What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Got a lot done this weekend. 1.75” leveling kit. Plastidipped my stock 20” wheels black. And painted my tow hooks red to match the sway bars. Probably my favorite mod so far!

 

Got rid of the dealer bedside decals they had on there when I bought the truck and put some TRD ones on.

 

I think that’s what I would like on my truck. Can you send me a link? Thanks.

 

PM sent.

 

Finally plasti dipped my bumper end caps.

 

Same here...

 

Appreciate it, I’m gonna yank it back out when I get time and throw a little black paint on it....but you have leaked my interest. Maybe I need to research this anodizing process.

 

Ditto @brown_subaru
That looks sharp.

 

I love the idea of a wireless charger in that spot, but the problem is its horribly slow. And the newer trucks require you to be plugged in to use Apple CarPlay (although I use a wireless adapter).

 

I noticed this as well when I put it in, crazy slow! Like barely keeps the battery up when streaming Bluetooth? Weird!

 

I got the TRD stickers off Etsy here:

I got the matte black ones. This seller has a number of cool designs.

 

'68 Cougar, very sweet. Owned 3 in my life and would love another.

 

The Qi wireless charging protocol is on its way out. Not worth installing that thing IMO.

 

Put my little boat in it.. fits like a glove and then brought the little guy out for a few hours

 

Painted the hub cap emblem and did the hitch while I was at it! I need to put up the damn spray paint

 

Easter Detail Inside and Out

 

damn I love this truck!

 

Did the first oil change at 5300 miles and put my aluminum filter housing in. Also it was the first oil change with the RCI. Installed the 4 inch security bolts in the rear cat plate as well.

 

RB20s today

 

Tires will be for sale soon hopefully picking out new ones tomorrow. These have 300 miles on them if interested

 

Rear cat plate bolts? Details?

 

I have front and rear catalytic converter theft deterrent plates. I swapped the hex head bolts out with true security bolts.

 

Gotcha. Which plates and bolts?

 

I have the Desert Eagle front and Valhalla rear. Valhalla does make a front and rear plate that will be easier to install.

Swapped out the wiper blades with some new rainx ones and cleaned the inside up. Debadging and installing my puddle.lights is next now that it's warmer out.

I have shared this video in a few spots. Its hilarious and should be an auto reply to all MPG and Tow mirror threads. All in good fun

For the front DE plate, I used 3/8 16 x 2 inch. You can use 1.5 or 2 inch. For the rear plate, there are two 4 inch bolts that go through the crossmember and have nuts on top. Those are 3/8 16 x 4 inch. They are currently out of stock on these sizes in quantity of 5 but they should be getting more soon. Don't forget to order the correct tip if you place an order at some point.

appreciate that. Theft hasn’t been an issue around me yet thankfully but I would rather be safe than sorry at this point.

 

How did the oil look at 5300?

 

Yeah Jacksonville and Panama City area has had a little. I'm in the Clearwater area and its mostly commercial vehicles so far. I hate thieves. The bad part is that it could be a couple of months waiting for parts if you get hit. Some of the guys here have been waiting for 6 or 8 weeks so far.
