What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sure she did.

 

Installing the DD SS3 fogs is turning out to be quite the headache. The nuts are too small for the area in the fog frame, they just rotate. I had to use a screwdriver as a wedge to hold the locking nut tight and in course, snapped one of the bolts. They do not look to be the best quality. Also the 1" bolts are just way too short. Back to lowes for some stainless hardware upgrades. Now I need spacers. If anyone can 3D print me some that fit the mounting bracket footprint, I will pay. I do not want to use the plastic washers (not enough surface area)






Anyone on the forum want to print some 1/4" and 1/8" spacers that match this footprint? I will pay.

 

Below 60 is the sweet spot for max mileage. Everything over the MPGs fall off. At 65mph or so I can get 18mpg. At 58-60mph almost 19. Driving with traffic north of 70mph yields about 15.8-16.4mpg. Big brick.

I recently managed to get 20mpg+ driving 4hrs on the highway to Dallas, but I drove like a snail. Never let RPM get above 2000, stayed 60-65 mph, acceleration of molasses. It wasn't the most fun way to drive, more of an experiment to test the MPG limits. It's way more fun to hit the pedal and let that 5.7 roar

 

Recent trip from Vegas I was seeing 15mpg. This was including 80+ then passing blasts over 1XX. Not bad for dirty sevens and boost

 

Tailgate latch wouldn't unlock from the remote, but key would work. Thanks to the site, found it wasn't necessarily solenoid failing. Took off the access, cleaned the mechanism with degreaser, rag, and toothpicks, fresh generous spritzing of white lithium, good as new!

Did see some flex one side of the bracket for the handle 'axle', so worried that may be a weak point...I'll keep an eye out.

 

Wifi rear view camera installed. When tonneau cover is up, still can see the rear view

 

Just got done installing the amber grille LEDs on my Tundra. Gotta say though, I didn't think they were gonna be this bright But I do love the look! Waiting on my TRD grille badge n front end should be done for the time being.

 

Below 60... WTF?!?!?!?

 

Where did you get yours? Did they snap in the grill or how do they mount them? Did you put in a switch or tie them into something, like lights on or park lights etc.. thanks for the info.

 

Got them from https://yotaleds.com/

Comes with the exact hardware needed depending on the grille you have. No switch however there is an option when you order. I went by the instructions and wired them to INJ so I believe they stay on with the DRL.

 

Got the rear bilstein 5160s installed today on my lunch.

 

Finally got the new hood bulge in and good enough weather to spray it. Install was easy and the front end looks better. Now to address the front bumper and mirror chrome.

 

Drove it for the 1st time since August. I know, it's a damn shame.

 

Bay to Bay and Bayshore?

 

I know @snivilous had a shop

 

Where are you folks installing aftermarket dash cams? I'm installing a Garmin 67W this weekend and going for the optimal placement (i.e. no re-work)

Thanks...

 

Mine is right behind the rear view mirror. Make sure you don't block the light sensor on the mirror or it will get dark during the day.

 

So after the LED grille install today, I was bored and decided to do this ...
Remember seeing a member on here do the same and thought it looked pretty cool cept he plastidipped or powder coated his wheels black.(Thanks for the idea whoever you are)
Just $3 for the paint at hobby shop

 

I’m doing that

 

JL OSC doing its job. About 1100 miles in.

Installed the secondary aip relo lines today as well, pretty simple mod for some peace of mind.

 

I waited like 10 months for mine from Sparks. I ordered mine in Feb 2023 and just got the hood bulge like 2 wks ago. I will post pics of it all assembled.

 

Yes! Hahaha.... Super local conversation

 

Yep. I live in Pinellas but work at Macdill. I used to live in Brandon so I've traveled many miles on Bayshore. Definitely some nice scenery on 2 feet

 

Is that the sdhq kit for the relocation?

 

When I was driving east of Idaho rural I got 17-18 mpg. Big surprise to me since it was a mountain road. Interstates between FL and Idaho, constant speed at 70-75 mph I got 15 mpg at best.

 

Nah, this was the one that @reywcms put together.

 

Perfect, I'm actually trying to piece that together right now. Where did you find the -10an fitting male to a barbed 7/8" fitting? I can't seem to locate one.
