What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

i have the limited with those 20” on there. I love those 20” wheels and I don’t want to buy wheels and tires. I’m not doing flares, but with 2.5” lift you clear and don’t rub? I would like to Have my tires run flush or poke out a little. So you think 285/60/20 is a good setup? Do you have a full size spare?

 

Just ordered RCI sliders (no top tread) and full under armor. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT. This is gonna be a looooong 4-6 weeks.

Hoping to order my ARB summit and undecided winch in the next couple weeks. What are your guys thoughts on Smitty / Warn and steel vs. synthetic?

 

Got my trd pro grille yesterday. Today I separated the two pieces. If anyone's interested in the grille surround check out the for sale section.

 

Big day for the long bed

Tinted windows. Ordered Fox suspension lift whole enchilada through Darren @BOSS4x4s, ordered Method 701s w grapplers (can't convince DW they're bronze, she claims they're gold). Shimmed bumper in prep for lift and wheels (bumper does NOT need to come off).
F@"@$n excited can't wait

Will be selling the stock 18' rims n tires 3000miles and TPMS

 

De-chromed 'dem badges.

Remaining on the hit list:

• Front bumper ends (ordered from Ecological)
• Door handles

 

You’ll really like the BumperShellz. Great bang for the buck.

 

A little more system tuning today.

 

That’s what mine look like without the flares on that’s why I couldn’t decide if I wanted to keep the flares on. Cause I like that look without them too.

 

Yes. For what it sounds like you are looking for mine just poke out a tad. Zero rubbing just very close to the drivers/passenger side front mudflap(the smaller one near the front bumper) if you have them. I do still have the stock spare though. I did nothing yet for that

 

What are you thinking of doing with the door handles? On the fence with mine. OEM is so expensive. Not sold on vinyl.

 

I don't even know what's going on here but as a computer nerd and aspiring audiophile I LOVE IT. Can you elaborate?

 

What you are looking at is an AudioControl 3050A a 1/3 octave spectrum analyzer. It is used to measure competition audio systems frequency response. To hold a 2db curve like that takes a very good system to do this. Normally during a car audio competition you would measure on the 3db scale. To take it down to a 2db scale adds an extra level of difficulty to tune a system this tightly. This is being achieved with the stock JBL head unit and all upgraded gear. I can hold any curve I want to in the truck with this system. I could set it dead flat along the white line and the system would have no problem holding it. Its one of the best sounding systems you will ever hear in any car.

 

Be prepared to wait longer than 4-6 weeks. I ordered my sliders mid April. They arrived last week.

 

Man. I said I was done after all the color matching. Then............off the wagon I went! Having the 100% cement look is killer!! Never gets old.

 

I'm going to keep an eye on how my friend's vinyl wrapped handles hold up. I like the look of black over full white. I think I saw somewhere that the chrome plastic trim can be removed. Has anyone done that, painted and reinstalled? Plastidip?

 

What size wheels and tires are you going to run?

 

Method 701 in 17x8.5 0/4.75" with Ridge Grapplers in 285/75 (33.8") (NIT217-200)

Next set would like to go bigger, ill chop

 

Rigged it up yesterday. Today I tow it to the Bighorns for some fun!

 

Installed tow mirrors on the 2016 SR5. Easy removal of factory mirrors and install of tow mirrors. All functionality works, including running lights/turn signals.

 

Got rid of the eye blinding problem.

 

It's going to look killer!

 

That's fine by me, but I'd imagine that was due to the beginning of the pandemic. I'd imagine they're catching up, but who knows. The sales guy said "5 weeks".

Either way I'd rather get my ARB bumper installed first so it's fine.

 

Got my tires rotated and oil changed at the house today. First time doing both at home with lift. I can change oil without putting on stands with the fumoto valve and a hose.

 

Hello again. Oh damn this thread has blown up which is fantastic. Man, my truck has changed since the last time I posted.
4.88 revolution gears
Dap Tune
Light bar
Fox dsc 3/1 lift camburg uca
New tires, new wheels, and about to get newer wheels.
More stickers
New TRD PRO grille (because OCD so color match was a must)
New headlights and taillights
Even had a pulley fall off while driving

 

Just got back from the Big Horns. Beautiful right now.

 

Hi there. Do you know where I can find an installer for my katzkin? I called them directly and they gave me a number of a place in San Bernardino and they want 1300 I’m not willing to pay that much

 

Really cool to see another loooooooooooooooooong bed coming to life here. Not sure if you're considering steps or sliders, but I went with these from Luverne

Just put a stirrup on the slider / running board.
