What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Took her to the beach.

 

Link for the pump/flush kit?

 

Oooooo.....I looked it up!! Dual reservoir shocks? Wow!!

 

Four Uncles off Amazon

 

How did it go?

 

Not too bad and used almost 2qts. I had plenty of shop towels to catch spillage.Tools needed:
Vacuum pump/ bleeder with attachments
Rags
Pliers for the stinking clamp
2qts of Toyota Transmission and Power Steering fluid (not WS)
Air supply for the vacuum pump
I also have a Stillen CAI so I had to remove the tube for the front air dam to access the lid for the power steering so flat head screwdriver for clamps

 

I gotchya. If I do mine I might go the manual pump route. Thank you for posting this!!

 

Try to find an attachment that fits the power steering line fairly snug or it will suck air and take a little longer

 

My Four Uncles vacuum was actually a brake bleed kit but hell a vacuum pump is a vacuum pump but all the attachments are for a brake bleed which is next

 

Good advice!! Thanks again!

 

Here’s the current setup which is still a dual resi shock setup. But the new kit has some bigger benefits. Stronger, longer shocks/larger shocks, more travel etc

 

That is my next tire, I believe.

 

You could probably make your own with an aluminum bar and buy some separate Quick Grips, but I just bought the Diamondback kit, and a cheapo axe and shovel.

Thanks, found this on Facebook marketplace, I spend way too much time on there

 

Much appreciated...

 

That's so freaking COOL man!! Thank you for the pic and description!!

 

What are the running boards on your truck? Link?

 

Perfect...

Thanks too much. I need something plain and smooth so i cant hurt my self.
Maybe one of these:

These have been great for me; I put skateboard grip tape over the steps and have to replace it every year or two. Takes 5 minutes. But these are sturdy, the powder coat has held up exceptionally well and couldn’t be happier (especially for what I paid). YMMV

 

I picked up both pairs of shocks for $2500. The coilovers are tuned by Accutune and have the 500lb Eibach springs installed (stock 700lb Fox springs came with/included in the deal). Rear shocks are stock Fox valving etc..

Dude threw a pair of TC upper arms in for $500 everything had less than 2000 miles on it. Not sure if I am going to install them yet or not.. The truck really isn't lifted all that much maaaybe 2". This truck is my daily driver and I am so happy with the way it rides and drives.

I will say that when mounting up the new wheels it seemed like the new lug nuts only grabbed like 3-4 threads of my wheel studs before thet were ready to be torqued them down? Seemed a bit scary.. Anyone else out there experience this??

 

Not sure where you're located but I'm going to be pulling the Toyota nerf bar style steps off my 2020 double cab if the rain stops for a few days . I like the Tyger steps Shawn has but it looks like they're only available for Crewmax trucks. If you're in the northeast and are interested in the ones I've got.

 

here you go:

Nice! I wonder why Tyger doesn't have them listed on Amazon. I like to keep an eye on things like these to see if I can score a set someone returned on the cheap. That's how I got the Tyger roll up tonneau I had on my Ram.

 

@Stone Chingon' Sweet set up! Not sure which brand of wheel? Method, Racine, SSW? I would reach out to the manufacturer and ask about lugs. I hit up Method about torque and my MR701's are 85-91 foot pounds with a minimum of 7.5 turns. Make sure you have the right type of lugs as well.
I recently had UCA's installed and it made a night & day difference on handling- I recommend getting those on.

 

I'm going to say Kansas.

 

@UTAHRTK Thanks man great feedback. Wheels are Raceline "Rouge" +35 offset ya I need to get ahold of them and let them know my situation.

And I'll probably give it a little more time before I decide to install the UCA's or not.. Everything just feels great currently Thanks!

 

I can say with certainty that you're not going to fit a compressor behind the S&B. It was the first thing I did to my truck.


But the plus side is that the intake box on the S&B extends toward the factory hole in the fender so I was able to connect my Dobinson snorkel to the intake no problem.
