What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I HATE this forum...

"This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as BAMUFFLER"

Hopefully I will see my new Dirty Deeds exhaust system by the end of next month.
Gave Keith a call, super guy to talk to. I told him that my truck is primarily a tow vehicle and he let me know what he thought would be the best choice for me.
We went with the standard 10" cat back exhaust made w/2 1/4" pipe for max TQ and little to no noise in the cab.

other mods done because of this forum, TRD Rear sway bar, Baxter oil filter adapter, Meso interior light, Short antenna, LED headlights, Stock airbox mod, throttle body bypass....
and more...

Future mods, Transflow 46 gallon gas tank and maybe some JBA Long Tube Headers

 

Looks great! I need to do this, just have to get over cutting the the truck.

 

Thanks. Wasn't too bad. Plus, the seats will always cover any mistakes. It's really hard to make a mistake, as ESP provides a template you use for cutting.

 

How is the SABM doing with your stock exhaust? I bought the stuff to do it but chickened out since I don't "plan" to change my exhaust anytime soon.

 

Do these replace the 3w auto module? Or is it just lighted buttons that work in conjunction.

 

Got the dobinsons on !! No more saggy ass. Will get a proper before and after post at my break

 

dude you need some blacked out LED headlights! that bumper and light setup is awesome.

 

I was worried too but the template works great. With the 2021 you do need to be careful of one spot when cutting, there is a wire loom under the foam in one spot for the keyless entry trucks. There are several write ups on this site though. The instructions that come with also detail where to be careful.

 

I actually have the 2018 Black LED OEM headlights. Just have to wire them up and put them on…amount a couple other things

 

Haven't done the oil changes myself, can you change/add this spin on cartridge adapter without draining the engine oil first? Not sure where this sits in relation to where the oil drains/bottom of the pan.

 

Since we need rain I figured I would do the area a solid and wash my truck. It’s pretty much foolproof.

 

What product are you having put on the headlights? I just got the TRD pro's and don't want them hazing over.

 

I'll look and see....I believe it was Xpel. Most of the shops that do ceramic coating do PPF as well. They use a computer program that cuts it. He said that the program doesn't cut a piece for the top so they did it manually by hand.

 

Installed TRD Pro suspension and Total Chaos Upper Control Arms

 

That's a good question, I'm honestly not sure....

 

And the chrome delete continues. Emblems down today. Last thing left is those pesky bumper caps…

 

Tell us about the battery setup.

 

Do the covers make the door closing feel more solid? or improve anything , or just protection?

 

More for a cleaner look.

 

You were talking about mounting a fire extinguisher. Have you looked at these? https://elementfire.com/ They are much smaller than a 5lb bottle and extinguish for 4 times longer. They are quite a departure from what people think of when they think of an extinguisher. I have them in every vehicle and gifted ones for all my family's vehicles.

Edit: oh I fogot, also put one in our kitchen and gifted some to family members for their kitchen's.

I did look up these fire extinguishers. They are expensive and impressive! I think you just caused me to spend even more money than I've already spent due to this site. Thank you for this info!

 

Took my tundra to the beach this past weekend.

 

who makes those covers? They look good.

Is wear I got them

 

Added some EMI tape to the cargo and brake lights. Attempted to create a faraday cage to stop the Radio wave frequency issues of LED bulbs in these housings. So far it works very well and I actually seem to get a further activation of the lock and unlock for the truck. I previously had the special RF VLED bulbs but had to have one replaced within a span of 6 months due to the known error they had a while back. The replacement they sent me lasted another 6 months and gave up the other day. If the EMI tape continues to I might be able to put better and brighter lights in or not be restricted to special RF curated bulbs. This is not a knock against VLED I have many of their bulbs in my truck for almost 2 years with no issues and their customer service is very good. These RF curated bulbs just seem to be hit or miss with me (the other bulb that is still going strong is the original I purchased over a year ago so YMMV. to make sure the cage is working I have put standard VLED 5k in the cargo lights for now to check for any and all issues. Will update with night shots tonight.

I had the same issue with one of the RF bulbs. I am going to put my VLed high output bulbs back in (once I find where I put them) and just leave the cargo switch off or use the tape if it continues to work well for you.

 

Its a Dakota Lithium 12V 100AH with a REDARC dual input 25A in-vehicle DC battery charger. The battery will be hooked up at the solar on the AT Overland Summit,(will be getting installed in December) it will be running my Dometic fridge and charging any electric gear.

 

Is this a turnkey solution or something you "built?" Would like to find something like this that's turnkey--don't have time to screw with tinkering.
