What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

That creeper looks comfortable.

 

It's not bad! I love the nut n bolt trays. $75 bucks, Amazon. I should have bought one years ago.

 

I’ve always just used a piece of cardboard to slide around underneath my vehicles. I may need to upgrade to one of these though.

 

Just bought a Pedal Commander. It’s my first upgrade for my 21 Tundra that I bought 2 months ago. Next? Leveling kit. I’m taking it slow.

 

Log Out and block this website if you want to take it slow..

 

Chalk bag cupholder mod.
Already posted this on my build page, but who does not like more photos, err.. money spending inspirational ideas!

 

Hah! I’ve read so many posts on here. I didn’t even know where to start. Love the site and love my Tundra. Coming from an Ecoboost though I kinda missed the quick takeoffs. And yes, I’ve used the Tow/Haul button!

 

Stay away from the supercharger and long travel suspension threads

 

just search around. You’ll have that lift in no time.

 

I decided to try a test strip on the coolant and brake fluid. They have never been changed. The 18 tundra has 33K miles so it’s had an easy time. The test show I’m good for a while.

 

Lol, my 2006 Tacoma 4.0 4X4 with 300,000 miles still has original coolant, hoses, brake fluid, power steering fluid. Did partial auto trans fluid replacement back around 100K and haven’t touched it since. Only repairs I’ve done outside of consumables and maint have been alternator and Front Hub bearings, and I replaced 1 bad ignition coil a few months ago. I’ll never sell that truck

 

Just like 90% of the vehicles on the road, including mine.

 

Sunbathing truck

 

Nice...I like it!

 

Had some bad luck and some good luck
The bad is getting clipped by an over-eager lane cutter. Thankfully I could drive home and haven't sold my 4Runner yet, so I have a working car while I go through the insurance gauntlet. Only been two days but I already miss driving the Tundy. Look what they did to my boy!

The good is the early arrival of the Alpine head unit, part of the great Alpine rush of 2023. Can't wait to get the truck back from the shop and get this installed! I've watched so many install and feature videos, it is going to be awesome. So I have a little time to procure the other supplies needed.

Not pictured is an ebay bed step I got but also will wait to install

 

@AZBoatHauler Thanks for posting the video

New drop hitch

 

Yeah, stick with the what oil grade and change interval threads!

 

Ahhh yes, much better. Those P-rated LTX's that I had for the last 30k miles on this truck were tired. On to the Destination X/T E-rated!

 

Pedal Commander or the Banks Pedal Monster?

 

Color matched and installed some chase lights in an aftermarket third brake light. Fiberglassed and smoothed the transitions from lights to bezel. Wired everything up to match the brake lights with a simple “rear lights” button inside the cab.

 

That’s a clean looking bumper

 

It’s true every time I leave this site I have to have a sit down with myself and talk myself out of removing any chrome or lifting anything…

 

Good work. Looks awesome!

 

Thanks!!

 

Dang. So frustrating. So unnecessary.

 

New tires are on! 295/70r18 on +25 methods. I tried to use the heat gun method and on while doing off camber reverse turns still had fender liner rubbing. I didn’t want the funny line of a bumper shim so I compromised. I removed a small portion but left enough to protect the back of the fog light assembly. Now it is nowhere near anything. I attached some pictures to help answer the most common tundra questions

 

and pedal commander in combination?
