What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Removed stock bedside decals and replaced with matte black ones.

 

I haven’t had the best luck with AstroAI’s chucks either. Let us know if it’s any better though.

 

Will do.

Bummed to read that you’re having problems with the Astro’s.

 

It does ok, but I usually have problems getting it seated on one or two valve stems, and it seems like any movement will loosen it up and leak. I switched to a threaded chuck on my air gauge and using the quick chuck for air downs now.

 

I hear ya ref “any movement will loosen it up and leak.” PITA.

Which threaded chuck are you using?

 

It must have been one that came with the AstroAI gauge, because I can’t remember where else I would have bought it from. I found the listing on Amazon and that’s probably it:

It came with the quick chuck installed and I guess I threw the threaded one in my truck without thinking about it. I swapped them after my last off road trip when I couldn’t keep the quick chuck in place while airing back up at the house.

 

Ah, ok. I see what you’re talking about. Thnx for the details.

 

Hey Kevin, I was looking over there web site. It looks like your went with the matte finish cover? Watching there video the matte looks better than the gloss finish. Just my opinion. Which one did you go with. Also standard or Pro? Thanks Don.

 

I have this AstroAI guage and it's so nice having a digital read out. The only thing that confuses me is that it shows different values when I'm pumping air in vs when I stop.

 

While you are pumping you do not get an accurate reading since it is influenced by the pressure in the line which is higher than the pressure in the tire (that's how you get airflow into the tire.) To get an accurate pressure reading of the tire pressure alone you must stop filling or the line pressure must match the final tire pressure (which will result in slow fill.)

 

Looks good

 

I use to love doing that. Someone complains their car won't start, I tell them give me a hammer and I'll get it on. Told a friend of mine to try it on his Tahoe and he didn't realize you only need a small tap and he whacked the shit out of it and snapped one of the mounting bolts. They were probably on the way out anyways if that's all it took, or he is a lot stronger then I thought.

 

I went with the matte finish, I believe it’s the “pro” it’s aluminum and the slats are a little thicker. I just went out and grabbed some pics that I don’t think they’d show online in case they’re helpful. It’s not 100% water tight, not a big deal for me but maybe something you are weighing, there’s a gap in the tailgate so while the cover keeps water out (you can see my fingers on the other side), water will find a way in… you can also see how easily it attaches to the truck with the provided hardware. Most of the install time was getting it lined up *just right* — with a buddy and a place to store it— you could remove this in under 5 minutes. And finally, you can see there’s a good amount of room under the can if you were picking up a few sheets of plywood for example

 

Went from 20s to 18s on 37s

 

installed Baja designs s8 light on prinsu roof rack..these things kick ass

 

Finished a few of the obligatory new owner "mods".

Grill emblem


Grab Handle


Console organiser


Blinded by reflections too often so have the dash chrome delete kit ordered. Will do that next, or possibly the wireless charger and USB ports for the kids behind the center console.

 

Put TRD cold air intake on last weekend and finally installed my Borla cat back exhaust today. But the big one is that I paid it off 2 weeks ago! More parts money!

 

Have you considered a loose or intermittent ground to the window motor? The ground is making through the door hinge when you open the door? Just reaching.

 

Upgraded 2016 steel wheels to 20” rims from a Sequoia “Black” edition I got off Facebook for $1000 with less than 1k miles and black lugs with wheel lock. Tire shop charged $110 to swap over the TPMS. They turned it upside down, cut off the two hanging plastic ends and shave them
Down, includes disposal of old steel wheels and tires with 40k miles. The black are like the Tundra limited 20” wheels but black.

 

You've done all the same mods I did when I got mine. IMO you can skip the wireless charger that goes in the armrest. Mine hardly get used because of how slow it is. I have the dash wireless charger and the 3 USB ports in the back for the kids.

 

What dash wireless charger do you have? Next mod idea for me?....

 

The same one you have... and hate.

 

I have the same cover. Went outside today and just noticed a stripe of what feels like felt at the end of the cover closest to the canister. Do you have this as well? Like I said, I just saw it and it's been installed for weeks. Seems like it just came out of nowhere!!

 

Ahhh...the bouncy pro holder. I had to redo the adhesive on mine. The clear JB Weld was coming loose so I redid it with the 2 part and then painted it.

 

yes, I’ve got the same velvety lead piece— looks identical to yours, it disappears when the cover is rolled up or if it’s not fully extended it’s also hidden. If I had to bet, there’s probably much more inside the canister and this contributes to the nice soft close.

I’ll be keeping my eye on it as the rest of the cover appears indestructible with the exception of this little plastic part that serves to retain the cover in the fully locked position. (Pic included) P.S. be sure to register within 30 days to get full warranty coverage!

 

Good looking rig

 

Sweet rig

 

Added a peddle commander on mine. Absolutely the coolest mod yet

 

Nice rig

 

I have the Astro Al digital tire inflator. I’m having the same issues you described. Worked for a while but now I have to get the chuck just right for it not to leak while inflating. Hopefully you have better luck, or it’s just something that needs to be replaced once in a while.
