What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

replaced the PCV valve yesterday.

 

I drove mine today to check the mail. Was feeling cute so I snapped some pics.

 

I wish you wouldn't felt cute. Now I regret not getting that gray Pro a few years ago instead of my white SR5.

 

mounted my hitch cargo basket.... So I could pick up a Traeger pellet smoker...

 

I've never really been a fan of red trucks (cars in general); but that deep dark red on your rig is

 

LOL. Believe it or not, Army Green was always my first choice and Black was initially my second choice. It was slim Pickens in the middle of 2020 but I’m thankful my wife pushed me to get the MGM as soon as I got the call it was in the pipeline. The color grew on me and I love it. Very versatile color.

 

Thanks for the compliment. I went with OME 5.1BPS. Best decision I made for this truck. I had the Bilsteins 5100s on prior. They were ok, but still the ride was rough. The OME’s are superb, if you want to adjust the shocks, I can do it on the ground. I have them currently set at I would call a mid setting. I still have the ability to raise the truck up some more. But this is already too high for my wife….lol.

 

Nice setup for sure. I’ve heard that about the Bilsteins before. I’m looking to go with Eibachs sometime soon. Black Friday maybe…?

 

Good looking truck ya got there! Dig the color

 

Me too haha

 

I use this. It's amazing

Trick is to heat the product to roughly 120° & shoot it around 70 psi. Made sure the set screw is set almost all the way out. Until I figured those things out, I couldn't use the 360 wand

 

I'm using a 20 gal from HF

 

Woow, that's alot of red.
But I like red.

 

Where did you buy this from?

 

What the hell is that white stuff all over your driveway? I don't have that stuff here.

 

Grrrrr

But I'll be in Florida after Christmas for three months so I'm good.

 

What part? Im in the Tampa/St Pete area. Ha....80+ degrees on Christmas gets old too lol.

 

I have used the Surface Shield in the cans for the last 2 years and have not had any issues. I recently used cans I has left over from last year without any issues. It may be the luck of the draw and eventually I may get some bad cans.

 

Stealership

 

I bought 5 cans of surface shield last week to hit small crevices inside the doors on my vehicle. One was defective as soon as I took the top off. The other made it 25% before running out of accelerant. Local HF allowed me to exchange them

 

Thanks for reminding me, I've got to buy a hitch cargo basket today.

 

We're in Arcadia. Still getting the house fixed after the hurricane. They just delivered the carport aluminum last week and it's sitting in the driveway.

 

I remember now.......hope it all goes well. We just put a metal roof on ours over the summer. It dropped my insurance almost $1400.

 

Unfortunately we still have shingles on the roof which also have to be replaced. They did hold up well and had no leaks but a few were compromised so they are doing the entire roof.

 

That sucks bud, but glad you all on back to repair all of it.

 

Well, pushed this off for 6 months but finally got a full size spare for the truck to match the new tires

had to buy a new wheel that could fit the 35x12.5 tire but it was worth it (does not match other wheels, just cheapest wheel I could get from discount tire)

have the 35x12.5x20 installed under the truck bed with just enough room. Note- did have to let some air out of tire to get to fit, but able to do so without cutting anything.

I carry a small air compressor for inflating tires in truck at all times, so not worried about low pressure in spare

 

Got an oil change at the dealership. I had a coupon. Saved about $5.00. I also had them replace the driver side front door lock actuator. They have a deal of buy 3 tires and 4th one for $1.00. While I was waiting, I asked them the cost of 35X12.50R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. He said $460 something. I don’t remember the exact price. I asked him if he would price match Rough Country price of $411.00. That’s what’s on the RC website. He checked and said yes. So, 4 tires plus an alignment is $1576.07 installed They had to order the tires. I think I got a good deal today. I wanted 37’s but my better 1/2 said no. I’ll be happy with 35’s.

 

For some reason, his appears to be a deeper, darker shade of red
