What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sweet! You did the android HU's bezel too, does that come off or you masked it?

 

Biggest difference is a cast iron spindle vs a fully fabricated spindle utilizing 1/4" steel and CNC machined tapers.

 

CST sounds like a winner

 

Yeah I have a feeling it’s not gonna settle, my truck is rarely loaded in the rear and it’s DC as opposed to CM, with the spindles I’ve been discussing I have a feeling it’s gonna either be real close to level or have that bro-lean(especially if they do settle any) in which case I’ll order some coach builders

 

Installed my Tyger Blade running boards.

 

How’s the ride?

 

So far it’s not a huge difference over stock leafs, however it is noticeably better over dips and speed bumps, but I have yet to take it over the bouncy stretch of freeway I normally drive on. That will happen next week sometime. It is about what I expected from an expansion pack rather than an $800 full spring set so I’m happy

 

I almost cut my finger and leg off trying to install this AJT key fob. Took me over an hour. Can’t believe how difficult it is to remove this little transponder.

In the end, I think it was worth it. I feel like it would be very easy to slice off your finger or break the transponder trying to do this.

Anyways here it is

 

These new reverse leds are super bright!

I put these in as well. Very bright and thus far have been impressed by all the JDM Astar LED bulbs I have tried

 

Yup! Really bright light for the price.

 

Not sure how well these photos show it...

 

Damn. That is bright. I'll be getting a set of those.

 

Just placed my order. Thanks

 

Last weekend I put the aluminum filter cartridge piece on my truck when I changed the oil. What a nice part! Also changed out the transfer case oil and lubed my prop shaft.

 

Looks like someone else has the TRD valve stem caps.

 

I have to add I’m becoming happier with this purchase the more I drive it- haven’t gone Offroad yet because the front is stock, but all the dips and bumps I’m used to bouncing on around my house are now more subtle and plush

 

Random question. What is the area in front of the shift knob called? There is a small cup holder in it. I like to put my phone there but it slides and I want a rubberized cover for it.

 

Got around to installing the tail gate badge.



I gotta tell ya, kinda disappointed, I was expecting this to be hard plastic or something, didn't expect it to be the soft refrigerator magnet type stuff.
The T is not crooked, just a trick of the light or something.

 

it looks good. the ones i bought on Amazon for about $50 were solid plastic, but black.

 

New Husky Liners Weatherbeaters

 

The black out look is cool but Chrome always comes back in style and I'll be ready.

 

Waiting on UPS. Out for delivery as we speak for mine.

 

Detailed my baby today as the weather in southern Maine is fine. I recently snapped my left rear bumper (2016 pre-recall resin). Had the dealer do the recall so didn't have to replace the corner, but there was some chaffing on the cover. Anyhow, when they did it they gave me an estimate for 753$ just to replace 3 parking sensors they said were bad. I have ordered a couple on Amazon (probably from China) for 20$ a piece. I got a custom premixed can of paint at NAPA, detailed the truck and decided to give a go at painting the cover. I have to say, for 25$ for the premixed spray can and some light sanding of the plastic, it came out pretty good . Then for grins, I put in a replacement sensor and tried the original "broken" ones. And! Low-and-behold, the parking assist works perfectly, old sensors and all!
Moved a bench in the garage to make room for the beast and have about a foot to spare, which also makes me feel good. see pics.
Monday I am having the bilstein 6112's installed in the front and 5160's in the rear. Next up is a headache rack... debating between Westin or Go Rhino... I am sure I will find some good guidance here! It irks me that, had I been the type to take the service departments word for it, I would be out almost a grand for install and "calibration" of the rear sensors...





final product...




and room to spare Sensors were going CRAZY!

 

Which ones did you guys get? I’m looking for something matte black and more on the tougher side.

 

Please let me know how what you think of the ride with the new Bilstein's once you get them on on Monday! Looks good!

 

Mine is OEM Chrome.

 

These are matte black and solid.

That IS the more important question isn’t it

It’s great. I’ve been spending more time with the Tundra back in cali lately though
