What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Drove to the cabin for the weekend before we head to Oregon coast for 2 nights then central Oregon for 3. Little family road trip.

 

The Truck Covers USA rolling cover has the smallest canister size of any of the retractable/rolling ones (9”x9”). I’ve had one on both of my tundras now.

 

My neck 'o the woods. Enjoy! The weather is going to be fantastic.

 

@RainMan_PNW, those are nice. A bit pricey though.

 

Can’t wait. We enjoy central Oregon.

 

Tomorrow I’m installing the Trail Grid Pro Alpine 507 in my JBL system, like the flush mounting of it.

Plan on doing the amp, speakers & sub in the future, but CarPlay took 1st priority. Will add matting to the doors when I do the speakers.

 

I just made a round trip from SW Washington down to Northern Nevada and back. Drive down was the Western side and the drive back up was through the Eastern side. Nothing to see from McDermitt, Nv/Or to Burns, Or. But you start to see some nice countryside as you come into Prineville, and of course as you come into Government Camp and the Mt Hood area. I did thoroughly enjoy the countryside outside of Madras, Or and the Deschutes River. In fact, the Deschutes was running strong and high when I went through.

 

Last night I went out into the driveway and replaced my rear shocks with Eibach Pro Truck Shocks, I’m really impressed with them so far.

I have the front leveling shocks too, but that’s a shop job for my buddy.

They ride better than the Bilsteins I’m returning.

 

Which Bilstein setup did you have?

 

I had only done the rear, but had Bilstein 4600’s on it. Was going to put 5100’s on the front, because that’s how my F-150 was setup.

I love Bilstein still, but at least for this sample set of 1 on a Tundra, Eibach wins.

 

I wonder if that's an apple to apple comparison? I don't have any experience with the Eibach Pro shocks but maybe a better match up would be Bilstein 6112's or 8112's?

 

Thought the same. 4600 are stock/TRD OR. 8112 are a league of their own.

 

Sure the 8112 is better, they’re also 250% more for one shock than I paid for all 4 Eibach shocks.

I’m daily driving this Tundra, not off-roading. If off-roading, I’m sure Bilstein 5100 or 6112.

Though I have a Platinum with 20” wheels, I’m looking to buy some OE 18” wheels.

I think with these Eibach’s on 18” wheels and new BFG All Terrains I’m saving up for, it’s gonna ride like a dream.

 

Solid plan. Doing something similar myself.

 

I have the Eibach front and rear and I like it a lot mostly on road as a daily, towing a trailer to campgrounds, but I do go off-roading and camping on Forest roads and some light jeep trails.

 

Get the 18" BBS forged wheels - they are stronger and a lot lighter. That is what I did on my Platinum and provided me the ability to increase size (and weight0 but compensated with the lighter weight wheels to minimize payload loss.

 

@CaptRussia253 which wheels and tires are you running?

 

Wow, that's a lot per shock. What are they racing shocks?

 

The 8100-8112 is Bilstein’s higher end setup an equivalent to a king, Fox, ads shock oem replacement

 

They only damaged one set?!? Those are rookie numbers! They damaged two sets for me, so I told them to not even look at the boxes the third set came in, I would come down and pick them up, and they could pay 4WP to mount the tires. They agreed that was the best move.

BAKFlip 2, works for me.

 

Added a hood scoop today

 

Where did you order the scoop from? I want to do the same.

 

SSW Dakar 17x9 0 offset with ProComp2 MTs 37x12.50r17

 

Took a drive in the mountains for some more firewood.

 

From a user on here. It was very simple with his YouTube videos.
