What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Awesome truck. I was trying to find another Blue ribbon but they are rare in good shape.

 

Got them off of ebay. Took them forever to get to my mailbox from china. I'm happy with them tho.

Looks awesome, what lift and wheel and tire size are you running?

 

Are those for a lift? Never ran the 9000s. They are adjustable for rebound and all, supposed to ride a little better than the other rancho shocks. I have run rancho 5000s, and they are pretty stiff. I will say that unless they did something to improve the finish, the white shock body could stand up to corrosion better. And because they are white, you will see any rust or corrosion.

Toyo Open Country AT III

 

yeah after reading more about them, probably not the best option. I know the brand FOX is really good but what about the Fox 2.0? They are for up to 1” lift but say they are more geared for off-road. I don’t off-road just looking for something the will enhance the On road ride along with the CB’s. I know there is the 5100 option but have heard a lot of people say they ride stiff, then of course there is the 5160’s. So out of Fox 2.0, 5100’s, and 5160’s what’s the feedback from those who have personal experience?

 

I was thinking about the covers for my front but the Rough Country rear bumper is only a few hundred more and you get a full metal bumper with step cutouts. Sucks you spent money and it didn't work out.

 

Added an ARB Safari snorkel. It's forcing more air into the engine and improved engine performance, which is killer. Also finished the newly powder coated SDHQ bumper. Added some stickers to the winch cover. Looks SO much better than it did.

Here's before:

And after:




Bitchin!

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks man!

 

Credit where it's due, man. If I had the skills or the funds I'd definitely be encouraging my Tundra to be like yours when she grows up!

 

Never get tired of seeing that truck! Just curious, but did you compare the ARB to the Dobinsons snorkel, or any other brand? If so, why did you chose ARB?

 

Installed my dual camera recorder:front and rear. Then installed my front WiFi parking assist camera. With my factory reverse camera now I have all sides covered.

 

I think that color looks great!

 

Westcott front kit and CB +3 rear, with 285/75/18 Duratracs and removal of all mud flaps.....pics don't do it justice at all.

 

Last exterior mod done...

blacked out wheels







one of my buddy’s friends has a wheel repair shop. They stripped the wheels down to bare surface and repaintedthem black then baked on a clear coat.

 

Thanks man! It works with the cement in my opinion. The gold is usually more of a west coast four runner and Tacoma thing from what I’ve see. I also wanted to let people know the Method 315 is a +18 offset in the Tundra bolt pattern and is just another option out there.

 

Thanks!

 

I didn't like the way the Dobinsons looked compared to ARB. I just like ARB. Their stuff is high quality and their snorkels look great. I also knew that the Safari would maximize airflow for my engine, and I can feel the difference in engine performance.

 

I was tempted to go that way when there was such a delay for SCS, but I really really wanted the Ray 10s. I'm not adventurous enough to have done the gold (looks great btw), but the bronze was tempting.

 

That looks great. I like how the AMP steps tuck up tight to the frame, helps give the illusion of even more space / lift off the ground compared to fixed steps.

 

Is that on stock suspension?

 

No major mods today, relocated the rear window switch...BUT, the next big mod did show up in the mail!...new grill goin on the Platinum this weekend, just have to fabricate a spot for the TSS!

 

Got my lift and mounted my rims today. Kinda bummed and regret not getting 22x12 tho.

 

yes, stock suspension, tire size and factory wheels.

 

Got my husky liners in from the life time
Warranty they were a
Little backed up but worth the wait my hold ones have had it.

 

Finally got the 6112s/5160s put on - I’ve had them since the beginning of June. My Tundra came with a spacer lift and actually sat Very slightly nose high, which I really disliked. Installed at 1.3 with 1 DS shim, stock height in the back. I like the stance - wanted a slight rake (have about .5”-.75”) - and the ride is much better:

 

Same here on my end. Ordered them on July 5 and just got them yesterday. Worth the wait for discount that was given.

 

Load of compost in the looooooooooooooooooooooong bed.... 2 yards fits flat. Prob could take a third.

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. That blue with chrome trim is like peanut butter and jelly...love it.

How are you liking those tires? They're on my short list of candidates...
