What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

thank you.

 

yeah I always air down my tires to about 10PSI to get it to clear my garage!! painful but at least I don't have to worry anyone tempering with it.

 

Get those bad boys mounted Cong!

 

I’m looking at getting same size Coopers for mine too. Did you have any issues with tires rubbing UCAs?

 

This is Mica Bronze right? I'm partial to white but I feel it is such an underrate color. Should have been one of the pro colors.

 

Looks like Smoked Mesquite. That's what I have. The older color was called Sunset Bronze and it had more orange/bronze to it than the mesquite. Too many reflections to see the color that well but this is most recent pic I have of my Mesquite.

 

Picked up a BNIB set of four Bilstein 5100s this month. Was on the fence with installing 4600s but with as much truck camper hauling and towing as I do (not to mention our 21 miles of gravel and potholes) the former seemed like the only real choice.
The $250 I paid for them on FB market place (shipped!) greatly helped in the decision!

As most know the 5100s offer several height settings. I opted for the lowest setting--I like my MPGs--predictably they seem to ride slightly firmer, but with tight handling.

For anyone thinking on these, installation isn't too bad, hardest part is getting the bottom front strut mount seated in the lower arm. It can be tight. Obviously you'll need a spring compressor to change the front strut. The rears are easy.
If you do DIY, loosen the front brake hose mounts to avoid any problems with over stretching the lines, it's just a couple of bolts.

 

Installed a 2020 leather wheel in my 18 SR5. Would have been a quick install if I didn't damage the steering wheel spindle threads with my steering wheel puller (user error).

 

Where’d you get the wheel? This is also on my list of many things I need lol

 

Tacoma has the same steering wheel, I found a used leather Tacoma steering wheel off a truck they where parting out. Perfect fit and didn’t have to use the puller to install just pulled the old one out with some force. Perfect with no issues.

 

Time to de-chrome and de-silver that interior. De-gloss the shifter too.

 

They should be going on early next week, let me enjoy the smooth ride and efficient MPGs of my 33s P-rated tire for another week.

 

My desert does it seat jackers will be here today.

 

This is what I need to do for my pooch. I assume the 30" is from seat to seat and the 36" is width? Also, what height were the support legs? I am assuming the support toward the center console is shorter. Thanks for sharing!

 

I put these in my Taco and like them a lot. Let me know how they turn out in the Tundra - thinking of doing mine too.

Edit: Off topic, but have you seen the new (CarShield) advertisements with Ric Flair?...I think they are hilarious!...especially when he smacks the guy with a chair at the end.

 

They made a dramatic difference for me...I wasn't sure about them but now I love them!

 

Yes I have, pretty funny. I'll let you know about the seat jackers.

 

Yeah, just remember to keep the nut on the last couple of threads, so you don't hit yourself in the face when it releases. HAHA

 

Hahaha welcome to the low MPG club!

 

I'll grab some measurements and get you some better pics. I do have the esp under seat storage and that both complicated the build and solved problems at the same time.

 

Actually that's why I was asking, I have the ESP under seat storage as well so I thought I would ask to cheat off your paper! Thanks in advance for anything you can send.

 

Got my Desert Does It seat jackers installed yesterday. All I can say is wow! Feel like I have a recliner in my Tundra.

 

What are those for? I looked at the website, and I still don't think I quite get it. What do these jackers do that the lower/raise up and down function on the driver's seat doesn't do?

 

Lifts the front of the seat upward, kinda like a recliner. If you have back issues or sciatica issues this will amaze you. Definitely worth the 10 minute install.

 

These raise seat more than factory seat adjustments. I couldn’t believe what a difference a few inches does (that’s what she said). I no longer feel like I’m sliding out (that’s what she said). Sorry, been watching The Office too much.

 

Shit I'm buying a set!

 

I assume it is a fixed amount it raises the seat tilt and isn't adjustable?

 

Yep, you can still use your factory seat adjustments, this just adds more. See pic attached.

 

Mine's getting it's first service/recall work and oil change (even if I have to pay for it) at 3k miles tomorrow.

 

Top 10 mod I think is a MUST! just takes the seats to the next level.
