What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Took off my 3” afe catback (because of drone and shit performance) and had a flowmaster super 50 welded in to stock tailpipe. Cut the tailpipe after the last hanger and have ZERO drone. Finished off with a dynomax short 4” tip. Still on the fence about the tip. Love the way the super 50 sounds and the price. Whole set up was around $200

 

Yep. I have Gators. Love.them so far. Were a snug fit but so far so good. I'd buy them again.

 

Thanks brother!

 

While I was proud of my own redneck switch panel, my OCD couldn’t handle the uneven cuts I made, plus I really like the factory look of the panels by @Rocfrog . I also found a couple of LED switches that aren’t too bright on Amazon, which the one adds a little zombie fun .

Word of warning on these Amazon switches. Once you plug in the harness, it’s pretty much permanent. I plugged them in to test before putting everything back together, and I couldn’t unplug them by hand. Had to use pliers, ended up ripping out two wires. I was able to finagle them back in and they’re working, but I ordered replacements just in case.

 

When you added in the plate, is the stock "tray" underneath cut out so that it could never be removed without a hole?

 

Yes, you cut the original trim piece. Otherwise you'd not be able to run wires either.

 

Might be the coolest setup i've seen in a while. That's rad!

 

You will love it Joey. Take it for a ride around Bear Mountain or The Gunks.

 

Didn’t make up to Bear Mountain but I got on the Palisades and man do I love it! It’s an awesome upgrade because it drives like a whole different truck.

 

Yep.

 

I've been a bit busy over the last week or so. Got some time off from work so I made a rear seat delete with a pull out drawer, added some UCAs courtesy of Freedom Off Road, and added a set of Bushwacker fender flares. Fender Flares were easy enough... But that trim, my lord they need to do something about that trim.

 

Shout out to the Ebay seller Jaysbird14, this vinyl is thick, quality cut and has a grid backing for application. I also purchased a mountain vinyl from TVD that goes over the tailgate "TUNDRA" which didn't work out as well, thankfully TVD provided a replacement and it looks great also.

 

4” lift and some fuel hardline 20x10 negative 18 offset. 285-55-20. Once the tires run out I’ll go bigger maybe 295/55.

the goal was to be flush or a 1/4” inside the flare.

 

Today drove up to York Beach, Maine and went to a light house.

Got home and changed my rear brakes, rotors and installed my Bora 1.25” spacers.

Went for the 5 mile test drive. I’ll check torque tomorrow when I do my AIP Hose Relocation.


Loving the wider stance! Can’t wait for these tires to die and get a size larger.

 

Had Icon Stage 3 lift installed with SPC Upper Control Arms
Coachbuilder Shims up front
Method 701s 18" with 295/70 18 Toyo Open Country AT3s
Sitting right at 3" increase in the front and 1.5" in the rear

 

Are those Spyder, Recon, or other LED tail lights?
Very nice looking rig!

 

They’re Spyder. I like them a lot and have had no issues. Thank you!

 

Cool. I'm getting the black/red ones soon so good to know. Beautiful scenery in your other photo BTW.

 

Installed my C4 Overland Bumper over the weekend with:
-DD 30" Light Bar
-BD SAE FOG
-BD LP9
-Warn VR Evo 12-S
-Factor 55 Ultrahook/ Rope Guard

 

Got some new shoes today. Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 275/55/20. Great looking. 30 mile drive home and the ride was a little stiffer and the only noticable noise was from 65 to 67 mph, at 70 they got quieter. Running 40 psi, anybody got any suggestions? I'm thinking 40 is a good place to start.

 

Switched out the rear console cigarette lighter for four USB ports. Special kudos to Stephen - @Chelly - for a quality 3D printed mounting plate. Better than OEM mounting plate with a perfect fit. Smart USB chargers from Sparks (00016-00225) and SE Toyota. Only slow part was getting them installed and shortening the charger wires.

 

A couple of folks have already asked, but I didn't see an answer. What drone do you have?

And I love the dog watching the drone so closely as it descended!

 

Did you put PPF behind the flares? I would highly recommend it. Also, Bushwacker has an upgraded "C" channel style of seal.

 

I have them in 285/70/18's and I run mine at 44.

 

Thanks, I may bump them up. The sidewall on the 20s is shorter and stiffer so I figured I'd start at a lower pressure. I think I'll put 44 in them and see how it handles. Thanks

 

This looks sharp! How plug and play was this? I have the wireless charger on the way so installing this while I have the console apart would be optimal.

 

Perfect time to do it. I had already done the wireless charger but this only requires popping off the back of the console. Get the super excellent mounting plate from @Chelly and the USB chargers from Sparks (or other SE Toyota dealer); remove three screws to replace the plate; screw the USB chargers into the plate (or keep one as the cigarette lighter if you want); wires are long on the chargers - probably 4 feet because made for a number of vehicles - so I shortened wires to about 18 inches, then used the t-taps proved with the chargers to the cigarette lighter wires. Very easy job. Almost idiot proof.

 

Installed a second Swing Case.
