What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Finally installed my lift! Woohoo!

 

My son did a drawing on my dusty canopy rear glass.

"Shark on a Fly"... age 7 while balancing on the bumper.

 

Installed my proholder, seems sturdy enough.

 

I installed my 30" Rough Country black light bar, did it without removing the bumper. Wasn't bad at all once I modified the brackets. I was really hating the factory stereo head unit, so I went with the JVC KW-Z1000W.

What a game changer, 10.1" screen with Android auto and screen mirroring. Tremendous sound quality and if you install the Maestro unit you can keep your backup camera and steering wheel controls, next up is the light bar for the bulge and the remote trigger system.

 

You guys are making me poor.

 

I spy beaver tail

 

Bwahahaha...Good eye!

 

Is that the heat that he is packing?

 

Many thanks! Most excellent music...

 

Never without my 1911 or AR pistol...

 

High temps, sun exposure and high alkaline soil/dust make it tough on paint...

 

First DIY oil change in the Tundra. Installed an

MOCW oil filter drain to make life easier. Used Kirkland Signature 0W-20 synthetic.

A few thoughts:

1. The stock SR5 skid plate is lame. You shouldn’t have to remove a skid plate to change a filter.
2. Valvoline Instant Oil Change is lame. They changed the oil last time. I had to remove the oil filter drain plug with a bench vice and ratchet with probably 80 ft lbs of torque. I’m surprised no damage was done when they replaced the last filter.
3. Fumoto valves are not lame. I made a huge mess without it this first time.
   
4. Motivx is not lame.
   
5. The oil filter drain is not lame. Though I didn’t use it because Valvoline Instant Oil Change is lame.
6. All of the accessories I purchased added up $, but they sure make life easier. The combined price was about the cost of one oil change. And now I can do it myself for $25 quickly with no mess.

 

Put another 350+/- miles on the truck driving around NW Montana.

Just received my Motivx stuff in the mail today.
Their packaging is like a nice watch!
I’ll be ordering from them just for the quality in that alone.

 

Waiting for mine. Wonder how many customers this forum has sent their way.

 

Thats funny.
I think that a lot when ordering stuff I see here.
I actually sent an email to see if they had a Tundras.com promo code.

 

You got a valve in for your plug. Contemplating the Valvomax one, but kinda freaks me out. I haven’t heard of any issues but…..

 

Added some decals. The tundra one is white reflective. Still not sure about it yet. Almost went with red instead since the bed decal is red and white.

 

I agree! But the reviews and mess I had to clean up convinced me otherwise.

 

Form fitting foam for a socket, a funnel, a brass fitting and a tube.
I’m a fan of quality products.

Good stuff.

 

Dang!! Fancy. Was there a bottle of cognac in there as well?

 

I better double check.

 

5FDP and 1911s. We might be brothers!

 

Bwahahaha Roger that!

 

I’d love to get my hands on the platinum specific dash pad. I will pay + trade my 21’ black Limited pad. Air vent can be included or removed. I can’t post in the marketplace yet

Nice! Say hi to the neighbors lol.

 

Wait until you drive with it and it has the phone weight on it. It will shake so bad that you wont even be able to look at it. That thing is horrible. A couple of us here have it. Their website doesn't exist either. I had to cut mine up and use JB Weld to make it useable. Mine does not shake at all now, but I can't adjust it any longer either.
