What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'm expecting these guys to join the forum soon..haha

 

Wish I had taken a photo before I took it out on the snowy roads!

 

Yeah there are a few pits in the welds and some look like they could be full-on holes. I'd just take them off but my 3 year old and wife need them to get in.

 

How did you know it was in there? Thinking I should go drill a drain hole in mine and see what happens. Keep us updated on what they say.

 

My driveway is elevated a little bit from the sidewalk so I saw it when walking back from the mailbox. You can see all the rusty stains in my second pic. I noticed a little bit of rust on a couple welds a few weeks ago but didn't really think much of it. The passengers side board seems completely fine.

 

Took a little off-road trip before heading home from Las Vegas.

 

I know, I know she needs a bath, but haters gonna hate.....
(Apologies for crap of a pic)

Got new rubbers,(Bridgestone Dueler A/T) and curious how these do or have done for those of y'all that have or have had. Just curious of overall general use, don't drive it like a bat out of hell all the time.

 

Toyota makes one also, perfect fit and is stamped with the Tundra logo. I got one a few weeks back for $88 including tax

 

Installed my auxbeam light bar I got for Christmas..not bad at all. I go off roading at night like 3 times a year so it'll be fine.

 

That happened to mine when I first got them but haven’t seen it since. Wondering what they say

 

I hope the Dueler A/T's last longer for you than the POS Dueler H/L Alenzas that come from the factory. Several people have reported that they only got about 36K - 40K miles off the Alenzas. Count me in that boat. I'll soon be buying some Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's.

 

It looks like there are drain holes pre drilled. What brand are these? I like them!

How does water get inside them without submerging them? Under carriage wash at the car wash?

 

They're Tyger Star Armor. The holes on the bottom have a metal plug or rivet that I had to punch out. It looks like there were small holes in the welds that may have let water in. They were never submerged, but my truck was outside during a few bouts of heavy rain over the last few months.

 

I also only got 38k out of my stock Dueler H/L's. I could probably have stretched it to 40k max.
I now have Cooper AT3 XLTs with 20k on them and they still look brand new. I drive hard and also spend some time off-road in dirt and gravel that is known to add wear to the tires - you can actually see small pit marks on the tread.

I can recommend them.

 

Headlights are still backordered but the grill is in I'll be grabbing it after work today.

 

I am planning on casting my own garnish for the new grill (I dont have any of the fancy TSSP stuff). Am I going to have any issues from toyota if I post how I do this?

 

Where did you buy the charger? Part number? Price?

Yes sparks has it but when i looked it was sold out. I got mine on ebay for $20 more cuz i didn't wanna wait while it was on back order. I ordered it Friday evening and it was delivered Monday afternoon. Went from Florida to Texas so it was fast. I'm very inpatient and didn't want to wait. lol

 

doesn’t look like you had to trim yours at all. Mine had to be trimmed on the sides as they were WAY too long and didn’t have the “tongue” at the bottom that folds over the edge. Mine were giant rectangles and didn’t fit great at all. I trimmed with scissors and put them on. They’re peeling up in the corners because obviously they aren’t supposed to go that far. Thought they were just like that til seeing yours. Oh well, I’ll deal with it later.

I installed my AJT shifter/cup holder trim today

 

Thanks for the feedback @Boerseun !!

 

Any thoughts or experience with the Dueler Revo 3?

 

Good news! Tyger just replied and are getting a replacement sent out for the driver's side. They even asked to make sure I wasn't seeing any rust on the passenger side, which I'm not. Pretty solid customer service.

 

No clue brother, sorry.

 

Finally got my Warn bumper installed. Also a Smittybuilt X20 winch, and Rigid Fog and Driving lights

 

Great news brother! Glad you’re getting a replacement.

 

Yes. My old man has rocked those tires on many a truck. He loved the performance, handling in the snow and rain and having been in his trucks they were quiet.

His only complaint was the price vs the mileage is got from them. Expensive for a 40-45k lifespan.

But I’ve seen him take those tires across most of the country and beaches and off-road hunting.


P.S. he still harasses me for being a falken guy. But after all the falkens I’ve own (car and truck) I’m sold.

 

Since the Baja Designs Squadron fog lights are out of my (wifes) budget right now, I did this temporarily. It is Lamin-x. I used 2 layers to get the right light because 1 still allowed too much white light come through. I'm happy for now and I like the look.

$18 Lamin-x One 6" x 12" Universal Film Covers (Color : Yellow)

Bought a spare for $75

 

Cannot wait to install 285/75r18 Falken at3w on all 5 rims
