What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Looks like a relay box for a switch panel, similar to the auxbeam switch panels and other models

 

Couldn’t pass on the deal.

 

If you live, travel, or ever find yourself anywhere that has cat theft issues, my vote would be for cat theft protection first...

It's generally covered by insurance but what a PITA it is to deal with and potentially be done for an extended time over!!

 

Those look like RCI skids. They have the "wings" that bolt to them for the cat protection.

 

I second that opinion. It's not a sexy choice, but probably the wisest one.

 

With the TRD pro headlights installed, the oem halogen fog lights were practically useless. Not ready to commit to any housing upgrades so for now I put in these Auxito led H11 bulbs and wow, huge upgrade! I think with these I actually have to follow the rules and only use them out of town or when I'm alone on the road because I will blind other drivers. Light color matches the headlights too. I found some leftover yellow tint film from my old 4runner that I might try out as well.

 

what did you use to take those photos. Crisp as hell man!

 

Ha just my iphone14. Seems to take good outdoor photos but questionable indoor.

 

Moved from 265/70R18 (32.6") to 275/70R18 (33.1") Michelin Defenders. The difference is tire size is bigger than the number would have made it seem. I think it's at least partially because of how worn down the old tires were.

For anyone curious on the price point, it was $1750 out the door for all 4, with certs, from Discount Tire.

 

It’s the fuse box for a switch panel. Got it from rough country a Cpl years back. Basically the same as the auxbeam I believe.

 

I did not notice, but I see it now! LOL

I have not done the brake bypass yet, but probably will soon along with the front camera.

 

Hit a milestone today but missed the picture...

 

If you were waiting for the numbers to spell something special, it spells GOOOB.

 

I'm heavily debating selling off my rack and switching to a roof rack system on my retrax. Has anyone made a similar switch and have any opinions? I mostly carry fishing poles and soon a cargo carrier on the bed, but will hate to lose my mount for the sun shade.

But I would use the lower rails more and no longer be restricted in cargo height which would be awesome.

 

What??? A roof rack and retrax don't interface. Are you going from a bed rack to roof rack or what does the retrax have to do with your dilemma?

I guess I'm just not following. And are lower rails, the ones in the bed or what are you meaning?

 

Got the new blower motor upgrade delivered and installed today….man what a difference! Took all of 15 minutes…wasn’t even a 1 beer job….

 

This versus this:

 

So no roof rack. Got it.

 

Roof style rack going across the whole bed. I dont know what else to call it. they are just wider with the sliding mount.

 

You must not have done it right then. Every job on the truck should be at least one beer.

 

'Caught a cool mileage mark...

 

Even better in an MGM.

 

MGM always looks the best in any light

I bet you could have stretched it out to three beers.

 

I still need to install mine...It's been in the garage for a year.

 

Correct me if I’m wrong or misunderstanding, you are trying to do the Land Cruiser blower motor conversion correct? If so that part number is 87103-60481
I believe the part number on your order form is the “stock” direct replacement part number which is

$163 87103-0C040 Blower Motor Sub-Assembly

87103-0C040

I am getting this info from this link
https://www.tundras.com/threads/hvac-blower-fan-upgrade.135617/

I saw this and don’t want you to end up with the wrong part accidentally.
I want to do this upgrade also and have it in my cart and noticed it said exact fit with the 87103-0C040 so it threw me as the Land Cruiser part number probably wouldn’t say that.

Anybody else see what I’m seeing?

 

I drained and refilled the differential (RWD).

Amsoil squeeze packs (75W/85 GL-5), took every bit of 5 quarts, and it did not seem like that much drained out.

Was likely OEM fill, wasn't dirty and no metallic residue.

59,900 miles.

All that is left is coolant, trans, power steering and then brake fluids.

 

Mine is 87103-60560

 

Mine is 87103-60560 as well

 

I swapped out my rear view mirror for one with a compass that I got from @KTMRider. I'll be losing my dash compass when I swap out for a new head unit. All recalibrated for NorCal.

 

ARP hardware starting to roll in. Mainstuds here soon. Few more items to order for the engine not really needed but more of while it’s apart. Rear custom leafs ordered from deaver and custom mounts.
