What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Ah, yes...VVivid. I've seen/heard good things about their stuff. I may have to give them a try.

 

I cut my tailpipe at the same place. Looks sooo much cleaner.

 

Yep and it won't get caught on anything when off-roading.

 

Can you please explain the reasoning for the bypass?

 

I added these as well. It’s one of those subtle mods that makes a great visual difference.

 

What part of Texas you from?

 

No mods today but I did do this.
Not the low fuel, but hit 10,000 miles

 

The panhandle. Lubbock and Childress TX. You?

We are currently in Denton for a family emergency

 

Originally from the RGV, Houston now, sorry about your family emergency, hope all is well

 

Greenville, TX here!

 

Love that area. We lived in Princeton for a bit!

 

@Paulskie , I did some research on this since I was curious as well. Apparently coolant is run through the throttle body, not to keep the TB cool, but actually to warm it up in cold environments. If it is below freezing, condensation inside the TB can potentially freeze and cause the flap to not move, so the coolant warms up the TB so this does not happen. The problem is that the coolant constantly runs through the TB, always pushing hot air into the intake. If you live in a warm environment with the temps rarely or ever going below freezing, doing this bypass will run cooler air through the TB, POSSIBLY (though probably only slightly) increasing power, and supporting a "cold air intake" system. Power gains are completely anecdotal based on my searches; I haven't found any temp readings before or after the bypass. There are however pics of people not being able to put their hands on the throttle body before the bypass because it gets so hot with the coolant running through it, but after the bypass, they are able to put their hands on it. Here's a good thread:

That wrap looks great!

I installed this shifter knob, which works really well with your carbon fiber look. It feels like a high quality knob (much, much better than the stock shifter) The feel is identical to the very high quality shift on my Land Cruiser, which I think feels way better than the TRD Pro knob. When I saw the price I was skeptical. If you're considering it, don't let the low price discourage you, it really is great quality.

Looks great, I was planning on doing this when it warms up like in April.

 

Thanks! I waited till it warmed up too. Just kidding, SoCal here.

 

Man, I tried working with vinyl on my grille. You sure have patience. That stuff drove me nuts.

It's a warm 24° here right now.

 

Will be my first time with it so we will see how it goes wish me luck

 

Installed my leather steering wheel, and black Switch Assembly! chrome delete begins in the interior.

 

Damn! High 60’s here all week. And I’m in the colder area of SoCal. I’m spoiled, can’t dig the cold.

 

I hate the cold! Hopefully 2 more years and I'm going south.

 

Damn that wheel looks classy!!

 

Nice.
