What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Installed +3 CB Shackles and 3x 0.50” Shims (2 Driver & 1 Passenger) side. Getting new tires sometime next week. 285/70/18 Nitto Exo Grappler AWT.

 

Went for a drive in the mountains to show the kids how to wheel in deep snow in style. Active traction control is the only way to go. Made it up to 12,000 feet and found some deep snow drifts to push through above tree line. Perfect day!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Installed my 18+ LED headlights today and wow they are a HUGE improvement! Definitely recommended to anyone who's on the fence about them. Far more light output and a nice color temperature. Also over the past couple weekends installed the rear TRD anti-sway bar, did the GY6.35 HIR reverse light upgrade from TacoWorld (stock bulb on right side for comparison) and all white LED interior lights.

 

More information on this reverse light upgrade, please.

 

Added a Leer topper!

 

Put a grab handle on my center console organizer. Maybe unnecessary for most, but it makes getting underneath much easier, especially if you have a little weight in the tray.

 

re-installed bumpershellz when I did the BD SAE amber fogs. also put on a new foglight cowl to replace the one I fouled up when trying to install fogs w/o removing shellz. And a new RH parking sensor from when I broke that when I first installed the shellz

then some TVD heritage decals for the grille and the center console usb charger. Which led me to realizing how absolutely shit the interior lights are. Now I can't stop think about spending honestly idiotic amounts of money replacing all interior and rear exterior bulbs with LEDs

 

Installed a $20 LED kit for all interior/license plate/cargo area lights, man what a difference...first 3 pics are comparison pics, you’ll obviously see the difference...lol...rest of pics are all after install was completed, totally changes the lighting of truck, well worth the $!...pics don’t do it justice, way better in person

 

Can you please share the kit - where and part number - that you bought?

 

Yea no problem!...got it off Amazon with Prime shipping, here’s the link

It’ll say it doesn’t fit 2020’s but they just haven’t updated details yet, fit my 2020 Platinum perfectly

 

Black emblems.

 

Got bored waiting on FedEx. Start to plastipdip last piece of chrome. Dealer emblem, longhorns in badge so I dudnt take it off. Come in to let it dry, girlfriend opens door and it xmas. A new exhaust on the porch. Compressor is full of air, time to get this party started.

 

Got my sliders welded on yesterday, and today got my rci skid mounted up and cut the westin skid to fit

 

crashnburn80 on Tacoma World has a nice write up on it. The bulbs require some tweaking to sit securely in our plugs as they aren't made for the sockets and I broke the first one but they're cheap so it really wasn't a big deal to get an extra. The extra light out put is significant especially to the side which is extremely helpful for seeing the area around the bumper corners. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/gy6-35-hir-921-reverse-light-upgrade-vs-high-power-leds.474996/

That's the same kit I just installed as well, another huge improvement that was cheap and easy!

 

Jusr took truck out. 8 inch Dirty Deeds sounds sweet. Exactly the sound I was looking for. Nice deep rumble. Brick wall outside subdivision so you can here exhaust reverberate off the wall. Neighbors gonna hate i, lol.

 

Got my Peddle Commander in today. I will run it a few days and let everyone know my thoughts. I can say the sports + mode and set at 4 is a bit jumpy. lol

 

That's cool but seriously how often you do have to adjust your mirrors? I adjust mine maybe once a year if that..

 

I use my power fold button all the time. Pretty much every time I park in a lot and also pulling in my garage. #platinumlife

 

Ah that makes sense. I guess my sr5 doesn't have that so I don't ever touch it

 

Have you checked out the power fold retrofit kit thread? I'm excited to see how that turns out. https://www.tundras.com/threads/3rd-gen-tundra-power-folding-mirrors-coming-soon.56537/#post-1477491
#sr5livesmatter

 

The power fold isnt tied into a switched ignition source to fold and unfold with the key from Toyota?

 

Exactly...that’s why I installed my LED above that area, I always use the “power folding option” on my mirrors just to be safe, don’t trust people to not hit them...haha...#platinumproblems

 

Nope which sucks. And it's a huge project to rewire it to do that

 

Put my Coverkings on, have to say they are nice for $118.00 bucks!

 

Do you have a link to where you got them?

 

It was thru https://www.autoanything.com/ when they had their 30% off + free shipping sale on Coverkings. Not sure if it's still on, but I am sure there are a ton of deals going on everywhere.

 

I'll check it out. Thanks!

 

Send Mike, @eccracer104 a PM that's where he works and and get you a deal.
