What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Tnx brother, glad u notice. That's the exact way I've approached my build. Keep it a Tundra and the way it's supposed to look, just make it more badass. Unfortunately for me, there's definitely been a good amount of money to get it there. I would realize I have a bad problem if I ever walked around and actually added everything up.

Appreciate the info. Yeah my rear brakes are there. I tend to have a heavy foot and live up some mountains and hills. I kind of figured since I'll be rotating in another 5k I'll do the brakes then because they'll probably need it.
I've heard so many different things on diff fluids and such. But I feel same as you, I rather do it early and take care of the mistress. I think 60k is gonna be the miles I give her a bit more love than the usual and air on the side of caution.

 

We all spend more money that we'd like to admit. As long as it doesn't lead to divorce or eviction; Phuk it...

I'm going to do my diffs and transfer at 30K and then maybe at 60k intervals. I did my Ford at 30k and the rear diff had some shiny metal flakes in it. Nothing major, but gave me the "break in fluid" hives. Like another person posted, you can go longer w/o issue. It's all about what you can tolerate. I did a ton of oil analysis on my Ford that PROVED I could go 10,000 miles on the oil and still couldn't do more than about 7,500 miles. To each their own.

 

Boy looks like a really bad area you live in. Lots of murders!

 

Nice. I did the same except different brand. I realized it might have been a better idea to mount the fridge on the passenger side to even out the weight distribution. I still have .5" driver side lean with a shim.

 

I was thinking of passenger side but had already run the 12v wiring and socket to the drivers side. It's only a CFX28 so i'm not terribly worried about the weight.

 

I do both diffs and transfer case every 30K. It is cheap easy maintenance.
I just passed 60k and did front, rear diffs, transfer case, and transmission.
Brake pads as needed.

 

Washed it



edit ...sorry iPhone pic

 

It is a ProComp 7 inch coilover lift. It is awesome and I've been really happy with it, but if you go this route with your lift you definitely need steps. I went with the amp steps

 

Got up early this morning and installed my TRD front sway bar, IT LOOKS AWESOME!!! Took it on a test drive couldn't feel any real difference but I only drove about a mile, but I am really happy with the results so far. The install only took about an hour. Seriously freaking love my truck!!!

 

Third brake light replacement. Lesson learned: don't ever put the sticky side of the foam gasket to the truck. A little goo gone and elbow grease with some light pocket knife work took care of it right before the rain came.

 

Are skid plates next For your build ? Looks awesome Sir

 

Got these in the mail today,



ABS Guard kit

 

Swapped out the Toyota symbol for TRD

 

Huge fan of the bad ass truck you have. Super sick rig man.

Here is what you big lift guys do when you post pictures of your rigs.

Might weasel a lift when I get new suspension (wifey is ok with new suspension). Might pull the I think I ordered the wrong one, swore I told the shop right. oh darn look how badass my truck is now it's a plan right.

 

Got around to cleaning the outside

 

What color Red paint did you use

 

scosche phone mount $12. (I really don't get the necessity to spend $50 or even $100 for a phone mount... this works great and its super solid and is not going to move.......)

Also did LED puddle lights and LED license plate lights. As I type this few more mods coming in..... can't wait!

 

Can I ask where you found these raised stickers? They are $13 ea to replace the entire center cap via sparks. Also, how did you get the Toyota emblem off? My guess would be A heatgun and fishing line?

 

super easy and $12 total.

Did my first oil change. Forgot to bring my fumuto valve with me. But also discovered this oil filter wrench and it's by far the best I've ever used

 

Bought a set of used TRD Off Road wheels from Facebook Marketplace for $200.00. Going to get them powder-coated black.

 

Installed a TRD sway bar on the bat truck.

 

Looks great also looks very similar to my set up

 

Thank you I've been real happy with the build so far. I don't think so because of my lift the rake on the skidplate would be to much. Also it's kind of a road queen, I use it too pull my toy hauler or my jeep. I'm thinking of upgrading the gears next.

 

How long did the install take?

 

Nice truck!

I thought an alignment was required after front sway bar install?

 

Dupli color match super red 2

 

Cant get it into shop until Wednesday, but on my list brother

 

Why on Gods earth would you need an alignment for just adding a sway bar?..Really?
