What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Wash/strip, iron remover, clay bar, wax and trim treatment

 

The link won’t work, but the part numbers will.

you have push button start, so you need the expensive front door handles because they include the electronics for the keykess entry.

easiest thing to do is order the complete kit from Sparks

Ahh nice! That’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you sir!

 

Pulled off the stock chrome steps to see how it looked. Waiting to pull the trigger on some sliders. May put the stocks back for now to protect from rock chips.

 

No pictures but I finally replaced my original front rotors and pads after 20K miles of pulsing. Found some bad spots on the pads in the process.

Looked around for cam leak spots. Still dry!

Wired up my heated front seats. I naturally get hot really quick but these are nice for the first 15 minutes of my drive in the morning.

Washed it before it rains again tomorrow.

Signed the paperwork to buy out the lease.

Successful weekend.

 

Hey Baja Mike, That rack turned out great. Thanks for running Baja Designs S2 on your setup.
Best,
Brandon

 

Finally got around to installing the ESP plastic underseat storage for CrewMax. Easy install, looks good. Nice to have some storage bins under the seat.

 

Anyone know how to extract fuel from tank to test?

Tried to siphon but there is a valve preventing the tube from going into tank (good to know).

Thinking I may have to extract from fuel rail, but wanted to check with everyone in case there is easier way…

 

I may have a little pecker, but what I lack down south I make up for with the Rock Warriors.

 

Such a good looking wheel and that color works magnificently with your truck!!

 

Looks badass. I too have a little pecker but make up for it with a huge sack so I’ll be staying with 35s for now.

 

Looks awesome!! Do you have spacers on those bad boys?

 

Yeah 2" boras because I was running 35s and the oem off road 18" wheels. Downsized to RW wheels and went up to 37s so this is entirely too aggressive at a -1 offset (bad rubbing at the pinch weld). Swapping these for another forum members Spidertrax 1.25" to put me in a better offset range then have to chop and reweld the pinch. Waiting for the Spidertrax to arrive so I can mount up and see how much I'll need to remove. Should be around +18.25 offset. Slightly more aggressive than the suggested +25 mark for these wheels/tires but I'll make it work. Nothing a plasma cutter/grinding wheel and some visually unappealing mig welding can't fix.

 

Did truck stuff. Picked up a 2001 TT-R 125 for my Son's 13th birthday in a couple weeks. It'll be his first bike. I think I may be bitten by the bug as well. That thing is fun!

 

I've really liked this.

Love it!!

 

We rented a 1800s farmhouse for a week on the water (northern neck), right at where the little Wicomico dumps into the bay.

I averaged 16.4 mpg for the week, 300 miles. Driving there and home loaded with 2 kayaks in the bed and the truck full of gear, 3 days of 4wd low use running from the farmhouse to the dock and then various running around to the different towns close by for fun or shopping. Considering I am lifted and run 275/70 E load, I didnt think 16.4MPG (hand calculated) was too bad. Hand calculation was better than the computer which had MPG listed at 15.7.

Here are some pics

 

Oh, and I got notice just yesterday that my Cryto treated rotors and new pads have shipped. Been waiting for them a month plus, they were not supposed to ship until mid November so I am happy they will be arriving early. I went with Akebono performance pads and stop tech slotted Cryo rotors for the front. Will probably replace the rear brakes in the spring.

 

I have the StopTech Sport slotted on mine on all 4 corners.

 

AJT knobs and painted factory rings. I slipped a tooth or 2 removing the first knob (fan speed) but that's what the sharpie marks are for.

 

BD lights came. Waiting on a harness and my switch pro and I’ll get this thing installed and wired up.

 

Hey @Millwood21, That third brake light is gonna look great. I've been considering adding one to my truck. Post a picture when you have it all installed I would love to see it on the truck.
Best,
Brandon

 

I sure hope so. I believe it will tho. Only problem now is I need more lights! I’ll be sure to post pics when finished.

 

Reach out to me directly regarding any lights you are looking to purchase, I would love to help you out @Millwood21.

I received my Toytec Bumper Shims and promptly had them sent out to get powder coated as they come as raw aluminum. I had them back from the powder coater same day.


Then, since I had a lot of spare time due to getting covid. I spent some time detailing the interior and exterior.

 

it doesnt do a whole lot other than a light yellow light tint. If you really want to cut through fog/dust you need real yellow bulbs.

 

Glad to see them get some use!

 

Thanks again!

 

Got a sweet knob. Get a grip.
