What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sick truck! What was the cost, if you don't mind sharing?

 

Beaumont, TX area. Quite a few shops around here but price has been the same everywhere I've asked.

 

Guess it just varies from area to area, probably get a better price up in Houston or that area but, I'll probably hop over to Louisiana and ask around see what prices I get.

 

I'm in corpus, try 4wheel specialties

 

Nice! I’d like to do the same. I don’t mind the matte chrome grill on my Limited, just want to get rid of the other chrome.

We’re you able to source the surround separate?

 

Added some ditch lights using the caliraised mounts. Also purchased a metal filter housing and fumoto drain valve. Doing the oil change this weekend.

 

I called Midas to see if they can resurface rotors and they said, “yes no problem.” So I removed the fronts of the truck and found some seriously over used pads.(my fault) then I took the rotors to Midas and sure enough the fucks said no we don’t have the tool for that. I was like wtf bro, I just called and you said you can do it. They then told me to call another shop and sure enough the guy has the tools for it, but told me since it was a tundra just to get new rotors. I can understand that if I was using stock rotors, but I have slotted frozen rotors which weren’t cheap and the rotors have enough thickness to get resurfaced. So I gave up for now on that and decided to buy new rotors online. To my surprise I found the new power slot cryo rotors for sale at tire rack for a great price. So I just ordered them and using orange stuff pads when I get the new rotors. So if you are looking for some good rotors for a great price go to tire rack now. The frozen rotors website is selling the same ones for basically $200 more. I made sure to check model numbers first and they match. I need better than stock brakes cause my rig is heavy with all its gear, armor and sitting on 37s. Hopefully this helps someone in need of an upgrade. Now if I can get someone to resurface the other ones I will have a spare set of nice rotors.

 

Nice find on the rotors. You need to charge your phone!

 

I got the same rotors, I've had them for almost a year, so far soo good

 

Sweet. What pads did you go with?

 

I have the StopTech Sport cryo treated on mine. They are much better than the crappy PowerStops that I had previously.

 

curious, how does that oil differ from the mobile one?

 

It's just a store brand that is cheaper than Mobil 1.

 

Don't forget to swap the center support tubes out!

 

Went a different route with the truck. Pulled them out of powder coat and am going to sell them. PM if interested.

 

The guy that manages the auto service department at my Walmart swears that Mobil 1 supplies the Super Tech Brand of full synthetic for Walmart. That doesn't necessarily mean its the same however he is adamant that Mobil 1 supplies them. It does cost a lot less than the name brands. I haven't tried it but I am definitely curious to hear from some that have.

 

Noticed everyone was asking the cost question and he had already answered it, so figured I would quote everyone and put his answer below.

 

Definitely! I will do it once I relive the old one.

 

From everything I’ve read, it’s just as good as mobile 1 but costs about $8 less per 5qt jug. Plus the mobile1 seems to always be out of stock everywhere.

 

Dirt therapy.

 

I have been using Super Tech Oils (Walmart) for a few years now, seems fine to me.

 

New OEM grill/surround/garnish and plasti-dipped caps. Gotta stop spending money, but next up (in due time): TRD Pro exhaust, bull bar w/ lights, and definitely new rubber

 

New tires. Falken Wildpeak AT3w 275/70/18

 

I got some green EBC pads

 

I've been running Rotella, couldn't be happier

 

New wheels.

 

Pro center caps

 

Limited grill with color matched surround looks clean

Installed the Gap Seat Filler thingamajig today. Not that I ever really drop stuff/junk between the seats but it has happened once or twice.

Also got these led lights to install. I want to see if I can use them to give the footwell area a little bit of light. Don’t want them to be too bright, really going for a soft dim look, so hopefully these will do the job. If not I might have to dip them with some smoke Plasti-dip.
