What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

They did it lol

 

About to hit 40k, so I did some boring maintenance.

ATF drain and fill with Idemitsu TLS-LV (equivalent to WS, was on special at AutoZone recently). I wanted to get this done in preparation to install cover for the catalytic converters.

Rear differential drain and fill with Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-110

I'll get to the front diff and transfer case later in the week.

 

Isn't 40k a little premature to change the ATF fluid?

 

60k or 6 years is ideal for your first drain and fill.
I'll be doing mine at 45k (two intervals away) since the truck had its 6th birthday this year.

 

How many quarts drained out?

 

I did mine at 30k. Just drained those missing trans cooler worries right out the drain hole.

 

Weather today was 38 and sunny, so I decided it would be a good time to wash off all of the road salt and grime.

 

Haven't done it yet! I'm at 38k.

 

4 quarts

@Tundra234 I don’t feel 40k is too early. And like I mentioned, cat plate is about to be installed so I wanted to knock out an atf change.

 

After seeing @Cthulhu posting with his vinyl graphic on the hood, I decided to use the matte black I had left from wrapping my rear bumper ends. After finally figuring out, thanks to youtube, how to get the knifeless tape to work, it was a snap.

Did a step by step with more photos in my build thread https://www.tundras.com/threads/2021-super-white-dc-sr5-sx-mall-crawler-plus-build.106022/page-2 )

Whoops wrong person haha

 

Perfect. I recently bought 6 quarts of WS.

 

On other Tundras, I have drained up to 5 quarts. So you’ll be covered.

 

Mine has been 4 each time. I’ve done at least 3 drain and fills. Recommend something like this to easily catch and measure the old.

How you liking the Yokohamas so far? Ride better than the Coopers?

 

Followed the instructions in https://www.tundras.com/threads/cavernous-crewmax-diy-underseat-storage.82623/ and installed the storage area. Sooooooo practical and useful.

 

You mean Goodyears? Ya yokos ride much better. This is my 4th set of geolanders.

 

Yup got that already. I’ll be doing mine on Christmas/New Years break

 

Don't most cat plates have access to drain and fill the trans fluid?

 

I installed the dash cam out of my old truck. Hard wired it so it would work when parked. This is the 5th dash cam install I have done and was the easiest by far...........now I just hope the "Refuel" light goes out soon!

Cheers

 

Broke down and ordered the ESP long box today. Went ahead and got some Kilmat to install with it when I take the rear seat out.

 

most do not

 

Dude that’s awesome. Nice work.

 

damn double car seats ruin this idea for awhile.

looks great OP

 

Mojave road update. Usually takes people 2-3 days to complete. We arrived this morning at sunrise and finished today at sunset lol! Insanity. Awesome time. More details to come.

 

I've got 2 car seats and just installed the esp in my crewmax. All you have to do is unlatch them but leave the back tether on, and you can flip the seat bottom up.

 

Grill swap completed. Now just waiting on the YotaLED Raptor lights to show up. I’ve got some detailing on the truck I can do until then.

My 11 month old daughter was my helper lol

 

Scored some brand new cali raised rock sliders. Dude accidentally ordered for crewmax and he’s got a double cab. I save the wait time and about $400.

 

Added the center console safe. Easy install, roughly 10 minutes. I guess I was one of the lucky ones not to have a bent corner!
