What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Got my TRD Pro lights installed and I love them...iHacker was awesome with his product, shipping, and help!

This forum is such a great community...unbelievable what happens when people come together to help each other out!

 

Looks great...that is next on my list!

 

Running boards today

 

Thanks, I did the PRO lights with ihaker harness earlier this summer, so I know where you're coming from! This forum is so awesome, but heavy on the wallet! Lol

 

Seriously...every time I think I am close....BAM!!!!...another mod and more money! My wife came outside when I had the grill off changing the lights rolled her eyes and went back in!

 

Raced home after work after I saw my DD 8” system was delivered

 

AJT makes a part that just snaps over it…

 

Those are Tuffskins - it’s is quality but they catch A LOT of junk - only thing I don’t like about them.

 

Throttle body coolant bypass - was a real catch 22 since it’s finally cooling down enough to get it done, but it probably would have been more beneficial during the summer.

Used the long hose for the bypass and the short hose to keep the inlets closed off from debris.

 

Home Sweet Home!

Finally it’s in the Driveway…..Let the Mods Begin!

 

What's in the boxes?!

 

The Brushed Stainless Steel Steps, 2 Boxes are the Dual Exhaust w/Black Chrome Tips, All Weather Mats, and the Color Matched Hood Bulge.

Color Marched Surround/Older Pro Style Grille should arrive tomorrow or Thursday!

 

That's awesome! Jealous on the dual exhaust and black chrome tips, that's mt second to next mod after DD pro yellow fog lights.

 

Congrats, you no f around.

 

Congrats, very nice truck!!

 

@Lost in the East, Nice Ride! What sliders are on there? Where did you find the Ray10s?

 

@James07 SDHQ Sliders. Moving the gas tank was a PIA, but it was worth it. It took me around 6 months of monitoring the SCS website last year. The easiest way is to follow Stealth Custom Series on Instagram. They usually announce the drop date and items available.

 

Small beans, but I installed my custom fabricated shift knob on my '21 Platinum CrewMax.

A guy on Etsy who specializes in Miata custom shift knobs did one up for me for my Tundra.
He charged around $70 bucks with a $10 customization fee added on due to the special order.
He turned an aluminum insert, threaded it (m8x1.25 thread for the Tundra), and inserted it into a beautifully lathe turned multi-colored wooden knob.
He included a handy set screw lock to ensure the orientation I wanted (even included the allen wrench!)

It's much nicer than the plastic-y stock knob, and it feels great in hand.

The guy's name is Tim and his Etsy page is here: CFCreationsShop
He was excellent to work with.

Wow, that looks pretty cool.

 

I would be interested in a brown leather wrapped shifter with light colored stitching, simple, 1794 style

 

Fresh oil change and finally got around to installing the new fog lights recently. Secured the fog light bumper trims to get rid of the fog light bounce/wobble as well while I was in there.

 

How did you like their process? I sold my 2013 to them last year...easy and relaxing.

 

Jealous! I would love to live up there again.

 

I have the 8" on mine. I did not use the resonator with mine.

 

Yes!....another young lady in the forum that likes mods!!

 

I liked it. I first tried to buy a truck from Vroom but they lost my down payment and I lost confidence. They eventually did find it and return it. Then I tried to buy one from CarMax, had it transferred up from south FL for a $199 transfer fee, it had a plastic drop in bedliner, when it got here the first thing I did was look under the liner, the bed was trashed, concrete patches embedded onto the bed, every inch scraped and scratch, and both wheel well humps and the front bed wall were majorly dented. They wouldn't do anything about it or reduce the price so I passed. Also the rear passenger door rear edge stood proud of the body and the panel gap was bigger than it should. They also wouldn't refund the $199 transfer fee so I am going to leave them a 1 star review with pictures if possible.

Then I went to Carvana, who I had also been searching on the whole time. I was looking at 2018s before but I bumped it up to include newer trucks and found this 2020, was a California truck (looks brand new underneath), still under factory warranty so I passed on whatever the Carvana warranty is, the process was very fast and painless. I started my 7 day test drive yesterday but I am going to keep it. I also found an undisclosed dent on the bottom of the tailgate (looks like maybe something fell in the crack when opening the tailgate and made a dent on the edge when the tailgate opened and pushed on it?) and Carvana has already set me up with a shop to get it fixed free of charge. Oddly, there were 3 or 4 little areas of disclosed damage in their photos (chips, etc..) that I can't find even though I have been looking!

Also there is no dealer fee with Carvana, vs $400 for the Carmax down here. So if I need to buy another car, hopefully not for a long time, I will definitely try Carvana again. I would give them 5 out of 5 stars based on my experience so far. Their financing wasn't as good as Carmax or my bank, so I just went with my bank and that was hassle free.

 

That’s the one I got. You’ll love it. I do quite a bit of highway driving (1000+ mile trips), so I installed the resonator.

 

Did you just drop the one side of the tank or move the whole thing? I need to do the same to get the last bolt in my sliders.

 

Did you use zip ties to secure them like most have, or something different?

 

@Bravohook How do you like the Open Range tires? I like the service and numerous locations of Schwab, but they are danged spendy.
