What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Got my ARK splash guards installed. If you are able to get the top front rivet on the passenger side back in you’re a better man than me! Thank you @Ark Splash Guards and @14burrito for the awesome deal on these!

 

Installed the 10” BA Muffler system with resonator and cut off the factory tail pipe just after the axle.

 

Pass side was easy man!

 

Just finished up the electronic tailgate lock install on my 2020.

Best part ...... getting it for $124.95 instead of $194.35 at my local Toyota dealer.

A quick online search and a simple "do you match prices" saved me $70 and I got it the next morning by 8 AM.

 

You're far to kind and generous, Matt. I'm not worthy.

 

that looks really good! Link please? I can’t decide which color I want to use on mine. Lately I’ve been considering blue.

 

Thanks man ..

Glad you’re ok! This is what I remember from last years vacation on the OBX.

 

Thanks brother!

 

Took some metal recycling to the depot and weighed the truck...it came in at 6440lbs with how I usually have the truck outfitted for DD'n...good to know I suppose...

 

Finally it arrived for my DIY inquiries... took long enough to be printed again. I needed it back in February, then again last month.
Anyone know of a better one to buy.?
Thanks in advance and advise.

 

I just got the tint done on the front two windows where there is no factory tint. If you get the rest done too they just put the tint over the existing window. I got ceramic tint which blocks a lot of heat and it made a noticeable difference.

 

Appreciate it! They definitely turn some heads...

 

Jesus. Did you take your truck on the beach?

 

That was not as easy as it started out. Here's my play by play...

Breaker bar easily got the frame bolts out.
Installing the end links was fairly easy (I got anti-seize all over but wiped it up)
Installing the sway bar to the end links was also pretty easy. Interestingly enough, my instructions said to install a washer before the nylon locking bolt. However, I noticed a couple guys on Youtube did not do that and I was even able to read their instructions and it didn't call for that extra washer.
Getting the U-bolts, bushings, etc. installed wasn't too bad but doing it alone was a bit difficult. Still I managed.
The most difficult and lengthy part was getting all the nuts (especially the u-bolt nuts) torqued to spec. The u-bolts took me forever.

All done. Still haven't gone for a ride but planning on testing it out later tonight.

This was done yesterday just some better pics...

 

‘88, 111K miles.

 

Beautiful fox body....pictures like that make me wish I never would have sold mine...so hard to find one now that has not been beat to shit.

 

You got that black paint poppin’ mirror son! Looks fantastic!

 

Thank you sir!

 

First oil change... badly needed at 860 miles (6 months) ..rofl. hey it is part of the 2 year service plan. Oh yeah and dim turn signal issue addressed.

 

2014's didntt come with a freakin integrated brake controller!!???

I installed a P3 brake controller and ESP mounting switch panel for it...picture sucks ass but you get it...and it works great

 

Ever since changing from stock wheels and 33's to my new +18 offset 17" wheels and 35's, I've been getting steering wheel shake every now and then. It's not bad, but annoying. Has anyone else run into this? I scheduled an alignment for Saturday just to be safe... I don't think it's a balance issue or it would be doing it all the time, right?

 

@100LL I know a couple coworkers who went to bigger tires and had issues with vehicle shake at higher speeds and it was due to then being out of balance. To my understanding their vehicles didn't shake at slower speeds, mainly over 50 mph. Might be worth having the balance checked as well as alignment

 

Is it intermittent or only after 50 mph+?

Balance comes and goes according to speed.
Did you have a “road force” balance?

Alignment will not typically cause a shake.

 

There are folks on this forum (and especially this thread) that are probably 18-80 years old. Everyone has there own likes and dislikes. Some of the mods give me great ideas and are mods I want to do and others are not for me (and yet I will "like" posts of things I would never do because of the quality of the workmanship - because unlike @ElNopal I have cut a few holes that are mistakes and have to order a few replacement parts to clean up my messes). Almost universally folks here are willing to share knowledge and lend a helping hand, most often to a forum member stranger in need. That is real class!

 

FYI, if you have exhaust on order with @dirtydeeds , they had to evacuate due to the fires. Expect a little bit of a delay on your build.

 

Interesting they leave the old tint on. I went to Dynamic tint in Mesa Az, they gave a lifetime warranty on my ceramic EXPEL tint, they let customers in the shop, they pulled all my old tint. Seems like if you leave and tint over the old stuff that eventually the old stuff will go bad thus creating a problem for your new ceramic job.
