What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Had to pull someone out of the mud yesterday. He was stuck in there real good, didn't know how to drive on mud and tried gunning it once he started getting stuck.

Tundra did really well, surprised me honestly. I didn't think my tires were gonna like mud all that much. Everyone doubted that a "Fake truck" could pull the Ford out. Had to borrow someone else's Snatch Strap because I don't have my own yet, but I was able to pull him out not once, but twice, after he decided to try to turn around in that mud and got stuck a second time.

Ahh, nothing better than pulling someone out with the ole "fake truck"

 

Transmission cooler on a '21. Temps pushed passed 255... I'd like to keep this truck for awhile.

 

Would that do anything as far as voiding the warranty?

 

The addition of a part to your truck does not void the warranty. The Magnusson-Moss Act (federal law) permits you to use non-manufacturer parts without invalidating your warranty. However, IF the manufacturer can prove that the non-manufacturer part caused the malfunction then it is not required to honor the warranty. For example, you install a lift kit and your radio fails. Your warranty on the radio has nothing to do with the lift kit and the manufacturer must honor its radio warranty. If you install a lift kit and the tie rod fails AND the manufacturer can prove that the lift kit caused the tie rod failure then it need not honor the warranty.
Practical reality - If you have your dealer do the install and there is a failure then the manufacturer looks to the dealer to decide whether to honor the warranty and the dealer will most likely say it did not do faulty work and tell the manufacturer to honor the warranty.

 

Were is your antenna

 

Black blade above the rear brakelight should be his antenna.

 

Did you do that yourself or have the dealer do it? If you did it yourself which kit was it?

I'm about to start hauling a trailer around and this is on my 'to do' list. Which grows and grows as I want more and more stuff.

 

My steering wheel control issue was corrected by the dealership today. Symptoms were intermittent control responsiveness. Turning the wheel either direction was what caused it to go in and out. Took them 4 days to get the assembly, and about 1 hour to install it. Covered under warranty.

 

Luckily simple fix and all. Hope it doesn't come back or anything. good to hear

 

Thanks for the update!

 

I’ve grown increasingly patient as the years have flown by, but still struggled with waiting on that guy’s 3D printer to get operational again. Plus, I’m not big on having a bunch of lighted switches all over the place (different strokes for different folks); I get enough ambient light from my Android HU! So, I built my own switch panel. The switch on the left goes to my (4) front LED bars, the switch on the right goes to my rear LED bar. The switch in the middle...you get it. Yes, so much easier to use these switches in this location vs. my hidden ledge location for the LED switches and the factory location for the rear window switch. Allen bolts to match the AJT theme. Well worth the $50 cost. Fun project to boot.

 

Looks like they're apart of the local track team or something

 

I really like the style of the TRD shifter than the OEM. I don't own a TRD, so I picked one up without the TRD stamping. The weight difference between this one and the stock OEM shifter is world's apart.

Waiting for the weather to heat up a bit before I tackle the tail light install.

Thoughts fellas?

 

Monumental...

 

That's like mine from last week. i was 2 degrees away from all 6's. you're 1 degree away from all 4's! shoulda went 44 mph just to add to it. lol

 

The world's most funded track team. Those are the "improved" army fitness uniforms. They were trying to get out of our work parking lot without having to wait in traffic for the 1 exit we have for 3000+ soldiers to use.

 

Installed paint matched BumperShellz bought through CaliRaised. Install took about 2-1/2 hours, first one took about 2 and the second one took only a half hour or so. Some notes:

Covers go OVER the fog light housing. Meaning once these go on, the only option is to go through the wheel well or to remove the shell, and re-install it with new 3M tape.

The holes for the 2 12mm bolts on the bottom of the shell/wheel well liner are very hard to line up. Pic 3 shows that it doesn't line up well.

The install is much easier if you don't have parking sensors. No need to remove the liner, only 2 bolts to undo, clean the chrome, and install it. I took the grill off based off of recommendations that it makes it easier to apply full pressure to the 3m tape on the top of the shell.

 

Got the Lien Release paperwork in the mail yesterday!

 

I noticed the same thing on the fog lights. I wish I had realized it before, as I would have upgraded the fogs prior to installing the Bumpershellz. Not that it is the end of the world if they have to be removed and reinstalled, but just an inconvenience.

 

Good to know! No issues deforming the shells trying to get them un-stuck from the bumper?

 

I did it myself. And I sourced all my own parts. Aside from the transmission thermostat, outlet and inlet hoses and the hard lines (all OEM) that run along the engine, the rest is custom. I only needed a little less than 5ft of transmission hose and some AN fittings for the cooler. The bracket to mount the cooler is something I made with drawer slides I had laying around.

 

Installed a fun button, gonna try it around the neighborhood

 

Geez, and I thought that the Air Force PT uniforms were bad

 

Drove it to Hardees for a breakfast biscuit. The new prime rib. Meh.

 

ARMY... That explains everything.
