What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I put a little bit of super glue on those spots to hold leather down.

 

I was worried super glue would leave white residue similar to how it flashes white when it contacts our skin, so I'm waiting on some leather adhesive to arrive.

 

uggg this site $$

 

Not sure you what you ordered, but I love my new part from them. Thankfully I found it local and have zero regrets so far!

 

Is that a Quad Lock? How does it attach to the grab handle?

 

Oooooohhhhh I like it... How's it working out for you? I don't mind the "spider arm lookin massive mounts", haha, but i do have a hard time justifying $200 on a phone holder since i have no idea what else i would mount on it.

 

It holds my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with ease. So much better than the magnetic mount I had. Doesn't move at all.

 

They should have spent the extra couple bux in design to make it tool-less.

 

It's hardly a hindrance.

 

If you want to change vent angle, seems like it would be.

 

Yes it is. I converted over to their systems years ago to avoid the multiple things I had to have for all the stuff..... boat, car, truck, arm band, motorcycle (I miss those days), bike, and even that stupid running thing.

If you want them, I can go back and find the parts list... but basically, pop out the lower bolt and cover, insert a ram ball and a longer bolt to accept the ball. Then add your favorite ram style arm (I am using the boat quad lock arm, and then swap out for the magnetic head.

I tried the standard boat head but it moved a lot when taking on and off so I switched to the mag attachment.

 

Looks very similar, they may have tweaked it a little, but a few things are slightly different from the one on my truck.

 

The vent won't spin once the holder is installed, so yes but I positioned it where I always have it so I'm good with it.

 

just placed my order and thanks for the heads up about the veteran's discount!

 

Sweet. Glad I could help!

 

Welp, the spending has begun…

Wheels and tires are done. Set of 5 Method 305’s (17x8.5, +25mm) wrapped in 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T.

Very happy with the end result.

 

I got a real good deal on a 22 that was still on the lot, the 23’s have had far less assembly issues it seems by watching the groups. Ember has really been good on working on getting it right and our dealer has been very upfront too, so that helps. I will say it’s our 8th trailer in 20 years, and it’s been in the shop more than any other right of the bat for assembly issues. I think we are past most of it, so hopefully it’s free running from here lol.

 

Took it up in the hills. Couldn’t resist a photo op with “the Mad Mountain” (what my daughter called it when she was little after learning about how it blew up).

Rainier even farther in the distance on the right


And Hood poking out to the south.

 

lokks great!

 

I use a Dewalt 20v leaf blower to get most of it dry (all cracks and crevices get blown out) and that saves a ton of time.

 

Sweet, thanks! I was interested in using a quad lock on a ball mount, but wasn't sure they had a setup for that. I'd like to put it on a Rago or Victory 4x4 dash mount.

 

Great pics! And, good to see St. Helens again. Some buddies and I were fly fishing on the Deschutes River when St. Helens blew its top. We thought it was a sonic boom and didn't learn the difference until we got back closer to home. Brings back memories...

 

Camping!

 

Well, I was on the fence about getting my next (last free) oil change at the dealership.



Will definitely be doing it myself... you get what you paid for.

 

What is it with damn dealer techs......are they in competition to see who can collect the most hardware from customers vehicles?

 

Missing lug nut haha...quite the liability from the dealer sending you home that way.....

 

Added a center console organizer (Edbetos brand on Amzn) and got a roll of Xpel protection film I am going to attempt to use on the bumper, hood and anywhere else I can think of. The organizer is great. Color and feel of the plastic matches with the interior. Truck should have come with these from the factory!

 

For what it's worth, the service advisor was great (apologized, gave me his personal number, offered a free oil change, etc), but I just care too much about this truck to trust it with these mechanics that clearly don't.

The engine air filter box wasn't clamped shut either after my last visit, come to think of it.

 

Woof - that's a tough dealership...I actually like my dealership, not cheap, but they do good work. Never as fast as it should be though...
