What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Major improvement over stock?

 

Yes to my surprise it was a noticable difference

 

It's the Land cruiser blower motor

 

I’m waiting on when fredandersontoyota run another 25% discount. Right now they are doing the 15%. Guess for President’s day tomorrow..

 

Love that color! Looks phenomenal.

 

Looks great David.

 

New OEM pads and rotors. They seem to work fine, but now I'm getting a clicking noise from the passenger side after a test drive.



My assistant

 

I’ve been over my bronze wheels for quite some time. Plasti dip black & plasti dip glossifier to the rescue. Save me from buying a new wheelset which I definitely don’t need. The overspray on the tire simply peels off. Love this stuff. And it’s been quite durable in my experience. I also laid it on thick enough to be peeled if desired.

 

I Installed some Seat Risers the other day.
Based on another members experience, I took the chance and ordered some off of eBay.
They arrived on time and appear to be very well built. These are about 1/4 the price of the DDI Seat Jackers (when the DDI are on Sale)
Install was easy and no issues with the fit. All the hardware worked as it was supposed to.
I only took a couple short drives so far and still in the seat adjustment phase, but I can already tell it is a great improvement over the flat position from the factory.
My wife (About 5'3 +/-) also thinks they make her seat more comfortable and keeps her from sliding forward.

I have not taken any pictures of the install but when I do, I will post them.
Comparing to the pictures of others with the DDI installed, I actually think these fit and look better.

Similar to the DDI Seat Jackers, they do leave a little metal exposed where the carpet does not cover. I added a small piece of black Gorilla Tape under the carpet prior to installing the seat spacers.

These come with provisions to mount a MMP to the front, but I am not sure which one to get, or if I should just make one if I want one in the future.

For anyone looking to add some seat spacers but does not want to shell out $160+, check these out.

Question since their description doesn't address it. They only show the fasteners for the MMP. Do these come with a new bolt to secure them to the truck or do they expect you to reuse the OEM bolt and just lose the thickness of the spacer for retention?

I do agree that they seem to be a much better option cost wise depending how they address the above concern. Thanks for posting info. Might be worth their own thread once you get more pics and have run them a bit.

 

They come with the hardware to install the spacers but not the MMP.
You reuse the OEM bolt which will mount through the spacer into the floor of the truck.
The OEM bolt did not appear to be short installing the spacer to the floor.
The new hardware provided will attach the seat frame to the spacer.

I forgot to mention, very detailed instructions are provided with these.

 

This looks great!

 

Brought the rig over to the new neighborhood and dropped the local housing value a notch

 

Looks good!
I miss the white fiberglass though

 

You’re wrong my friend. A tundra like that will only raise the housing value wherever it’s parked.

 

We'll see how the carbon fenders look whenever they're ready

 

Should look awesome.
Not happy with the glass?

 

Totally happy with it just have a problem modding things lol

 

got all sorted out this weekend and took pics around 7pm

Ditch lights and headlights (factory LED)



the Auxbeam XP-Pro installed as fog lights and headlights (factory LED)


Fogs + ditch lights and headlights (factory LED)


Lightbar + fogs + ditch lights and headlights (factory LED)

 

That’s awesome. Light up the night when you need it. I’m contemplating the ditch light for my truck but still on the fence about it. thanks for the photos. They look good.

 

you're welcome, and thanks! I am contemplating putting the clear lenses on one or the other vs the yellow.

 

Finally discovered the source of and fixed an ongoing chirp from the serpentine belt area. After replacing the tensioner arm and idler pulley with no luck it was time to dive into the fan and replace the clutch, easy enough until I realized the bearing in the fan bracket was the issue. Less than stellar design made it a lot more involved than it should have been to remove and replace. One coolant line (metal) blocks the bottom bracket bolt resulting in a lot more wrenching than I expected (or that should be required). AC compressor had to be partially removed, then had to pull the oil cooler lines off the block to access ONE bolt… fun times! Got everything put back together and no more chirps! I was very surprised to not find one video or write up online of how to do the bracket itself. I can’t be the first sucker who’s had this happen. Pic for fun!

 

Ordered this as well... Waiting to arrive.

 

Figured out the clicking noise. Just in case others have a similar issue one day...I had mistakenly put the pad wear indicator on the outer side instead of the inner, and then added a dap of caliper grease on the backside of the pads just to make sure it wasnt them.

 

Lol I love taking my truck to my friend's nice neighborhood in an HOA. They absolutely hate it. I once had a lady tell me "you can't park construction vehicles here"

 

This is so badass. Great lookin truck!

 

I did this once! Lol

 

Adding a picture of the Rigid lights at night.
