What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

It’s parked right now (waiting for alignment). I’m on 295/70 Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the photo. I’m ordering a set of 35’s today. Once those get put on, I’ll get an alignment and be able to drive it so I can’t take more pics. Haha.

 

Man they definitely look good with 35’s but the gas mileage is a killer. I wonder how much power loss is it with 35’s. I felt it just with going with 285’s.

 

Nice! Curious how your alignment goes to. You have factory UCA’s?

 

Yeah, factory UCA’s. According to Westcott Designs, you can keep the factory UCA’s and have no issues. Many members are running this exact lift or at least the same front and I haven’t seen any reported alignments issues. My buddy who helped me install the lift has the exact setup on his Pro and didn’t have any issues. Every truck is a little different so I’m hoping for the same results. Highly recommend this setup to retain the Fox suspension and add some lift to to fit 35’s and/or 37’s with some other minor mods.

 

Yeah I haven’t read about any issues with alignment after the Wescott lift and others have told me their’s aligned fine. I’m running CB shims (approx .75”-1” lift) and my alignment guy told me I’m pretty much maxed out but I’d like to get the Wescott.

 

I got the front two windows tinted to 35% today with ceramic tint and left the rear glass alone. I wanted a little more privacy and heat blocking while driving around.

 

Finally got the chrome delete finished up. I went the bumpershellz route, and had them painted at a local body shop. The surround and bulge are from my local dealer. The rear bumpers were colour matched from the factory so no work needed there! Love how it came out, totally changes the look. Fitment of the bumpershellz isn't perfect, but pretty good. Could have been user error as well.

 

Looks real nice! Get the trd pro grill that says TOYOTA on it.

 

Just finished my TRD pro front grille project. Used the MC Auto one, much cheaper. Painted it to match myself with spray Calvary Blue (8W2) from a can. Finished it off with 2k clear from spray max. I took my time and I’m happy with how it turned out. Next project is the front and rear bumper cap overlays. They are painted just waiting to be cleared.

 

You building there? Would be a great porch view every morning!

 

Gave her a bath and put a new hitch on.

 

Installed

$435 Firestone 2445 Firestone 07-09TOY Tundra

Firestone 2445 Airbags with Daystar Cradles. I ran the fill valves out the license plate holes.

 

let us know how they ride. I'm considering installing some, but have heard both good and bad things about them... so IDK what to do

 

I did the rear bumper caps too. It took a total of 4 cans to get it all done correctly.

 

Having a 1200 sq ft a frame rebuilt that's just in front of my Tundra out of frame. That's the view from the patio. Here's a photo from last winter.

 

I have them with stock TRD Red suspension and 2" spacers in the front. They ride very well for my street tow. I found 10psi was the sweet spot for daily driving and makes the truck handle better. 5psi was too soft.

 

Do you have to completely take apart the knob or does it fit over it?

 

Ok thanks! I’ve got one that’s been sitting in my toolbox but it’s been low on my list to get done. Seeing your post about not pulling half the dash apart to get to it might push me to get it done now lol.

 

I installed this set of Anzo headlights.

 

Turned 40,000 miles today!

 

With the cradles they ride exactly the same as stock. Others say without it’s a stiffer ride. I haven’t had enough weight in the bed to exactly test yet.

 

I have had this set up installed for about a year now, granted I had a canopy and the decked drawer system installed but with 15 pounds of air it’s light riding on a cloud of air.

 

Hit 1600 miles, installed skid plates.

 

I'm jealous, what a beautiful place. Enjoy.

 

-18 and I am having some cuts made this week....

Not quite what I’ve done, but wondering what kinds of marks these are…doesn’t look like mouse or chipmunk

 

Snail. Truck been parked a while?

 

Was thinking snake, but snail makes more sense with the marks.

 

I'm sure it depends on the snail, and surface. It's a best guess based on some internet pics, so I could be entirely wrong. But what I really want to know is how the heck a snail can find its way onto the top of an engine.
