What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

1k oil change with Fumoto valve and metal filter cap put in, then I really went for it and successfully installed my Cat Shields front and rear and it was kind of interesting the two front holes where you need to drill already partially existed and only needed to widen them a little. The directions were actually spot on from Catshields after installing an aftermarket exhaust mod to my SeaDoo and then this really feeling productive to the nth degree this week

 

Just adjusted the settings on my Hypertech speedometer calibrator for the 37s I put on like a week or so ago. Also an alignment.

 

@RikkiBobbi That is a clean undercarriage for the weather we just had here in Texas.

 

well I have my ride share vehicle and I have my baby, baby didn't need to go out in the shit show since I was fully stocked and ready for another freeze buttttttttt I do have just in case snow chain/cables for all 4 tires and roll out tracks for if I get stuck, but I honestly just holed up for 2 days at home in the warm and didn't touch the roads till Friday but used my ubermobile since I was out hustling for the next new mod/add on for my Tundra or Seadoo

 

Do you have a link for the "wings" that cover the rear cats? I can't seem to find them on the Miller Cat Shield site...thanks!

 

Mine were from CatSecurity I think a different company
"Ultimate Protection" rear here's the link where I got mine

What tires are those? I like those, are they loud at all? Thanks

 

Look like KO2s to me. They arent loud in my opinion.

 

Finally got the Roadmaster active suspension system on. Lifted my truck about 1“ and dang, its a smooth ride, no wheel bounce going empty over train tracks. Will test em out in coming days pulling my equipment float. Am i glad i didnt settle for sumos or timbrens.
The road salt up here in Ontario is bad. Cant keep the undercarriage clean for too long.

 

Check this picture below from the AJT install video. The problem isn’t with getting all the small parts cut out, it’s with the back lighting. I doubt it would shine through black vinyl.

What I would do is just wrap everything matte black vinyl, then use my cricut to cut out the small pieces & stick them back ontop where they go. The cool part about doing it that way (like I did with my shifter area) is that you can make whatever you want, in whatever font you want. Or just make up a totally new design! Like you don’t need the blue & red line running necessarily, you can put anything there to indicate that’s the cold/hot knob. Totally custom. The cricut can handle something like that because you print it all separate & place it wherever you want it.

You can cut out the smaller holes on the buttons with the truck circulation, ac & defrost. That way they would shine through, but I doubt anything else would be illuminated at night if you covered it. Plus, if it did & you didn’t copy the exact design back ontop, it wouldn’t match up anyways.

You got me thinking though

 

Yeah it's a tough one for sure. I actually stopped at Michael's on the way home and looked at the Cricut machines. They had 3 or 4 different models. I swear a fifth of the store was rolls of Cricut vinyl at buy one and get on 50% off.

 

Lol I think I have the “air 2”? It’s paid for itself since I’ve had it. I got tired of paying for stickers on my truck, coolers etc. So now I just make whatever I want, custom size/color anything really.

Someone earlier said you have to have an account & can’t do custom logos or something. Idk I literally pull any image from google & if you know basic photoshop you’re good. I upload all my own images into it. I’ve never used the actual software other than for spacing or text entry.

 

Ordered a Vled footwell light kit on Friday and it showed up today. That is some quick shipping from Washington to Ma... I ordered a front kit, and 2 rear kits. I'm planning on sticking 2 of the lights in my under seat storage box.

 

That's the one I was looking at. It's on sale for $179

 

Not what I did but my truck surprised me today it now identifies as a Prius. Just in time for the rise in fuel prices.

 

So how steep was the grade you were neutraling down

 

7% with a tail wind.

 

Let's see it with your iPad on the mounts please.

 

Im still trying to figure out a better way. I pretty much back in everywhere, so I need to see the main screen. Those are the only pictures I guess I’ve taken, my son was in the truck that day haha

 

150K?! I thought 86k was good for my 2014. Rock on man!

 

I have been lusting over the roadmasters. Do you think these will be better than something like the sumo springs or timbrens?

 

Sumos and Timbrens are bump stops. They don't enhance the rear end like the Roadmaster.

 

Each has their benefits. Sumo and Timbren kick in when there is load. Their axle wrap, sway and wheel hop prevention is in my opinion not as good as roadsters. I drove backroads laced with potholes and man, I can feel so much difference, its amazing. Smoother ride. It lifted my trucks rear by 1". Im certain it will not disappoint hauling my 7000 lb dump trailer. I will know before weekend.

 

second this! Just put them on and the first 1k on them have been great. You have to want to hear them and are silent by comparison to some other tires I’ve ridden on.

 

please let me know when you do a review after you drive it for a few days. Im getting my suspension installed next week and will be installing RAS a couple weeks after, dont want to make two changes at once. So very interested in hearing your thoughts about it after you have had some seat time. I went with the HD RAS, is that what you have there? How long did they take to install?

 

Speaking of circuit!

just order some seat jackers too. The continual feeling of falling out of my seat is getting old. Hoping they will work with the bench (reached out to customer service and they’re curious too ) and also with increasing comfort level.

The Truck running the RAS, do you have any lift in the front?

 

Yes, its the HD set. My install time can't be a guideline, lol. I was rolling around in snow at 40F, very challenging. I recommend to spray the 2 shackle bolts at the rear end with lube to get them off easier. It took me 2 hrs total, I guess in a warm garage it would be 1 hr. I didn't take the wheels off as you have enough room to work around them. I set them with the black spacer disc as I want the max capacity out of them for towing. I repost my experience here after the weekend.

 

no lift, suspension is stock.

 

BFG ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2. I don't think they are loud.

 

Thats good glass cleaner...
