What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Awesome thanks!

 

Added flush mounted backup lights

 

That's clean looking.
I really like that.

 

While "I" didn't do this today, it was something that got done today. @jlee making dreams come true, one dream at a time.

It's been sent off for coating and then we're that much closer to delivery!

HASHTAG Can'tWait.... that's how the kids do it right?

 

I manage a Goodyear location and have heard nothing of them discontinuing any sizes in the Duratracs. They are actually adding some new sizes.I know 35-1250-20 is one of them. That 2757018 is a very popular size. We use them a lot when we do leveling kits on trucks.

 

I'm gonna be honest here but I had the duratracs and wasn't to happy with them went to 20" with Nitto and love them mho

 

That's great news! You guys ship? Haha

 

That's good news for a lot of folks, I know they are very popular. I would probably have a set if the two stores hadn't told me they were being discontinued in that size. It all worked out, I'm very happy with the Nittos.

 

Thanks @Crewmax Chris. I haven't driven in snow with the Nittos but I read a lot of good reviews prior to buying them saying they are very capable in snow. I live in Virginia and we seldom get snow, so that wasn't a big factor for me. They aren't a snow rated tire so I'm sure there are better options for snow.

 

I wish I wasn't shopping for a tire with that as my primary goal. It just makes life so much easier not getting stuck in the winter. Haha. You're already leaps and bounds above most of the folks in VA having a four wheel drive truck. I drove down to a Duke game from Vienna, VA a few years ago (in my in-laws Mercedes SUV). It started snowing on the way home and there was a dusting on the road. Everyone else in the truck was asleep but I was just trying to avoid all of the cars going 30 MPH on the highway!

 

You're right, they don't know what to do with snow here ... they don't have the equipment to handle it and people don't know how to drive in it, although they think they do. I grew up in the Midwest (with a lot of snow) and lived in Pennsylvania for several years so I'm used to it, but we got a couple of inches of snow/ice earlier this winter and the schools were closed for almost a week ... ha ha. I drove my commuter car ('99 Corolla) a couple of days because the roads were fine to me, but everyone else here was still freaking out.

 

My wife went to high school in northern VA. She usually refers to our storms up here by how many days she'd have off of school in VA for something similar.

 

Got new lights put in today, installed HIDs for hi/lows and fogs... Had them wire it so lows don't shut off when I turn my brights on, much safer!

Most importantly, got rid of a bit more chrome in the process!

 

All i wanted was some chips from the store.... damn potholes will get ya out here in the desert.
I decided to test my suspension and it looks like i can count it up as a win for me... just a total lose for the poor ole skid plate. That bumper did wonders @CM-LENNY. Performed just like i thought it would. Once i reinforced it, i can get some nice air and have some solid travel with no rub!!! winning.

 

Exactly what my wife said lol. She knew i wanted one so this was definitely gonna happen

 

Ill come by and test fit it on my truck for you..... you know make sure it fits

 

Did you tap in the reverse light?

 

Edit: Accidental double post

 

Next mod! Tundra's reverse illumination sucks! I may also add lights in the rear wheel wells to light up the curb and parking lines so they can be seen in the side mirrors when backing in.

 

I Drove my buddies GMC 2500HD the other day and there are reverse lights on the outside of the mirrors that illuminate the entire side of the truck. I need to figure out how to retro those mirrors onto my truck.

 

Even better !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

They just cut entire bottom out to install that??

 

Yes, I currently tapped into the reverse tail light. Planning on installing a on-off-on switch in the future. That way in one position the lights come on when in reverse, the the other ON position in an override to turn the lights on when not in reverse.

 

LoL - kind of you.

 

Do you think you could measure how far away you are from the sensor locations on the bumper caps? I have a net set, and was going to try to cut them out off of the truck to have better manipulation.

The shipping box comes with a template that is used to cut the carpet and foam into three squares. Can't run the entire length due to the seat mounts:

Looks nice... husky? You're doing Another one ? Also did you have to take out the back seats to do it??

 

I have full coverage Husky floor liners in the rear that needed to be cut out as well:

Seats stay in when installing the plastic bins but are removed if you buy the locking aluminum bins.
