What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Went to the local pick and pull since they had a 2012; thought I'd pull the OEM CVs, but the axle nuts were seized, so that was a no-go. Ended up grabbing the DS grab handle and the overhead console.

Not bad for $6 for the for the grab handle, and no wait time. Gotta figure out how to mount the console.




Spent another $11 picking up the capture nut(only could buy a pack of them) from Napa.

Also picked up new visors for my 2003 Accord shitbox. And grabbed the ABS sensor from the 2012 to have a spare.

 

Recieved today... In retail K&N packaging.

 

Playing around with custom emblem

 

Did you relocate your sensor or is that over the sensor?

 

Installed the TRD Pro suspension today along with some Rally Armor mud flaps in an attempt to keep the truck clean. My 200k TRD suspension was pretty worn, I got quite a bit more lift than expected and it looks great. Also picked up the trailer for a camping trip.

 

Over

 

Tried to fit a second chalk bag into the center console today. The driver side got in the way of my leg and the passenger side blocked the clips from locking.

So now I have a second bag, I'll post for free in the right section when I get home. And I'll make sure we have one bottle to fit in the passenger one and then a cup holder friendly one for myself on these drives.

Also, scoped out a campsite in NE Florida for next month. Good day!

 

Cool. Hope it works out well. Would be fun to have more options

 

Threw a new sway bar on with new end links from BDS. The old bushings weren't lookin too hot.

 

Looks great! Whats your wheel/tire set up?

 

Yeah working with this as the prototype, once I get it all dialed in I can offer different designs/colors

 

Icon Thrusts +25mm, 315/70R17 Goodyear Territory MT's.

 

Any more pics of your rig?

 

There is one here, pre lift. I will try to get some more in the upcoming days.
Cheap 315/70r17 Tires

 

Can you give any details or links on what you did?

 

Installed the Static Climbing bag mod. Incredibly easy to do, and the console still clips right in with no obvious change to trim piece fitment. It fits both the big Nalgene and also a 28 oz blender bottle.

 

They are too thick and bulky. A regular size bungee cord cannot hook around it. They will work with tie down straps.

 

What's the "right" section??

 

Finally ordered the Ironman Raid Off-Road front bumper. Had a $1500 CD mature so checked the Ironman site and couldn't believe that they were on sale for only $1199!



They also had a promo code to get a couple of their Reco-Traks recovery boards free with purchase, so scored those at a $250 value. Super happy! Then went and watched a ton of review videos for winches and did some research and got a well-reviewed 13k winch for $250.

I'm hoping I can use the OEM fog lights with the new bumper. I will fabricate a bracket if needed. Truck goes into the local shop tomorrow to get the rear leveled. With the Leer canopy and Decked system, there is about an inch or so sag in the rear that drives me crazy. Whenever I hook up my ATV trailer to it, it sags about 2" and looks awful. Bought Tuff Country add-a-leafs so hopefully that will help.

Next mods are going to a 285/75/17 tires, which is a 34.5" tire.

 

How's the ride feel compared to the original TRD suspension ?

 

Exactly what I was looking for, plush. I had Fox 2.5’s on my GX470 and was looking for a similar ride and this is it.

 

That's good! Have you towed with the new suspension yet? How's it feel around the corners compared to the original suspension?
I have the Fox Pro Suspension sitting in my basement all packed in a weather tight box just waiting for it to be installed.

 

I have not towed with it yet, very soon though. I have only driven around the block a few times. Need to get in for an alignment next.

 

Please Keep us posted on how it does. I don't tow a small enclosed trailer about once a month during the warmer months to transport 2 dirt bikes.
I have read that the PRO suspension is not the best for towing due to the leveled stance. This is one of the reasons I have not installed my PRO Suspension yet.

 

It is definitely level, maybe a hair low in the back with the Decked drawers and topper. I am going to hook up the trailer today and see how squatty it looks. I have some All Pro shackles coming to lift the back .75", hopefully back to how it should be. They were supposed to come in today but UPS strikes again, they will arrive when the rain hits.

 

In the works

 

I am sure there is a sell section or free section somewhere. I am traveling so I havent looked. If you like the one I have in my build, pm as I have a second on.

Today we are getting an alignment.

Im also wrapping up the design of my dual battery set up and should be starting to install that in April.
