What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Big day for the counter top

 

Putting some oil on it?

 

Lol hahaha that's "mostly" the OME BF51s...

 

You’re damn right you do lol

 

Hahaha

 

Lol that is an extremely solid jab.

Joking aside I'm fully aware of what I might be getting myself into but they're by far and away the longest stroke shock that fits in the OEM location, so I'm willing to gamble.

 

Unless gears are a significant way out, I'd consider installing them first and then doing the tune. Otherwise, you'll be having paying for it twice...

 

Got a killer deal on an Atoto X10 (first Chinese head unit for me so we’ll see how it last). Install was plug and play with a preexisting harness I had from an older alpine unit. So far it’s easily the best head unit I’ve had and far more capable than what I’ll use it for.

 

OMG....and about 4-5hrs I'm sure

 

Installed @RainMan_PNW switch panel today. For the life of me, i could not get the 44” accessorides harness to reach the desired location no matter how i routed it, so i gave up and was going to order the longer one.
Came inside to cool down and THANKFULLY found @RainMan_PNW build thread where he shows how to route it!
Thank you for the awesome switch panel and pics on how to route it! (Will need to order another blank )




btw: how are people mounting their sub bass knobs in this location?

 

Take breaks and deep breaths.

 

Does it retain usage of the factory mic?

 

I'm not sure about the factory mic but I doubt it, I had an old mic setup near the instrument cluster for my old Alpine unit.

But there's two mics on the actual head unit. I used it yesterday and was told it sounded "crystal clear". Nice to not have to use AirPods while talking on the phone and driving.

 

Got the new tires installed today. Falken Rubitrek A/T 01. 275/70/18. Truck is currently getting alignment.

Replaced my Cooper Discovery AT3 XLT after ~4 yrs and ~30K miles. They just aren't aging well here in AZ with the temps. Dry rot on base of tread blocks, and some sidewall cracks.

I didn't want to go w/ the AT3 or AT4, these are slightly more on road/highway but still an A/T tire with same compound as the AT3/AT4.

 

Anotha one



Fresh rebuild and 650 lb springs with preload settings curtesy of @TRDFerguson

If anyone is looking for a shock rebuild on the front range, I high recommend Shock Rehab in Castle Rock. Andrew is a super cool dude and he got my coilovers turned around in two days

Oops - I guess I did not hit the one hard enough!

 

I have the same shifter. The faux leather on mine is already peeling off. Only had it for 3 months. Just a heads up.

 

15%!?!?! Not 25? They need to pump those numbers up!

 

Got the alignment done.....now I have a tire rub when rurning and backing out.

 

*Insert dirty joke about never backing or pulling out so it doesn’t matter

 

I too was disappointed that it was not 25%!!!

Chased down the culprit behind my drained battery every few weeks(not my daily driver), the SPOD.

Battery is healthy, remains at 12.8 volts for days like it should when SPOD is not connected. Now to sort out what's wrong with the SPOD.

 

Interesting choice of lubricant in the background...

 

I took knob out of box, got a switch blnk, drilled hole through, Jb welded electronic part to switch blank.

 

Boom
