What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Love the channel brother! It's my go to for when I need help with mods! Huge help!!!

 

This is nice !!!! I sure could use those at the boat ramp in the A.M. !

Looking forward to the write up !

 

Haha my other toy! But still the tundra gets a bit more love..

 

Yeah, good eye! Incredible product quality. It was the lowest profile winch bumper I could find. Only thing about it was the winch fairlead. I got a Smitty 97495 winch for it, which comes with a roller fairlead. The face of the winch opening on the bumper points downward and, on a non-lifted truck, it’s a little too close to the ground for my liking (13”). Bought a Hawse fairlead and a shackle for the tongue... still some tweaks to do, but it’s near perfection for me.

 

DIY closet bed lights yet a Lamborghini in the garage. You can’t hide money!

 

I mean, if he's anything like me/us, DIY closet bed lights are because that's all one can afford after the Lambo & insurance for it. LOL

 

The OEM is made by Amp-Research, so they're one in the same. I did buy through Toyota, though, as Sparks had it for $220 - best price I could find for it. It lists for $270 for the Tundras, $30 more than the normal $240 list price since the Tundra needs an additional bracket. The bracket replacement is the most difficult/time consuming aspect of the job, mainly moving plastic bumper pieces to get at the bracket bolts.
It functions fine, aesthetically isn't to obnoxious, and is plenty robust. I recommend it.

 

Any interior pictures?

 

I love the subtle flex, and it doesn't come across as intentional either. haha! Great car. I'm gonna show my son your DIY bed lights (he's taking over my 2014 Tundra) as an idea for his own and see how many seconds it takes him to notice. He's been car obsessed for years.

 

i want train horns!!!!!
i've been looking at some on hornblasters website but can't decide which sound i prefer - i don't want something that sounds like it's screaming - i want a deep train sound but not too expensive either. i don't want to spend more than $500ish

 

100 year old man getting interviewed by a reporter on his 100th birthday. Reporter asks,, "Sir, to what do you attribute your great age?"

Old man looks at the reporter like he's an idiot and replies. "To the fact that I haven't DIED yet!"

I maintain that I'm not old; I'm only 22. I just have 38 years experience at being 22!

 

I have the same phone and wireless charger. My case makes my phone larger and it still fits in the spot. The cubby is about 1/2" larger then the stock cubby. Hope this helps.

 

Nice to see someone take time out of their day to give a shout out. So many times we take things for granted and forget that someone like CD offers their talent to others. Thank to both of these guys!

 

Hydrographics...

It's almost too glossy

Got sick of not having a good place to secure my trailer hitch when I'm not using it. I don't have enough room in the under seat storage boxes and didn't like having a chunk of steel rolling around in the bed.

I picked up a (I'd never use one for ACTUAL towing, but this seems like a good use) and bolted it to the cargo rail.

Seems to work well. and for $20 and all of about 5 minutes to install not a bad deal. I might drill the hole for the pin through the "top" so I can rotate the ball, but I'll roll with this for a while an see how it work.

 

Nice idea. Especially since just south of you in Marxachusetts, it's apparently illegal to have the hitch in the receiver if you're not actually towing a trailer. Although I've never had a cop ever say anything to me about it.

 

Makes perfect sense, we can't punish those that rear end us because of driving while texting with some extra damage from our hitches.... Those poor people need protecting.

 

only 35 years of experience according to your math for me...lol

 

Starting the slow build to armorizing...

Started with C4 sliders.

Theses are the most beefy, frame-mounted, non-weld sliders I’ve seen.

Thanks to @CorsoTundra for the great deal!



I really like how they line up with my flares and wheel/tire offset.




No more door dings!



These things literally make a small c-channel around the frame.

 

That was the first mod I did to mine....

 

I've lived just north of the border for 50 years. Never had any one bother me either. That said, I don't tow that often but want to have the hitch with me and accessible.

Plus, I don't like having the hitch in when I'm not towing anyway (I've lost too much blood from my shins over the years).

 

Nice!...audio is something I’m starting to think about, but I’ll be the first to admit that’s not one of my areas of expertise...hahaha...I’ll be messaging you for help when the time comes!

Thanks man, I appreciate that!!

Absolutely, his tie downs are awesome...glad he decided to share em with us!

 

How old is old?

 

Seriously?.... I don't think my hitch has been removed longer than 5 minutes, just to move it, oil it up, and re-install it just in case I NEED to pull it for a larger ball. What kind of nonsense is that?????

 

I have been rear-ended by these distracted drivers and even had my left elbow clipped while riding my bike to the trail, I'm for as much punishment as possible for them.

The guy that clipped me on my mountain bike even had the audacity to stop, check his mirror, then flip me off as he drove away further up the road. I was almost close enough to get his plate, when he sped away.

 

i like this. i do personally prefer to keep a hitch on to help protect me and my truck. i've had one person tap me in the back on an off ramp with my hitch. it broke her grille/bumper, but didn't phase me. i do like the tow and stow though. it saves my (an others') shins as well as still protects the truck (to an extent obviously)

 

caught some heavy rain and took a pic on my way to the gym during lunch.


then on the way back i drove through cracker barrells' parking lot. i have 7.75" of sidewall on my tires. this was with the lower part of the wake pushed out. so their parking lot prob had about 9 or 10" of standing water!

 

49... feeling like 79 after being air lifted from a Mustang GT total. Plus a few bad atv and dirt bike landings from pushing too hard. If only I could relive some of that and have slowed down just a tad when I was younger ...

 

What do these do?
