What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

oh, y’all are just a couple of cheech and chongs.

 

Looks great! I’d strap that sucker down, like others have suggested. Just an idea for a mounting spot:

 

Nothing but painted metal. Stock photo from the google machine to illustrate.

 

Its just flat. The letters are just stuck on. Can be remove with a heat gun

 

Put on my 1.25" Bora spacers yesterday. Also let the axle droop and sprayed with compressed air and lube in an attempt to fix a squeak I've been having. Only to have the bright idea to grab and shake my spare tire to find the culprit. Dropped it, wiped everything down and sprayed some lube in the lifting mechanism, lifted the tire back up making sure it was tight and no more squeak.

No rubbing anywhere, especially on the LCA skid (main reason I got them). I tell you what I was over it by the time I finished the 5 mile test run they recommend, then had to take all 4 wheels off again to check torque. Just had to be the hottest day of the year so far . Had to wire brush the wheel interface, the hubs, the base of the studs before being able to install them.

Btw I know the wheel key is on the wheel still in one of the photos, I grabbed it after.

 

Rough country 30"....

 

Where were you able to get the emblem cover since AJT is no longer selling them?

 

Bill I got mine off EBay. And fit fine and the finish is nice on it. What 30 inch light bar did you add?

 

Don, it's the rough country 30", and man is it bright. They told me after the install that I may get ticketed, LOL

 

Looks good! It’s going to be a while until I can get rid of all the exterior chrome. It’s on the list though.

 

Thank you I had the 20 inch Bajadesigns on my 4runner Pro and sold it cause I traded my 4runner in. I plan on adding another to my tundra.

 

I forgot to ask what did you do with adding the switch inside. I removed a blank spot in my 4runner and adding onboard switch. I plan to do the same.

 

Bed rails installed, it can be done after the Toyota spray in bed liner, just need to find the holes and clean out for the bolts.

 

They added a switch to the left of the steering, never asked where I wanted, and I never thought about it.

 

Just ordered mine....Thx for the info.

 

Added Amp and 2 10" subs

 

Great idea, though I do have 3 people in the backseat often. I was thinking about another post I saw where someone mounted it to a SwingCase, but I’m worried about having it exposed to the elements since I don’t have a bed cover. Might just go ahead and use an aluminum bar to mount to the front seat bolts, or, drop the coin on the Desert Does It setup.

 

Pulled my lights and sprayed them with Raptor Liner.

 

Decided to do something different on the grille badge placement and I had my tow hooks painted. What do y’all think?

 

Looks good!! I basically did the same thing.

 

Swapped my mis-matched sub (box was too small and sub was 8-ohm) with a secondhand James Tech12Volts special. Sounds soooo much better. Also added sound deadening since I had to pull the factory carpet/curtain thing.

 

Different grill, but same vintage colors.

 

So, how'd it go? I Just bought a Toy hauler, I probably need bags, etc

 

I have the Air Lift bags on mine... Can be a bit rough even at 5 PSI as the back-end is SOLID. Tows great though, no sag whatsoever.

 

Prototyping a 3D printed overlay for the steering wheel, if I can get it all dialed in I'll paint match it MGM.

 

Start with a WDH to transfer some of the weight to the front axle and back to the trailer.
I did bags because my leafs are starting to flatten out since my truck has extra weight - rock sliders, 46 gallon tank, full size 37" spare, bed cover. I run at 5psi for daily driving and the rear has a bit more bounce, but was good when towing with 22psi.
Watch your payload on the truck, most toy haulers transfer a lot more hitch weigh than a standard travel trailer.

 

Ah, nice idea.

 

The backseat is actually not that bad. ( I heard from a friend.)
