What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Before you try the below idea, it's worthy of mention that Desert Does It was extremely accommodating as I requested they refund me for the seat jackers I removed from the passenger seat. I pointed out to them that there was absolutely evidence that they'd been installed, and they didn't flinch.

I can imagine jury rigging something to lift the seat up an inch. Loosen the rear bolts, remove the front bolts, raise the front of the seat, reposition the front bolts 1" high (under the seat bracket), rest the seat bracket back down on the bolt heads and gingerly, tenderly sit down on the seat. Position the seat via the electric controls as you like, and see if the resulting dimensions blows your skirt up. Maybe a tad crazy, but for future reference your source will continue to produce results with that quality.

 

OK - maybe I want both now. Dammit

 

Yep, I like them alot.

 

tell me about it. AND your picture reminded me I want that rear AMPS panel too....

 

Exactly what I was going to use it for - that and mario kart for the kids on their switch.

 

Dayum!!!! We're still under $3 here in the Houston area. Over $4 near $5! That's insane

 

Wonder when the release date is?

 

Took her out to Mount Sunapee today

 

Nice grill badge.

 

Test fitted these “cam” style chains today from SCC. I’m greener than sh!t when it comes to tire chains. I plan to either zip-tie or wire back the extra links so we don’t cause any damage.

Critiquing welcomed.

I’m running to NAPA to get some tensioners.

 

Leave 1 or 2 loose links and cut off the extra links. They do quite a bit of damage if left to swing and tying them up can easily get unhooked and be left to start swinging. Over time with use you'll stretch out the chains and you'll go from 2 links loose to 3 or 4.

If you're needing the chains to go downhill with braking them think about cross-chaining. Only on the rears does very little for stopping, so put 1 on the front (left or right doesn't matter) then 1 on the back on the opposite side (if you do left front, do right rear)

 

Thanks for the reply!

I was worried about cutting links off in case I get 295’s or 285’s some day

My friend has a chain tool or something that he uses to add links and so on. Maybe I’ll just worry about adding links to these when bigger tires happen later on.

I’ve heard of people having clearance issues with chains on the front. I think this afternoon I’ll try them on the front just to see.

Here they are with the “Spider” style of bungee tensioners. I’m digging it. Pun intended.

 

BMC today... Thanks Speedfreek...

 

Received my Super Red II paint so I can match the TRD Red on the front tow hooks.

$15 Dupli-Color BTY1560 7 Perfect Match Automotive Spray Paint – Toyota Super Red II, 3E5 – 8 oz. Aerosol Can

Dupli-Color BTY1560 /3E5 paint code.

 

I was just looking into doing mine as well. When done, can you post pic of the final paint job?

 

Sure will. I can't say when though, back on travel next week and then overseas at the end of the month.

 

Not a problem and thank you for your service!

 

I could easily see you having clearance issues (My 275/65R18 Toyo AT3's even rub at full lock right) so it's a last resort choice. I just remember from using them if I couldn't get up the hill, no big deal, if I couldn't stop going down the hill it's time for new drawers. All about the terrain you're using them in

 

Installed the console portion of my AJT kit today, along with the door handle and vent rings. (All Chrome Must Die!)


I also did the startup and screen off mod to the radio.

I didn't realize we could do a screen off image. Guess I better start looking for one now.

 

10-4 on not being able to stop downhill and needing new undies. That’s what started this whole buying chains and stuff. When I got to the bottom I thanked God and told myself no more til I have chains.

 

I like that screen mod - don't think I can do it to my '21 though.

What are your impressions of the door handle overlays? Was thinking of replacing the whole handle with black, but the overlays might work.

 

When I first got them, I thought they were kinda cheap and flimsy, but they are growing on me. Nice thing is, they are only clipped on the front and held with 3M tape, so they are easily removed if I decide I don’t like them.

 

That might be the best one
