What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Got some groceries:

Cute lil duffer.

 

SDHQ Dual battery kit. This kit requires patience… I took me hours just to replace the power steering fluid line under the engine and the battery tray mounted under the tiny space between the fender liner wall and sheet metal… mostly due to working in tiny spaces and dealing with hose clamps in awkward positions (this was the “gotcha, haha you thought this would be easy but it’s not” moment). Overall, instructions were fine. And if I can do it, anyone can.

My only concern after install was added protection to the terminals, so I’m adding fuses at the main battery terminal and aux battery terminal… I went to SDHQ for the kit and to Blaze Off-road for the terminal fuses.

There are no YouTube videos for a 2.5 gen Tundra, but there’s enough out there to search for what’s needed.

The plan is to add a 1000w inverter but still not sure where to put it.

 

That windshield reservoir relo kit is clutch. It’s nicely tucked away in the back. Thing is though, I think I’ll have to use a funnel now to refill the blinker fluid.

 

Very nice, looks OEM

 

For those search engine experts: I've looked but I'm such a noob (apparently) and can't seem to find it. Is there a video or a walk through on changing out the rear cigarette lighter socket ti a USB port? I have a bench front seat. Any and all help or pointing in the right direction will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

True. I was worried about the size of it; only 2 quarts. But that’s probably fine. Cut an old spray bottle and made a funnel because after this install, no more money to spend on a $5 funnel.

What's she for? Project not on the tundra, right?!

 

Went for a morning rip. Played with the lower bypass tubes get rid of the small bump chatter. Felt damn good and was a on tear on my loop until the Christmas tree dash. Smoked an abs sensor. Easy fix.

Powertank setup is awesome I like it better than my dual arb under the seat.

 

Truck has started to sound like it was falling apart when parking or backing out of a spot. Skid plates were creaking and got really bad. I’ve got the full skid from Talons Garage. I put some plastic washers between the plate and the mounting point. It was easier than I thought it would be. I loosened and lowered the engine skids without taking them off. I was able to get the washer on one bolt at a time. It made a dramatic difference. The noise is all but gone now. I think I can hear a little creak at the cat shield/transmission/transfer case shields, but it may be my imagination. I may take a look at those tomorrow.

Used these washers from Lowe’s

 

Correct. A new (but used) transmission for my daughter’s 2009 Subaru outback

 

Where did you purchase these? I need to do this as the creaking is bothering me.

 

Says lowe’s

 

Thanks - I have difficulty reading

 

Parked it at the end of the driveway as I sealed the driveway this am. Back is aching!

 

Looks good.
What product did you use? I need to do mine.

 

Thanks Jim. VelveTop, black 5g bucket, yellow writing. Nice and thick, used 4 buckets. Dumped it all into 1/2 of a 55g fiber drum to blend and assure matching color. Took about 3 hrs. I think I measured the sq footage at 1550 or so.

 

Towed a couple mini kei trucks with my looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong bed

 

Productive weekend so far..

Revesol steering wheel

2nd DIY oil change with the Motive kit(highly recommend) and installed Fumoto

Installed some rubber washers on my skids to hopefully get rid of some creaks n pops

 

This.....

 

That’s the stuff. 37.99 5g here.

 

Cabin filter. No clue when it was changed last as I bought the truck used.

 

Rear diff breather mod. Did not use The threaded bolt hole because it is too close to the dual exhaust line.

 

I have a Talon set, the same thing. Winter gets pretty creaky. I did the same as you but used pieces of an old dirt bike inner tube. I like your nylon washer idea better.

 

Man I have been so close to pulling the trigger on a daihatsu

 

This should be what you are looking for. The video of the crewmax shows the replacement for a USB port. The other short video gives a good idea of the clip layout on the bench seat panel. The two panels seem to be fairly similar.

Changed air filter and added Perry parts bump stops.

 

lowes. Tried to catch the part number or size in the packaging

 

Been waiting for an update.

I want a CO2 can for my RV. Id rather carry a small can that needs no power to air up tires before a tow.

 

Here's the rubber ones I put on today. They seem to do the trick so far.
