What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Oof, that's not awesome.

 

Attempted to drill out the rivets on the spare tire guides which was a failure. Next tried to use an air hammer which worked, but very slow since my 26 gallon compressor couldn't keep up. After about 45 mins I threw in the towel and went to Midas thinking they could use a plasma cutter and have them cut off in less than five minutes. They were able to fully remove them using their Snapon air hammer and a pry bar in about fifteen minutes. Total cost was $15 from them and totally worth it. Went home and sprayed some flat black paint on the area and successfully fit my full size spare 295/70/18 Cooper AT3 XLT.

 

Ibused a recip saw. went through like a hot knife through butter then a quick hit with vthe grinder and some black rustoluem.

 

Nice. Looks like a clean job!

 

Thanks

 

Bed lights, used a door dome light switch so the lights come on when the gate is open and off when closed. I used a factory switch, a 6” led bar from VLEDS, and a bunch of wire and loom.

 

Finally got a around to debadging my Pro. The cleaner look is much nicer. I just like the look of the Pro and tundra indented into the bed.

 

Quick video testing Fox shocks.

 

which Fox’s?

 

That was probably the first thing I did. That and a shorty antenna.

 

Yeah just took some time getting around to it.

 

^ Looks good. I’m torn between the Fox 2.5 and the Blistens. I won’t be wheeling that hard but want to get to some off the beaten path camp site when I get my AT Summit

 

Spend the money! It’s worth it.

 

On the Fox 2.5s?

 

Yes Fox 2.5 DSC.

 

Finally updated the taillights no longer just the lower bulb lighting up.
Thanks to Hotshot offroad

 

Just another method: I used a side grinder and ground off the inner most rivet heads on both brackets and then drilled out the remainder. Tilted/bent the brackets back at the outer rivets and put a 1/2” spacer with new bolts in place of the inner rivets. This gave enough extra space for my Cooper Discoverer XLT AT3 295/70 R18 spare and the brackets remain functional.

 

The Fox 2.5’s are amazing especially after being tuned. Tremendous difference in ride quality.

 

Ugh…now y’all have me rethinking my entire life. Haha. I guess I could talk myself into the whole buy once cry once mindset. But how often do you have to rebuild the Fox’s?

 

It should be around 50,000 miles for straight highway use and then it goes down from there depending on how much off road you do.

 

I did a torque check on the lift I installed a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised that both lower front shock bolts were very loose, along with the LCA bolts. I wonder if the shop that did my alignment forgot to torque things.

 

$15 well spent. They aren’t hard to do, but at an awkward angle.

 

Crazy cant even tell that they are on

 

LOL

 

I had this issue as well. Lowes had some little white nylon spacers that worked nicely for me. in the nuts and bolts bins.

Put 50,000 on it

 

Installed an RCA Jack for the trailer camera.

 

My '17 DC going into her 5th winter in the salt belt.

Slimed-up with fluid film on/in body panels and I'm trying Blaster surface shield (spraybomb) on areas of high exposure (frame,suspension,rear axle, etc.).


Transfer case fluid change (31k; I did the front & rear diff back at 30k). orig fluid was clean...just brown; I use 4wd quite a bit.
