What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Not yet I have a duel set of American standards 4.88 still in their boxes just waiting on the master install kits... but so far I am shifting at about 4500 and at 75mph in sixth I am close to 4k... I am at about 8mpg on winter mix though... it sucks going up hill...

 

If you're curious about tire size and gear ratios, I've attached an Excel workbook I picked up from a guy on the HPTuners website. Several of us supercharged guys have used it to figure out and program transmission shift points, but it's also great for identifying different things like engine RPM based on gear, MPH, tire diameter, and final drive ratio (diff gearing). You can enter values in the yellow filled cells.

I'm running 37's and went with 5.29s. I love it. Great for accelerating, towing, hauling, & keeping highway speeds.

 

I appreciate the info and if you get a chance I’d love to see a few more closer pics!

Thank you sir

 

I would have loved going with nitros and even 5.29 but I picked up the ones I got for a steal on offer up...

 

I’m glad my commute is relatively flat sooooo…gears can wait lol

 

Was weaping from around the actuator for "hi" i think. It wasn't dripping just coated. It has to be replaced from the inside so the shop split it in two, replaced the seals, and put back together. That was the cheap part compared to the rear main

 

You haven’t experienced any cold weather issues related to the screen? I’ve joined the Phoenix FB page and have seen a number of these issues coming up now that it’s gotten cold. Really hoping all the issues discussed on that page are like restaurant reviews in that for every bad review, there’s dozens of good experiences that don’t get posted. Yours still running well?

 

Yeah it's good BUT I park in the garage. It's 17F outside but about 45-50 in the garage.

 

Caught a deal at C4 Fabrication and ordered a Sherpa Little Bear roof rack, Overland Series bumper & Smittybilt X2O Gen3 12k winch.

Roof rack got here with the quickness and I was able to take advantage of the warm-ish temps today by installing it along with a new single row Rough Country 50" Spectrum light bar. I used a KC Wire Hider to route the light bar wiring down the A-pillar.

The bumper should arrive the beginning of March.

 

RW tire are for sale in the for sale forum. Yes they are 295/70 R18. Method have the 18 offset. I did Bilstien 6112s and ironman UCA as well. Little rub on driver rear mud flap.

 

Nice!!

 

that's so funny. I saw your ad on CL and posted it in the Craigslist finds page here on the forum. Hope they sell for you. How's your winter heater working out for you? We definitely had the temps last weekend for you to test it out.

 

Winter heater is the bomb. Thinking about setting one up semi permanent in garage too.
If they sell, cool. If not I’ll throw some summer MT on them and do some desert touring.

 

Had the front and rear diff fluids changed as well as the transfer case fluids. Not going to say how much as I probably got overcharged lol.

 

That sits perfect

 

I had mine done recently. $429. Gear oil isn't cheap anymore.

 

Yeah, mine was a little more than that. But I also had them look over the front end as I’m getting noise in 4hi. Unfortunately it got worse so it’s going back in Wednesday. Not looking forward to that diagnosis.

 

I'm going to abuse the crap out of mine this morning by driving out into a muddy, snow filled corn field to goose hunt. I hope I don't get stuck but if I do I'll call for the farmer to bring the John Deere and get me out. Always an adventure driving out into a harvested corn field.

 

I left out tax. w/tax mine was $460. I don't mind the cost. The shop I go to are excellent mechanics and straight shooters.

 

Not in the last day, but some of the things I've had done in the last few months:

2012 SR5 Crewmax 4x4 w/TRD (not Pro) option package. 128k miles.

Diff and xfer case oil change. $ to have someone else do it, but it lasts a long time with how many miles a year I drive.

Engine oil change. Definitely quieter in the top end, switched off of Mobil 1 that the engine has used since new.

New Bilstein 4600 shocks front and rear. 128k miles on the original 4600's which were pretty shot. New units have less jarring and bangy ride as to be expected. Ass end is a lot quieter now without half of an axle doing the jumping jacks over big bumps. Also had the front tower bushing plates swapped out for new. $20 ea.

I replaced the almost done for front rotors with EBC rotors and yellow pads and had the brake fluid replaced. The rear rotors were also warped and swapped with OE Toyota units. VERY big results. No more mushy pedal and stopping is fast and sure. Pads creak a bit, but I'll take that over bad stock brakes any day.

Replaced the dim halogen low beams with Sealight X4i LED. $99. BIG upgrade and they are made to replicate halogen beam pattern so there's no blinding oncoming traffic with them like cheap bulbs. Huge huge upgrade and much cheaper than Morimoto full housing units.

 

Just had a Bilstein 5100 2.5” lift with 35” Toyo R/T trails and 17” 703 Methods. 35X12.50R17 0 offset. Love it so far.

 

Does the clock " : " always blink? The colon between the hours and minutes.

 

Does it happen every second? ;⁠-⁠)

 

What bed cap is that?

 

Leer 100XR. I also had them install track on top for future racks.

 

Just installed the MESO Customs Map lights... Oh so awesome super easy to do and only takes 15 to 20 minutes, First picture is the before OEM lights yeah they kinda look bright in the Picture but when camping they suck next picture you just simply remove the upper console on 2007 it is just 4 number T20 screws and unplug one electrical connector.
3rd picture just pop out the old lens, reflector and bulb...
Picture 4 and 5 just put it all back in turn em on and look around truck.... oh crap I gotta clean it better inside here...

 

Nights ops engaged!

 

Oh I forgot to mention on the Box it says 2014 and up and that is true however Toyota has not changed the Map lights since 2007 so the same fits all.

 

FWIW you don't have to take out the upper console, just pop out the clear lenses with the console in place.
