What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Parked into a concrete pole. "It'll buff out".

Options were:

1. Drive it as is
2. Smack it up with a sledge hammer
3. 2 + buy a new plastic cover (it is cheap! $120)
4. Buy a new offroad bumper

Decided to go with 2 for now, but this was like 4th or 5th time I damaged that chrome scoop. Probably need a better bumper.

 

Not watching the camera?

 

Time for an upgrade. You'll be more careful after forking out that cash.

 

I ordered a Valvomax oil drain system for my Tundra, 4Runner & Jeep. They will send you a 20% off coupon code if you sign up for their emails.
Not a bad deal if I do say so myself.

 

@Clay J , What front bumper id that on your truck??
Thanks for the pics.

 

I did, briefly, but was paying more attention to side mirrors since I was turning, too. I'm not good at spotting a slow moving low contrast things, unless seeing them through the scope running away

 

Nah, I'm getting older. Also offroad means you loose something every ride, or it was not offroad. On top of that, when I learned how to weld plastic and metal, I certainly became less worried about vehicle damage.

Fixed! Had to add a crowbar to the selection of tools. I love how easy Tundra is to work on!

 

I want to do this, but I plug my phone in for CarPlay so I can't see the value. I've tried the wireless dongales, but they lagged and weren't a reliable connection.

 

Put a bumper or something in the hitch....for next time.

 

I’ve had mine about 4 years with tons of off-road / washboard use and have never had an issue.

 

So I managed to tear my mudflap and most of the wheel well liner off (thanks frozen mud), does anybody know what these fasteners are called/where I can find them on Amazon? AFAIK they’re what the lag screws drill into, but they’re all busted so I’m not 100% certain…

^^ beauty thank you sir

 

My OttoCast is just about perfect. Every now and then there’s a stutter but it usually happens around the same places where I’d lose my Sirius XM signal for a second so I think it might be one of the secret secret locations where @Squatting Pigeon charges his drones.

Seriously, try the OttoCast if you haven’t yet.

 

Thanks!

 

out here in Lake Havasu AZ

 

I’ve had two different dongles that were both 99% flawless (the first one is now in my daughter’s car). Every once in a great while my phone will forget to auto-connect to the Bluetooth that is needed to initiate wireless CarPlay, but I’ve had that happen on factory setups too. It’s usually after an OS update

 

found both a used (clean) DECKED system, and a Snugtop Rebel cap on FB marketplace today... I am doing my best from getting them as I am waiting for tax guy to finish my stuff (and find out if I put enough aside or will owe more than expected).

 

I want to say I went with the OttoCast because I read a few different reviews that said their customer support was very responsive. It was around a month ago though and I have a hard time remembering what I had lunch so there may have been a different reason. I did catch it on sale, also.

 

I know I know....been busy finishing up the kitchen remodel and getting ready for the rood and electrical panel replacement.

 

Sneak peak on the new step bar. Dropping it off to get it Line-X tomorrow. Stay tuned.....

 

Didn't think I would want it but after driving father in law’s 2023 Tundra, decided it was worth upgrade. Installed a set of auto up/down window switches in the truck.

$115 HIGH FLYING 2007-2021 for Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition, Platinum Car Accessories Power Auto Window Lift Switch Control with LED (Blue Light Set of 3)

Ended up with an extra switch since front passenger already had an auto switch.

 

I have a future daughter-in-law from Lake Havasu. Never been there myself. Sharp looking truck!

 

If you ever have an issue with them, you may need to perform surgery. @hnsmrob had a great writeup on a fix.

How did you get the plastic piece off? I was trying to remove it one day, but couldn't get to all the tabs from the bottom
