What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Center wire is “Green” on the 2017 model

 

Hi, @Alloutdrs1 A lotta guys that might chime in to answer your question don't check in here except when they post sometjing they just finished. I suggest you put that question in a maintenance thread-- add it to a thread with a similar question if you can find one in a search (but don't find the answer during that search), or start a new thread. I know you've been on here a good while, so I don't mean to test your patience with this recommendation. I've just notice that, with this thread and Tundras.Live, there are so many posts that most members don't read them all... so the people with the Answers don't always see the Questions. Good luck!

 

Thanks! Those look great! How much did it cost, and how did you do it (leave the truck at the shop or have spare wheels to swap out)?

 

No diffs I will do myself, was thinking about having the dealer do the trans fluid since I'm still under warranty and its that sealed trans bs.

Don't know why I wouldn't be changing it, I tow a trailer 6 out of 7days in town and long hauls. Changing it early should prolong the life of the trans and from what I read the Toyota WS fluid isn't that great.

 

Installed the Firestone ride rite airbags.

 

how do you like them so far? any troubles installing it? post a pic with it loaded down for comparison when able.

 

I will have a pic Friday. The install wasn't bad at all. I had a set on a 08 Tacoma, it makes a world of difference.

 

Here some pics. Took about 1.5hrs to install.

 

Redo tint on a couple of windows.

 

It was $600. here in Las Vegas. I dropped the truck off on Friday morning when I was going out of town and picked it Monday morning. They removed the wheels dismounted them, coated, then remounted, balanced and installed back on the truck. It was about $75 more expensive then another shop near the house but the convince of just dropping the truck and picking it up when it was done is worth it to me. The other shop only powder coats so you have to just bring them the rims, you have to have a tire shop do the rest so it adds to the cost.

 

Did you break the clock spring pulling out the steering wheel?

 

Goodies arrived, afe filter should be in tomorrow. Give my baby some tlc this weekend.

 

Did the oil change today and swapped the filter housing and tube over to the aluminum one. Feel much better now about oil changes!

 

Sounds like it’s better to buy Pro wheels and spend a little more with less hassle.

 

Got all the parts - now I just need to paint them!

 

Clay barred yesterday, thought I'd try out cheapy Turtle Wax Black Box Kit today, wow I'm impressed, swirls gone and it's like a sheet of glass.

 

Did you add a breather filter?

 

Put on some Terrain Contacts

Looks good. Curious as to how long it took to clay bar it?

Maybe an hour. From my understanding the full deal for durability is wash, clay, compound, polish, rinse/wipe, glaze, sealant, wax (I didn't do all that and I imagine that cheap kit I used isn't as durable)

 

Did an oil change and UPS dropped these off

 

What does this MOD do exactly?

 

Very nice!!

 

If your axle is ever under water, the axle being warm and the water cold, there's a chance that water could get into the axle. Relocating the breather up by the bed rail means your truck is swimming before the axle can ingest water. At least that's what I read somewhere.

 

This is with 40 psi.

 

I folded mine up into the lower bumper valance.

 

Thanks, was thinking about using a machine clay pad instead of doing by hand, but an hour doesn't sound too bad.

 

im thinking of going with the same grille. you will need to post pics when its done.

 

Added the esp panel to remount the p2 controller that came w/ my truck.
