What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I got my FOX Shocks 2.5 with reservoirs installed this past week. They lifted the truck about 2" in total so its all nice and level now.

And I just ordered a new center console latch to repair the one my kids broke.

 

Yes, I used the rubber bumpers on the back of the flat stock holding my recovery boards. Had to switch to longer bumpers once I added the washer and got it into place. I don't have anything behind the shovel/axe mounts. They both seem pretty light but I'll keep my eye on them and I might have to get some long bumpers, if they exist. If you find something for your mounts, please let me know.

These are the T nuts I bought

 

That rack is awesome! Would you share details please?

 

New grill from fellow forum member, new rear brake pads, winter tires on. Tomorrow it gets it's annual undercarriage NH oil application.

 

Relocated my SPOD behind the crappy STILLEN CAI, installed onboard air with the wifey system from RAGO, upgraded to the factory LED headlights, had them wrapped with XPEL plus to prevent sun fade, installed the radium oil catch cans, had to improvise the mounting due to the crappy STILLEN CAI being in the way. installed the Jowett oil filter housing and scrubbed the undercarriage with chemical guys undercarriage cleaner.

What lift do you have? any trimming?

 

Thanks for the compliments. I basically copied @junior rack design and build. All the details can be found here:

Best.

 

New grill looks great ! Just curious, are you doing the NH Oil application yourself or do you go to a place that you would recommend ? I am in Western MA also and have considering doing it as well.

 

Bought another mod.. Had been holding off because I wasn't sure if I was going to trade it in on a new Sequoia, but the new Turd gen isn't giving me much hope. So I bought some Alpharex Tail lights.

Can't wait

 

Not a mod but I hit 'Freedom' miles today on my way to work

 

Bought a new to me 4x4 tundra, moving from tacomaworld over here. Don't try to convince me to get a supercharger because i'm not interested in it. Or atleast thats what my wife wants to hear.

 

Spoiler

Supercharger

JK congrats!

 

Welcome to the WWW of Tundras....Wonderful wacky world

 

Nice looking setup. Love my Wifey system. Got some components from Rago, but pieced my own kit with bigger tubes, better connectors, dual gauge manifold, and such. I thought their kit was good, but could be better. Actually I think they just upgraded their kit to include bigger tubes so at least their learning.

 

Would you share some pictures of your setup?

 

Some of the notable upgrades:

• Added a 1 gallon tank under the hood
• Added a 3 gallon tank under the truck
• Added an air hose connector under the rear bumper to easily reach trailer tires.
• 2 gauges, one 0-60 for airing tires and the other 0-160 for air tools
• Used 3/8” air lines
• Ran the wheel well air lines from the tanks and not the compressor

 

Oil change #2 at 2200 miles, did a small oil flush as well.

 

Got rid of the awful interior chrome trim on the center console area. This stuff was constantly reflecting the sun and blinding me while driving. I didn’t delete all the chrome in the cab, just the stuff that catches the sun.

 

Installed my ditch brackets and ditch lights. Not wired yet because it started to rain on me.

 

Order placed. Now just have to wait 97 days for my build date.

 

What exhaust is that? The system of choice for most of us is DirtyDeeds.

 

Stainless Works dual muffler, dual 4 inch tips. I wanted to try a dual muffler setup and almost went TRD exhaust but figure this was a little more unique.

 

Wired up the RC ditch lights

 

Should I pull the trigger? Anyone who has done this what are the benefits over stock? I don’t off-road, tow occasionally, and my alignment is OK other than wanting a little more caster any input would be helpful!

 

Their sole purpose is to allow better alignment specs. Factory arms are good to about a 3 inch lift. Anything more than 3" then you should replace them with aftermarket. These are a good price as the SPC arms are now right at $700.

 

yeah I am right at 3” of front lift. I guess what I’m wondering is what will i notice as far as drive/ride difference with these and more caster? Last alignment i’m at about .1 toe per side, .2 camber, and around 2.3 caster and from what I’m seeing I need to be around 3 degrees + on caster.

 

You won't feel a ride difference but a good alignment would ensure a more even tire wear pattern and longer life.

 

Cali raised ditch lights out for delivery tomorrow, ought to be interesting poking through my firewall

 

Yep for sure. My tires seem to wearing fine and truck tracks straight - I know tire wear mainly comes from camber and toe but I have heard some say they notice a more stable drive with these and better straight line tracking and makes the steering a little “heavier” at higher speeds, which honestly I’ve always thought my steering was a little on the light side.
