What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Hi, @WestexSBK! Congrats, It appears you have the 20" Factory rims and tires on your new ride. Does it have a good highway ride and handle?

Jimmy

 

I drove mine and reached 5600mi.

 

The truck drives like a dream! That rear sway bar is a must in my opinion. I intend to go with 18” wheels and larger tires soon but I’m loving the stock setup so far

 

Some preventative stuff today

Total Chaos bed stiffeners:




Total Chaos cam tab gussets:



Icon shock boots:



and Coach Builder 0-2" lift carrier bearing spacers:

 

This is fantastic. Love stuff like this. Great work!

 

Hit this milestone on my 2017 tundra

 

Tied em into footwell lights, they even come on when I get close to truck with key in my pocket

Yea, I’m gonna see what I can do!...if not I won’t push it since I have em under the truck

 

Those are some fog lights I found on Amazon. Wouldn’t recommend them. They were far too bright to be auxiliary lights so I had to add some tint on the lenses

 

Installed my 6 way switch panel. So far just grill LEDs and my ditch lights until my light bar comes in... someone give me ideas for the other 3

 

Well maybe

 

OnBoard air, Bed Mounted 12v and USB ports, Fridge, Winch power cutoff, Winch in, Winch out controls.

 

If I don’t hit the 5K milage in a year, I still change the oil. I’ve heard condensation occurs in the engine.

I thought I was a low milage person at 5-6 K miles per year with the Tundra. Vehicle milage dropped after retirement. (We have 2 other cars. Our high milage car is a BMW X3 diesel. The low milage is a M235 vert).

 

Got my ARB Weekender Recovery kit today! Everything looks rock solid! Now just waiting on the Agency6 hitch receiver.

 

I did not. I actually bought this new in box from a local guy that no longer needed it. Same old boring latch but im ok with that. haha

 

Man I want the Leitner rack, love how modular it is.

 

Installed Rigid backup lights connected to the cargo light switch.

 

Not what I've done today but my father just bought a 2021 1794 and absolutely loves it. Also it's so weird how much has changed since 2017 the brakes seem so much more touchy. Also does anyone know if the head unit is different ?

 

Added decked + Yakima overhaul HD + CVT Denali.

Im heavy now.



My suspension guru has given me 2 choices. Icon RXT stage 2 but my current icon stage 5 kit I believe goes up to 2”. W this option I would need to upgrade to a longer shock. If I did that I would get kings.

option 2 is to do icon RXT stage 1 and air bags w cradles and keep my current icon shocks.

Plan to keep decked in full time. The tent and columns will come off when not in use.

We like to get to the farthest camp spots down the forest roads. Would like to keep my clearance and articulation.

which begs this question. I know I need a sway bar. It would help with all our Arizona windy roads. I carry a cordless impact. Does anyone undo and zip tie there’s on the regular. Is it annoying?

thank you.

 

Not sure how much the head unit would change for the android auto/Apple caraway that was added to 2020+ model years. I know they removed the CD player.

 

Got the drawer system mostly done today. Next up is to build and mount the drawer itself when my slides come in and also carpet the outside. Also has a top hatch at the back and another on the side for more storage.

 

Swapped out the leaking third brake light on my canopy. Piece of junk was only 3 years old.

 

I went into town for some errands, put $80 worth of fuel in it, and hosed off the mud and grime at a car wash. Nothing like the reflection or detailing thread, but still pretty.

One on the sunny side; one on the shaded side. Love the Cavalry Blue!

 

Installed SDHQ ABS Sensor Guards

Nice work, scribing the plywood.

 

Painted my tow hooks and got a lifetime alignment at Firestone

 

Face ON!

 

Removed the bug guard that came on my truck

Looks better without... except someone-maybe the used dealer tried to remove it before or installed to cover this?

this was all discovered while in plasti dip mode. Trying out rear bumper caps for now and tempted to do grill- both temporary while I spend money on more important mods first. Looks good I think but I’ll see if it holds up.

 

Send that too me and I can anodize it for you, I'll make it look real nice

 

A month or so ago I ordered a Loncky leather steering wheel cover from Amazon. It came with a couple of small rips in it at the bottom corners. So I sent them a message with pics and asked how I would proceed. They responded that there was no need to worry as the rips would be covered by the plastic trim. I was skeptical, but it did seem that it would be close. So I installed it. As u can see by the pics it did not work out. Cut it out and send it back for a refund.
My advice is to stay away from Loncky.

 

I decided to by a leather cover from Redlinegoods. I put it on today. Total time was approximately 3 hours. Much better quality. I did take the wheel off. You actually don’t need a puller to take it off. Just pull it back and forth and it should pop right out. I did use contact cement as I went along. I am very happy with the results.
