What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'll be the guinea pig for you guys. Never added something to cart so fast..

 

Daym! Gonna have to get these too. Smh!

 

As I was tooling around the AJT site, I see they’re making a low cost TSS relocation bracket, and taking pre-orders:

Grab a blow-torch and go for it! (Lemme know how it turns out)

 

Finally installed an emblem overlay kit. The first one I purchased on one of the FB for sale pages ended up being the wrong item (right packaging) and the seller is going to take them back and refund my money. Also put my black TRD Pro shift knob on. Tint is scheduled for tomorrow, and then I'm done with her til summer time.

 

Check make sure you have all your nuts, bolts and washers! In the middle of skid install had to get washes that were missing, just ruins the flow of install...

 

Yeah when you’re ready and can concentrate on getting it done you’ll be fine!
Did you get their transmission skid?

 

One tip on the trans skid: attach the crossmember to it before attaching to the truck.

 

This sounds like the voice of experience.

 

Yeah it’s easier to get the whole thing on when the crossmember is on first, just a tight fit with your hands otherwise.

 

Ditto. I already painted mine but I ordered the black ones anyway.

 

Replaced oem air filter with TRD drop in filter, also added the trd air accelerator. It's basically the coupler located on the bottom of the stock airbox. OEM is hard plastic, trd is rubber.
Also, took off the charcoal filter. This may improve air flow.
Sounds like I have a cold air intake now, especially that hissing noise when you shut the engine off. Havent drove it to see if any improvement over oem filter.

 

Well the wheels and tires finally are done! Took 3 different shops to get it done as one tried and couldn’t mount, second could mount but couldn’t balance due to offset., 3rd which is where I guess I should have gone in the first place got it done and aligned. Bilstein 5100’s at the top setting and air bags to come. I really like the look of these now that I can finally see them on the truck as a whole. -35 offset makes them stick out flush maybe 1/4 out but they do rub.... Full reverse I had to remove those small plastic pieces infront of tires, the rear part of the plastic inner fender liner rubs pretty bad actually but so far misses the skid place. We shall see if I need to get out the heat gun and do some flexing.

275/65R20 and -35 offset.

 

I think it is funny, we hesitate on an interior thing like this but if some company came out with a new bumper we will drill, tap, cut, weld, etc to make it happen. Oh and just so you know my first reaction was no way!!!! They are going to be mine though.

 

Went camping this weekend nearby Red Rock Canyon in CA, and I got to see Red Rock Canyon for the first time!

Plasti Dipped my Platinum Rims. Interested to see how they hold up in the snow and salt.

 

Looks great. Been thinking of doing the dip on my limited wheels. How was the process ? I am hesitant about the durability of the dip.

 

just powder-coat it

 

That looks great too but I don’t wanna invest much in my stocks because I will be changing them in the near future.

 

Well, yesterday...

No clue what I hit, but happy I was able to get it to the work parking lot. Had to beat the wheel to get it off the hub... Currently at stealership getting tire replaced. Was close to getting all new (bigger, better) tires.

 

Btw, stock jack is a joke. Anyone have any reccomendations for a better replacement jack thats not a full on shop floor jack?

 

The process is fairly simple. Just make sure your rims are cleaned good before you add the plasti dip. I used 5 coats on mine and waited 30min between each application. I will say that it turned out better then I expected. How well it will hold up in the winter I'm not sure.

 

Nice! How are the AT3 XLT's? Any road noise??

 

Just ordered mine too. Not worried about drilling into that area unless I hit some crumbs

 

Just put them on my truck. They are one of the smoothest running tires I’ve had in a while. Loved my 10 ply Michelin AT2’s prior but these Coopers are wicked!

 

The only noise I hear is from my TRD exhaust. They’ve been very quiet.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what'd you pay total?

 

Wow, looks pretty deep too

 

Just ordered along with the vent rings.
