What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

ETA - Misquoted the original reply. Replaced with the correct quote and some added thoughts.

I've listened to the system with the new dual subs for a couple of days now with everything from Beethoven to Howlin' Wolf and Deep Purple to Frijid Pink. Two thumbs up and absolutely a better with the added bass response, makes the factory sound much deeper and richer. I do need to settle on a spot for the bass adjust knob though. I'll be in the center console installing the phone charging table, so I'll probably run it into the console and leave it on the top tray.

I also bought the pre-cut sound matting from Tech12volts and when it warms up I'll start that project. Since I'm in the doors, might as well upgrade the rest of the system. I suspect the sound will be better with the matting, then great with a new amp, speakers and tuning. Not sure I want to replace the head unit, but we'll see.

 

Red tow hooks activated.

 

Rides great. Those KO2's grip the road great compared to the wore out stock bridgestones I had. And the mileage only went down a mile or so.

 

Did that mod a while back. Great mod and like you said, easy.

 

I want that bumper! Looks great

 

Put killmatt on doors, stereo sounds much better!

 

Nice! Looking to do this as well when it warms up a little. Did you completely cover the inner doors, or put it in strategic spots?

 

Complete cover, was really bummed on Jbl setup thought I was gonna have to revamp whole thing, but I can live with it now.

 

Got my TRD Pro grill in today and getting it prepped for paint/install. Still contemplating between plasti dip for the letters or just going straight for bed liner spray (raptor or line-x) to the whole insert. Anyone done that before and happy with the finish?



Also got most of my goodies in, still waiting for the SPC’s, Methods and the rubber

 

Great pile of stuff you've got there. Are you planning on leveling out the truck with the 5100 coil overs once you come up a bit in the back with the RAS?

 

Got everything from Ecoological, they have several different colors to choose from but they all overlay on top of the hood bulge, grill surround, and bumpers with no drilling. I've had the the front and rear bumper covers for over a year with no issues. Way cheaper than trying to get the parts or pieces from Toyota...

2014-2021 Tundra Grille Surround and Hood Bulge Overlay - Chrome Delete Kit (Textured Black TPO)

 

Bought mine in March 2022 and the dealer only had it a month so ill have to take it in just to be sure. With my luck, it'll have the recalled part and I'll be waiting several years for the replacement part to come in.

 

I appreciate it! Yessir that's the plan, the ones in the pic are 8112s for the front at 3.25", throwing the 5160s on the rear with the RAS (set at 25%) and Coachbuilder +1 shackles. Also adding some coachbuilder shims (2 on DS 1 on PS) in the front since I have a little over .5" DS lean. Should have a slight bit of rake but I'm good with that as I'll be putting on my ARE topper when it finally gets in

 

3.25 lift - nice! what tires are you going to run? do you also need UCA and diff drop?

 

installed the seat jackers. feels good need to get used to the recline.
Just a note, the last step in the instructions says to torque the 2 rear and 4 front bolts to 27ftlbs. But you cannot access the bolt that attaches the seat jacker to the floor once the seat is in place. I had to disassemble everything to torque those two bolts...doh ..

 

Not today, because we are in the middle of getting 12" of snow. But Wednesday was 65 degrees here in NH and I got around to installing the Rough Country Cold Air Intake. This with the Magna Flow Dual Exhaust I installed in December give the truck a nice growl.

 

Where did you run the wiring for the rear camera?

 

Along the perimeter of the headliner on the passenger side. Up by the windshield, I used a trim removal tool to pull the headliner down a hair to shove it in there. Then remove the passenger A pillar.

Open both passenger doors and pull down on the rubber seal. This exposes the edge of the headliner and you can just tuck it in there. For the B pillar trim, it didn't have to be removed. I could just feed it from one side and pull it out the other.

Once I got to the rear corner, I undid the top bolt of the trim and pulled it away a bit. Using a wire coat hanger I was able to then fish the wire past that trim.

This is what I mean by the rubber seal/weatherstripping. It's just held in place by pressure so you just pull it down and then when you're done it pushes back into place. Same thing with the rear window.

 

Washed the winter salt off my truck and waxed the rims

 

Installed seat jackers and had to trim the husky liners to fit around them. Wish I had gotten the lines a little straighter but dont look to bad.

 

Thanks @Tundra234 and others who recommended SEM trim paint.

That stuff is phenomenal. I threw a couple coats on my 4Runner’s knock-off TRD grille piece before installing the Toyota letters. It worked so slick that I decided to lay a couple coats on the Tundra’s locking fuel door (blacking out the silver bedazzler allen head screws) and touched up my hitch cargo carrier.

 

Added TRD Pro badges to my hood

 

Painted the calipers today.

 

What did you use? I want to do my 04 Taco

 

Duplicolor caliper paint. Just buy a couple extra brushes. My calipers weren't too bad because it's a '21 but many people suggested they needed an extra bottle of brake cleaner.

 

What the hell did you use a butter knife! Just kidding, hope when I install mine they don’t look worse.

 

I cleaned out my toolbox today...actually found a few hobby brushes. Thanks

 

You're welcome young lady!

 

I’ve got 285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers on Method 316s on their way! And yessir to both of those questions, SPC’s almost here

 

picked these up today
