What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Busy weekend with front end updates - some already mentioned but since I have pic now:

• Warn semi hidden winch bumper
• Smittybilt 12k X2O winch
• SB shackles
• Empyre off road grill
• Empyre raptor lights
• Boost auto power fold mirrors (amber lights to match)

 

9 inch lights fit the truck so much better!

 

I also have these in 275/70/18. I’ve had them for almost a year and love them. Haven’t had any issues in the rain or the little bit of snow we got over the winter.

 

Anyone have ten grand I could borrow to get me to the end of the week

 

To get rid of those steel wheels?

 

Yeah! I’m with you!

 

Just changed the air and cabin filters this past weekend. Also washed the black beast. It rained within an hour of the wash. We had crazy weather, sun and pretty, but pop up storms all Monday. I ended up drying the truck 3 times, each time thinking this has to be the last rain for today. 3rd times the charm.

 

Looking for these if anyone is selling!



…and willing to ship.

 

How is that ELocker doing? I am undecided.
Read about ARB air line being nicked and seal issues, ELockers; something about excessive heat due to magnet and engagement/disengagement issues.

 

Finally got the coachbuilder +2 shackles installed. Managed to find some 285/70r18 ridge grapplers for the black trd pro rims hiding in the garage. Currently sitting at 1.9” 6112 setting with rear 5160s and coachbuilder +2 shackles. 275/60r20 duratracs on stock 20s for now.

 

Do you have a stock suspension? I have a stock limited and will be putting on the Fox Pro suspension in the near future and want to know what is largest tire I could fit without issues.

 

E locker is doing good so far, no hiccups.

And yes, I agree that ARB air lockers having multiple systems dependent lowers the reliability aspect of the score, and also for ARB, their installation is more stringent, you have to show them your installation process/record to get warrantied.

For Harrop E lockers, I have not experienced the over heating problem because I really only turn on my locker when I need them at the moment, they are off most of the time; For engagement/disengagement, I wouldn't call them an issue because they are by design of this kind of locker, which provides a robust system. I am ok with taking 1/4 of a turn for it to be engaged and take a minute or so after turning them off to have them actually disconnected. I will take the reliability of magnetic lockers over air lockers any day, but that's just for my needs; I could see for some rock climbing users, the instant engagement of an air locker is critical.

 

Yep I’m on stock suspension. No rubbing at all with this size.

 

Victory 4x4 bed stiffeners. Don’t forget your T55 torx bit socket and 7/16 drill bit for the install.

 

Two rather amazing things happened this weekend. I hit 10k miles in the tundra after 15 months of ownership AND I married my best friend after 5 1/2 year together

 

Congrats on both!!!

 

congrats, and look at that roll of towel color matching your truck!

 

Congratulations! That's a great looking truck and even better looking couple.

 

Congrats on the nuptials and the 10k. Really putting that fuel guage to the test, eh??

 

hahaha I usually don’t let it get that low cause I don’t want to stress the fuel pump but there was a lot of driving around this past week with all the wedding stuff going on

 

Congrats brother!

 

Congrats!

 

Got notice that if the last of the parts show up tomorrow as expected, then I'll get my truck back on Monday.

 

FYI, I haven't tried any larger tires, but I installed the Fox Pro suspension and running 295 / 70 R18s on TRD Pro BBS Wheels, 1.5" rear shackles, and 1" BORA wheel spacers...the spacers were just for looks and weren't needed for the tire fit. In fact, they probably make rubbing worse due to the increase in turning radius. If running a stock skid you just need to trim the "ears" off or bend them back a bit. If using the TRD skid then no mods needed here. I didn't have to cut any plastic but did remove the front flaps and shape the front inner liners using a heat gun and small dead blow hammer - all easy work. Also, I think cramming a 34" spare is close to the max under the bed before rubbing the shackle bolts, and needs a little mod to the spare brackets or some folks cut them off completely. As far as I am concerned, 34" OD is the biggest tire without getting into more major mods.

 

Did the clear matte mod on the shifter….what a difference!

 

Yes it does. I'm glad a saw it. Trying to get the vinyl size correct was a royal pita.

 

Congratulations Tomas.

 

He's good, the light didn't come on.

 

Started brainstorming ideas for blacking out the ac control panel.
