What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I went with 295/70/18 Toyo MT and 3" toytec kit and like @16tunterd said I gained another inch from my tires so about 4" total and have no rubbing at all the height of my truck is now at about 6'11 almost 7feet I would have like the 6"inch lift but them would have payed almost double just to get 2 more inches wasn't worth the $ imo

 

That's makes sense, but which 3" Toytec lift? There are about 10 different setups under the "Complete lift kit" on Toytec's site. You have a link to what you bought? Did you install it yourself?

This is the one I got. With the extended rear shocks and rear shackles instead of blocks.

 

Wes, start a new thread dammit!

 

BOSS kit is the way to go for sure. Shackles are ideal in the rear but ride quality will be similar with the blocks.

34.5" tires shouldn't rub much depending on wheel offset.

I'm a fan of just Doug UCAs at the same time as the lift so you aren't aligning it twice. Just my $.02

 

does anybody else have the bakflip MX4 if so have you had any issues that I should look out for?

 

I this is what you are looking for:

Toytec Boss
650lb coils
Regular Extended Rear Shocks
Rear Shackles
SPC UCA's

295/70R18 has been said to fit without the Cab Mount Chop using a low enough offset, I believe +25 or less - correct me if I am wrong.

Honestly I would just get the Cab Mount Chop anyway.

Buy it and price out installation with some offroad shops and dealers. Shop around and read reviews and find the best price/perceived reputation and enjoy.

 

And Wes, once you decide on your lift, don't go ordering it right away. Try calling around and find an installer first. They get a discount on the lift kits so it'll probably be cheaper to have them order and install than you ordering and paying them separately to install.

 

Finally got around to installing the rear led duallys in the bumper:



Thought this was kind of an appropriate switch considering how bright they are lol:

 

Got my first Tundra in October 2016, totally hooked. TRD pro grille, Cali raised ditch brackets with Rigid D2 midnight edition lights, Method standards 17x8.5, 0 offset, Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/70/17, Stock height.

 

Dan,
Nice truck!
Where did you get your hood?
If you don't mind, how much did it cost?

 

Mine leaked on wheel wells, tail gates, corners and middle of the bed.

 

I'm pretty happy with my eight 5/16" holes in my roof..

 

Sprayed a set of mirror caps with some paint from automotivetouchup.com.

 

I'm in Morris County so just a lot of rain and heavy wind. Another day of this shit. I want to put my parts on.

 

Came out great! That can't be from a rattle can, right?

 

How hard was it to remove the mirror caps.

 

Its pretty easy, just a few tabs that hold it down and pops right off

 

It does pop right off, just be very careful putting it back on. You have to start with the outside first and work your way towards the truck. If you don't you'll most likely bust some tabs off.

 

How'd you spray those? Right out of a can or a sprayer?

They look awesome, BTW.

 

Thanks brotha. The hood is stock. But I've been heavily weighing modding this one. Nothing too extreme, just mounted LED's that are fitted with a switch that will come on once opened up.

 

Installation was a breeze!! Took more time unpacking the controller then to install it.

 

Installed my OCD in console to go with the Salex organizer. Took possession of my new BRM platinum grille and surround.

 

Sprayed out of the can. I picked up a set of black textured on eBay for 27 bucks and came out suprisingly well. Perfect match. The mirror caps came out better than the emblem IMO.

 

Nice job! Well done....

 

Tinted the third brake light, got the 'droopy' passenger side TRD exhaust raised to match the drivers side (now both perfectly aligned), took the wheels off and checked the lug nut torque on the Spidertrax (after 92 miles; all good), new foam canon bath with CG Snow Foam Honeydew, dry and polish with top grade chamois....another busy day at base camp!.....got up to 72 today.......luvin it.

 

Just ordered the TUNDRA 'Raptor style' letters from BAMF to complete the T-Tex grille....WOWEE!

Completed the Big 3 upgrade for electrical system

 

Electrical upgrade. I have experienced the increase voltage, starter performance, voltage consistency and no light dim. I powered everything in the truck and blast my 2000 watt audio system. I will not try to sound smart so here you go.
