What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

The CM has it. The DC does not.

 

The DC has the center window that used to be powered. It's manual now. The CM has the entire back window that comes down.

 

Guess they stopped it in 2019 or 2020 because my 2018 has it.

 

Updated HU software this morning in 20 minutes.

 

Applied some stickers! LOL I like the way it looks though. TVD vinyl wheel decals. That personally took me longer than I would’ve liked, but having built a room in my garage and now working out of a large shed in the backyard, there’s a little more footwork involved. Plus nursing this damn hernia. One wheel at a time washing then applying the decals using the wet methed. Definitely took me some time to get them placed how I liked and to where they would no longer move.

 

Ok, that beats my nerd software update.... atleast it got a bath too!

 

Actually I need to wash the entire truck but I’m worried I will mess up the stickers before they completely cure. Still has bug guts from my last trip to AZ

I took the wheels off one at a time, brought them into the backyard for some shade and went to work.

 

Depends on the trim level.

 

Before I get pelted with 'WTF are you doing to your precious truck' flames - - I know, and I'm sorry...

Do those stickers stay on after being subjected to the automatic wheel brush at the car wash?

 

all crewmax have power widow and the entire window rolls down, the double cab only have a small sliding window. Not sure when/if they did away with power control for the small sliding window on double cab

 

I do not, but I can tell you it was in the void sandwiched between an inner and outer layer of kilmat

 

Too early for me to know. But I’ve only taken my truck through an automatic car wash once before the stickers were applied. I was incapable of getting it done myself at the time due to sciatic issues. As long as you let them cure for 7 to 14 days before you take it through the car wash, I think they would be OK. I would definitely be careful with the pressure washer though. Definitely make sure you go back over them and make sure all the edges are pushed down well during the curing time.

 

Nothing new, just sit'n pretty, haha...

 

They see me rolling, They hating, trying to catch me riding dirty....

 

Hard for me to tell, is your truck black, or MGM? I love those colors wheels.

 

Black!

 

Yeah it looks strange. My friend installed two switches in his forerunner and they fit like a glove

 

If it's one thing I would've liked on my 19 is that rear window to slide with the push of a button

 

The little rear window is powered and slides with the push of a button on my '21 double cab TRD Pro. It's trim specific for the double cabs.

 

Very cool..

 

Been there, done that. Not fun. But the truck needs attention, so truck gets attention!

Truck is looking good!

 

That's crazy! Never seen anything like it, but pretty f'ing cool.

 

Which towing mirrors did you go with? Did previous mirrors has bsm?

 

I had only ordered 4 of my machined finish Method 301's, they discontinued my wheel finish a few months later....So my 5th wheel is a Method 306 in black - same diameter and offset. I regret not getting a matching 5th when i had ordered my wheels 5 years ago

 

I had those exact decals on my truck for about 9 months. I used a heat gun to knock down the edges on the vinyl and they never missed a beat through multiple power washer washes and *ahem* maybe a few automatic washes. Only took them off when I sold the wheels.

 

I did hit it with a heat gun, but I’m thinking of going over it one more time now that they’ve had time to adhere better.

 

Thank you. Probably going to have to try them.

 

hooked directly up to factory wiring from my Kenwood HU which I believe is also 4 ohm output so they will match - The front dash speakers are not controlled from the amp in the factory stereo/wiring so those are independent of my aftermarket amps.

 

Maybe you can answer a question I have. Let's suppose your springs flex from terrain or load and contact the factory bump stop. At that point isn't it pushing the spring down further than the factory design limit? Would that not flatten and ruin the springs? Please educate me if you can explain why or why not.
