What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nope, quiet like stock. Filling and bleeding little whine since it was empty but once filled no issues.

 

Please stop spreading this non-sense.

 

Well I had an incident with my air compressor a few months ago and needed to take it out and check the connections. When I installed it I only had the use of one arm because it was after my shoulder surgery. I wanted it in so I did it and it was a MFer for sure but got it done. Well that thing vibrates a lot and I told the guy at Extreme Outback and he said


Regarding rubber isolating the compressor, my advice is not to use individual rubber “feet” but to use one slab of rubber (something maybe 7” wide by 9” long if you have the room) and drill four little holes where the compressor foot bolt goes through. The best isolator we’ve found is rubber horse stall mats. The secret is these are made up of compressed granules of rubber with a lot of air space between them to dissipate the energy. A solid rubber pad may transfer the vibration due to being too stiff and hard. The horse stall mats are very dense but porous. That is the secret to dampening vibrations. Here is a sample of the product I’m talking about:

$124 American Floor Mats - Horse/Stable Mats - Heavy Duty Stall Mats - Thick, Durable Rubber Flooring Solid Black 3/4" Thick - 3' x 4' Mat

¾” would be preferable and it is available at farm and ranch supply, feed stores and Tractor Supply or Amazon.

So that was todays job…

Before (forgot to take one so this is from Colorado)



make room to work



Cut to fit



All back together



3/4” thick

 

And what were the results? Noticeable improvement?

 

Where did you pick up the CF interior...actual or just wrap?

 

Like this. Looking at using a sheet of starboard for mine. Basically cutting board material, but in sheets, and 1/3 the price of a premade truck specific panel.

 

I don't know about you, but in my experience "pretty" cost money... the ugly ones were always cheaper.

 

This let me keep to my blue theme. Not cheap but a whole lot cheaper then buying thr TRD kit, and I'd already upgraded to the AFE filter so I really only needed to add the "straight" tube. Plus, who doesn't like a fun paint project

 

I sanded & sealed mine & shes gtg. Cost about $25 and I’m left with 2/3 of a sheet of nice plywood for other projects. I’ll burn in my kids birthdates in Roman numerals on it I think. Nice little momento

 

Which ALPINE model System did you go with?

 

Hit the 35000 mile mark and changed the oil and filter. First go round with the Fumoto in place and what a mess free set up that is.

 

Great idea using the bucket!

 

Then, put a fumoto on the bucket to decant it back into the bottles for recycling at the LAPS.

 

3.5 gallon bucket slid right underneath the skids, didn't spill a drop

 

been laid up for the week, but got something done before the surgery that I have been waiting to complete. finally. i present to you, heritage toyota centercaps on my methods.

 

Feel better Ryan.

 

I use the 16 quart container from autozone but still manage to splash a few drops. Definitely going the bucket route from now on.

 

When I started the truck I was standing outside and then I turned the switch on. I thought it was noticeably quieter but then I thought I was expecting that so I am going to do it again tomorrow. I did sit in the drivers seat and there is much less vibration that before so that is a good thing

 

Renewed the registration 2 years in the books.

 

Soon you're going to need a pilot's license!!

 

This and the transmission cooler is next on the list… I think I found some angle brackets on Etsy that I’ll be able to mount the PS cooler.

 

Amazon also has 6061 aluminum L brackets

 

I relocated my secondary air injection pump intakes and cut an inch out of my rear fenders.

 

Well recently finished installing the front and rear bumper ends and grill. Very satisfied with the results.

 

Looks really good! What fenders are those?

 

Thanks. They are the stock Toyota fender flares that came with the truck.

 

Got rid of the steps put on RCI sliders

 

that looks really clean!!!!

 

Thanks.
