What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

took the truck over to the trailer storage. ran the trailer up to Discount to get new trailer tires on. Super quick 30mins and $57 later, went back to trailer storage. washed trailer and installed an electric tongue jack. felt super planted w/ the sumosprings.

 

Painted the Coachbuilder tie rod ends candy blue over a black base. Can’t wait to get these on the truck.

 

Installed the rear TRD sway bar today. So far the handling seems better with much of the boat-like feeling gone.



Although it’s fun to imagine otherwise, my truck is primarily for moving people (kids and me) and project materials, not off roading. So on road performance trumps off road articulation.

I also installed the OEM tailgate lock, but neglected to get pictures of the process so you’ll just have to believe me.

 

Do you notice a bumpier ride? Especially over speed bumps? I currently have both front and rear on my Sport and I can see my rear passengers heads almost hitting the headliner.

Getting ready to install better suspension and front bump stops but since I've had my truck with stock suspension and both sways it's been a rough ride.

 

55k OCI, cleaned inside and out. 60k diffs and t-case on deck. Wheels and tire swap incoming when this current set is cooked.

 

Oh shit!!!! That looks soo good assembled.

 

Those are some beefy tie rod ends!! Looks like they've also been welcomed into the blue circle of trust! Well done, Geno!

 

I put Superbumps up front and Sumos on the rear

 

Race truck parts equals race truck feels...how often are you in the back seat? I'd chalk it up to, "oh well!"

 

Nice! I've also got the front super bumps from wheelers that I'm gonna install with my lift next week. I do currently have what I'm thinking are the black sumos in the rear that came with my truck. I wonder if the blue ones will give me a softer ride.


Also based on reviews and good advice, I'm going to remove my rear trd sway bar and go with RAS instead.

 

Tossed these in after cleaning the exterior of the truck...

 

Nice! I have a set waiting for me to clean the truck so they can be installed

 

Blue Sumo's will give a softer ride and I'm thinking the RAS will go on with the sway bar installed

 

In your opinion what size lift would the super bumps be recommended? I have a 3.5in suspension lift.

 

Thanks fellas!

 

Rarely get to see your truck! Lookin good!!

 

RAS will work with the sway bar, but I'm thinking he wants more articulation

 

I'm thinking I would want less articulation since the RAS is going on for towing..... don't want my stuff swaying in the breeze...lol

 

Apples and oranges... I wouldn't say that articulation relates to sway. But, you can run both and remove one pretty easily if you decide you want to try with only 1.

 

Then I'd run em both

 

Oil change and Valvomax drain plug install.

 

Yes....

 

I have the black sumosprings and rear sway bar upgrade. with toytech shakcles at +1.5. oem leaf springs, eibach stage2 shocks. it fits with like .5inch before touching frame bump stop location.

 

Thank you!

 

Used it to take a tree down. Yes those are jumper cables connected to the winch cables. One day I’ll remember to buy cable and run permanent lines to the back.

 

Im cursed I just went through everything you did with tech support. Now I'm two days away from my return period. What did you end up getting?

 

The sill plate protectors look great just installed on my New To Me 21 Tundy Crewmax

 

Sorry for the blurry pics.. screenshot photos from the shop’s Instagram page. The tundra is almost done!

Custom front bumper and welded on rock sliders completed.

 

Decided to relocate my SGIII after a hot day in the California sun yesterday melting the adhesive side of my mount that I was using for the gauge..

Before:


Used some spare hardware and a tap to thread the adhesive side of the ball mount to make it able to use a screw/bolt to mount onto my center console in front of the shifter.


Gauge itself has an adhesive magnet plate on the backside that holds it to the phone mount for easy removal in case I need to use the gauge on another vehicle.


Cheap lil $0 DIY mod. Overall happy with the cleaner look plus I don't have the cable coming out of the switch plate now.
