What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Whatcha gunna do with your spare George, or do you already have it somewhere else?

 

It will be in the bed under the cover. The nice thing about this setup is that the electrical will be quick disconnects so I can put the spare under the truck if needed when we go camping, road trips, etc.

 

Suspension upgrade. I'm on my phone, hopefully these pics don't come through enormous.

 

I put two Christmas trees in it.

 

That looks real nice, Clark! Did you do the rears as well? Never heard of those UCAs. I've been thinking about some JBAs, but I'll look these up.

 

SDHQ terminals and tiedown. Spotter mirrors. LED interior light kit. Now, Iron Bowl.

 

I love those mirrors.
So glad I bought them..



Plus they match my Hottails..

Installed my driver’s grab handle I found on an eBay tip from @belairbrian. Again, thanks for the lead!

 

Picked up 110 bales of hay.
Just washed it on Wed

 

Cheaper than Sparks I'm guessing?

 

By almost half, since it was a take off. Arrived clean and with hardware.

Plus, Sparks said theirs were on back order till early next year.

 

Giving my girl some purple drink today. My first time using Royal Purple in the Tundra, worked great in my Supercharged car at keeping the oil temps low.

 

Came in on the Reindeer Express today

 

God's country.

 

Install a ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal today. Hopefully it will cut down on the dust getting inside my bed.

Installed Rough Country 2” leveling lifted struts on front and RC N3 shocks on the rear.

 

This guy is a great resource (Care Care Nut)..., always good stuff. Good post, thank you for sharing.

 

Does it stick well to the Line-X?

 

I brought the rear up with 3/4" Total Chaos shackles. I like a little rake. 74weld quality is impeccable, I was surprised to even see they made a set of uppers for the Tundra. They will set you back a little over a grand though

 

I’m still waiting on mine. May have to start watching ebay.

 

Didn’t have to stick it to the bed liner. Where you see it stuck is where the bed liner stops. I did put two short pieces at the top of the sides on the bed liner. Seems to stick pretty good. Wiped it down with alcohol first. I have factory bed liner that came on the Texas edition Tundra.

 

Those wheels (particularly the color) look perfect for the color of your rig

 

I hope that wears better than the TruXseal I tried.
It fell apart weeks later, it was too damn thick to begin with...

Yours does look better made and not as overall thick...

Does this make the tailgate close more quietly and snug? Just curious of other possible benefits.

 

They sell thinker ones like yours for different trucks. From what I could decipher from their website tundras take the thin ones. Their website is a little confusing. Hopefully it will hold up awhile.

 

You have to push harder to make it close. So it definitely snugs it up. Not sure if it quieter because you have to close it harder. I think it will break in after being compressed for awhile so It should get easier to close.

 

Yes, the one I used was too snug and the seal was too overall thick.
As @Rangergillikin stated the thinner one he used would be a better option.

 

I’d like for it to be eventually. It came like that out of the box.

 

George, if you’re looking, this has been great, I’ve had it on for three years, and the seal is holding up fantastically on LineX. Might have to do with the adhesion promoter that comes with it.
