What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Here you go lol.

 

They all seem to be the same, or at least similar enough that there aren't huge differences in quality. I got a used set on facebook and installed them this weekend. These are the ones I installed and they work very well.

Keep me posted on the GA/SC thing. I'm in Upstate, SC if you wanna get out for a bit. Horsepasture area in the NW corner of SC has ample room and some FSR's.

And I hear ya on the truck, this is my daily as well so keeping it functional is of utmost priority for me.

I also know quite a few places with waterfalls both close and not so close to the road depending on the kids ages and ability to walk a bit in the woods.

 

LOL, when he is older I may just do that! Of course, go team Orange!

 

Gotta love the full roll down window. Fit 10 2x6x16’s no problem

 

I got a set of those deflectors and had to cut the corners off the floor vents so they would fit. One of the deflectors cracked, but still works. Should've been made a little bigger. Hoping they help make the air flow more useful since the Husky mats block the original vents.

 

Exactly why I’m putting them on. I’ve got the WeatherTech liner in the rear and it walks the fence for the kids. I know I’m gonna have to modify either the attachment or the ducting to get them to work.

 

LC blower motor and Ebay seat-jackers arrived today

 

Install was easy, maybe 10min per side...

Will need some seat time to provide feedback:

 

I need that..how much?

 

Starting to configure my switches in the gen 1 NSV switch panel...the 3'n1 switch works great and offers me a couple more blanks now...

 

@JMGmanAZ looks to have posted his reply in the other thread

I'm looking at getting my guy some new shoes. Wanting something more aggressive than the All terrains I've got on there now. Had Nitto Ridge grapplers when I bought the truck but they were clapped out. May go back to those.

I am 100% sure this guy is rocking black rims on his "whip".

AKA Dodge Neon.

 

Ugh, stupid Fred Anderson Toyota. The one with the 25% off is up on Raleigh, NC. We have one here in the Upstate, also Fred Anderson, but they don't match the 25% off. How stupid!

Cabin Air filter from Raleigh, $19.54, but $30 locally. Parking Sensor retaining clips (the ones I'm going to trim for the Bumpershellz) are $14.70 locally, but $7.35 from Raleigh.

We're talking the same dealership owner, and some 4 or so hours apart.

New tires, old vs new comparison. New Duratrac RT with stock wheels. Went one size larger to 275/60r20. A lot more meat!

 

Dude, not sure what you're complaining about. My local dealer does not match nor do they have an online parts dept at all. Buy enough to get the free shipping and stop whining.

 

It's the fact that they are the same ownership. Fred Anderson Toyota of Greer, vs Fred Anderson Toyota with the sale in Raleigh. I can definitely understand different owners not honoring it (Sparks vs Olathe for example). Or, I can chalk it up to the guy I spoke to on the phone behind the parts counter too, who had no idea the Raleigh dealership was offering the sale (and likely does a lot higher volume of parts sales via online representation)

End of the day, parts are ordered and I saved a few bucks going with the sale.

 

I believe this is a regional thing, just like how certain models have specific deals for a specific region. The incentive is passed on from Toyota only to dealerships in specific geographic regions...irregardless if they are a chain or own multiple dealerships.

 

Are you sure the incentives vary regionally? My local dealership also runs the national specials (e.g. recent 25%) but their base price on an item is always higher than Fred Anderson Raleigh or other dealers that folks on this forum tend to use regardless of any specials going on.

I called my dealer after a while and asked them if they would price match and save the hassle of shipping (this is even with orders where I would get free shipping). They said no.

 

In this specific this case the fine print says: "Offer available only at participating Southeast Toyota Dealers."

You don't hear much about the Outposts. There wasn't an AT tire on the market that fit what I wanted until I saw a thread about them here. Winter performance, size, weight, load rating, looks, new factory in TN but Finnish, and the primary sponsor at Copper where we do 99% of our skiing.

Checked a lot of boxes for me and I paid $311/tire. If they suck during their 30 day winter driving test, I'll probably get the Wildpeaks.

 

waiting on my order from FredAnderson, got an invoice, but nothing yet.

 

I think it was about 1 week turnaround from order to delivery. I received about 3-4 email updates as well. Hopefully yours is enroute...

 

Had a fun little weekend emerging from the winter doldrums. Oil change at 145k. Toyota filter and Supertech advanced high mileage 0w-20. Been using Toyota 5w-20 because their 0w is pricier here for some reason. Every time I change the oil I fall back into the "which oil is best" rabbit hole. Used Supertech on my 99' 4Runner and it was running great at 260k when I sold it so we'll see. Definitely getting an aftermarket skid plate for next time. With the fumoto valve and motiv-x tool, the longest part of the process now is wrangling the stock skid plate. Used a free car wash for signing up for some app...first and last time. Left so much dirt lol. Hand wash from now on. Hauled some trash from a rental property reno project for FIL and tried out the Scratches Happen touch-up paint kit. Seems pretty good quality. Once that cures I'll finally install the Xpel film that's been sitting for months in the garage. Looking forward to Spring!

 

Do you know if that switch has a backlight? And if so, what color?

 

It's a white backlight and depending on what you activate, it turns green for that part your activating

 

Flashed in an updated tune from @snivilous / OTT which modded the upgraded coilpack dwell information. Plugs arrived, new big 7 wiring arrived. New trans and headers go in next Saturday. Still a handful of parts to arrive and hopefully get this all in before my run in April.
