What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Is this the safe you were scoping out in the marketplace?

 

I installed the Valhalla front cat cover today (powder coated steel).

Thanks Tyler @Classy63 for making a high quality product. Despite the long lead time, I am very happy with it. It arrived with one fairly deep scratch and a couple skimmed edges, but a little touch up will fix that. Overall, packaging was very good and fitment is excellent. I need to drop some bucks on the rear cover next.

Also thanks to @Netmonkey for posting the installation tips. Does anyone have a torque spec for the mounting bolts? I tightened until I achieved just a bit of plate deflection, but a spec would be helpful, if available.

 

No rubbing! These are amazing tires, I highly recommend!

 

I'm sure they are, my go to are BFgoodrich T/A KO2's

 

Indeed it is.

 

Washed, clay bar, polish, then I applied way too much paste wax. That was a long day.

 

Congrats. You might want to post the torque question in the Valhalla thread.

Added white vinyl letters.

 

Glad it worked out.

 

Paid it off tonight

 

Best mod you can do!!

 

Happy Father’s Day to all.
New mud flaps from https://rokblokz.com/collections/tr...ucts/toyota-tundra-mud-flaps-mud-guards-08-14
What a difference between stock and new flaps

 

A great feeling.

 

Attempted this. Aborted after fuel lines and parking brake required more new cross member bar modifications and I was frustrated.

 

Removed the blacked out Iforce badge. I like the cleaner look, my lady says I should have left it

 

Installed fire extinguisher on my Desert Does It bracket. Didn't expect it to fit on the back side. Even more out of the way now.

 

Finished the air system install. Finally. This is an update to post #57,226. My husband asked for a drawing of how the components are connected to help him troubleshoot any problems that pop up in the future. Thought I’d share the drawing and key pics to help explain what was installed.



For incoming air, the lines were run along the passenger side frame rail and the filters themselves mounted to the inside of the S&B air box. This location will reduce any chance of water getting into the filters and cut down on the dust.


The two air compressors are installed in a Ridgid job box located in the bed of the truck. A location of where to put the compressors is by far the one item I stewed over the longest. There wasn’t enough room under the bed but I thought long and hard about mounting them to the passenger side frame rail. Even went so far as to buy the U-bolts and mounting plate to put them on the frame but I really wasn’t happy with that location. Ultimately the job box made the most sense though I hate giving up the storage space. The cage is made from 1” extruded aluminum and SS screen and keeps the misc tools & supplies off the compressors. If the compressors need to run for more than a minute or two then I’ll open the lid of the box to vent the heat.



Details of the water filters, air tank, manifold, extended pressure valve, drain cock, and Schrader valves can be found at post #57,226. Here’s a few pics for reference:



The pressure gauge for the air tank is located in a custom switch panel below the A/C controls. Info on the panel can be found at post #55,462.



All air lines up to this point run at max 145psi. The air bags can only handle up to 90psi. In order to protect them, a regulator is used to ensure pressure to the bags never exceed 85 psi. A check valve also protects the bags from losing all pressure if there is a failure in any other part of the system. This was proven to work when I dumped air out of the tank and pressure to the bags held steady.

The regulator and gauge for the air bags are installed on the lip of a Tuffy security insert in the center console:



The last items are the paddles switches and dual-needle pressure gauge. I decided on individual paddle switches for the driver and passenger air bags. There is a storage/sleeping/dog platform in the back of the cab and the individual paddle switches allow me to level the truck from left & right. The air lines are run behind the dash and are mounted into the dash trim.

 

Impressive setup

 

Thanks. For a while there I was worried I’d bitten off more than I could handle.

 

Happy Father’s Day all! Updated to TRD Pro LED headlights this morning before the temps hit 100! Fairly straight forward but one tip - DRL’s don’t come on when the parking brake is engaged. Couldn’t figure that out for a while when I was ready to put it back together. Thanks @iHacker for the harness.

 

That's freaking cool. I have no interest in airbags, but this has gotta be one of the cleanest, nicest set ups I've seen done.

 

Got some parts installed Friday.

 

Better than stock suspension. Very very pleased. Seem soft and soaks of large bumps better. Worth every penny.

 

Had that same exact setup, JBA's and all, on my 4Runner. Very good and reliable setup.

 

Is there anyway to like this post more then once?! Amazing job, very clean install.

 

She sent you to Mars?

 

To the moon, Alice! Straight to the moon!

 

Getting ready to install my cheap Amazon console safe today. Did y’all have to bend the one corner out?

How many of you have repainted or touched these up? The paint sure does look awful. Flaking off in two spots:
