What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thank you sir

TOYO Open Country C/Ts
They are a cross between A/Ts and M/Ts

 

Isn't it not recommended until 15k IF you tow and at 30k if not?

 

I think it's 15k for the front diff and 30k for the rear if you tow. I changed it early because @ColoradoTJ said something to me a while back about changing it early to clean out all the metal shavings from it being broken in. He was right, as always.

 

That didn't take you very long.

 

So you did both?

 

Haven't done the front yet. Plan on that next week

 

Upgraded from 35" to 37" tires. Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts

 

No rubbing up front Mike? You must have the CMC I assume?

 

Wax on...Wax off.....That's a whole lotta TRUCK......But she looks good now !!! My arms are TIRED ...lol

 

How many of you guys use a power buffer when waxing?

Im not the kind of guy that waxes his truck.....but I know I should be. If I keep this beast its going to the detailer next month.

 

I still use the Armstrong method. Just the old school way of thinking.

 

You and me both.

 

I use the empty wallet method.

 

Finally got around to installing my Morimoto XB fogs I've had on the counter for weeks from the group buy. Not much to take a picture of, but it's something...

 

Being im an "EX" Autobody painter and now manage a shop, i have buffed literally THOUSANDS of vehicles....but i prefer to wax my own vehicles by hand. Now my Tundra is one month old, AND black !!..I knew what what i was getting into when i bought a black truck. After waxing it today, i looked it over real good. I see that im going to have to get the ole buffer out and hit it with some 3M Perfect It III polish !!!. It looks good right now, BUT I SEE WHAT I SEE....And im ANAL TO A FAULT !!!...Swirls in the clearcoat!!...I will probably buff it in a couple months, then wax it again...after im done with it, it will look like a MIRROR !!!....

 

Installed some yesterday. Out of the box they are pointed down. Make sure you angle them a little higher to get some coverage

 

New Harbor Freight trailer..paint to match the Tundra

 

I use my orbital sander with a pad

 

On my list to install tomorrow.

 

Agreed. I adjusted mine to have just nearly 2 threads of the adjustment screws showing above the top piece of plastic. I like where that has the light pattern

 

Finally got me a Softopper! Install wasn't too bad with two people and reading the directions. I did realize though, you can't really use the seam sealer while it is in the up position. The applicator just won't work that way.

 

I installed them too last week. I did it myself and only took 1hr15min.

Even made a how to video.

Can't beat the price!

I think the Tundras look best without running boards, but my family needs them. I'll probably take these out once they're older. Or the N-Fabs look good on the Tundra, but I don't want to spend that much money.

 

I'm in the same boat. I so want to to rip the existing boards off, but I will take a beating from the boss as soon as she realizes what happened, which will be the first time she tries to get her 5'4" frame up into the passenger seat.

The kids won't mind, they like a challenge. Climbing up in the truck is a gas for them...

 

amp...just say'n

 

Whats your lift?

 

I've been hearing a rattle underneath my front end. I crawled underneath for a while and found that several bolts on my swaybar drop brackets had come loose. I tightened them up and now she's running nice and quiet again.

 

Installed my BakFlip MX4 I got through the group buy.

 

Swapped out the chrome handles...

 

So envious. I want one of these so bad ha
