What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sure thing, GPS speed, Speed Difference (between GPS speed and ECU speed, to see the speed difference when going from factory tire size to something different), ECU speed, RPM, Engine coolant temp, Transmission pan and torque converter temps (custom PID’s, very useful when towing), and ECU voltage (neat to see how much draw you have from your LED bars).

 

Vankyo tablets from Amazon, pretty cheap, but since they’re both only really running one app, decent for the coin. Nice thing is they have GPS.

Anyone got a bead on a deal for these?

 

Have seen any. I stole mine lol.

 

My buddy totaled his 2007 tundra in a hail storm we had last year. I tried to snag it before he traded it in on his new 2021 Tundra but I missed out. And he totaled that truck in less than 2 weeks. And...now Driving a Ram Diesel. Crazy shit.

 

Damn, take his license lol. Mine was compliments of my 2013 before Carvana picked it up.

 

Finally got my badge installed

 

Thanks y’all...yep, Nerdvana

 

Mine had halogens and since the LED ones were 100 bucks for the pair and plug n play it was a no brainer.

The extinguisher is mounted on the wall mount it came with and some zip ties and dense foam for placement from my work. I used the seat hardware. Doesnt get it in way when moving. It's the perfect amount of space.

 

Alot of people want matching headlight /foglight colors and/or better lighting performance.
I wanted better lighting without just adding more lights and/or light bars. More of a stock factory looks with less clutter.

Honestly, I have been through the entire fog light range.

Stock Halogen housings with Stock bulbs
Stock Halogen housings with upgraded bulbs (CON: shorter life, struggled with moisture issues)
Stock Halogen Housing with HIDs bulbs (CON: Kept getting moisture in lens, glare and unfocused light pattern)
Aftermarket Morimoto LED fogs. Looked cool, crisper cutoff line (CON: Terrible build quality. light throw pattern was more limited than halogen. Light shorted and fried 2 years from purchase)
Stock LED housing. Overall best factory option for long term, no maintenance option.
Rigid D-series Pro driving pattern with TRD PRO surround. (CON: Cost, also fogs no longer DOT complaint, essentially high beams only).

My recommendations are:
1. Use OEM lights (LED/Halogen). Stay away from 3rd party fog lights that aren't listed below
2. Rigid D-series- Industry leader in aftermarket lighting for several years
3. KC Gravity series- DOT compliant option. discrete almost stock look
4. Diode dynamics- best bang for the buck with great reviews and performance.

Obviously options 2-4 have significant cost

 

Put fire extinguisher in the other night using bracketeer mount. Also I must say there is no better color then white vehicle (mine and the Wife's whips)

 

Installed a screen protector today.

Also found out the CURT 23518 trailer hitch lock is too short for my Tundra. No worries; it’s now on the 4Runner. But can anyone recommend a good quality black hitch lock that fits well? Most I've seen online neglect to specify this dimension in the description. TIA

 

I had to look it up....thats crazy.

 

Looks like 23021 will fit but it's not black.

 

How much was that mounting hardware for the extinguisher? Can you still move seat freely?

 

Do these mirrors make my hood bulge look big?

 

My what huge mirrors you have.

 

Yup can still move seat freely. You can mount it a couple ways which makes it pretty legit. Link is below.

Yup it will for sure work there. And I agree it's a bit pricey for something to just hold a fire extinguisher. Wouldn't necessarily say it's totally worth the money but it is a pretty good piece of gear and holds the extinguisher nicely.

 

I'll have to take another look at this then, since my boys carseat is back there anyway, it wouldn't be in anyone's way, even though under my seat is empty, unused space also.

 

It’s been a while! Finally purchased new wheels. Bronze Fuel covert 18x9 20mm offset and new Nitto Ridge Grapplers 280/70R18. Pics coming soon!

 

He hit ice on a fishing trip and went off a cliff. Safe and wasn’t injured but I think the tundra was like 8-10 days old.

 

looks good! I like your set up!

 

doooooiiiiittttttt. Don’t forget the hood bulge though.

 

I’m new to Tundra so explain this one for me....you got me worried. Came from Jeep to a 4R and now this for my first truck.

 

Level and new tires yesterday!

 

What size tires you rolling with? Like that look!

Catalytic converter theft is on the rise due to the demand and price of the precious metals that are in them. Our trucks are very popular targets. There are 2 guys that make steel plates to cover them. One guy (Desert Eagle) is backed up on orders, but one of his local dealerships that he sells to may have some....you would have to call. Don McGill of Katy TX. Ask for Frank in parts..... 832-772-1000

The other guy just started and his vendor status is in work. His name is Tyler. He makes a front plate to cover the same area. The advantage that he has is that he makes a rear plate as well for a little more protection. Text him at 816-438-8156

Post #483 has info that I posted yesterday.
