What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Yeah - been there in April, May, July, and August. 113 in the shade. Oof

 

Got my black lug nuts installed this evening. I know some have questioned the integrity of the coating on the lug nuts. They passed the install test and the visual test. Now to see how they hold up.



Excuse the "dirty" wheels. I've been trying to test out the integrity of the Plasti Dip and paint on every dirt road I can find. That's my excuse to dirt road anyways.

Thanks, I'll look into it!

 

Katzkin. They are unreal!! I designed them. They sent me back a digital image. I approved. They sent them to an installer and had them installed in one day. They are so soft you’d think they were out of a Mercedes! And the unreal part is it only cost $2,400 for the entire truck!! I was thinking it would cost 5k for what I wanted. Toyota leather kinda sucks. These are amazing. Go to Katzkin.com and look around.

Aaand now I need this. Shit! I need to unsubscribe from this particular discussion

 

@point08 as soon as I watched the YouTube video I knew I had to have it!

 

Cat Plates went on today. What a pain in the butt that install was. Gotta fine tune it in the morning to make sure everything secured nicely since I ran out of day light.

 

I've been eyeing one of these for a while, would you mind passing what website you used?

 

mountainhatch.org. I don’t remember the 20% off code, but you can find it on their Instagram

 

It is a PITA to tighten the bolts with the PRO plate, it fits, but oof

 

Yeah that window control module is really cool and also very easy to install.

 

I think it looks pretty slick, anyone have any concerns about the way its wired to the battery ? Disclaimer - I know nothing about wiring so not criticizing just curious.

 

I agree with your concern. I would think it would be better to tap into an always-on 12V supply inside the cab.

 

It would be a little easier to do that as well.

 

Ordered the Pro Holder phone mount.

 

Expecting the parts to show up today for my differential breather relocation. And also got the parts to wire up my power fold mirrors to auto-fold when the truck is turned off.

 

wait just a tick - - what is this madness about auto-folding mirrors when the truck is turned off. you some kind of Hairy Pooter wizrd or something? I'm gonna need to check part numbers on that.

 

what parts for auto-fold? Please do an install video as well.

 

You’ve got memory mirrors…so don’t think it’s gonna work for you. Your power fold functions are all controlled by two ECUs - one in each door. Your switch is just sending a signal.
My Pro didn’t come with power fold, so I added it using the switch from a Gen2 Limited (power fold without memory). In those switches, the switch is directly controlling the power to the mirror. From what I can tell, a DPDT relay wired up right should send power to fold the mirrors when the truck is turned off, then restore whatever the switch is actively set to when the truck is turned on.

 

I should look into the relays for the Lexus RX. My wife's has both memory and auto-fold... Not sure if that's doable, but I'll report back whatever info I find.

 

Here’s a install diy, using KTJO 4x4 harness/kit.
I know there’s a thread on here about the kit somewhere. Just search around, or google it.

 

That’s likely controlled by the same ECUs.
Depending on how your switch actually functions (momentary signal or fixed position - I don’t have a platinum or 1794 to test on), it might be possible to hijack the wiring inside each door between the ECU and the mirror to add a relay to do the same thing. But not sure if that will fully work or not.

when I get it done, I’ll post it up in my build thread for sure

 

Changed this



to this



And this



to this





Not sure if I keep these Wet Okole covers. At least no more static electricity shocks when I'm getting out of the truck.

 

From what I read on that thread, people were having issues with it correctly working. Not sure how it all worked out in the end…I’ve reached out to KTJO a few times inquiring about different products and really haven’t gotten any response. So I quit asking

 

I had WO’s in my last truck for over 250k miles. They were showing their age at the end, but held up great!

 

Got the tow mirror caps sanded and primed last night. Finish coats today and if all goes well mirrors on later this afternoon.

 

My main point was how quickly the fabric seats get dirty, thanks to sons. I was cleaning them up the other day using Tornador and I was literally coughing because of the dust clouds. Also some stains I could not remove easily, on the truck that is less than 2 years in use!

 

Very true. I chose to have the WO's get dirty over the factory fabric for sure. With dogs, trips to the creek for a swim, etc. it was nice to have the neoprene.
Once a year I'd take them out and run them through the front load washer on delicate cycle, then air dry and re-install. The only issue I had with them was that I did the piping on the edges, and the driver's side outside edge that piping wore through within a year.

 

Leg Day.
