What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Unfortunately no. Lots of aftermarket ones do

 

Bought some replqcement valve caps as I was missing a couple. Got the longer 'tpms specific' ones, unfortunately only 1 goes on as the stems seem to be not out far enough? 2nd wheel pic is the valve that took the cap.

They all seem tight. For now the others have regular schraeder bicycle type caps.

 

Just ordered my new Faulken wildpeak AT3 tires and the bumper shim kit from coachbuilder. I’ll post pics in a few weeks when I get everything installed.

 

First time using it but impressed so far!

Do the door seals and all the plastic on the bed rails, bumpers and if you have plastic overlays on the running boards.

 

I just upgraded mine recently too

 

Built a grocery box to keep everything from rolling around the bed. Only cost me about $23 to make, (paint and handles) Also had the front windows tinted (20% ceramic)

 

Headed to the woods for the afternoon. Followed this rainbow most of the way home.

 

Got me some AlphaRex headlights as of yesterday. No chances of installing it yet cause I spaced out on ordering a convertor. On a plus note, if anyone was interested in changing their halogens headlights into a brighter and cooler looking OEM LED Headlights, let me know.

 

Vacuumed, cleaned floor mats, wiped down interior.

 

Got the aluminum skid installed today, as well as Rab Rubber fender liner engine splash guards(the stock one were ripped off when I bought the truck used).

 

I was about to buy these the other day, but I forgot to put 2 of the cheap black ones back on the last time I aired up. So this probably isn’t a product for me.

 

Changed the oil at 2400 miles since I’m picking up my Escape 19 travel trailer in 10 days and wanted to get the break in debris out. The filter had a decent amount of metal in it. I’m sure the oil was fine and the filter was doing a good job, this was just more for peace of mind when towing. I used Valvoline 0w20 “Extended Performance” and an OE filter.

 

Mild lift with Bilstein 5100's on top setting. 1 inch ready lift rear block, was level before installing the rear blocks, I tow a boat about every weekend for 4 months a year and didn't want the back sagging too much. Front passenger side measures 39.25 inches, drivers side.25 lower. rear 40.25. pretty much exactly what height difference is advertised from the highest setting vs stock. I pulled off the black OEM shocks with 38k on them. I think the 5100's on the top setting are SLIGHTLY firmer. Just barely enough to notice, still rides very nice. Debating adding 5160's to the rear vs 5100's. Haven't pulled the trigger on either yet, I know I need to swap the OE with something made for the 1 inch lift.

I'm not due for tires anytime soon but my intention is to run the largest all terrain (tallest) tires I can in the future. I doubt these have 7k miles on them. Anyone running TSS wheels on a similar setup that can recommend a tire size? 34 1/2ish equivalent I'm guessing? 295 60 R20? the factory TSS tires are just under a 32inch equivalent. I have an RCI front skid plate waiting to go on and I'm not afraid to heat up the wheel well liners and bend them out of the way etc. but i do NOT want to do a cab mount chop. Waiting on front and rear Valhalla shields to come in so I can get them all powder coated to match.

 

Beautiful!

 

Didn’t feel like doing Monday things… so I went to the track

 

What lugs did you buy and where from?

 

Change the look day. We start the day with:


Then in the interim get a good look at the Falcons:



And then the Falkens:

 

Man, I can. not. wait... I'm past the 8-week mark already since I got the invoice.

Couple q's... Did you have a Platinum stock front sway, or TRD; and is it more rolly now compared to pre-level? Rear? Any other comments or things I should be looking for? I like the stock feel with stock front and no rear sways; but if I'll want to move to stiffer front and adding rear, I'll likely want to get the shop to install those while they have the truck up on the lift.

Your truck looks really nice.

 

Heck of an improvement!

 

Replaced stock front sway with TRD at same time as Falcons installed and then I added rear sway as well. It is now planted to the ground, a lot less roll (corners at 35 mph). I do not find it stiffer but much greater control.

 

thank you sir. prolly the direction I'm headed.

 

What rotors and pads did you go with

 

some fuels and toyo at3s. waited on methods for 3 months and they kept delaying, oh well.

 

Stoptech rotors and Stoptech Sport pads.
