What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I would be interested as well!

 

@WSDMetal

 

Installed new rear shocks and my Pop N Lock

 

Modified factory harnesses on the accessory side. Hot wired folding mirrors.

 

To do that did you just have to run a wire to the mirror and then to the button on the mirror adjustment switch?

 

Have an off-road trip with my LT Tundra friends in November, so finally made some time to work on the truck. Goes to Toyota on Monday for cam tower repair, then off to the fab shop for repairs and add few things I’ve been wanting to do.

Had to remove skid plates, bypass shocks, coil tower brace, and disconnect all accessory wiring. Fun stuff! Few pics below

stupid cam tower leak





Have to jack truck up by the frame until the front tires are close to off the ground to remove the tension on the coil tower brace for removal. Took a few pics of the truck at full droop in front on the limit straps. Fender lip is 49 1/2” from ground, strapped at 13.25” travel. Tires are still barely touching, this is at the fully usable droop limit for the cv joints, up travel is limited with a spacer 1” to keep the inner fenders intact with 37” tires.

 

It’s a work in progress. Got the platinum mirrors installed (physically) also got the BSM pins switched so that system works like it should. Next up is wiring the Fold switch and tie in the auto dim. Big thanks to my brother @RainMan_PNW for always picking up the phone when I call.

 

Yeah I saw his post about adding the BSM and folding mirrors but I never read through the whole post

 

When I first installed it, it seemed like it was close to the shifter, but I have not noticed in real-world use.

I did not lose any steering wheel controls, and as far as I’ve noticed I didn’t lose anything in the center dash screen, although I admit I rarely use it for anything other than the digital speedometer.

 

I’m ADD also lol. I did actually read all
Of @RainMan_PNW thread on the process. I was actually proud of myself.

 

Replaced the front brakes. I’d say it was definitely time. OEM pads, rotors, and installation hardware. Reused the pad shims.





Also got tech12volts JBL sub installed (infinity branded in my case)

 

The (maybe) original TrueStart battery finally kicked the bucket. New battery is a Duracell 27F, 840CCA from Sam’s Club. I got scared off getting another TrueStart and bit on the higher CCA. I also need to replace the tie down, mine is corroded and nasty.

 

Well I don’t even own a 2.5 gen yet

still hunting for one but getting closer and closer, one I was looking at didn’t have the BSM, but then another I did so I stopped researching for the time being

 

Not over here much after selling the 2019 so not sure if this was posted already.

When’s Baja…

 

Got the heated steering wheel and AJT Design steering wheel trim installed first thing this morning. It’s going to be a good day

 

That blue stitching is sick

 

It turned out good! The stripe itself is a little off and I wish it matched the stitching, but they weren’t able to match the leather and stitching. Overall for the price I’m happy with it though! Feels great as far as driving experience is concerned.

 

I ordered my High-flying steering wheel off Amazon and it came in a Cartrimhome box .I added the black out pieces from Meso

 

Shit I should have done long ago

 

Im with you on that one. I need to add more myself but just lazy and dont want to take the time to tare out the floor and headliner because then I have to put it all back nice and neat

 

Where did you buy the parts, and how much? Any reason why you didn't do the rears?

 

Started my rewire project. Removed the Blue Sea circuit system and installed the Bantam X. The touchscreen is pretty sweet. Still have quite a bit of wire chasing, labeling, and organization to do.

 

I bought them from a local Toyota dealership when Toyota was doing a 25% off sale a couple months ago. Was about $250 for all the parts. Rears will be next but they still have some meat left on the pads.

 

So he's still doing business? He's been off the grid lately. I know he's been dealing with health issues.

 

Washed this dirty thing after months of intermittent rain and too-humid-and-hot-to-do-sh1t days.

 

that thing looks ready for some 40’s

 

I would rub unless I put another 3". I've got other immediate plans for it starting with super and ending with charger.

 

I’m not dropping the headliner in the tundra. Did the FJ because I had to drop it. Tundra is gonna wait

 

Mine shipped in the same box from Cartrimhome. Took about a week to arrive even with the custom stitching request
