What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Realized mid week I flubbed up and had the lower spring perch upside down which explains the extra lift. Took it apart, flipped them, and back to normal now. A good way to waste 2 hours, lol.

 

Powered up and working

 

I put a plug in my tire today. I think the screw I pulled out was probably one i lost from working on my truck. When I work on my truck, it’s outside in the stone driveway. So, sometimes I lose stuff.

 

Added some EKR seat covers

 

They look great, where did you find those?

 

Ok so not today, Got rear endend the 1st week of January. I recently had a C4 rear bumper installed in Sept. Damage looked like a couple of scratches on the C4 bumper and the Hitchas well. Had the collision repair shop measuse the frame for piece of mind. They found some repairable frame damage. Also Insurance is replacing the stock receiver hitch and the C4 bumper since both were involved when the car hit me. What do you all think I shold do with the existing C4 bumper and Toyota reciever. Scrap or offer for sale on here? here is the drawing sohwing the damage to the frame all measurements are in millimeters. also pictures of the bumper...

 

I'd scrap the hitch receiver. If you do sell the bumper, be up front about the damage and price it accordingly since insurance is covering the replacement.

But! The damage looks minimal and I'm sure someone will buy it assuming the attach locations aren't bent/twisted which it doesn't look like.

 

Yeah the attachment points looked solid to me.

I was thinking 50% of current pricing including a rattle can of the coating for touch ups.
Local pickup only. shipping would be nuts...
I am guessing there would be pleanty of interest in Socal/San Diego

 

Installed this hidden light bar this weekend. eBay lower grille brackets to mount it. I went with this one because I can switch from amber to white light, no strobes like many come with. Easy to use rocker, made a hole on the blank cover to keep in factory looking. All works well except there’s no light on the switch. I probably didn’t make the best connection there.

Unboxed my turbo kit.

 

Here's how I .22

 

Give it a good bath after installing some nice KO3's. The ceramic makes the wash so easy.

 

Need to take some pics but installed FitcamX front and rear dash cam that the wife got me today. Not too bad to install. Not sure why in the hell they used such a long cord on the front cam. Used rare earth magnets to mount rear cam. Not sure if I am happy with that setup but it works.

What I run. The platinum pellets crack the sound barrier and you hear it. Run regular leaded pellets and it’s just the snap of the spring.

 

I installed the Victory 4x4 center console rigid molle panels. If someone could post an Amazon link to what I need to attach items to the panels I’d appreciate it! I’m a total noob to this and no idea what kind of straps to get to attach small items like flashlight holder, knife holder, etc

 

I mounted a molle medkit bag and dump bag on mine. The pax rack just has a dump bag. The medkit bag holds a flashlight and knife, and whatever else I put in there. I can also hang a holster on the rack should the need arise. My panels are originally from my 4Runner so they may look a little different. I suppose I should wash my floormats!




From my 4Runner...

 

You're supposed to do that in your kitchen and display all the parts on your counter or on the island in your kitchen

 

From the EKR website found a coupon code too , think they were around 236

 

My wife isn’t that understanding haha

 

Not bad at all

 

I pulled the center seat out of my SR yesterday in preparation for center console. While I was on the phone with the junk yard, they indicated that there was probably a difference between a Crew Cab and Extended Cab. That statement got me to question all the searching I have done on here.

Is there a difference between the Crew Cab and Extended Cab that would affect the center console?

 

The Cmax has heating tubes that service the back seat.

The Dcab has the vents under the seats.

You can put the console in a Dcab no problem, but the vents to the back seat will be non functional, but you already have them under the seats so no big deal.

Sorry if you've addressed this a million times in the past - I haven't followed. I may get plates at some point. I checked out your website. My understanding is front/rear cat plates both work on lifted trucks, but front skid plate doesn't. I have a 7" BDS bracket lift. Do you have plans on a front skid that would fit lifted trucks?

 

Pulled the trigger and should be able to pick it up tomorrow.
Now if I can find someone that has a 3D printer and can make a drop in cup holder for the shifter hole.

 

My brother is a dealer tech. I was just visiting him, he had a '24 Taco motor in for teardown at 3k miles, and an engine/engine bay harness on a hybrid rav4. Not rodent damage this time, he was replacing due to some questionable repairs by a local shop. Regardless the insurance company insisted on install of this on the harnesses being replaced as this was the second repair attempt. My brother said it took 5 full rolls to do the two harnesses he replaced. Time will tell if it's worth it.

I have 5W30 ready for my next oil change. My brother, mentioned above, is skeptical and very stuck in the dealer ways. I figure there are so many of you all on here that have successfully swapped to 5w30 that if it was a problem the evidence would be here. Mine has a very small bit of the cold weather piston slap/timing chain if the temps are below 20 or so here, but I rarely start it that cold without having the block heater plugged in so I don't hear it very often.

 

I was wondering what your plan was, thanks for the follow up.

 

You can purchase a blank off cover.

But I would rather have a cup holder/storage area

Derick90 on the forum has printed one and I have sent him a PM but haven't heard back yet.
Here's a link to that thread. It looks pretty nice.

Hit a milestone. Yahtzee!

 

Can you post a picture of the opener lower than the door opening? I'm having a hard time imagining this.
