What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I have the pro stock lift plus added 2shims and +3 shackle. When u are about 10 ft back from the truck you can definitely see the red sway bar. I myself love it and love the look and color. I'm adding a couple more touches of red so the truck front to back will be grey, black and couple touches of red. I don't think the red will look bad on yours but I have seen others that painted or powder coated theirs blue and it looked awesome. I'll tell you this, regardless of color, might be the best bang for ur buck as far as mods go, performance wise I'm just saying helps a lot.

 

New shift knob to compliment the boot.

 

Holy shit, I had no idea how much of a hot commodity these things were. Just went to order them and they're sold out

 

Ray 10's for the win!! I'm in, on black ones, as soon as they are available.

 

Still lots of work to do on these but I think they look like a nice shade. Have to wait 24+ hours before I'm going to start wet sanding and clearing. Wanted to make sure I like the shade of tint also

 

I'll take some of those in 18",please...

 

It's the little things

Me too...real tempting depending on offset options...sic wheels

 

Funny you say that. I went to purchase the 17" today (because no 18") and they were sold out. GOOD THING! For some reason in my head, I had 17" tires. I would have ended up needing new tires and Chris (@TRDFaux) would have been the recipient of another hell of a deal.

 

That looks sick dude! All except that Packers license plate frame lol

 

Ha, touche!

Im actually considering removing it because its the ONLY thing on my truck thats still chrome.

 

Chrome bad! Aren't you in NY? Would have taken you for a Giants fan with your blue truck

 

I am in NY. I LOVE all sports. They're a bigger passion of mine than my truck. Between all 4 major sports, there isn't a team I absolutely HATE more than the Giants. The only thing in this world I hate more than the Giants are Patriots "fans".

 

Ahahaha. I hear ya on all sports. I watch pretty much everything. My wife makes fun of me when I turn on any sporting program and comments "Oh yay sports! Is it the playoffs?!" Lol

 

Another similarity between us. I think we're long lost brothers haha.

Im always like:

"its the NBA playoffs, I cant miss this"
"its the all star game, I cant miss this"
"Its the red sox/yankees, I cant miss this"

She hates all of it. But when it comes to football season, she's great. For the last 9 years she knows not to make any plans for us on Sundays from Sept-Feb. She's a good sport about it. She just doesn't love the $350 charge for the NFL Package when it hits the Directv bill haha.

 

Haha yep! Sunday funday is beer and redzone!! We host the Super Bowl party every year and after the 2nd year I didnt even have to ask her about it she just started planning it year to year lol. That was like 6 years ago haha

 

I guess it's a good thing I already got that package before u found out I was a giant's fan lol, Gmen, Yankees, Rangers, Knicks.

 

Nice job! Have the same truck but Super White. What's your MPG with the 35"s?

 

I'm getting 11 mpg

 

Attempting to set up my appointment with Safelite to replace my cracked windshield, but this is throwing me off. Any ideas? To me its the bottom option, but maybe the top option would look better? haha

 

Just had mine replaced by safelite

I requested factory glass and it was the top one with the lower heating element for the windshield wipers. I had no idea at first that we had this option and they had to reorder the windshield

 

Thanks Tony. So, to be clear, I should be selecting the top one?

 

Yes. I always replace with factory glass, and your factory glass should have a faint blue strip across the top. Not sure if the 2016 all had the heated bottom so you will have to look.

 

I replaced mine with oem glass and would've been a grand if I didn't know guys at service center. Just fyi

 

I approve of this message. Does the suspension come with it again?

 

every state is different in NC we pay our deductible and the insurance pays the difference. Travelers allows for factory glass.

 

Nothing fun and exciting. I received my replacement rear bumper/plate bulbs from Roman. I got a little rammy when I was swapping out my bumper corners and broke both of the lights.

 

I haven't shared much since I've joined because I've been too busy seeing what everyone else is doing with their trucks. Over the past month or so I went from this on Feb 24:



to this as of this (sorry for the crap picture I ran out of daylight and had to improvise to get a current picture):



I'm going to do a small build thread just to document the changes over time but the tires (Toyo Open Country A/T II - 285/65R18), rims (Pro Comp Series 41 - 18x9), suspension (Bilstein 5100's on all 4 corners) and step bars (Go Rhino RB20) happened in the past 3 days. I had grander ideas in mind but after talking with my local 4wd shop (OK4WD) about how I plan to use the truck and wanting to pay cash for the mods, I decided on something that provided the performance I was after and achieved the look I was after while staying within my budget.

Hat tip to @WarEagleSteve for his suggestion on the shop and great advice along the way. And thanks to all of you for the great inspiration (aka helping me empty my piggy bank).

 

Linex and tint on the same day.

 

Added forum propaganda

 

Did some light under the hood detailing. All the plastic was dusty from Mexico trips and a burrito or two that was left on the engine block too long needed to be cleaned off.
