What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

You're suppose to show us the climbing out pick too

... otherwise we just think you left it there!!!

 

The winch finally got to work ( the one on the front bumper, not the ex)

 

Stocked up on a couple more boxes of oil at Costco since they were on sale. Also picked up a Badland Apex winch for $450 plus tax

 

Winch vs. wench

I just call mine hell-bitch!!!!!

 

Good reminder about spare tire match.

 

Not the tundra but did the pinch weld mod on my wife’s 4runner. 35s started to rub slightly off road haha

 

I can only imagine what the mpgs are with 35's on that thing. We stayed with the stock size when we put wheels and tires on hers. Post a side pic sometime. I'd like to see it sitting on those.

 

Wife puts maybe 3-4k miles a year on it so mileage isn’t a concern. I think last trip she got 14 mpg. Not too bad.

 

Nice. Yeah that's not too bad being the 4R weighs as much as the Tundra. I sure as hell.dont get that in my truck with 295/70's.

 

Picked one up the next day and stuffed it in where the spare tire goes (295/70/18 fits for me with 10PSI in it lol)

 

I have a set of 5 of those tires in the marketplace available in San Diego

 

I only needed one for the spare, my other 4 are only a few months old. Picked this one up for $50. Would have cost me that to drive to you down in SD haha.

 

No way it weighs as much as the tundra. I scaled my tundra at 6800. 4runner has to be around 2k less.

 

Took delivery of my 2021 LR Pro

 

You are correct, but it is close.

 

We did the same thing because of the MPG's (daily driver) and we are happy with the performance and MPG's. The little 4Runner goes about anywhere you point it

 

I’m glad it made it their safe!! Looks awesome Erik! Awesome truck,

 

Smaller pulley for the Whipple arrived sooner than expected. Hopefully throw it on this weekend

 

Too shiny. Ordered covers. Matte ftw.

 

Oh I messed up. Mine scaled at 7800 not 6800. I have a lot of added weight.

Also the 6300 for the 4runner is gross weight. Curb weight is 4675. So Tundra is closer to 2k over the 4runner.

 

Washed, quick detailed and Cerakote the Matt black handles that were sun faded… My mirror caps are Cerakoted as well and they look great still. So, figure I’ll do the handles.

 

S&B Cold air intake 75-5039.
Install was easy peasy, however, the hose adapter (J) is now black instead of white (as pictured in their guide) and is a different design, which threw me off while reading their instructions for install.

Flowmaster Outlaw, 3/2 lift level, tires & rims on Wednesday. Can't wait to see my girl all dressed up!

 

What Cerakote product did you use?

 

This is what was used on the mirror caps as well. The pictures were about 5 minutes after application. The coat has soaked into the plastic a bit now.

 

Thanks.

 

I have some custom Alcons coming my way. I’m going to utilize them with the SOS flip kit to gain some travel without having to lift it. They are overbuilt 500 lbs. and have a 2.5” built in lift. With my flip kit, I should be 1.5” or so lower than stock on top shackle hole with the ability to lift 2.5”.

 

Nice. Did he buy it from you and have it shipped?

 

Yes he did. He’s very happy!

 

I can give an update after a couple washes to show how it’s holding up if you’d like? They are different plastics types. The mirrors are more of a smooth plastic and the handles are a bit more textured

 

This stuff is the shit. Used it on my wrangler for years.
