What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

New shoes!

275/65/20 Milestar Patagonia XTs mounted on 20x9.5 +6mm Black Rhino Axles.

Rubs a little on the mud flaps, but that’s a project for another day when it’s not pouring down rain. Also had to swap out the stock studs for the longer Dorman 610-471 studs.

 

Exactly.

 

I think it's more like our bank accounts know our limitations but we need to work on that

 

Was taken by a friend outside their hangar at DM AFB during a summer monsoon....back in '08?

If I can find the folder with the files on my computer Ill DM you.

 

:

 

Where did you get the handle from? I need one too!

 

here’s the detail on the parts you need. You can probably buy the trim and handle part from other dealers that have it in stock now and find the other parts at Lowe’s if you don’t want to wait for the back order from Sparks.

Thanks. I had an order in for 9 months with another Toyota dealer just for the handle and a-pillar piece. Finally cancelled it since they saw no movement. I will use this info and search for pieces. Thanks again!

 

I ordered from Fred Anderson Toyota when there was a deal posted around Christmas.

 

Installed TRD shifter mod (thanks to @charliebison for the sale).



Yes I still need to tone down the chrome around the shifter....its on the to-do list.

 

I was inspired, once again, by @ToyoMafia and installed the topo steering wheel surround by Meso Customs and laser etched by Coops Customs.

 

Thank you much! You 'da Man!

 

Found an exhaust leak coming from the flange between the mids and cat pipe (I'm catless so whatever you call it when you don't have cats there). I replaced the mid pipe some months ago and used hi-temp RTV to form the gasket but it's leaking now. Anyone know what part number I need to find the gasket that'll fit between those two?

There's nothing like this that we use?



There are these on Advance Auto's site as well.

 

Lovin' the Buc-ee's 'dope' tin

 

Best flavor.

 

I feel like the Tundra engineers got together with Buccees and put that little spot right there for storing their Sour Orange Mints...

 

So much better than the Cotton Candy ones - although Mrs. Bandito strongly disagrees with me.

 

Ditto, our wives must be related.

 

So would that make us BROTHERS?!

 

havent tried either of those yet. I usually stick to the breakfast burrito. I am full for some time after that.

 

I buy the damn Sour Orange mints in bulk when they have them in stock.

 

Rub in reverse is gonna call for some modification of the front wheel wells. Took off the front mudflaps now and have no rub going forward. Hoping a heat gun and some persuasion do the job.

 

I will check them out if I swing by this weekend. The largest thing I miss about being in TX was being so close to 2 of them. Now its a 3 hour drive that I make roughly monthly.

 

Yeah, sadly that would probably be the thing I miss most about living here. I'm about 13 miles from one and pass it a few times a week.

 

I used to live in Keller, so I was a weekly shopper of the one near TMS. But then they opened the Denton one, so I stopped more frequently with work commutes.

I do not miss that traffic though!

 

I'm near Bastrop - east of Austin and the traffic is much better than what you'd have had to deal with up there.
