What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Well for starters i invested on a set of firestone airbags and installed them last week to avoid the @$$end from dropping down. They are really only being used lightly since I also invested in the EQUALIZER WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND SWAY CONTROL HITCH. I totally recommended. Most of my 5.5 hour trip was up and down hill through the PA mountains. Not a single issue. I guestimated about 10.6 MPG while throwing this beast. It was amazing the way it responded to towing and the hills grade.

Installed SumoSprings SSR-610-40 factory bump-stop replacement/upgrades for increased control when towing my travel trailer. About 30 minute install time, loosen U-bolts, remove factory bump-stop, replace with SumoSpring, tighten/torque U-bolts.

 

Native West Virginian? I was a displaced Texan up there for almost 5 years. Worked summers in the Alcan factory in Fairmont while going to WVU. Lots of friends up there and in Pa.. Buddy from Texas, we met in dorm, stayed up there. He was DA in Mingo county until retiring. One of the first things I wanted do was dump all the dealer advertising on my truck so I got the Mountaineer plat frames.

 

Picked up some new shoes

 

Took it it for 20k service and now it possibly has a cam tower leak or power steering. They cant get to it till tomorrow or Saturday.

 

Native from St. Albans WV. Moved away after college for a job, went back for in 2010 for 2 years and was promoted back to Texas. Still a lot of friends and family in the area.

 

Pop lock installed, oil changed and bilstien 5100's added to replace stock bilstiens.

 

Getting ready for a busy weekend

 

Dang hope its not a cam tower leak for ya. A lot of 16' and 17' cam tower leaks popping up here recently.

 

Well good news its not the cam leak. The tech said its the clamp and hose from the power steering. Seems like a simple fix. They should have it done tomorrow. I was stressing out.

 

I feel you, after following the cam leak thread im paranoid. But after 60k on her i think it should have happened already.

 

I know i was the same. After coming home i saw that thread and got paranoid too.

 

A little bit of prep before getting wheels installed tomorrow.

For all the guys worried about rubbing, can’t rub what’s not there.

 

She got an oil change and the tech said nothing was leaking and stop following forums i just laughed at him. When showed him the cam tower issue he said "never heard of this before" bam i dropped some knowledge on him

 

I feel as though they are just shady. They act like money is coming from their pockets. They refused to replace my broken seat bracket. The rep refused to speak to me. Corporate said since the rep said it was with spec they wont do anything. Another big local delearship replaced with no issues.

 

Thats sad, what cracks me up is when u go into there to buy the truck everyone is your bff. Once bought and things need to be addressed its a ghost town.

 

You plan on putting that stuff back on when the new tires are installed?

 

Just pick up my leaf spring today and install not happy because the rear sit lower about 1.5”! This is custom made by Deaver Spring They told me that 3” custom Deaver Spring and TC shackles I should get about 3.5” off lift
But after install the rear sit lower than when I have BDS 3” block in the rear about 1.5”

Anyone know if getting a longer shackles can i get more lift in the rear?

 

Yeah with TC shackles too.
That is the first thing I have to do tomorrow morning call Deaver Spring see what happens.

 

Might buy some black semi mud flaps and do a custom fit in the bumper and will figure out some mthing for mud flaps

 

Good. Otherwise the back of your fogs are going to get fuuuuuuuucked up.

 

I did flaps, going to take them down and install a little bit larger ones because of the 35s. Have pictures if you need.
What size tires you getting?

 

ah shit just got real

 

Starting at daylight Saturday morning. You are more than welcome to come help.

 

yeah let me just jump on a plane and head over from Seattle.

 

Finally installed the 5160's today!

 

Finally installed rims n tires.

 

Make sure you post pics after you get it installed.
