What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Haven't had it happen. But I'd go 1 of 2 routes next oil change.
1. Buy an aluminum oil filter housing and swap out that one.
2. When taking off the housing, set it up in a vice or something to hold the housing and get that plug piece off....carefully

 

How’d you go about that? I vaguely remember seeing something before.

 

Yes - when the techs at the dealer ship decide to use that square drive and an impact to put your filter housing on.

 

Contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331. Tell them you want to opt out of Connected Services. Just need your vin #

 

Thank you all for the advice…very helpful!

 

I did that too when purchasing all of my late model Toyota’s. I’ve been a motorist for decades without it. I’m all about right to privacy. It probably still transmits anyways. Lol.

 

Nice! Definitely going to do that for peace of mind, or at least make it more difficult on their end to sell, track, share all my information.

 

Ordered the updated Vleds non-RF cargo lights and Muthco signal mirrors.

 

Also ran the wiring harness for my S8.

 

Dropped her off at the dealer a few hours ago to have the fuel pump recall and a vin verification done. Hope all goes well since there’s a guy on here that reported them forgetting to reconnect the fuel tank filler hose after he had his done. What a disaster!

 

After doing the 3in suspension w/ 35s shes rubbing on full turn so ordered some body mount plates to weld on....looks really good hope to have installed within next 2 days

 

Installed a TRD airflow accelerator and the TRD air filter (washable type).

 

$12 stubby from eBay

 

Unsolicited advice:

I still have a service contract too; but there are a few threads about these, and I'll likely be including them in my toolbox/on the truck when that ends:

Did you notice anything after install?

 

This was completed a couple days after this post. Just kept forgetting to take a picture. These tires made my stock ones look like matchbox car tires.




Removed front mud flaps. Installed coach builder bumper shims and pushed liner forward.

Perfect amount of poke. Also installed my SS3 Pro fog lights.

Set the cruise for 79 on the way home. Didn't think to check speed on my phone gps for awhile. Ended up was going 83-84. So... Hypertech speedometer calibrater.

 

I have to order these. I put Diode Dynamics bulbs in, and it hosed up keyless smart entry. Now I have two 92 lumen 194 bulbs that'll net me $10 for returning. If anyone has a 3rd-gen with manual door locks, they can have them.

 

I noticed a little more growl but didn't get a chance to stomp on it in the neighborhood.... On a positive note nothing fell off either...

Just a side note...my neighborhood is a Tundra neighborhood... there are 9 Tundra's and prolly more than that Tacoma's... A lot of 4runners and Highlanders... Better than 2 to 1 Toyota to Ford. But there are too many Kia's to count...HUGE Kia dealer about 1.5 miles away...

 

SS Built Front and Rear bumpers, now I just need to add the S2 pro's in the rear. The customer service is top notch with Stephen and his team.

 

Finally installed one. Had my Pro for three years and bemoaned not having one. Just wish it could have come in chrome

 

Installed my ptt/mic vent holder.

 

Body mount chop, 35x12.5x17 and Camburg UCAs.

 

Installed the Gator SFX soft tri-fold tonneau cover today. So far so good, easy install and seems well built.

 

Good value. I have pooling by the cab, mostly on the passe ger side. Just a minor annoyance. Still water tight

 

I can’t decide if I want to upgrade to a trd pro grille or the trd pro led headlights first.

 

It seems to me that your sway bar has lost a nut

 

Thanks

 

Installed the tailgate lock. I used the video that @TBoe1776 shared, thanks for that, man. Took me about 45 minutes. Most of that was fighting with the one tab on the passenger kick panel, it’s still not attached. I gave up and will look at it another day. Super easy instal overall.

 

ESR MagSafe wireless charger mated with a Course Motorsports Tundra ball mount. Course now has their own MagSafe charger.

 

Looks killer! Those are sharp, purpose-built bumpers! Well done!
