What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Got the Bakflip and Bedrug installed yesterday. Love the Bedrug, so much easier on this old body than the existing Rhino lining.
Not the best pic.

 

How do you do all that in the snow?? Yikes!

 

Added Tech 12volts auto start. Great product and fantastic customer service! Highly recommend buying from them! Also preordered HRS tail lights. Their sight says maybe they will be in stock before 2/30/22.

 

Friend with a garage. It did cost me a few whiskeys, but he provided the pizza.

 

busy few days and great work. Truck looks fantastic.

 

I took some time to replace the Tundra's hollow front sway bar with the solid TRD version. It took longer than anticipated as I had to get the TRD skid plate off. Overall, a quick and easy job and it does tighten up the roll a bit and might even help with diving. I'll have to drive it more to get the full experience.

Using the garage that's never used as a garage - tight fit!



Had to remove the skid plate.



Job complete!



TRD plate has some touch up required to get rid of that surface rust from the tow hooks and some frame rust in the same spot before it's reinstalled.






Also lots of surface rust here:

 

Seems like a decent amount of rust for a 21, but maybe it’s just me. NOVA definitely has some humidity though too.

 

SHEW - I say that’s a TIGHT fit !!

Yea TOO Dam much RUST. For a 21- that’s that DAM salt brine shit for ya

Have you tried a Woolwax treatment?

 

I just bought this '21 and it's the first time I've been under it. At least it has a 3-yr warranty.

 

I got my ‘21 last December so I never had the opportunity to spray it with fluid film before it’s first winter. Mine had rust in the same spot when I took the tow hooks off to have them powder coated. I just took a wire brush to that spot then sprayed it with paint before I reinstalled the hooks.

 

what drawer is that ? I like it !

 

Hola D3VA!

 

Took advantage of a RARE 56 degree DEC day in MD !!

Full wash wax detail - DONE !!

 

If I waxed my truck today, the doors wouldn't open for the next couple of weeks. It is too cold to do any of that right now. Don't worry about the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion, when it gets down this low it is pretty much the same thing.

 

Man ole man, I have been working on the Yota like crazy since I got the ole Rona. I swapped out to the black trim and had my girlfriend sew the leather on it. I also did the radio knob, DIY center console charger, swapped the rear plug to USB, and plan on putting the SDHQ ABS guards on tomorrow (Pics tomorrow).

On a side note, I noticed that the steering wheel trim pieces come with the right side open. I contacted AJT to see if they can send an insert, if they can't what have others done to cover it?

 

AJT sells the inserts.

Hey Brother! Almost went Cement but couldn't give up the MGM!

 

Hey,
I’m planning to do this exactly where/tire combo except in 18 inch. How’s it ride so far? Do you wish you when small tire size? Do you have a matching spare 35 inch and does it fit under the bed?

Thank you! Looks awesome!

 

Nice work! So the TRD Pro doesn't come stock with the TRD front sway bar? Kind of ironic, isn't it? Does it come stock on anything, or does it just exist as an OEM add-on? I guess I just assumed that a TRD Pro would come with all the TRD things...

 

sounds like it comes stock on some of the sequoias. Just not in red.

 

Correct this '21 Tundra TRD Pro did not come with solid red TRD sway bars. Someone will know, but it may have been a factory option not selected on this build.

ETA - For clarity, this did come with the standard (hollow) front sway bar. I replaced the hollow bar with the solid TRD bar.

 

I think it's standard on TRD Sport's. I could be wrong though...

 

Tundradude34 has a video about the rear TRD pro sway bar. He said that it actually has a negative impact on the ride quality when the truck has fox TRD pro suspension on it. I guess to each his own but you can check out his YouTube video for more clarity. The TRD pro does not come with the rear sway bar.

 

Pro comes with the smaller hollow front sway bar, just like most other trims. Only the TRD Sport gets the beefy front sway bar, and it also gets the rear sway bar. Any other trim you have to buy the rear one yourself

 

Installed the Teton Workshop shifter which I like so far. Keeps my black and blue theme going.


Also installed the Console Vault half Safe in the center console.


My AJT chrome delete came in as well, but I need more time to install that. Happy New Year everyone!

 

Got the old school TRD Pro grille and matching hood bulge for Christmas. Went with the older style because I think it suits my 2016 better.

Didn't get seat jackers for a gift, so ordered those and they should be arriving this week. So ready for those!

Will soon be prepping for my suspension install. I am going to need to trim the factory skid and order bumper shims. Pro Truck 2.0 suspension and RAS sitting in my living room and ready to install once I get the prep work and bumper shims installed. No real rush as my OR suspension is still working well.

 

Lovely shifter! I was going to get that in the same scheme until I got lucky and found a Tomahawk shifter. Look forward to seeing the update once you get the other chrome delete stuff installed

 

Came on my 2020 Sport

 

You're not wrong. The TRD sway bars were standard for the TRD Sport Package.
