What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

And oh ya, I smoked that ram like a stale cigarette.

 

Been chasing crank no start issue so threw in some plugs and she fired right up. Makes zero sense but whatever. Next time new trans and headers and it’s time to rip.

 

Yeeeaaaah!!

 

How are you moving your truck now?

 

it rolls forward slowly and reverse works fine

 

Hmmmm.....I haven't heard of them. I'm looking at maybe BF GOODRICH. But I'd of course rather spend less. I'm a firm believer in as good of rubber as you can afford when it comes to tires and I know they are always highly rated. Had a set on a 2002 Frontier and they were GREAT!! So I may just bite the bullet and go with those.

 

Your "run" ?? Do tell!

 

Doing Mojave road again in April.

 

Man!! That is SO FREAKING COOL!!! I've ALWAYS wanted to attend a rally race. I would LOVE LOVE to do a ride along but I would just be dead weight as I'm not a navigator. Not for that anyway.
How many times have you gone?

 

when is april and where is the start point.

 

We’ve done Mojave road a few times. This time should be fun bringing the race car also. And a good group of built rigs. Typically takes people a few days to do we usually knock it out in 8-9 hrs with stops

 

April 12 starting on the Laughlin side

 

And again, not today but a couple of days ago I put new rotors and pads on the front. Had the local shop do my brakes less than a year ago. Started getting pulsating at the pedal and vibration at the steering wheel. So, warped rotors. Greeeeaaaaaat......
Got new pads and rotors, did the changeover. Old pads had a thin lip of material where they weren't wearing evenly. Checked the pins for being bent and they weren't. Took old pads back to shop, showed them, explained I just had to do my own brakes. They refunded my money for the new rotors and pads!! I thought that was very good of them.
Anyway, the brake job went well once I got the right tools to do it. My rims are aftermarket 20" XDs. Well, of course the OE tire iron wouldn't fit so I ended up getting some slim walled impact sockets. They JUST fit and worked well.
Now my truck stops straight and no longer pulls to the right when braking. No vibes or pulsating either. Yaaaaay!!

 

Wow dude! That's sounds like a blast!!! And you do this in your Tundra that's pictured?

 

interesting...

 

Let me know if you’re around

 

Yep and the bug as well which is new to us. So we’ll see how it does

 

What about me? JK......like I said, dead weight. Lol

 

WOOOOOW!!! THAT IS SO COOL!!! Years ago I wanted to build a Baja Beetle. There was one for sale but it was thrashed and they wanted way too much for it.

 

I will PM you.

 

In addition to clearing brush at Dad's this spring break, we booked it over to Padre Island National Seashore and anticipated a crazy crowd, but it was shockingly quiet. Sea mist/Gulf fog...and it was heavy. It would come in waves with nice sunny breaks in between.



Washed the sand off when I got back home. I've been going to the beach with every truck I've had and never have rust issues - I do deep cleans every single time I get back in (especially the undercarriage and bed).

 

Loving it what front bumper do you have?? Nice rig

 

New trans?! IPT?

 

New oem unit with upgraded valve body from the aussies, deep trans pan and dex fluid

 

Are you having issues with your current one? Pro Speed has an upgraded valve body they've been installing in SC'ed Tundras too.

 

Prospeed sucks. So far from the research is the aussi valvebody and the setup holds 1300hp so we will see. Too many issue with the ipt and the other built trans options. Also they all use that same rebuild kits. Ultimately the plan would be an 8speed swap etc

 

you likely have a leak in the system and air is getting in?

 

Got the Total Chaos bed stiffeners installed today. Pretty smooth install.

 

Me? If you're asking me, it's an SOB from @STravis

 

Is it air or is it pulsating?
