What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Congrats!
Lucky kid!

 

Congrats! Also nice to have a vehicle large enough for car seats!

 

Congrats!

 

Damn to bad they won’t ship headlights. That would be a screaming deal

 

Congrats and here's to a smooth delivery!

 

Congrats!!!

 

Congrats! Don't get suckered into holding a leg! You stay right up top maintaining strong eye contact.

 

I 2nd this sage advice.

 

I need to do this so badly.

 

Nah that's my spot. Been right there for the other three and I've seen WAY worse.

 

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered a bed mat. Free shipping as well!

 

Just bought mine 2 weeks ago...almost. 2018 SR5 TRD Offroad Crew Max.

So far, Husky Liner floor mats to replace the crappy 'black carpeted generic mats' the dealer put in. Love the Husky over the Weather Techs I've had in other vehicles. Like the fact these are rubber.
Bought a center consol tray for the top.
Added a rear seat cover to protect the seat from my 3 and 7 yr old spilling stuff.
Today I added a StartX remote start. Still sorting it out but it appears to be working and took right at an hour to install after I flubbed something and it lost its program. I think.
Spent an hour under it hte first weekend I had it spraying Fluid Film on the frame to give it some sort of protection. Never done it before but hope to have this truck for a long time so figured I'd give it a try. Do a better job next summer as I need to flush the frame out of all the sand/dirt from its former life to do it right.

Truck already has a 3/2 or whatever lift you call it on it and side bar steps. Overall just enjoying everything but the fuel economy so far.

Oh, sucked the water out of the windshield washer tank. Water may work in Florida(where the truck lived its life) but that stuff don't fly in Indiana in the winter.

 

Good to know.
I've also seen how you drive that thing! (and I'm taking notes...)

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats! Not much better than wrestling with your toddler son!

 

Throw up some pics!

 

Loaded her with a pallet of stone for the planter project!

 

Finally took the plunge to tear my entire dash down again. Installed the last two Meso vent trim rings while I was in there. Installed the Rago dash plate with the ICS backing plate. Also upgraded the crappy USB port that comes with the Rago with a USB/USB C quick charge 4.0 port from bulletpoint mounting solutions. made my own harness and ran an add a fuse off the Power Outlet 2 socket in the interior fuse panel. Struggled (and failed) fishing my Auxbeam switch panel cable through the rubber grommet in the firewall, that’s a going to be a battle for another day.

 

No disrespect to your truck, but every time I see someone post up a picture with a load in the back of their truck, I notice the truck squats. It keeps reminding me that I need to pick up the RoadActive Suspension's heavy duty suspension kit before racing season starts and I'm towing the trailer loaded with bikes and equipment back and forth to the track a couple weekends a month.

As an aside, anyone else running the RAS HD kit? People suggest it lifts the rear about 1.5". My question is what would be an appropriate course of action for the front to offset the RAS lift affect in the rear? I'd like to keep the suspension as close to stock feel as possible. I'd prefer not to have more rake than I already have.

TIA!

None taken, Gecko...I like stock rake when empty. Right now, it's probably 1000-1400 lbs and she's lifting with her knees...

 

I have RAS HD in on my truck and it sits about 1.25-1.5 higher than stock. I added a 2" spacer level in the front and love how it sits now.

 

Also run the RAS HD, a little over an inch in the rear, but you could turn that back down to level if you wanted, just depends what spacer you use to set the spring. I'm a hair over 2.5" up front and have about an inch rake

 

Hey, thank you! May I ask, the 1.25-1.5 you have using the white disc or the black disc on the RAS? Would you be willing to share with me precisely the 2" spacer you are using to level your front?

Why not run airbags? That’s a common solution typically for people that tow

 

I am no expert but this solution appeals to me because it avoids the need to add compressor, air lines and switches that are required for airbags. It also might be more durable over the long term.

 

Understanding that its all just anecdotal evidence, but in reading up on this site, it just seemed like airbags were not the way to go (also friends with non-toyo p/u's also seem to have too many troubles with bags as well) and that the RAS seemed to be the consistently best solution all-round. I'll be both towing and hauling, but probably more towing than anything.

Went to replace the clips on my hood bulge and found one busted bolt bracket, 3 busted clip brackets, and the honeycomb part is broken loose in 2 other locations. Gonna have to epoxy that all back together and then I guess start saving for a new hood bulge and surround. Certainly not going to go back with the chrome.

 

I used the white disc, then a little more, but not quite the black disc...

I have a Mammoth 2" level kit from Extreme Terrain...https://www.extremeterrain.com/mammoth-tundra-2-in-front-leveling-kit-tu1460.html

no change in ride quality.

Here it is when it was just installed:

 

Thank you for the info ... but I think we need to work on the image uploading skillz.

Did you do the install of the Mammoth 2" level kit? If so, was fairly easy/straightforward?
.

 

Hah - I know - different computer so drag and drop...not my finest work!

I did not do the install - I had it in for tires and had them take care of it. Only took them 2hrs to do it.
