What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Those aren't TRD wheels. He chronicled the wheels and what he did with them earlier in the thread, I think.

Edit: Link to the wheels https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...d-gen-tundra-today.713/page-1408#post-1850579

 

Put these on yesterday. Definitely not worth $125.00.

bad light output? scattered? or they do ok...just not worth the money? go pics?

 

Good light output, but not much better than the Zevo bulbs I already had. Somewhat scattered also.

Just absolutely too much money for them. I was expecting a much bigger difference. I didn’t get pics. Put them in yesterday afternoon and didn’t even look until this morning. Doubtful I can return them, but I’ll be asking.

I’ll try to remember and get pics tonight.

 

i was considering getting new reverse light bulbs since my tint is so dark, now i guess i'll avoid them at that cost

 

I end up getting this from them ... so bright ...

 

Nothing on their site is worth the prices they ask. The only thing I bought, and will ever get from them is the footwell kit. That kit is actually sort of worth the coin if footwell lighting is something you need. Although, you could build your own similar setup for much cheaper, the vled kit is unbelievably simple to install.

I went Amazon for all of my other led bulbs.

 

Nice! Did you cut off the tabs that index in the oblong holes on the OEM hood? Or is that what's covered in the red adhesive? Just trying to understand if the scoop came that way or if you modified it. Most of the videos I've seen show people cutting those tabs off.

 

This is what I have done also, huge difference. Well worth the money in my opinion!

 

Yes, the three tabs were ground down flat and 3M double sided adhesive was placed on the flat.

 

Do you use the same fumoto valve thats on the oil pan? Are they both the same size and thread pattern?

 

Wait?! Im slightly confused, did you drill your hood for this, or did you use adhesive tape?

 

Actually both techniques were utilized. There are eight holes to drill to attach the scoop for the snap studs and 10mm nuts. There are three odd shaped tabs that fit into an actual "scooped hood". I did not want to "carve-up" my hood for the "L and Minus sign" tabs to snap into. Therefore, I opted to grind those tabs flat and used double sided tape where those surfaces "mate"...

Hope this helps.

 

Balls of Steel for drilling. I've wanted to do the same on my truck, but just can't justify doing it.
I wonder if using panel bonding adhesive would of been easier?

 

I was ordering some puddle lights from them for my wife’s Sequoia. The ones I had on there from Amazon fell apart, so I decided to try theirs out. They weren’t too excessive on those. (60 bucks a pair. Think I paid 30 for the Amazon ones.)

I decided to try these reverse lights out, even though they were expensive as hell. They certainly didn’t come close to being worth it. Hopefully I can at least save someone else from dropping that kind of money on them.

The products do seem to be very well made. Unfortunately not a justifiable expense though, imo.

 

Did you get those from this seller? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tundra-Climate-Vent-Ring-Cover-2014-BLACK/274491375697?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT


Well I just pulled the trigger on these. Seller told me he would send me 2 sets for $15 in case I wanted to try and paint and it didnt work out.

 

Honestly I got lost in all of the different options people recommended and just ended up getting the TRD performance pads from the dealership.

I bought my truck used and found out that my rotors were already bad while rotating my tires during my first oil change . I rode them for as long as I could until this last hurricane hit about 2 weeks ago and I had to pump my brakes to stop on the wet roads lol.

 

Been waiting for this one ...

 

Finished vinly wrapping my front bumper end caps, and put everything back together again.

 

I have a fumoto valve on the truck oil pan, then max a maxis filter drain tool, both from Amazon. The fumoto drain stays on the oil pan, it replaced the bolt.

 

Actually got them from our man on here - @Swfltoyomafia

 

Nice bag, but what’s in it?

 

for the filter drain tool, how does it work? Is this what you got:

$55 Motivx Tools Oil Filter Wrench and Drain Tool Set for Toyota & Lexus 2.0L - 5.7L Engines With Cartridge Style Oil Filter Systems

https://www.amazon.com/Motivx-Tools...child=1&keywords=mx2341&qid=1601313987&sr=8-4

I just used my last "free" oil change from toyota. So I want to order the stuff I need to start doing them. I believe I found the right fumoto... just need to know how you're doing the oil filter. It says it wont work with the stock screw off filter or something. Is there something else I need?

 

Looks like it might be food processor.

 

this is the valve i used for my 2017

$37 Original Fumoto F103N with LC-10 lever clip FN-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9DXCHP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

That’s the valve I have as well. Works great.

 

yes, that is the other tool I have

 

Went to the bike trails and made a first gen friend

 

I had this on my 2006 and the time it would take that small stream of oil to drain out would drive me mad.

 

How hard are those things to get off and get back on? Did you use any instructions or videos for help?
