What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Finally, used it as a truck..

Mulch on sale..

And a trip to the dump..

Afterwards, a lunch of barbecue and craft beer of course..

 

You sure do drive fast.

 

When I had one of those I adjusted the rails just right and I kept the rubber lubed so it can slide easily when closing and opening the tailgate.

 

It’s currently in the shop. Sent it in yesterday so they can use the camera. Didn’t wanna start it up. They said I should get it back today. We’ll see.

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with ya Levi!!

 

Positives: 1. Ordered new Undercover ArmorFlex cover to replace my disappointing Peragon cover (Peragon has 100 day return policy).
2. Received the driver's side grab handle - going snapper fishing tomorrow so I don't know when I'll get to install it.
3. Ordered the CarLinkit Wireless CarPlay dongle.
4. Drooled over the CrewMax Long Box Under Seat Storage from esptruck.com.

Negative: With <2500 miles, I ALREADY have my first rock peck!!!!!!!

 

Threw away my money into a different set of wheels that came in today! When Black Rhino released the GRANGE recently I fell in love with it more than the Arsenal's I've had. They are the same 18" and 12 offset but only 9" wide. I removed the fake bolts in some of the holes which cleans up the look to me, but they go back in if I ever change my mind I guess. The Arsenals will be going up for sale in a couple weeks or so.

 

Just finished installing new door speakers, 5 channel amp, and 12” sub. Really happy with the outcome. The door speakers sound great and the bass hits hard but isn’t over the top. I’ve only had the truck for a couple of weeks, but I couldn’t stand the stock sound so this was mod #1.

I started by looking at the JBL complete system from tech12volts, and its a great deal but more than I needed. I’m no audiophile, I just like to turn the radio up when I’m cruising. So I set about trying to build a similar complete system with cheaper components.

For $500 all in I got:

1x Rockford Fosgate R152-S

1x

$80 Rockford Fosgate R165X3 6.5" 3-Way Full Range Coaxial Speakers (Pair)

Rockford Fosgate R165X3

2x

$19 Metra 72-8104 Speaker Wire Adapters for Select Toyota Vehicles - 4 Total Adapters

Metra 72-8104 Speaker Wiring Harnesses

1xScosche SAT6 Speaker Mounting Brackets

1x Scosche SAT69 Speaker Mounting Brackets

1xRockford Fosgate R2S-1x12 - loaded 12” sub box

1x Rockville RXH-F5 600w 5 Channel Amplifier

1x Rockville RWK42 4 Gauge 4 Chan Car Amp Wiring Installation Wire Kit (2) RCA's

1x4 Channel Line Out converter from tech12volts

The LOC made everything really easy to just replace the stock amp under the passenger seat with the new 5 channel amp. Took me the better part of an afternoon to do by myself, but it was pretty straight forward largely in part to all the great info on this forum.

Next up will be the Phoenix audio tablet head unit and replacing dash tweeters.

 

Emblem inserts

 

dig the grey wheels, very similar to mine!

 

Got my Camlocker tool box installed ...

 

Replaced all my splash shield

 

Those look tougher. My stock ones are torn. What did you use?

Thanks man. You love em? Way better than stock?

 

Looks like a chrome truck!

 

I do love them, waaaayyy better than oem. You won’t regret it.

 

What size wheels and tires?

 

Haha yea from this angle.

 

Installed fog lights for my SR (with the new stalk and relay)

 

Took awhile to get. Threw them on this evening.

 

Installed the FRAC switches in the front of the console.

 

You should be able to add auto headlights to it too. I was able to on my SR5 for less than $10. Here's one similar to what I bought.
