What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Drove it for 50 miles last night and nothing. We’ll see tomorrow when I drive to Houston for work.

 

How do you like it? I am looking to order one soon.

 

I couldn't agree more. Pollen is bad right now here in SE Texas.

 

Did a little upgrade over the weekend! Out with that crappy 2 year old OEM Battery and in with a brand new Northstar AGM 27F!!!!

 

I want that garage please!!

 

Installed the RAS kit yesterday. Just FYI for anyone who has Toytec shackles like me - you have to remove the leaf from the shackle to fit the RAS hook. IDK why people say it only takes 45 min to install this - it took me 2 hours from start to finish and I am pretty experienced with working on vehicles.

I did remove the wheels and had to disconnect the rear shocks to get enough droop for the RAS hook to fit through the shackle.

Review: I'm always skeptical when people say products offer a very noticeable difference. Sometimes its a placebo effect. Anyways, I could feel a difference especially at low speeds on bumpy/windy roads. The rear end feels more "as one" with the cab. I have not tested it fully loaded but I will in the near future. Before installing the kit, I had 1" rake in the rear using the highest lift setting with the Toytec shackles. I dropped down the lower shackle setting and the RAS kit gave me an additional 3/4" lift. I'm now at 1.25" rake in the rear which I like.

I can't fully recommend the system until I am fully loaded or towing but I am hopeful.

 

You and me both. I would live in that thing.

 

Did you have to mess with the diode for this battery?

 

Nope just a simple 5 minute swap, Hooked up my Noco Jump starter to my OBDII port so I kept all my settings in the truck while I did the swap!

 

I literally did the same thing this last weekend...I used my HKB voltage booster and the idiot gauge indicates a higher rate of charge by a hair...I'm happy and its never started this well before either! Ha!

 

I would love to hear how you hooked up the NOCO Jump Starter to OBDII port so I can do the same and keep all my settings to do battery swap.

 

It does start noticeably better for sure!!!

This little guy right here, hooks up to the output on the NOCO Jump starter and plugs right into the OBDII!

Whoops ya completely forgot that they don't make that one anymore but ya that one is the same! Just gotta have the cigarette lighter adapter for the jump starter!

 

According to my Kenwood head unit, the HKB bumped my charging voltage by .5v. I was between 13.5-14 now 14-14.5 depending on operating temp.

 

Same here...upon startup, 14.7; once AIP turns off, I'm right at your numbers...I'm happy with this.

 

Link?

 

Thanks! The F150 is nowhere near the truck (as we all know). Terrible turn radius, sloppy handling, timid acceleration - lacks punch. Just doesn't feel tight. WAY better gas mileage tho. Almost double what mine gets, though mine is significantly heavier.

 

Wanna trade? I've been in a ram 1500 for 5 months. Horrible everything and worse gas mileage.

 

New rule....anyone that leaves a Tundra should be beaten.....especially if they go Dodge or Ford.

Should I have kept the versa?

 

Wow. Those look awesome! I especially like the third light. Very nice mod!

 

I just traded my 17 F250 for a 21' Tundra, what do i get?

 

Women instead of men!

 

As if the pain from repeated visits to the service department weren't enough!

 

Ill take it

 

The devil...lol.

 

Made you do it.
