What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

1. Dirty Deeds 8” BAM exhaust setup
2. Rough Country CAI

Truck sounds bad ass now. I’ll upload a sound clip of the exhuast on my IG @cement.tundra

 

You would have better performance with the stock intake.

Why’s that? The guy I bought it off of said he saw a 1 mpg gain which I’m all about

 

nice lookin' fish. and truck and boat. countin the days until breakup- ~3ms to go.

 

Tons of ways for hot engine compartment air to get in that one, OEM standard box is already essentially a CAI since it goes into the wheel well for the intake. The reason most 'performance' air filters get MPG or HP gains is because they let more air in - which means less filtering.

If MPG is you're big thing there's much better ways - I can gain 3-5 mpg on my truck by slowing down and not trying to hear my exhaust almost any chance I get. Driving style is going to change your fuel mileage far more than any mechanical add ons.

 

I had one on my 1st Tundra. Sucked in some heat. Most CAI's reduce low end torque. The most effective is the stock intake with the SABM and a drop in filter which adds a 2nd intake tube from the fender well.

 

I need someone with too much time on their hands and the right stuff to log it, and find out if my plates increase fuel efficiency via aerodynamics

 

I need to do this too...I keep telling myself I need to start a build thread and here I am almost 5 years later. Maybe I will finally start one this weekend.

 

Thanks for the input. I bought both items together so the dude swapped his setup onto my truck. I’ll keep an eye on it. MPGs are a factor, but not a deal breaker. What’s 12 when you get 11 anyways?

 

Added 3hp with these wheel stem caps

 

Just ordered that teton shifter. Looks good

 

I have the same boat...but mine is just the aluminum color...I love it. Crazy what they cost now. I paid 9,995 for mine...saw one at basspro the other day for like 15,995....

 

I’ve been eyeing this up for a couple months but need to convince myself that it’s worth the cost. It is probably the best looking shifter on the market though.

 

I ordered a set of the HDs today as well. Should see them next week sometime. I will post pictures when I get them installed.

 

I figure i can sell my trd shifter from my pro for 50 or 60 to offset the cost of the Teton.

 

Call them and ask for a discount. They will give you one over the phone. Leaf Spring Suspension Solutions | Made in the USA | Roadmaster – Roadmaster Active Suspension

 

I was hoping they would have a sale on them sometime soon. I think they were 30% off on Black Friday, but I missed that sale

 

Took me almost 3 years

 

It was 20%, still a bill. I should have jumped on it....

 

22" Toyota's Extreme package rims,

 

Plasti dip! Bumpers taillights. Easy to remove if I ever wanted to.

 

I cannot believe i just now did the interior LEDs. massive difference. i am going to do all of the cars in my family.I guess my base SR5 doesnt have lights for the glove box or doors

 

Door lights have been gone since 2010 lol.

 

For sure - wasn’t disputing and I am by no means a suspension expert either. 3” or less is definitely the “general rule” and mine was fine with the stock UCAs but it was definitely a noticeable improvement with the JBAs and was able to get more caster which for me fixed the slight rubbing issue…..don’t know if I could have done that with the stock arms.

 

that makes me feel a little better lol

 

Finally got the (2) Yakima HD overhaul cross support rack system. Now have 8 gallon pressurized water tank on passenger side rack and mollie attachments on driver side. Probably mount my large fire extinguisher on the inside mollie panels

 

Looks really good. Did you take the door panel off and remove them to paint or did you just mask off around them ?
