack rails . And cargo netting on the ceiling. Removable front sliding windows too.

 

LMAO. Well the saying is...If you're going to do something....

 

I can vouch for how heavy those wheels and tires are!

I see you got some goodies for your DECK! Nice!

 

Yup! So much room! Got the tie down rack but i have to do some drilling so that's on the list this weekend!

 

Drilling into the DECK? Eeeekkkk! Lol

 

I know! I just need to have a half inch stop on the bit so i don't drill thru and ill be fine! Wanna help?

 

I hear ya. Thats why I said even doing it your way, which was much smarter, probably was no easy task either. Here comes my sexist remark, especially for a female.

I remember how hard it was to get my old 295/70r18 4 rims and tires, plus the new spare 35x12.5 on 17 up there. I want to say the tire alone is 84 lbs lol.

Unfortunately I not only didn't have a ladder or ramp at the shop I picked them up at, but I also had to get 3 of them up there a bit even higher onto my bed cover. 2 fit on the bedslide in my bed, but the other 3 had to go onto my cover. Those 3 onto the cover after putting the 2 on the bed slide kicked my ass. That's coming from a guy who's always lifting heavy shit stupid shit. My day to day is working with big ass, heavy, loud, equipment and tools for a living.

Looking back at it, if I had your option, I'm not going to lie, I probably wouldn't have been too proud to use it. Since I turned 40 I'm all about working smarter not harder.

I commend you, regardless of how it went, just for getting that up there. I noticed u had to go a little higher too onto the decked storage.

 

I can help. I got all the tools needed. I think if you can bolt down a rail that runs across the bed and drill at the ends it.. I've seen the ones where you can mount to your rails too

 

Thanks Mike! When i was younger i always had to do things around the house, put together a tv stand, small shelf, a garage cabinet...took me a while to grow out of the feeling getting picked on by a parent, but those tasks make me be self-sufficient. Of course delegating chores to a guy or bf helps, but so satisfying to get it done myself, just got to figure it out fIrst and then ask for help if its over my pay grade
I am turning 50 this year! Lots of things harder to do on my body but im not in a wheelchair and am healthy so i can do a lot of things! You are still young! Your best years are ahead of you!

 

I got by bed rails from a member, i need to find better screws cuz parts of the rail are not tight to the bed. I have my KB Voodoo rack on its way and it attaches on the rails so need that solid. Just need to pull of one screw and go to ace hardware, just not enough time to do all this! Then we have the trail run in the morning!! Sooooo excited!!

 

You can get self tapping screws and add a little more “umph” to the rails. I did that with mine.

 

Ahhh....i will pull one off your rails when you're not looking!

 

Hahaha. I’ll try and remember to bring you some.. I’ll bring my tools and help you hook it up too.
