What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I let it expire, and I've had remote start since. '20 1794.

 

I opted out and my remote start still works.

 

Did you opt out of Toyota monitoring your driving habits and vehicle health data?
Vehicle Data Transmission

 

Started to do that via my cell phone, but I accidentally got some reality in my eyes before I could finish.

 

Was annoyed that Leer's cap does not have working dome lights. Yeah, it has one, but is connected to DRL. Means, no light unless the engine is running and DRL is on, which never happens at nights in the wilderness, when bladder calls for a short rendezvous with mother nature.

Had to fix that with a standalone small lead-acid battery, battery charger and reverse flow protection to prevent parasitic battery drain to truck's circuits.

Smoke test. The charging controller fits inside fuse box after minor trimming (not visible from outside).




The cage. Pardon my amateur welds...



Primed, painted.



Installed.



Battery was later secured with a zip tie. It is protected from water (cap and rear hatch were additionally sealed), easily removable, sits behind a fuse, can sustain heating to >120F and freezing below 0F, unlike LiPo batteries.

 

I attempted that, but was on hold for like 15 minutes. That hold music was loud as hell! Is this something different than the connect stuff? I assumed they were one in the same.

 

Installed the plates...no more rubbing

 

Ordered Clazzio leather seat covers....gotta love discounts and free shipping

 

Are those big slivers / chunks of metal? Not what I would expect to see... the paste on the magnet is normal. I'd be concerned seeing pieces of metal larger than a grain of sand.

 

Yikes - Good thing you cleaned it out.

 

What size tires are you running?

 

A good excuse in the future to upgrade it to the locking diff! =)

 

How deep was that water ?

 

What fender flares are those ?

 

how i read things because of your text font

 

Get your reading glasses on Grandpa

That's commitment

 

That's pretty scary. I'm running up on 20k miles and haven't changed it. I drive somewhat spirited as well...

 

I LOVE MINE!!

 

Factory Toyota. I bought used.

Leitner bed rack came in. The CVT Mt Hood came in damaged so gotta wait a few more weeks for a new one to come in. Hoping I can get everything ready for October. Lmk if anyone is interested in a Napier truck tent lol.

 

I had them in my 2013 before I sold it. Ordered today and scheduled for Tuesday delivery.

 

All normal stuff for the first fluid change fellas.
I had the same shavings and a few other members have posted the same thing. The consensus is it's leftover debris from the manufacturing process of the diff housing.

Hope this helps!
