What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Truck got trd dual exhaust this past weekend and a opt7 tailgate lightbar the weekend before.

 

Diggin the taillights!

 

New shoes! 275/70r18

 

Quick wash and spray wax on my 18 1794 before the heat rolls in. My old, now son's, 13 Platinum needs a bath.

 

Finally had my ARE MX H.D. Topper come in. Took 5 weeks for delivery as it was the H.D. and it was a custom color, no one stock Cav Blue I guess. Went with the interior LED lights, passenger side Windoor for easy access, and dual latches on the rear window. Also added the Bedrug, LED tailgate bar, and tailgate letters! Good week for the truck, now have to save more money!!

 

A few upgrades... new 285/70 nitto ridge grapplers and installed flowmaster rear exit pipes.

Decided to give Bead Maker a try after all the positive reviews!! Had good results no complaints.

 

Looks good. Bigger question though is how’s it sound???

 

Thank you! Its loud AF! But why not it's a v8 truck....

 

My educated guess is long as u have a cig type charger port in your armrest console you can. Once you remove around the shifter there should be a harness that plugs into that cig charger port in the front under your armrest. If so it's very simple. Just unplug that harness and plug in the scosche t harness. That way you can still use the port under your armrest and the split it comes off that you run power to the front under dash.
I would think so. Your best bet is to ask James Randy Taylor.

 

Truck looks great. Just curious have you tried beadmaker yet as a drying agent? I haven't tried the 1 you got but I can say for sure, from 1sthand experience that the beadmaker is the best I've ever used. Highly recommend.

 

Any issues with everything going back in place and getting lined up?

 

Gave it a foam bath followed by another round of beadmaker. Made it look amazing, just to get it all dirty later this week off road.






I even decided to take it next level by going the extra step by appling waxaddict for that nice tire shine. So I easily breeze through the cleaning of my wheels. It was then I started to think just how smart I was for taking that into consideration before I bought them. Then almost immediately after thinking I'm such a genius in my choice of wheels I get smacked with the realization I definitely didn't consider that when picking my tires.

I mean they do say tear it up technology on them.


And boy do they live up to the hype. Just look at the number they put on my foam tire applicator pads just from the other 3 tires.



This is what they should look like and do from the start.



Oh well, guess I found another trade off with the Pitbull Rockers. I'm thinking I'll sacrifice their lack of ease to clean for keeping their insane traction in rain, snow, rock, dirt, and mud. I'm already dreading my planned tire rotation this week since I'll feel the need to clean up my 5th tire and wheel when it goes on later this week.

I know I know, the struggle is real. Who needs clean tires all the time anyway. I know I like them all muddy looking almost just as much as I like them all clean.

 

what a great looking truck!

i was having that issue too with the foam applicators falling apart. i've switched to a bristle brush and sometimes a rag if i get carried away with the spray i spray on, use brush to get it in all the hard to reach areas and wipe off. works great.

 

Tnx Steve. For both compliment on my truck and your experience with the tire shine. Only problem I don't like a real wet look and can't stand sling. I've tried a bunch of products but haven't found anything I like as much as the waxaddict. Only prob it comes in a non spray, pour out bottle and is more meant to be worked into the tire. It works awesome but is a bit tedious. Especially with a very aggressive tire like mine. Without all the side wall lugs it would be a breeze to go on. I could get all 4 tires done in minutes if I only did the flat parts of sidewalls. Once you throw the lugs in it's a different ball game, especially with these Rockers.

 

No, not at all. Hood bulge snapped right back into place. It was definitely a pain In the ass modifying the mounts and laying it out though!

 

Wish someone made an overlay for this

 

me too !

 

Installed a coin holder in the center console. Be jealous!! Lol...

 

Battery died no warning after a long weekend trip. Just got done grocery shopping and truck wouldn't do a damn thing... changing a battery in 100 degree weather SUCKS.... 2/2014 was stamped on it so I can't complian.... yellow top for $194 and trucks back to normal... not a cool mod but hey its something...

Then purchased the original for the truck and it fit perfectly. The 114 degrees of heat index helped cut the plastic like a hot knife through butter. Overall wish they made the cover little wider and gave an option for a black color, nevertheless it's a huge help when strapping items to bed.

I've been thinking of getting the StopTech lines for my truck. Have you installed them yet? If so, how do you like them? Feel much difference?

First mod on my 3rd Gen.... Dash Cam.... Bought the truck on Friday, installed this on Saturday.
We'll see how that rear camera holds up. I have to find a better solution soon.

 

Last page of my build thread, mounted up rear cam with a mount attached to headrest...
