What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thank god it wasn’t 8 neutrals

 

as @TRDFerguson and @BiggHertz mentioned all forward gears neutral. Reverse holding strong lol

 

you sent me the site…

 

I was thinkin' the same $hit!!!

 

Gotta teach them young lol. In my defense, just installed new ceiling lights from Costco in my son’s room. It’s the brightest room for a good picture.

 

What tool and/or method did you use to remove the stock bumps? I've got a set of superbumps I need to put on.

 

Just a set of channel lock pliers- they came off pretty easy.

 

Big pair of channel lock pliers and for me it was easier with the wheel removed for more room to work

 

That looks awesome, can't believe you made that out of legos!

 

So I'm shopping for bump stops for my 2020 as crossing a few rutted and muddy places going camping and hitting bumps on the gravel I drive on every day caused it to bottom. I've looked at Perry, Timbren....is there any difference, any better than each other?!??! Thanks

 

I’m pretty happy with my Wheelers super bumps on the front. I have a set to go on the rear when I pull the airbags and put the RAS system on. I threw the fronts on a day before a 2500 mile trip around Southern Utah. They improved the ride so much that even the girlfriend and kids commented on it.

 

if the wife commented something positive about a mod, thats good enough for me, thank you good sir!!!

 

Also, why do the fronts of all only come with two bump stops when there are 4 oem bump stops?!?! To me that would seem like a good way to apply a nice torsional load on your LCA when it does hit, I think I'm going to order 4 for the front.

 

I keep waiting to see an axle, leaf springs, or engine block on the kitchen table. I think he is well aware of his wife's tolerance window lol. If he ever disappears, we should look for oil or grease on the carpet.

 

I agree. Noticed a pattern resulting in damage on trucks used very hard, enough to remove mine (in hindsight there was no reason for me to have them with a secondary shock). Probably fine for most uses.

 

I have 4 on the front of mine. Wheelers in the back and Perry parts in the front.

 

I've got Wheelers Super Bumps up front and Sumo's on the rear

 

Pattern? What are you seeing? I went back and forth on trying to understand why the front bump stops only came with 1 for each side, but after discussing on here and with the vendor I was under the impression that was the intended use. Are there others suggesting the need for 4 up front?

Watching the Super Bumps installation video and they say just replace the one...hum I wonder why?

 

Broken motor mounts and bent frames, I did both when my truck was MT (3” lift Fox coilover) running aftermarket bumps. But again on trucks used hard, likely beyond the design limitations of the chassis. My truck is LT and heavily reinforced front and rear now. This is a pic from when I ran one of the popular bumps that dented (red arrow) a very strong LT lower control arm before the front oem bump engaged. IMO this supports the torsional load @Fobroader mentioned. No idea if 4 is the correct choice, never gave it a thought after reinstalling the oem bumps.

 

Dont laugh (this is my first truck) ...what do they do?

 

Bump stops keep moving parts from hitting stationary parts. In the front, the bump stops keep the lower control arm from hitting your frame. The stock bump stops are small and a very hard dense rubber (I think) its jarring when the LCA hits them. Most of these aftermarket stops have a larger profile but a softer composition so they help soften and slow the LCA so its less of a stop and more a deceleration.

Pretty similar with the rear, your axle moves up and down and the bump stops helps keep it from hitting frame.

 

Accomplished a bit of DIY maintenance today. Rear diff drain n fill, power steering drain n fill, and HVAC blower motor upgrade w/ K&N cabin air filter.


Blower motor upgrade is by far an amazing improvement!

 

I figured they prevented "collisions" obviously but I thought it was in extreme conditions not "all the time" ... interesting

 

This exactly. The advantage to the Wheelers super bumps is they are a lighter, softer material, that gives more of a progressive slow down rather than the hard rubber factory bumps. Per the instructions for the Wheelers bumps, you retain the front factory bump stops (seen in the back in my photo, photo taken from the back looking forward) so that if you hit a big enough bump, and use up all of the travel of the progressive Wheeler bumps, you still stop the up travel of the suspension before it hammers the frame. These bumps are kind of a step between the factory bumps and a full set of hydraulic bump stops.

Here is the kit I basically pieced together. I bought the fronts second hand from a guy who never installed them, then bought the rear kit to go with my RAS once I pull my air bags off.

 

Its kinda between the 2. You might not touch them every day, but it's not just extreme. Do you ever go over speed bumps or accidentally hit a pothole? Those are 2 common situations where you will likely contact the bump stop.

With these aftermarket ones they really smooth out those situations. Some swear they feel the difference like night and day, others say they kinda tell. Like most truck mods, its in the end user to determine if its worth it but this is not a bad mod to consider.

 

Sorry it took so long to confirm this... But, we've been getting hammered here on the coast this past week, so I figured it would be a good time to update. The last couple of days we've had a ton of rain and wind gusts up to 60mph... So, at this point, I can say w/absolute surety, that the drawers are pretty damn water tight I had no sign of water intrusion after this last week's endeavors.

Just to be fair though, my decked system is sitting under an ArmorFlex tri-fold tonneau cover. So, I'm sure there's a little bit of deflection from that system, but with that being said the way the decked system is engineered and w/the gaskets properly secured, etc. I'm pretty confident that the system would still be pretty darn secure...

 

Painted the sliders for the 4runner and picked up a brand new cvt mt Shasta for the Tundra. Couldn’t pass up the $500 deal!

 

How was the Power Steering drain and fill? Been tossing around the idea of doing this soon as well
