What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

You wanna sell it?

 

I can finally call myself a real TRDpro owner

 

Hey great job.
How much was the locker and 10,5 3rd ?

Thanks

 

Just found you answer.
Sorry for double asking.
Let as know how it works after brake in period

 

I would be interested unless my wife finds out I am selling. LOL She wants it back the way it was before, it helped her she says

 

@Piki What (3) switch panel are you using? I like that it doesn’t have any exposed fasteners. I want.

 

Tires balanced and rotated at Discount Tire. I had a wobble in the steering wheel at about 50mph; suspected/hoped a tire was out of balance and it appears that was the issue as the wobble is no more. I clearly explained that I want lugs torqued to 95 ft-lbs (Methods/ 85-95 ft-lb at a min 7.5 turns), pressure increased from 32 to 34 (going on road trip), balance weights placed on outside edge (Method 17s) and tires rotated in X patter (countering slight cupping). As Im watching the techs torque the lug nuts I ask him- "what did you torque them to?" He replies "100". I tell him that is a no go and please set to 95 and that I clearly told the admin guy at the desk... he got pissed however, I established dominance and reminded him why he was there. Not heading back to that DT....

 

First time towing my FD. No issues with transmission temps. 215F the whole trip and about 13MPG with the car on the trailer.

 

How did you establish dominance? I would have marked my territory by pissing on his tool box.

 

Hahahaha. Nah Im just saying that the kid looked like he couldn't wait for his break to hit the pipe and he required a firm posture, mild knife hand, and solid voice inflection. I realize people have bad days and never ending workloads and some do financially better here being unemployed vs employed but... I expected the shop employees to behave in a professional manner - that was the issue- that and Im not taking any shit.

 

Lifes tuff for you isn't it...

 

lol! Women.. my wife was the same way when she drives my Tundra. No BSM, no Parking assist, no auto fold mirrors. haha.

 

Yeah I was so worried about the straps when I ordered also. Then it came with no instructions so had to call them. Their tech department has always answered the phone and it turns out I was worried for no reason and it was a super easy install.

I had the straps and plate installed in about 30 minutes. Mainly because I took my time and rust proofed a few spots, anti seized the bolts, etc,...otherwise it would have been less. So the straps are the factory Toyota straps that come with the factory skid plate like the TRD offroad/PRO models.

Literally the hardest part was driving around so much to get the fuel tank well below a quarter tank. A fuller tank bulges too much and makes the install difficult unless it's below a quarter tank. Replaced one strap at a time and again it was extremely easy.

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with expecting it to be right when you give clear expectations. It's difficult to instill ownership in someone who is just gonna do whatever the F he wants. Gets under my skin too.

 

Everytime I call (3 times now) I hit the tech extension and my call has been answered each time. It's too bad you have a bad taste in your mouth (unstandably so however) about it now cuz it is a quality product.

 

Applied Ranch Hand treatment.

 

Man I wish I still had my ‘94 FD. What a fun car that was!

 

Removed the ugly chrome side steps and removed the “Tundra” emblems from the sides.

 

Two projects completed today. Installed the CupHolderHero liner kit and wrestled the Coverking ballistic nylon back seat cover into place to give the leather some protection from the future Tundra drivers.

 

Added another 20 horses. No more chrome caps and raised tailgate letters

 

Started painting the Valhalla Shields -
Knock the loose stuff off with a pearl disc, two coats of self-etching primer, two coats of underbody coating.

 

Removed my drop in liner so to get ready to put a spray in liner. Then my children decided it was there new fort. Also installed Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners I got for $71.

 

Installed the Winjet Tundra DRL LED Tail Lights - Smoke

 

Those things make a great sled in the winter too.

 

That is about all it's good for.

 

Installed a PRO grille logo today. Technically I don’t have a TRD Pro, but since I installed all the Pro stuff on my 1794, I thought maybe I could advertise just a little:
