What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nope. I've got Geico and while the experience wasn't at all terrible...I may look around or go back to USAA after this.

So I called Geico to get a claim started; they guided me to Safelite, as expected. Safelite said "Oh yea, for that windshield, it'll require a 'static' replacement, which means you have to drive 1.5 hours to our closest shop to replace it."



I called the shop maybe a MILE from the dealership and they said "Uh...yeah, we're a preferred shop for Geico, call them and tell them you're bringing it to us."

Called Safelite back and the lady said "Oh yeah....missed that shop."



Do they even do that "Replacement if the crack repair fails" stuff anymore? Both Geico's and USAA's website show that you pay the deductible for a new windshield.

 

That's about what the cost is. I dropped it off at 7:30 that morning, and they were done around 11 or so.

 

Has anyone noticed that the trucks compass (in the gauge cluster information display screen) a couple years ago was an arrow pointed in direction of travel, then about a year ago it went to displaying a truck in direction of travel, and yesterday I noticed it went back to a red arrow?

Am I missing something here, or are these 'over the air' updates we have no control over?

 

That was my plan. I agree I think it’s better to do that then pull the assembly out.

 

That's what I did last night. Was able to do front and rear in about 10 minutes. Easy peasy.

 

I think the windshield deductible depends which state. My daughter was driving from ATL and took a rock thrown by a semi near N Augusta. Insurance asked if it happened in GA or in SC and I asked why does it matter. They said I’d have to pay deductible if it happened in GA.

 

so youre saying it happened in SC?

(lol)

 

I think what you’re seeing is two different modes. The arrow indicates compass direction, the truck indicates direction of travel. They are different modes/settings.

 

Interesting. I have State Farm and don’t pay that much for the windshield coverage. With it, I get 3 replacements a year covered by insurance. I usually go through 2 a year in CO and I think that’s average. Had the same coverage when I live in VA though.

 

Yup. Wife has one in her Sienna. Does not work well on my Note20 with Otterbox Defender case. When I take the case off it charges very slowly.

 

I have USAA and my tundra has been sitting with a crack running down the center. With USAA you have to pay a deductible for windshield replacement. Haven't had it replaced because installed 3M ceramic film on it and I just can't justify replacing the windshield and getting the film redone. So I am living with it for now.

 

Windshield coverage depends on where you live, your carrier, and your specific insurance plan.

I’ve lived places where insurance wouldn’t cover windshield separately because pea gravel was used on the roads in the winter and it was pretty much impossible not to have to replace - they pumped it into comprehensive at the full deductible. Other places, they were required to provide it with no deductible as a “critical vehicle safety feature.”

Currently, on my vehicles, it’s covered in my comprehensive policy but with a $100 deductible along with all the other windows. We had to use it on my daughters car just before Christmas when someone broke into it.

 

I believe this is what we have in AZ. It has been on every policy I've had through different carriers and always with a $0 deductible.

 

Just bought one too, they have an additional 16% off right now to sweeten the deal.

 

I would like to see some pics of this truck!

 

What’s your total lift for the rear? Have pics of your ride? I’m running Toytec shackles now at 1.5 and adding their progressive AAL.. AAL supposed to add 1.5” by itself, but with their shackle, I’ll be at 2.5 or 3”.

 

I'm at 2 to 2 1/4 in the rear. What are you running in the front?

 

sayyyy wutttttt?!?! How are the modes used/selected?

 

Off top of my head I can’t recall exactly. Do you have factory navigation? If so, it might be tied to how you have the map view set. With “north always up” i think you get the red arrow and with “navigation view” or whatever it’s called, you get the truck.

I’m not near my truck right now, so I can’t exactly confirm that, but I think it’s something like that

 

Toytec aluma 2.5 coilovers

 

Ok...same as mine. Unless you want rake, you may have to drop the shackles down to the 1 inch setting. I would install the leaf and then see what it settles at after a few weeks. Did you get new ubolts? Don't reuse the old ones.

 

Yeah I got new u-bolts and everything. Carrier drop too to install. Did you raise up the front at all? Have any pics of your ride?

 

@Spyker Hit 'Map' on the HU. When the settings blade pops out from the left of the screen, the icon at the top will cycle you through 3 different modes; two of which orient the map to your truck's direction (a 2D and 3D version of this mode), which make the icon in the dash a Tundra. The default mode leaves the map pointing north, and the dash icon is a pointer pointing to the compass direction you're travelling.

 

I have the Aluma 2.5's in mine.

Hornblasters? If so, I have the same one and installed it in about the same location. Love it.

 

looks good! Did you have to raise the front up any more or left it how it was when you got it. I know they typically set it at 3”

 

Right on, Thanks!

 

I took the factory steps off of the Platinum today as the first step in the chrome delete. I went with some N-Fab steps for now. They will more than likely be upgraded to something a little nicer in the future but these will work for now. The chrome steps had to go and I hated how they didn't offer much footing. It seemed as though they were way too close to the body.
Before:

After:


Color matched door handles and mirror caps will be up next.

I also added a little tri color to the grill.


I've had numerous Toyotas over the years but this one is by far my favorite. This forum has given me tons of ideas but I'm afraid the wife and my wallet are gonna hate me for it. The major mods will have to wait for a bit until I finish building the KRX.

 

Coolant exchange and finally installed my Mishimoto rad hoses. If you’re hesitant to drain the block don’t be - with the right extensions it was easy.
