What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

What makes is more expensive than others?

 

Had four officers in three miles come up from the side of the road, presumably run my plate, and stop again. I think they were looking for someone

 

I guess now that I've figured that out...

Who knows if they're swappable? And if they are (I figure they would be) who has a set of the 4WD ones they'd part with?

 

What did you re-torque to after reinstall? You paint or powder coat?

 

@therealjonwick 43 ft lb. Red spray paint and gloss clear

 

Awesome. Thank you. You sand them first? Appreciate the info.

 

New tires and wheels today.

 

I like those caps!

 

@therealjonwick no just cleaned with degreaser and then sprayed some self-etching primer

 

Discovered that if you remove the safe (some people use it, I don’t) you can fit a Pelican 8 cooler perfectly in the console.

 

technically over the last 4 days since I got the truck last week, but...

headlights
wheels off fb marketplace
Fender flares today

Truck has been cleaning up nice

Onward to plastidip and paint for badges and bumpers

 

More things from the last 4 days -
White LED mod for the gauge cluster
Tailgate camera and tailgate cover
New Head Unit & sub under drivers seat

 

whoops I posted those in the wrong generation sorry! I'll walk of shame out of here.

 

Where in Oregon are you? I’m in Beaverton.

 

Central / Bend, I have family right next door to you in Hillsboro though

 

Finally.... Wheels & Tires! Wheels & Tires!!! Yay... and a rear sway bar.

 

+40 offset?

 

Nice!

 

My 2018 is a 4WD and I have the double hook

 

Just a heads up new group buy happening for the solid offroad motor mounts. Get in the deal if you’re planning on doing them. @Bonzen

Looks great! Also those black head lights look so good against that Barcelona Red. I really need to just pull the trigger. Anyone selling a nice set??

 

Really like the center caps! What roof racks are you running? Did they require drilling?

 

Not winch capable. I sold my winch bumper because I never needed or used it.

 

It comes with a front plate adapter. And it’s quality metal bracket. And I never used my front plate on any of my trucks when I lived in San Diego. My cars on the other hand where always played front and back only because they where heavily modified

 

i cant tell what model those are but they are the drill free ones that grab into the door sill area.

 

Thanks!!

 

Curious you tire size?? & that is the Dakar wheel correct?
It looks awesome!!

 

What is your suspension set up on the truck?

 

My 2018 has the front and drop hook. I too am curious to see a pic of what Steve @Skaufma0 is looking at.

 

Is that the Kenwood headunit? I'm leaning towards that one myself. What are your first impressions?

Man, I've never really liked red cars, but that looks amazing! Love the wheel color combo with the red. Great looking truck!!
