What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

That's a rarity!

 

I know exactly how you feel Sean, it is not easy.
Hopefully she picked a keeper.

 

Thanks Jim. I think I’ve done all I can do showing her how a man is supposed to treat a woman. I’ve instilled my values in her and she’s going to have to take it from there. I’ll just be here to back her up and offer my encouragement.

 

Looks really good! Re-Upholstered or just new seats?

 

Just did a quick spray wax (it was already clean) and wiped down the inside. Love the Turtle Wax ICE spray wax, it's cheap and really makes it shine. Just got two bottles from Amazon, think they were like four bucks each.

 

Hey thanks! And Katskins cardinal red re upholstered. Ordered a few more yards of the color as well so I can have center console and door panels done to match

 

Thanks! The seller already sent me a copy and everything looks pretty straightforward. The guy that assembled them also gave me some pointers. I’m hoping the install goes smooth and I didn’t bite off more than I can chew - I’ll definitely be posting back on here if shit goes sideways.

 

So how does that work, do they just have shops across the country that contract to do the work?

What kind of cost are we talking?

 

You’ll definitely need some large sockets, the biggest breaker bar you can find and a torque wrench that goes over 220. Mark your LCA cam adjustment tabs. That way when you put it back together it will be close enough so you could drive to an alignment shop. When you loosen them make sure you loosen the nuts and not the bolt. Also when you disconnect the swaybar end links, disconnect both sides and don’t reconnect until both CO’s are done. Make sure you’ve got jackstands that will hold the truck up high enough. Then I used my jack to support the LCA as I loosened everything up.
It’s really not that bad of a job. Just a little time-consuming especially if it’s your first time. The second side will go faster.

Since you’re going from Stock to lifted there are a few extra steps that you wouldn’t have to do if you’re just swapping a CO like for like. Some people will skip the loosening of the LCA cam adjusters and just use a 2 x 4 to pry down on the LCA. Which is fine but if you’re lifting the truck it will put the LCA in a bind when you put it back together. If I ever have to replace mine with another set exactly the same height I wouldn’t need to loosen the LCA adjusters. Hope that makes sense. Good luck. Post up when you’re done!

 

Nice.

 

Right across the river in Merritt Island.

 

Lots of good places to ride in Cocoa.

 

What rim and tire setup you got? Looks sweet!1

 

Thanks man. SCS Ray 10’s in dark matte bronze and 295/70r18 Nitto ridge grapplers.

 

I added some custom pin stripes today

 

Upgraded my rear taillight reverse LED bulb from GTR to SuperB. The one on the right is GTR and the left is SuperB. Big difference

Ordered.....

 

Got custom made emblems.

 

Damn that was quick you don’t waste time bro.... lol. Your gonna love these, my son said at night “those things are like HEADLIGHTS in the back, they light up my rear when reversing.”

 

Your a bad influence hahaha.... honestly for that price it's a no brainer. Good find and appreciate the info

 

If you use the katskins website they contract and sent the covers to an installer in your area. But I ordered off Ebay then brought it to the shop of my choice. I saved around 800 that way. Total was close to 800 for material 400 install
While the website told me average cost was going to be close to 2k
As for the armrest/doorpanels my installer just ordered fabric from katskinz and will do himself

 

Well not today, but about three weeks ago, I added this light bar, and tinted my rear windows.

 

Beautiful truck, those wheels are BA!!
