What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nice looking Tundra!

The weather tech bed mat looks nice. What’s your verdict with it? Think it will hold up?

 

It was thrown in for free by the dealer so I just went with it. It should hold up fine for my camping/sleeping build in the back, but I don’t think it would do well for a construction type environment..it’s a fairly soft rubber/plastic that seems like it could get torn up pretty easily.

 

My "dont crash into the person in front of you" sensor disabled and wouldn't re-enable after I hit a big puddle. It fixed itself when it dried up. Any chance your sensors got wet?

 

That is also possible, but it would be a first for me if it was water induced

 

Just a thought... But another option to add a small layer of insulation and to get rid of the hard, cold, 'channeled' bed design would be to throw down a 3/4" stall mat. I've used them in the back of all my trucks to add durability, get rid of the sliding around affect of things loaded into the bed, and to reduce impact and hard edges against the knees when crawling around back there. I'd assume having that layer of rubber between you and the metal would also afford you a small insulating factor for camping/sleeping.

 

Was your windshield (particularly around the rearview mirror area) obstructed? I've had issues before where FCW, etc would disable when frost was covering that area. I think there's an associated sensor there as well.

 

My shin hurts just looking at it.

 

I was walking with some friends one time and one of them smashed his shin on a giant truck hitch. Dude raged, pulled the giant hitch out and threw it really far.

 

I volunteered it as a test subject. Learning Adobe Premier so naturally a Tundra overview was my first content choice. Some of you may recognize the rear USB mod.

Already compiling my "do better" list for the next installment. Onward.

 

Got new tires installed... 275/70/18 Wildpeaks, and installed 5100's all around with an front end level.

 

Went out at 5:09 this morning after my daily ice cap and waxed the truck before breakfast. Was all done by 7:30.

 

Damn you sure those are 33s? They look huge.

 

I was thinking the same thing. If those are 275/70R18s I shouldn’t have gone bigger.

 

I’m with you on the early mornings bit, but I sure ain’t waxing my truck before my breakfast. Good on you though.

 

I did not know that. I had some bug guts. Nothing major but standard stuff driving through a low populated area at 70mph

 

Drove to a place to pick up a custom accessory I had made.

 

I did not know anyone saw me!

 

Maybe his truck has really saggy suspension lol

 

I had similar experience of nailing my shins on previous hitches which is why I bought this one.

The point of this hitch is to tuck under the truck and not be sticking out to hit your shins. The hitch hangs out only 1” from the hitch cover I had on previously and is not even close to an issue.

check it out before you knock it!

 

haha could be. Speaking of which, I was feeling maybe mine does. While working on it I was noticing how flat the leafs sit. This is with the weight on the suspension, but nothing in the bed.

 

I love mine, havent ever had a issue with it.

 

Tundra springs sit pretty flat from the start. There's not alot of arch in them.

 

Anyone know how to get texts to popup on the stock radio screen. Calls and music do. But not texts. I want to be able to have it read out loud while driving and popup on screen as well

 

I have to click "read"

 

Same

 

Yea they are 275/70/18.. my leafs are probably shot, it does have 183k miles on it.

 

Ya mine look like that too. To see if it's saggy you can measure from center of wheel to fender. Front measurements are 21.5 inch and back is 24 inch. Those were my numbers on a year old SR5.

 

SOOO CLEAN!!!!

 

I see the locking pin into the truck, but do you have to get locking pins for the stow part too?

 

New bumper
