What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Pics?

 

I installed an automatic light control sensor into the area where one should be in my dash. I don't have automatic lights, but it does keep my radio bright, instead of switching to night mode if I turn my headlights on during the day. It's as simple as popping the filler plug out, sliding the sensor in, and plugging in the existing wire.

Buy the headlight wand with auto headlights and that’sa simple swap as well. I did it in my 2008. Just make sure to nark the steering wheel position before you pull it off.

 

I did my carrier bearing drop and relocated my rear differential breather behind the tail light.

 

@biebs96 I made it.

 

I took my new 2021 through a car wash yesterday. Coming from a 2001 Tacoma, this was terrifying. The Tundra is so big I was afraid the car wash sprayers were going to hit the truck.

 

Threw on tow mirrors.

 

This is great! I need my headlights on when towing our travel trailer for the rear camera to work and the screen becomes so hard to see with sunglasses on. I'll give this a try. Thanks!

 

Now that is a great idea for towing the tt. Adding to the list.

 

I added auto lights to our 08 4Runner by adding the sensor (+ a small intermediate dash harness as on the 4Runner its not existing in all trim packages) and if the case is similar for the Tundra, my guess is all you would need to add is the headlight stalk with the "auto" setting and you would then have the auto headlight function.

 

Not mine but checking this out in the parking lot at work. 35x12.50's with no BMC. I left my number so I can see what offset he is on. Then I'll try to drag him here to the forum.

 

Nice! How much weight are you running in the back? Daily and fully loaded?

Also, how was the install? I'm planning to install mine this weekend, any tips?

 

Do you have the Built Right UCA's on there?

 

I hear you. After the Tundra, driving the Tacoma is like driving a sedan. I put a Leer shell on my Tundra and it took a long time to get over the feeling I was driving a bus.

 

Hey Bro sorry for the late reply. I tapped into both positive & ground wire on the foot light on my driver side (Funny part I only have 1 footlight and that's on the driverside) Reason I was getting the lights to never turn off is because the computer kills the ground cable and the positive stays on. So Don't ground it to that ground bunch you have at the footwell behind that panel (White & black line cables) I tapped into the Blue (Positive) and Brown (Ground). Hope that helps. Reach out if you need any help @Tundra234.

 

Got her washed and took the kids to
the park. Fuels and 34s go on tomorrow

 

285/70's going on?

 

What did you paint the grill surround and bumper covers with? Ive been debating doing the same. Got any more pics?


As for mine, had 5100s installed at middle setting, and cooper 275/70/18s installed. Just got home and parked on the flat road to measure, i have 1 1/8" rake from center cap to wheel well.

What's with all the crooked photos?

 

plasti dip. Has held up well and over many washes over about a year. Just can’t bring myself to fork over the money for color matched. Too many other things I’d rather have and happy for now to address it with a $5 can of dip. I think you should keep the blackout and blue theme going more pics of my front in my profile and other posts

 

Thanks, the blue on the tires is just the protective coating over the white letters, I snapped that pic before cleaning it off.

 

Crooked hand I guess lol

 

Had one ceramic tinted window going bad. Passenger front. Had that replaced and decided to get my front window done in clear ceramic.




Plus it just looks sweet sitting in the garage LOL

 

Decided I was tired of just the textured look of the tri fold. Decided to give it a dimpled affect





Truck hood and roof barely have any visible impact damage. Is what it is.

 

That's good for +10 MPG - there's a reason golf balls are dimpled. If no paint is broken there's no problems with hail damage - plus you can get a payout from insurance as if it was going to be repaired.

 

Brutal.

 

That just sucks. Sorry to see that.

 

Thanks all! It sucks but I'm just grateful that my windows are intact and its drivable. Just north of me the hail was larger and did much more damage to homes and vehicles.
