What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Just wondering what you did to fit those? I'm currently running the stock trd off road suspenion, no level and 285/65r18 KO2's. I'd like to level in the future and not sure if I'll want to bump up in size. I'm loving my KO2's. Funny to me the people on here that say Falken Wildpeaks are smoother and not as stiff. I went from Falken's to these and the opposite is true imo. I love the KO2's

 

Not my tundra, but a Toyota. Changed the rear pads on the Sienna. I normally turn or replace the rotors, but given they were the rears and had no issues, I bought a 3M rotor resurfacing kit to remove the old pad finish. Old pads were squealing on the warning tabs.

Ordered a couple cheap insurance items. 8 years/120k on the originals.

 

Second seat finished. Happy New Year!

 

Thanks, they are Fiveteen52 Turbomac wheels. These are 20x9 +18 on 35/1150/20. I'm also running a 1.5 wheel spacer

 

Looking great!

 

Replaced the 32 valve lifters without removing the camshafts

 

Finally had time to put on my color matched sequoia grill

 

$10 at the junkyard and 15 min of install time got me this auto-dimming/compass/garage door mirror to replace my delaminating mirror. Wired into the fuse box to turn on with ignition.

 

Do you know if you're getting the full fast charging capabilities?(15watts instead of 7.5) Reason I ask is my research showed that it's not possible with any charger except the apple certified ones. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/be...s-chargers-for-apple-iphone-13-and-iphone-12/

here's how a dude did a speed test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woaWYdrih_M

 

Looks like a lot of work.. Were they bad? Replace with same/new?

 

I'll test this with Ampere and I'm going to be pretty annoyed to discover I did all that extra wiring for nothing.

 

Yea I would be annoyed too. I’ve got a solution for you if you need

 

Getting close to buying some new headlights. Was thinking Alpharex or Morimoto to save some cost. Every time I see one of these front ends I second guess myself. Maybe I should just pony up and spend the coin on the sequoia headlights. Looking great!!

 

No second guessing, pay once, cry once... Pony up the coin.. Good luck and post pics..

 

Oil change, air horn, and Redarc Tow Pro Liberty installed. It's so much better than the old Pilot tow controller that was installed.

You don’t want to know ! It’s a lot of work but normaly not possible without removing the cams.But after I did a heads rebuild a month ago and got it running again I had knocking sounds after a week driving.So I thought only thing left are the 32 lifters, but I didn’t want to take the whole engine apart again, so I found another way to replace the lifters with new ones.

 

Very cryptic...

Hope it fixed your knocking noises.

Does not look like they would be particularly fun to get to.

Were you able to pull the lifters apart and reassemble in place??

 

It is possible, when you loosen up the cams bolts you will get just enough clearance depending on the angle of the cams, it’s a pain in the ass.But still better then taking the distribution cover off for the second time in a short while

 

Got the goat rack put back on the truck finally

 

You have a link for those? Pretty sharp looking upgrade

 

Don't bother with the alpharex lights. Waste of money, I bought a set and they started accumulating condensation at just the one year mark. The led strips stopped working just under the 1 year mark as well. I threw them in the trash and forked the dough out for a set of 18+ oem sequoia's and I couldn't be happier.

 

SunoSprings!! Writing an article for TrailTundra on them but basically supposed to help with leaf sag from towing/added bed weight like my RTT/bed rack.



gonna do Durobumps in the front here soon! Stoked to see how those soften on bad washboard

 

They're custom from Canada Seat Skins but they arrive in a Katzkins box. CSS seemed to have more configuration options-I wanted to add some complexity and detail to the seats.

 

I had the pleasure of pulling out the starter on my 5.7. I was at the in-laws house and got the classic “click”. I’m waiting on the oem starter to come in to my local Toyota dealer. Hopefully the instal will be easier!

update. The new one went in smooth...er than the removal. New starter was much smaller and also sounds different. More high pitched and spins faster. Still a pain in the butt and took me like 5 hours rolling around in the grass. It also helps to have about 3 foot of extensions to help remove that top bolt.

 

This is the route I want to take as well, seems like the best way imo. They look great btw.

 

Working in getting things mounted. Need to get a quick-fist for my axe to told it in place.
Propane tanks, 5 gal gas cans all fit well. Waiting on a D ring to arrive to put at the rear bed bolt to hook a bungee to from the front axle of the jack to hold it in place and get a bungee for the jack handle and boxes to keep them all in place without using cord.
Black- basic hand tool kit. Red- HD jumper cables. Tan- tow strap, shackles, air hose, tire fill chuck, extra cordage. Need to get another set of quick-fist mounts for my second 5lb extinguisher to mount it underslung with the axe and shovel that I am required to keep with my truck for my job.
I am going to move my air compressors from underneath up the the side of the bed next to the water tank, and probably add a 5 gal tank above the wheel well also (have a 3 gal mounted above the driveshaft under the front of the bed).

 

KB VOODOO 18” rack w toolbox and Bakflip X4S installed. RTT coming soon…

 

Ah ha!

Filed away for possible future kludge.
