What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Oh

 

Replaced the felt on my BAK2 Revolver, which had been slowly sagging. Gravity is still undefeated. PITA when the backing paper, unbeknownst to me, ripped. Fortunately, the new strips are for an 8' bed, and I have the 5.5', so was able to do a splice.

 

Oh, ya know...

a bit of wash

a bit of clay

another bit of wash

a touch of wax

 

I changed spark plugs and pcv valve in my 2015 Tundra. I wasn't sure if the plugs were due since I bought it with 220,000 miles. It ran fine. It currently has 255,000 miles.

 

Hey now you have a base line.... good for 100k on the plugs
I would change all the fluids if you don't have any maintenance records

 

Perfect, that’s what I needed to know about them. I like my Bilsteins and have held up well but they’re not quite dead yet but I bet this set would feel good if I slapped em on now. Thanks for the response my man, have a great weekend yall!

 

Hauled some stuff for the other shitbox. Thanks @KevinK!

I’ll need to figure out what tires are going on, but these are gonna look great on the 86.

 

New OEM LCA’s and all associated hardware installed and a half assed cab mount chop completed in preparation for 37’s tomorrow

 

Oof LCAs are expensive. Did you replace them because the bushings were toast or something? Some people have replaced them. Just curious.

 

Bushing were tired, alignment bolts were seized, and ball joints were cracked and leaking. It wasn’t cheap, but getting 142k out of the stock set on a truck that sees a good bit of dirt and abuse is pretty good in my book.

 

Hell ya man. 37s are going to look badass.

 

Thanks man! My wife said “they better look cool for all this work” lol

 

just tell her it is gonna look cool because all the guys on the forum said it would and they haven't even seen the finished product!!

 

lol I will! She’s honestly really on board with mods since wheelin is one of our family activities. And she just got a new Canyon AT4X so the Tundy gets a little love too

 

That's awesome, sometimes you got to give a little to get a little!

 

Awesome tear down progress on the rig from @snivilous. Next out is the drivetrain and tank then time to prep the frame for the reinforcing/lacing.

 

I’ll get some better pictures, but 37’s are on! I went with a super conservative alignment, so I have lots of trimming to do, but either way I’m super pumped with how everything looks.

 

Looks great!

 

Put a new Interstate 27F battery (Costco) in her and she took us to the beach for a few days.

 

Arm day at the house

 

Thats a damn good looking truck; well proportioned with lift vs tire width...def a good choice!

 

Installed Talon’s Garage skid. Fit and finish is great, thing is solid!

 

Thank you! I’ve always been a fan of minimal lift and maximum tire. I prefer down travel for slow wheelin unlike those go fast desert boys.

 

I finally got a legit air system permanently mounted in the truck. I went with the new brushless ARB twin. The compressor is mounted in one of the rear boxes under the bed and then I plumbed in air lines to each wheel and built 4 hose whips to air up and down with. Just a note for anybody in the future, the red wire in the main harness coming from the compressor can be used as the trigger wire for a switch pro style controller.

 

Have you installed that bad boy yet?

 

We’ve got a lot to install … that unit won’t go in until the new two piece driveshaft and new trans mounts ready.

 

Fucking wild to see one in pieces like that

 

Hover trok

 

Easier to find the 10mm
