What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

1" wheel spacer...lol

 

Make sure you retorque after 50miles.

 

Got it put back together yesterday. I started on Thursday after work and got to the point where I was wrapping it up and still wanted to add the USB on my dash mount and replace the cigarette lighter in the rear with USB and constant on. Decided to wrap it up on Friday and it ended up being a Tundra day

After

 

Preparing to haul next project home (John Deere 4300). First haul after having dealer flash computer to rid myself of the trailer brake controller disconnect error. Worked flawlessly!

 

Looks great. I'm a big fan of the OG Pro grill as well, especially with the OEM LED headlights. The long horizontal bar of the grill goes well with the LED horizontal DRL's.

Nice Deere, love the Yanmar diesels in those. Does it run?

 

Added some window tint and finally got the drip molding for the roof that was missing

 

After much research, and much time on the forum, I've decided I don't really need a coilover lift. I would like to run 35's at the most, or some wide 33's at the least. I'll leave the serious off roading for my Polaris.
I think 3" lift should suffice.
Now the arduous task of deciding which manufacturer.
Any input is welcomed.

 

If your current shocks are still in decent shape, the Westcott kit is a good option. https://westcottdesigns.net/product/toyota-tundra-trd-off-road-preload-collar-lift-kit/

 

Thanks!
Says I'll need to relocate the front bumper, and that additional clearance is needed to run 35's.

 

Correct, a lift alone won’t get you all the clearance. Removing the mudflaps and pushing the bumper plastics forward should get you close. Every truck is a little different on what all is required. It also depends on the actual tire and width you go with. 295/70R18 is around 34” and fills out the wheel wells nicely without needing as aggressive of clearancing.

 

Nice to know, thanks again.
I'm looking at Mickey Thompson Baja Legend MTZ in 33x12.50/R20. But I might upgrade the size to 295 if they'll work with that lift.

 

If you already knew this then pls disregard. We have subforums for more robust discussions about specific subjects. Wheels & Tires, Suspension, Performance & Tuning...

This is a sticky from Wheels and Tires. Sharing in hopes it helps. https://www.tundras.com/threads/largest-tire-you-can-run-stock-for-all-generations.9762/

 

That's perfect, thanks. Sorry to blow up this thread about lifts, and tires.

 

Something stupid again just torch $700 down the drain and made a FlowBorlamaster less drone exhaust.

 

Installed the Diode Dynamics 42 bar with Hotshot upgraded brackets. It's a snug fit, and you can't adjust the angle when it's in so I just leveled the bar with the bumper mounts and tightened it down. I'll sort the wiring later, but it works and hope its pointed in the right direction.

 

Looks so much better

 

Does it block the air flow?

 

Just got my onboard air compressor installed a few day ago + morrflate 4wheel hose kit!

 

No apologies dude. Quite a few ppl don't realize these subforums exist. Just sharing the wealth of knowledge

 

It takes up the entire bumper opening, so it blocks that airflow, but I doubt it will cause much issue. The grill opening is so large I'm sure it more than makes up for it. I believe the cooler right behind that opening is the powersteering cooler.

 

I finished installing running boards, took it through the car wash (you wouldn't know it to look at it), installed my floor mats, and added some bling. I just got mine a few weeks ago. Next is probably going to be a new head unit. I am looking at the Kenwood DMX7709S.

 

Installed the Falken wildpeak at3w 295/70/18 on stock trd off road 18 inch rims with bilstein 6112 on 1.9 setting. This truck looks Way better than it did with the stock 275/65/18 tires.

 

Got these installed today. 295/70/18 Wildpeaks

 

“Mostly” mounted my new-to-me WKOR sliders.
Still need to drill and bolt the underside, and need to modify my rear cat plate mounting brackets, but very happy.

 

Did you end up throwing some paint on them, or is that how they came out after you cleaned em up???

 

You just need to get rid of those white comic sans stickers at the back end of them

Looks great though. Love my WKORs!

 

Just dusted them off with a dry rag.

Yeah. I agree
I think I’ve got some small TM still

 

That's awesome... I glad you found a 'used' set in that kind of condition ; better than waiting for the build and really better when it's less $$

 

Yes, it runs. but needs some TLC (tires, fluids, filters) and new plastic covers.

 

Started my audio upgrade. Bought this when the truck was stuck in the shop for 9 months. Just reached out to James @james@tech12volts and he's sending me the dsr1 I need to make it work as well as some upgraded door speakers. Anything will sound better then the stock jl system.
