What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'll get this corrected...thank you!!

 

Thank you again for the "check!"

 

Some aftermarket was no good, did not last a year and others were Ok. I mostly buy Ryobi ones now.

 

Drove to the local farm market to get some honey.... I have to say, I hate driving this time of year. But! the good new is my Transfer Flow 46 Gallon tank should deliver this week.

 

Scored all this for $150 and a nice Sunday morning drive. I am not sure I will do anything with the Bilsteins, the sway bars were what I was after. Going to work on sourcing the hardware for the rear sway installation, some of the specialty hardware is missing. I really do not want to spend $70 for the rear swaybar hardware kit.

 

The instructions have the sizes.

 

Thank you, this should help immensely. All of the standard hardware I am sure will be no problem (Grade 8 of course).

My concern is these items:

I'm missing one of the the item in figure 6-1 (bushing bracket?) and two of the items in 7-1 (saddle brackets?)

 

From the transmission cooler/temps thread, got a Veepeak BLE+ OBD2 diagnostic, downloaded Fusion...still waiting for it to connect...argh!

 

PTR11-34091 is what u need.

 

That is the one that is around $70 that I would prefer to avoid, if possible. I may end up getting it though, for three lousy proprietary parts.
I am still way ahead of where I'd be if I bought both of the full sway bars brand new.

 

It's a '55 F100...I picked it up last year from a dead relative and it is an absolute blast to drive!

 

I'll bet, very nice!

I used to like same era Chevys better, but more and more came over to the Fords...I have two car projects I'll probably never finish, but that'd be the old truck I'd put on the list!

 

Same here...I've always been a Chevy/GM Fan and never noticed Ford for a minute...I'm just going to drive it until it can't anymore and consider updates...but it's nice standing out a bit with the old I6!

 

Threw a couple of these on:

 

Bypassed the factory amp. Have had an aftermarket headunit (Sony XAV9500) for over a year. After some reading on the forum and some help from members, found out that the headunit is capable of sending more power to the speakers than the factory amp therefore creating a cleaner, better sound. Is it life changing? No, but for the cost of the harness ($18) and about 10-15 minutes of prep/install it was well worth it.

 

Why?

 

Cheap security investment from them tailgate bandits.

 

Is stealing tailgates a real thing?

 

Kudos to all you folks that recommended the wireless Carplay thing to me.

installed in my 2020 in seconds.

seconds

it just worked.

I have been living wrong up till that point. Life is now easier.

 

Do you have a link to the one you bought?

 

In some parts of the country yes, similar to cats. Not all tailgates lock with the doors and it only takes 15 seconds to remove one. Since the Tundra is parked outside for $3 I can turn that 15 seconds into 3 minutes.

The Kenwood I had in my 2013 had wireless and I now have an AA Wireless with the Stock HU in my 2021. Can't argue the convenience of wireless AA/Car Play, but honestly I still find that I'm plugging in to a charging port most of the time any way.

now I set my phone on the wireless armrest charger.

 

Thanks for link! I assume you just plug it into the USB in front center console and just let it sit there? Sorry for all of the questions, I appreciate you help!

 

yup.

some tuck it...It just sits out on mine.

only weird thing is - the bluetooth name is "Volkswagen" - which is I guess a similar setup.

before you install - delete your present Tundra bluetooth connection....then plug in the new doo-dad.

it will make it easier.

 

Damn, it says its only for 2016 to 2022 Toyos.

 

I installed a pop lock or tailgate lock on mine. So I should be good.

 

If you have an aftermarket head unit, it will play nice with that...if needed...our "gen 1" 2.5 gens missed out on all the cool stuff!
