What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Did a huge mod recently... solved 2/4 tiedown point issues I have. Easy and cheap enough.

 

Looks great.

Also, I love your neighbor's holiday spirit.

 

You could also get bed stiffeners for that area to strengthen your bed as well as have more tie down points.

 

I was considering PPF or regular coats of Aerospace 303. The last thing I want is sun-damaged lenses in a few years.

 

I don't, sorry.

 

I think those will interfere with the swing cases?

 

Yeah I had to warranty a set of Gen 1's because the lenses were getting pretty bad after a year and a half. I have PPF on the Gen 2's.

 

Plugged a hole today. I had a hard time getting a hold of the piece of metal. It wasn’t a nail or a screw. Just a small piece of a rod/wire. All is good now.

 

Look into RAS. Can be a much better alternative to air bags, depending on how you use your truck. Will certainly ride better unloaded than air bags or AAL.

 

Bunch parts arriving. Now to send the gears out for treating, rem/polish etc

 

Yes they will.

 

They are. Carry-on trailers similar specs are a few hundred less. I chose this one because the rails can be moved out of the way and be loaded by forklift or I can take everything off and have a flatbed hauler for a side by side

 

Did a thing today...


Got my son and nephew to wash my Tundra today.

 

Child labour, good on ya!! lol

 

Got to earn their keep.

 

18 and 20... so no child labor laws broken...8>)

 

Never thought I would see gears on your kitchen island. The deal was too hard to resist.

 

Took advantage “pre-holiday mode” and washed it…so it can rain on it tomorrow.

 

Lol, we must be geographiclly close cause I didn't wash mine today for that very reason. Looks good

 

Finally finished up the maxx fan install. A $20 Craigslist score, it's V1 and not the cool reversible one. Went about as smooth as I expected, took longer than I thought so I'll have to finish sealing it in the morning when I can see what I'm doing.

 

You’ve always said you don’t need gears. What changed? Also, what brand?

 

Thanks! Turns out whenever I do truck stuff it ends up needing a bath lol

 

A little AJT design parts to near complete of de-chrome.


Rear USB 3.0 charger plug. Found the stl file on thingiverse and 3D print the plate. Direct plug in. This way i dont have to hack up the factory piece.


also added the RAS.

 

If you decide to remove the rear sway now that you have the RAS, this is the part number for the bolt that goes into the frame in case you don't have your stock bolts.

90119-A0219 (you need 2)

 

thanks for the part number.
Is there any benefit to remove or keep the rear sway bar? Im curious.

 

I removed my sway when I put the RAS on, so I can't speak to how running both together would be.

But I definitely feel like my truck rides better now that the left and right can act independently. I'm loving the RAS and hope you enjoy it.

 

Sweet. I will know more tomorrow after an hour drive to visit friends. I will see how it feel to have both on. Then decide later. thanks again for the info.
