What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Which parts are those? Is that the MESO ones?

 

Believe so, got them from @mcharfauros a while back. Installed the outsides and have been putting off the center ones due to how ridiculous the removal of the trim around the radio is.

 

Lol. Christmas gift!

I told him to start it in turtle and shift it into rabbit

 

Hahahah

 

If the satin is too shiny, a coat or matte clear will help.

 

nice, looks like a pretty straight forward install. How would you rate the difficulty compared to changing spark plugs?

 

Not even sure I know what the hell I'm looking at

Is that on top of the HVAC blower fan wheel thingy???

...and which way is the camera pointing???

 

Cab air filter inside the glove box.

 

Finished roughing in my DYI bed rack. I’ve got some squaring up to do and some additions to put together, but I’ve got a good start now. This is DYI - I designed it and made all the brackets myself. It’s sortof a cross between xtrusion overland and uptop. My fabrication skills are somewhere between beginner and WTF was I thinking, so I’m pretty proud of it. I’ll do a more complete write up and post in a few days.



and a quick 4Runner pic since it’s in the pic above

 

Had the glove box (and 78% of the rest of the interior ) apart to put in two little black AC vent rings and noticed a few mouse droppings. Inspected the cabin air filter and found a few more. Looked into the cabin air opening and just above the blower fan was an opening (in the pic) that had been chewed on.

 

I just added the app module for my 12Volt.Solutions remote start. I should've done from the beginning. One of the best mods I've done.

 

Then I'm gonna say, no that opening shouldn't exist

 

My brother (not on this forum) hit 200K on his '16 (SR5 CM):

I'm only 132,000mi behind him with my '14

 

Easy install. Haven’t tackled the spark plugs yet.

Just gotta remove the OE PCV hose and slide in the JL OSC hoses provided. Then mount the separator next to the radiator with provided hardware.

 

Subd

 

I installed one of these catch cans as well… I dropped one of the hose clamps somewhere around the engine. I gave up looking for it and just hoping it doesn’t re appear at some point destroying a belt or something. Haven’t emptied the catch can yet though. I’m new to the tundra, but I’ve had a Tacoma and 4Runner before and had one on all those. Works great. Amazing how much oil… and in winter, water it catches.

 

Got rid of all the chrome, swapped out the halogen headlights and fog lights for the leds, added the bilsteins to level and added scs ray 10s. Other odds and ends done too. Lmk what you think. I still have to adjust the front bumper. It’s higher on one side than the other

 

Looks great!

 

beautiful

 

Looks so good! Tufskinz makes voodoo blue letters for the grille. It'll probably look really good. I have white ones to match my super white truck and I love them.

 

Looks great! Can I ask what height you set your bilsteins to? And tire size and wheel specs?

 

I was thinking about that, but I’m afraid it might be too much blue. Might need the black to break it up. Do you have a picture of your front end?

Thank you! The bilsteins are set at the middle setting, no shims added and nothing added in the rear. I just wanted it leveled. The tires are 285/70r18 on scs ray 10 wheels 18x9 +25 mm offset. I had to take off the front little air dam thing, added the bumper shims to push the front bumper forward .5 inches and trimmed part of the front mud flap… I wanted to put them back on but not rub. But no rubbing now

 

@BlueRibbon4x4 @RobertD please set him straight on this.

 

Damn that looks good… tempting. I like your hitch receiver shackle. That’s agency 6?

 

Negative. No receiver shackle on my truck.

 

Oh lol. Well there’s a white tundra right above your post that had a nice receiver shackle lol

 

Different grille, but if I had gone the Pro grille route I definitely would have paint matched the letters.

Here's mine with blue in the center. I think it looks good. But I do like the blue and black working together so find the balance that works for you. I mock up pictures (using paint or phone) to get a feel for if I like something.

 

Well my grille is all black. So I get it, everything else on the other hand…
