What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Returned order to the universe of steering wheel controls

 

So, howz the feel of the new hardware??

I was a bit skeptical about the circuit board replacement and such leaving it not feeling like an OE control, so I thought I'd wait on your 'professional' opinion....

 

now we need someone to wire the rear window to the steering wheel

 

YMMV. I run tow/haul in S mode 24/7. It goes well enough and I feel it's the way the truck should be stock. It goes better if I press the gas farther. PC will burn more gas just like pressing the gas farther will. IMO it's dumb to pay that much money for something that presses the gas more with less pedal effort. It provides no more power than the engine has stock. Again, YMMV.

 

Did the front turn signal light recall mod today. Much brighter/safer now!

 

Looks good! I'm thinking about doing the same type of methods. Any chance you could get a picture from the front/back to show tire poke please? That's the one thing I've been having trouble finding pictures of!

 

Can't tell the difference from OEM to new. Seriously, the only things swapped are the outer button and the PCB - the little rubber contact pad (which provides the "feel" of the buttons when pressed) is all factory. In theory, you could leave the outer button as factory, but the icons would be wrong...

 

Sold

 

Installed the motor for my rear window power conversion. Yes, the entire window has to be changed, not just the center slider.

 

Top table is tow//haul and bottom is normal. Top row is accelerator pedal position and the colored boxes are throttle body degrees. The larger the number in the colored box, the quicker the throttle comes on. This is exactly what all of these pedal commanders are doing. They are manipulating the signal going to the ecm to trick it. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Busy weekend. relocated the rear diff breather, removed the old spare, installed bed stiffeners, installed the hypertech/rough country speedo adjustment harness, and installed the FRAC harness and front facing camera. Used the yotaleds mounting plate for a clean install.

 

Is there a walkthrough on how to add this?

 

Did my first oil change since I've had the truck. Used the MotivX kit. I folded up some cardboard to funnel the oil from the plug opening into the oil pan and still had a bit of splash. Luckily I put down a huge piece of cardboard on the ground.
Installed a Jowett canister with EZ Drain valve. Also replaced the oil plug with another EZ Drain valve. Future oil changes will be easy. I love the MotivX funnel!

Shit, this is awesome. Need to make sure my wife doesn’t see this or she’ll be asking me to install ditch lights on her Wrangler so she can have ditch-o-lanterns, lol

Geno might be able to give you some ideas

 

I'm in the process of creating it. It will roughly cost about $1K for the conversion.

 

That’s not hateful tbh

 

I'd say a 1/2"-3/4" or so. But, I have the JBA uppers on my truck. Not sure on the clearance difference between those and factory.

 

Thanks
That's why I was asking. The 35x11.5 is close in size to a 295/70R18 (that I'm running) and have about 1/2" of clearance. Upgrading the UCA's is on my list, but I've seen a few people that upgraded to different UCAs and didn't have enough clearance for factory offset rims.

 

I've found that a 5 gal bucket works better than a traditional oil drain pan. No splashing.

 

I'd thought about upgrading UCAs, but didn't for this reason. There are several 'factory offset' measurements, and after a little research I couldn't get a read on whether the BBS wheels were +50 or +60. The TSS wheels I have on mine are +50, and my tires are 285's, so if they'd fit a +60 with 295's, I'm probably good.

 

Such a nice clean look!

 

Spent the afternoon taking my rusty sliders off. Going to look into getting them stripped and re-coated. Not gonna lie though, I like how clean it looks without them on. Kids have a little more trouble getting in though

 

You definitely put them thru some winter’s Torrey! Getting them redone be like new!!

 

We hit the 10k mark, and it looks like it's time for an interior cleaning. I didn't realize it was that dusty until I uploaded the pic.

 

Man, I thought I was low mileage. I’m at 2 years 16k miles!

 

Be very careful. That lens will scratch easily. That's why I put a screen protector on mine.

 

Imagine this with a roof light bar...

 

I was thinking this during my run. Going fast at night def needs way more lightning.
