2.5 Gen Double Cab Thread.

texasrho83 what does that mean?

 

Stock wheels, minimal lift and usually mud grapplers stuffed

 

love my DC

 

Nothing but an almost bone stock 2WD SR5, but I still can't walk away from her in a parking lot without a backward glance. I love this truck more and more as the years and the miles fly by.

 

What wheels are these? Very nice looking

 

Sorry, I just saw this. Tires are BFG KO2s in 315/70R17 mounted to Icon Six Speeds 17"x8.5" with 25mm offset (5.75" backspace).

 

May have posted in this thread a while back but I have a different camper setup now…

 

That's a money setup and camping spot!

 

The only reason I have the truck is for the bed, otherwise I would happily be driving a dainty SUV. Homeownership requires a lot of bed use!

 

Dechrome that thing

 

Yea, I have no idea how to do that, and no desire to learn! So, unless I feel like paying the auto body shop owner (my prior neighbor, so I would get a discount) it's keeping it's chrome! Not to mention I just found out I need a whole new tub/shower at a cost of 6+ grand, an extensive filling and crown on one tooth, and a root canal redo on another one, AND I want to get out of my 50.00 an hour nursing job before I die from misery to go work at a much less paying paramedic job so I won't dread the next 20 years of working, it will be a while before I have the cash to pretty up the truck!

 

To me dechroming one of these Tundras makes them look better, but it isn't cheap.

Your truck looks great as it is.

 

Took the turd to western Maine again. 3000 mile round trip and she ran 80mph up and back and all day at 10mph in 4wd running the logging roads like a champ. I love this truck like it loves gasoline.

 

Yep, I went from this:

To this:

 

On the ferry and on the island. Night shot is a full moon.

 

Hey there what size Falkens? Sitting nice!

 

34”?

 

I’m looking at 285/75r18 when the time comes.

 

A couple pictures at dusk. It changed the cement color to something completely different.

 

Roger that. Thank you!

 

One more.

 

Did you install a front hitch receiver to support your fishing gear racks?

Bigger tires on stock wheels.

 

Yes sir, went with the Curt brand. Had good luck with one on my Tacoma but the Tundra model is much simpler with only 4 bolts on the tow hook mounts. The Tacoma model was 3 separate pieces and mounted to the frame rails with a bunch of hardware, little more cumbersome. I did have to order some longer fine thread metric hi tensile flange bolts from McMaster Carr to be able to also run the tow hooks with the hitch mount. Stock bolts weren’t long enough. I also have a beefy 10k hitch drop/riser (made for a motorhome car dolly) that I run to raise the basket for more ground clearance too. Same setup I ran on the Tacoma as well.

 

The last time it was clean

 

One more thing, had to buy/run an extension since the front hitch sits pretty far back under the bumper.

 

@SYNCRO, very interesting, thanks for the detailed description. Lots of experts on this forum and very generous in sharing. Thanks again!

Our 2019 tow rig (new to us).

Right after we bought it Mrs ordered the running boards, tow mirrors, and hard tonneau cover. I just found a driver’s side a-pillar grab handle, and I’m ordering a cargo divider. I really want to do the color matching door handles.

 

That's some approach angle you got there!
