What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

What do you have for you tow hooks? These look different than stock. Truck looks real good!

 

He converted to shackles and added D rings.

This (or equivalent) bolts up in place of the stock tow hooks:

$70 Rough Country Tow Hook Shackle Mounts for 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra - RS146 , Black

Blacked out the factory running boards.
Still planning on sliders but this was a fun project with my boys that only cost me $18 (two rattle cans of rust oleum bed liner).
We took them off the truck and removed the treads and end caps. Sanded and scuffed the only shiny parts and layer down several thin coats of bed liner. Reassemble and remount and looks way better.

 

Easy.
Lift right leg,
place leg right on floor board,
angle ass toward seat,
place ass on seat,
place both legs towards pedals,
shut door with left hand.
and voila

 

Toyota eliminated the grab bars to stop enabling those of us who drink too much!

 

I really like this over the satin finish on the factory boards. I’m not into Chrome delete, but this is great.

 

I have Bad knees and eyes. Can't read from the picture. What size are those tires? Always like the tread look of the BFG KOs better than most others.

 

Big interior upgrade today. Will be getting into the dash and radio to install the Rago dash plate. Before that, I drilled and installed an ICS USB charging port that will be tapped into the existing 12vt lighter. I will use the ICS mounting plate to prevent flexing in the dash.

While the radio is out, it’s time to install the anytime camera and switch. Along with the install is the yotaled camera mount that is designed to fit the SR5 sport grill. Gives the camera a clean look in the grill and allows you to mount it at any open slot position on thegrille. Will post updated pics after the install.

 

Awesome! This is the direction I’m headed next. I’m waffling between the Rago and the ICS mounts. I’ll be eagerly waiting to see the finished product.

 

I’m lacking the good balance part due to hips being held together with what appears to be wood screws on the x-rays.

 

I'm not the guy but are these it - https://www.yotaleds.com/collections/tundra

 

Y’all better stop talking about this or @Ellis_McPickle will call the forum police. Or Jesus Christ.

 

Agreed! And now I get to read the whole @ElkHunter thread! Never would have known about it if it weren't for @AZBoatHauler's off-topic post! It's comedy GOLD!

 

RCI Sliders

 

After you see your x-rays, "I could have done that from stuff at my hardware store..." lol

 

Added black SEM trim paint to the steering wheel. Next step, the center console around the radio

 

Ordered this softopper boot, gonna give it a try with it installed on truck,, not bad for $50

 

Is anyone else having issues with the dual USB charger in the lower center dash panel cutting in and out? Seems to stay on 5 to 10 secs then turns off for a bit, then on again for a few seconds...repeat. No wires appear to be pinched and the connector is clicked in solid. I measured steady 12 VDC on the wires (with the plug unhooked). I’m thinking the dual USB module might just be on the blink. Both ports are acting the same. 12V cig lighter port in this area and in the console are working fine. Also, any tricks to getting it out without busting it? I’m thinking I better get it working right before I start adding new switches where the blanks are. TIA

 

Nice! I was thinking of going with matte black vinyl wrap in both areas so I still have the option to return it to stock someday. The SEM trim paint looks great though.

 

Before all that.... I didn’t see you mention trying another charging cable ( quality one ) or device.
This has happened to me and my wife multiple times. Turns out it’s the cable with internal breaks. As for us when it has happened with our iPhones, we would flip the cable where it plugs into phone. It would work and tell me the cable is bad. This is the same symptoms that have happened in my Tacoma and 4Runner. Just a thought

 

Thanks. I’ve tried several cables and devices with same results.
...and the cables/devices work fine in the console cig ltr port w/USB adapter.

 

Better than this guy.

 

Well then you did the process of elimination. Profile looks like you have a ‘20. Take it to dealer and have it warrantied

Edit.... make sure when you do, you SHOW them so they don’t “I can’t duplicate the problem’ on you

Fully committed to my truck now

 

I have a 2021 TRD pro and it cuts on and off

 

Yeah. Was hoping it was a simple fix. I have an appointment at Toyota, but I hate other people touching my ride. It’s usually disappointing.

 

Same issue with my 2019. Tried multiple cords and it is intermittent.
