What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Look at service manual, but I'm sure it's just a regular oil change. That's way too early to change your diff fluids if you aren't doing anything extreme.

30k I believe is the first change.

 

Very nice rack, wish I knew someone that has a cnc. What did you do for the mounting feet?

 

It's not difficult at all. The overhead console is just held in place by four T20 screws. The hard part may be getting underneath the card holder section to access those screws. You just need a pick/pry tool to pop that plastic off. My only gripe is that I wish the conversation mirror was bigger, like in the Siennas and Highlanders:

 

Thanks for the compliment. I was lucky and only had to cover the materials cost for the sheet metal shop I used to cut and powder coat the side plates. If I had to cover the cost of everything, it may have ended up costing more than just buying a rack directly from Prinsu. I ordered the following Sherpa Matterhorn mounting feet in black textured powder coat finish. I ordered the extruded parts and hardware from www.tnutz.com and they have a set specifically assembled for building a Prinsu style rack:

 

@Roman

Do you have a part # for one without the sunroof/moonroof controls? TIA

 

Installed VLED stage 2 taillight conversion today. These brake lights probably can be seen from space.

Are you mirror signals yellow? I've only seen red.

If yes, link?

Edit: and not tow mirrors*

Looks like the ones in the Sequoia without the moonroof controls are the longer roof consoles. Is that what you're looking for?

 

They’re red tow mirrors. I wish they were amber but it doesn’t bother me too much.

 

Looks awesome, I was waiting for these, but for $450 looks like I'll be waiting longer than I wanted.

 

I have a ‘21 sr5 and wanted auto power fold mirrors with button on switch and with key fob when lock and unlock. I bought the oem platinum mirrors and they came with amber turns in the mirror. Not sure if that’s what your looking for as an option or not. If not then disregard lol.

 

Thank you. I've read through that several times but haven't decided if the cost savings (since I don't have a CNC or powder coat machine) would be worth it.

 

If you do ever pull the trigger, TOYOTA10 knocks off 10% which makes it sting a bit less.

 

That could be an option

 

I have about $500 invested in my DIY rack and didn’t pay for material cutting, powder coating, or install a front fairing. At $710 (less shipping I think) from Prinsu, I think it would cost less to order from Prinsu unless you have good friends to help like me.

 

I can definitely see the value in that as well as not dealing with assembling their lights. I thought long and hard about who to buy from but went direct with them for a couple of reasons.

 

That's the conclusion i keep coming to whenever i go through that post. I like the idea and the challenge of a DIY but only if the savings are worth it.

 

Now, I have seen posts on TW where guys have fab-ed and painted their own rack side frames, which could save some $.

 

Thanks Roman. No, I was looking for the short one with the roof switches.

 

Damn filled up put in a bit over 14 gal to fill the tank $5.20 for reg at Costco $5.55 for premium. .

 

Are there any 200k mile 2.5 gens out there still running strong?

 

what cap is this? i want one bad and I like the looks of this one with the rack

 

most of what i have read is over 2" is when you get into issues and need diff drop and UCA...i did 1.9 because of this but who knows. i will keep an eye on tire wear

 

Switched from Toyo Open country to Michelin Defenders with heavier load rating for towing. Man, I love the Defenders.So much quieter and smoother.


Finally got all the cameras dialled in and this is how my third brake light camera helps seeing from my truck bed to behind my trailer. This camera is awesome.

Installed a drivers side grab handle.

 

Nice pics, I feel as if I was there.....

 

Ok I added a picture. I didn’t take one earlier today when I installed it.

 

Looks like an ARE Z. I’ve got the same one.
