What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Been productive last couple days. Finally de-chrome 99%.


Then the grab handle


Hardwares cost me a whopping $0.88 from our local hardware store. I was able to get them individually and not in package like at Lowes.

Finally, the Bed Step. I like it. Amazon special, cant get myself to pay $300+ for oem part.

 

Re: the stepbars - - the farther they stick out, the fewer door dings you'll get.

 

I flipped my rhino r20 so it goes skinny to wide as well! I like the look better imo

 

I did not know you can do that. I may try that later when warm weather returns next year.

 

The misses took the truck to get an oil change the last time, went to change today and found this on the skid plate. Thanks random oil shop

 

Freebie

 

this is on reverse so skinny to fat

 

The real question is... will you be taking photos of all your new truck parts w/them sitting on top the kitchen counter???

 

We'll see about that might can do something

 

You can spend Bunches of the green or plastic and don't forget the L/S grab handle

 

That's probably to offset the skid plate fasteners they left off or the extra torque applied to the filter housing.

 

Supercharger thread and Dirty Seven thread

 

Serious money on those 2 threads

 

Real talk… expect to sleep on the couch a couple of times a year as well.

 

Or just buy a RTT and sleep in the truck as needed

 

Where did u get the grab handle

 

From fredandersontoyota when they ran the 25% off deal.

 

Most of us have used one of the online discount Toyota Dealers such as World Toyota, Fred Anderson, Lewis, etc... and we generally try to order when these guys are offering 25% off their discounted prices, plus free shipping: So, in this case parts plus shipping (you need 2 pieces listed below) would have been about $226, but w/the sale I paid $147 shipped

Front Pillar Garnish Assembly Left Hand
Part Number: 62220-0C050-B0

Assist Grip Assembly
Part Number: 74610-0C082-B0

Subtotal $196.24
Discount (SET 25% Off Promo, Nationwide Free Shipping) -$79.79
Tax $0.00
Shipping & Handling $30.73
Grand Total $147.18


PS>> The above part numbers are for the light gray interior, if you have the other color you'll need to get the right part #s

 

Another option is to check salvage yards and fb. Marketplace for wrecked tundra part out.

 

I’ve exceeded my annual mod budget by about 4x in this calendar year.

 

Best thing to do is not budget. Then you can’t blow it.

 

You do need to be patient. However, you will be rewarded with lower cost. I paid $50 shipped for mine.

 

$20 for mine from a Pick-n-Pull.

 

It’s just in my head, no fancy smanchy budget. I figure $2k per year should keep my truck fresh and kill any want to buy a new truck. Hasn’t worked out too well (8112-8100, Regear, lsd).

 

Are least you are buying really good stuff!

 

It’s my 4th suspension. About time I got it right.

 

I feel that.... the 8112-8100 will be my 4th set I put on too.... but I didn't have the funds to make the jump this last round.

It definitely seems like a great set up for our trucks and for folks that drive on road and hit trails. I can't wait to get to it.

 

yeah - I haven't bit fully on the LSD/Locker and regear, but I'm right there with you on the rest

 

Replacing cigarette lighter sockets with hdmi/usb and usb-c plugs. New headunit is on the way, so just getting this done in advance.

 

That's like 2k per corner
