What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

With as much as I hate interacting with people face to face, this is my heaven.

 

"LEGS", that's freaking amazing!

 

Loaded up more scrap metal today. Anyone around CT around want some cargo nets?

Must be willing to pick up though…

They’re the ones covering all the scrap metal.

If you plan on cutting them up like I did, there is no reason to buy this set. Just buy rails where ever you can get them cheapest and cut them down. I cut four pieces 7” 22” 18” 7” from front to rear to fit the spacing required for the anchor clamp positions of the Ultra-Flex rail.

 

May the iFORCE be with you!

 

If I would have known how long it was going to take me to get it done well, I might not have done it. I want to put L-truck on top of my bed rails to attach a custom recumbent trike rack but this may have changed my mind.

 

Splitting logs to fill up the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong bed

 

How you like those ridge grapplers?

 

Rigged up a handheld radio mount ahead of Tundras 2 Sedona:

 

what mount did you use?

 

This is the main mount, which got attached to an old phone mount I had laying around that works with my dash ball I use with a newer mount. Seems like it’s on there pretty solid.

dash ball?

 

It’s what these use. The ball part sticks to the dash and the magnetic part clamps onto the ball. I kept the part that mounts to the dash for some of the other holders I’ve used over the years.

Nice! My first Baofeng was delivered today - haven’t even turned it on yet!

 

It took me 4.5hours to install the tank.

 

I wonder if this will mess up the truck's computer when it estimates the MPG, range, etc.

By the way, what company is this?
Edit: It seems like it's a TransferFlow

 

Yup! TransferFlow. MPG is down, and the range is about 600 miles full tank.

 

Hey where's your pic taken at?

 

Social Tunnel along the Imogene Pass trail just above Telluride, CO. I was leaving for Colorado the day after we met up which is why your bumper cap is still sitting in the corner of my garage! Thanks again. You going to Tundras 2 Sedona in October?

 

What’s the spec on those?

 

@Torque and @Long Duck Dong do one of you mind sending me the link for the USB outlet that is plug and play. Many Thanks

 

It is not 600 meter???

 

I wish. I don't think I can get time off work.

 

Reverse / back-up lights:
Big write-up for a small change, but here you go.
https://www.vleds.com/7440-6-ho-2.html
The stock incandescent bulbs are 21 watts (which at ~14LM per watt rate about 300LM) with color temp around 3.5k
VLED says their bulbs are 1500LM with color temp at 5k.
As a note, I have Vvivid light smoke tint over the reverse lights. It didn't seem to affect light output much prior to the bulb switch, but I don't have pics of the difference. I changed the bulbs due to old and foggy eyes, not the tint.

True security bolts will help as well.

 

Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter attached to iPad. It can connect both lightning and USB-A cable simultaneously. I connect external DAC to USB-A. This way I can use DAC while charging iPad.

Took me far to long to figure out what I was looking at. At first I thought it was an upside down view under your radio but the radio was right side up. The sun screen threw me off.

 

Added the AVS Auto Ventshades to the gas pig yesterday after giving her a bath. So far very pleased. $47.20 off of Amazon

 

Hahaha, yes it looks like a trick art
