What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

How is the road noise with those tires?
How's the fit of the tires? Are you lifted?

 

2015 as well. SR5 slicktop. Wife loves it!

 

ok awesome, I don’t know anyone local but I’m sure I can figure something out, thanks Bob!... much appreciated!

Thanks for the info!...don’t have anyone local that I know of, so this will come in handy!

 

More than happy to help. FYI, don't pick a PLA based filament as they are not UV stable. Go with ABS or PETG or even nylon. Thanks for all the help you give others!

 

Ok awesome, I appreciate the help cause I’m clueless with this 3D printing stuff!...lol...and no prob, thanks to all you guys for supporting the channel!

 

NP at all. I get it. I did a channel for 3D printing for a few years. I still have people watching them and subscribing and haven't posted one in 2-3 years.

 

Yea it’s crazy, when I started my channel I had NO intentions on making it what it is today...I was just a clown with a camera recording the things I like to do...lol...still amazes me how it’s grown, and still growing faster and faster every month...it’s pretty humbling honestly...just enjoying the ride!

 

Replaced my Amazon TRDpro letters with TUFSKINZ Matte letters they look much better

 

Tried and true, I’ve been running BFG KO2s on my TRD Pro Tacoma since 2015. They are quiet and provide great traction for my needs. If you use keyword KO2 in the search, you’ll find lots of opinions about them. LT265/70R18 fit easily on my SR5 4X4 Tundra DC with no special mods or alignment needed. So I could haul more weight with less sag, my rear springs have an extra leaf added, giving me a couple inches of rake. Front suspension is stock SR5. I considered going bigger, but didn’t want to cram the largest possible tire in there.

Side view...

 

Can you send me link I need to replace mine 2 year old now need to keep them letters fresh lol

 

WAS a clown or still am? Just messing with you. We enjoy the vidoes. Evidently your son likes to photo bomb some of them lol. Now you just need to get the dog in there.

 

Nice! What hardware did you purchase to attach to the rail?

 

I like the gun safe - looks more useful than the Tuffy one. What brand is yours, and would you have a link to it?

 

Here you go little more expensive but I think it’s worth it

Please and Thank you

Awesome - - Thank you very much!! Glad my wife doesn't know how much I'm about to spend...

 

35s on 17s? lookin good!

 

Which style of Pro Grill? The older with the bar across (14-17) or just the TOYOTA letters (19+)? How much, and would you be willing to ship? Didn’t see where you’re located but I’m in Seattle.

 

T-slot nuts (Amazon) w/ bolts, some basic angle bracket, extra wide (took me a while to find one that would work), oak wood (got lucky and found a hardwood that was cheap), and long 1/4" 20 bolts w washers.

I bought this particular drawer because of 1, it was the right length to fit w/ the Retrax, and 2, it has a mounting system up top w bolts welded in for open cubby system they sell. Just had to buy longer bolts and figure an easy-ish was to secure it to the rails.

I was on the fence w/ building my own out of wood, but got lucky and found this -- kinda pricey, but checked off all the boxes. AmericanVan.com is the company.

This particular unit showed up pretty banged up. Not stoked on that, and customer service has yet to respond... So take that for what it is. Overall, I'm stoked, and WAY cheaper than Goose Gear or something similar.

 

Ordered the Aluma Series coilover kit from @Toytec Lifts with rear shackles and bumpstops......Bye-bye spacer lift! Now I just have to wait because the rear shocks are backordered. Added the Total Chaos upper control arms as well.....might as well do it all at once right? Have new Nitto Ridge Grapplers to go on once the control arms are installed.

 

Plasti dip?

 

New bed caps & debadged

 

Too much here not to ask...

If you don't mind, how much was your Toytec setup?
What spacer lift did you have?
Why are you getting rid of the spacer lift in favor of coilers? (e.g. do you do a lot of off-roading, uncomfortable ride)

 

It was just over 3K with the addition of new bump stops, diff drop, and total chaos UCA's. I currently have the low range offroad 3/1 spacer kit. Overall its not a bad kit, just looking to upgrade the ride quality. I wouldn't say the ride was "bad" with the spacer kit, just not what it will be with the coilover setup up front and shackles in the back instead of a block. Most notably will be the addition of the UCA's...should be able to dial in the alignment better with the lift vs. the stock UCA's.

 

For me, spacers would be an acceptable option, since any hard off-roading would be in my CJ7. For others, the biggest issue with the spacers is on the extension end of the stroke (might be saying that wrong) as I understand that is where you can damage your stock suspension. Am I understanding that correctly?

If I lived closer, I would be trying to buy the old spacers off of you.

 

Amen brother! Did the same thing for the same reasons. KO2 but went 275/70/18. No lift/no special alignment. Did have to take a heat gun and 2x4 to the mud flaps. Tows the tt great.

 

What modification did you have to apply to the Sequoia rack, so that you could use it on your Tundra. I like the rack and that would look great on our 20202 Doublecab to carry in winter the Skis on top. I guess for a RTT mount they maybe not strong enough.

 

I can always throw the kit in a box when it comes off the truck!

 

Just installed ABS and Brake line relo.
