What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'd love to have the extra space for that equipment; plus you could host Tundra tire/wheel parties and let your buddies come over for some DIY!!!

 

And almost finished up the xkglow interior light addition. Thanks to TucsonTundra1794 for the info.

 

Chalk bags sure are handy... I don't climb anymore but still use chalk bags to hold dog training snacks and sometimes clip one on my toolbelt to hold screws or nails. I haven't used one for cord storage yet. I'll add that to the possibilities list!

 

Haha - that was actually just a temporary holding spot for the wiring for the interior LED lights I'm working on running/hiding behind trim! I use it for a 40oz water bottle. Initially thought it might get in the way and be a nuisance when driving - but its not been an issue so far. Likely helps that I'm 6'2" and have the seat all the way back, idk?

 

Got lucky and found a new-in-box old stock of the discontinued Toyota wireless charger. I had a knock off one for a little bit but took it out because it got so hot I thought it would melt.

 

What seat covers are these? I’ve seen a few carhartt options but they all seem a little too thin. That material looks pretty sturdy.

 

looks like they sell two 18x9 wheels in that model, one in +1 and the other in +12, so they could be +12

 

ah ok, still a 1.9" difference and not anywhere close to stock offset. but the tire poke on the OP's rig looks good

 

Carhartt Precision Fit. I only needed the fronts and they are used so I only paid $75 shipped.

 

What?!? I teach HS SPE in MI!

Very cool!

 

started to upgrade the rear power outlets to a 12v cig and dual USB, should be done tomm.

 

Man are we crazy or what?

 

You both should have medals awarded to you!

No joke, thank you for your service.

 

Any teacher doing what they're supposed to do to help these kids should get one, but I think we'd all just be happy to get a raise

 

Preach!

 

Oh, wow. I forgot I took it off and the first impression was "What? Something broke?", like wheel is falling off.

Sway bar-less truck is definitely more boaty. Requires lot more attention on highway. And that's on empty truck. Rear sway bar definitely works. I don't see why Toyota wasn't adding it to all pavement trims, such a drastic stability difference...

 

But what about the off road flex?

 

Going to put it to test this weekend.

 

I installed the driver's side grab handle last night. The process took about 20 minutes, including having to trim the new pillar cover. I'm very excited to get this item back. I had one in my '08 Tundra which I sold in '18 and I have missed it every time I get in since then. I've been watching the thread of orders being made to the overseas OE supplier but I got impatient and ordered from Fred Anderson Toyota in Raleigh, NC. I paid a bit more, but not much based on costs people are listing on that thread. I ordered on a Thursday and received on Saturday! Their website was also easy to use, i definitely recommend them for parts orders. This handle and the bed step are by far the favorite modifications for this grandpa. Both get used (and appreciated) regularly.

 

I gotta get mine ordered. I miss mine Everytime I get in it.

 

Replaced the factory lug nuts with SOLID lug nuts.

 

What ones did you go with? Do you happen to have a link?

 

I need to do this.

 

What does a machine like that cost? cost of the mounting machine and balance machine? I am working towards being more self sufficient.

 

Best to find one used… it’s fun to do if you have a lot of vehicles, but it’s cheaper to take them somewhere…. It’s also like installing a car lift in your garage… everyone wants to use it.. and your tools lots of “new” friends

 

There's a manually tire changer at Harbor Freight that has good reviews. But need to look into a balance machine.

 

Of course, You got the BEST color, Truck looks really good with the methods,

 

He says it was about $2100. Plus you need an air compressor, tire soap and a selection of wheel weights.

 

The cost for swapping tires here is now $43/tire...so owning this machine would be stellar!! $2100 is what I see for both setups used here... I'm still shopping for one though!

 

Added some brand new Fox 2.5 Performance Elite shocks today. They were tuned by Accutune Offroad! These replaced my Bilstein set up. I think the truck is now ready for my FWC Project M next month!
