What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nice work. Are you planning to produce more for sale?

 

Ha. Nooo lol its a coastal offroad kit.

 

Silly me. Kit looks nice. Keep up the pictures. i'll be interested in the end result, and how much time it takes.

 

Its a good quality kit. So far its taken about a week. Thats a couple hours each day after work , and two full days this weekend.

 

Washed it for the first time Pro Grill and Headlights installed and I'm happy to report the TSS sensor that is mounted in an AJT mount stopped giving errors after the grill install. I may try mounting the TSS lower and further out to hopefully tame some of the quirkiness of the cruise control.

 

Took the trailer from our home campground this weekend and actually backed into my spot first try! Its been a learning curve but I'm finally getting comfortable backing that thang up.

 

Just dropped the truck off for installation of bilstein 6112/5160 plus coachbuilder +2 shackle. Looking forward to picking it up later today! Pics to follow!

 

Dirty deeds 8” with stock TRD black chrome tip Here’s a cold start for you

Been doing everything I can to get all the chrome off. Went with the painted front grille and emblems, then wrapped the front bumper. Went with the Spyder black headlights and then the color matched mirror caps.

This was the first day I got her.
Then after the headlights, blackout and bumper wrap
And this is how she looks today with the mirror caps
Only thing left on the exterior now is the wheels and tires............

 

What'd you wrap the front caps with?! Well done!

 

I like engo . I had one on my old yukon. Wouldve bought another this time but they didnt have a non integrated solenoid version.

 

I used a local shop in Alabaster who wrapped them for me. I can do some things but some stuff I leave to the pro's.

 

What's the consensus for 9-10" floating screens? one has a few hard buttons and a volume knob. both tilt up/down. both require maestro etc.

$1,500 Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX 10.1" Capacitive HD Screen, Floating Display – Wireless & Wired Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Amazon Alexa Built-in, Bluetooth, FLAC, Backup Camera, HD Radio

Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX or Kenwood DMX1057XR

 

Couple of updates from this weekend on my 2014 1794.
Changed out chrome endcaps and grey/silver centerpiece for white caps and black center. Also added some TRD Pro smoked chrome headlights.

what campground is this?

 

The photo is Merry Meadows campground in MD. They have cheap on site storage and will tow your RV to your site for you if you're staying there, which is super convenient when the wife and daughter want to go without me.

 

I couldn't find a true consensus, so ended up going with the Kenwood 1037. I like the bigger buttons and volume knob. Sounds like both are top notch so it comes down to personal preference (or even availability, I waited 3-4 months for the Kenwood to be available).

 

Storms were forecasted for 4 hours today and we only got 1/2 hour max of light rain. I’m sure if I didn’t cover it, we would have had major storms. Oh well, better safe than sorry. I’m working 100 miles away from home and tomorrow is our 25th anniversary, so maybe I’ll use that as an excuse to come home and uncover it, and surprise my wife too.

 

Just purchased the Amp Power Steps from Tonneau Covered. Pretty excited for them to arrive and plan to install them myself.

Not a picture of my truck below. Just to liven up the thread!

 

Drove it around getting parts and supplies, then did a service on my wife's Forester and installed a Fumoto valve in her car. Gotta hit the rest of our fleet in the coming weeks...

 

Just got the call today that my ARE topper is finally in Getting it put on Thursday along with my prinsu to go on top of it, pics to follow!

 

what voltmeter is that with the temperature display? That’s different

 

I got the 7600. It’s just a little smaller - I think it fits better. Its a big upgrade over stock.

 

Got the grey whale paid off 3.5 yrs early!

 

It's this one:

$10 DROK Digital DC Voltage 10-170 Degree Fahrenheit Temperature Monitor Car Motorcycle Battery Voltmeter Thermometer 12V 24V Temp Volt Tester Multimeter

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SXZDKTW?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I haven't double checked the voltage with a multi-meter, but I saw a few reviews saying they did and it was close. The temperature seems to read wacky though, like way hotter than what it seems to feel like, not sure if I trust it for that.

 

Nice.

It's not laggy or anything? That's the one complaint I hear of in the pioneer.

 

@rdiddy5


I’ve not had any issues. I’m only using CarPlay. I added a front camera that I activate with steering wheel controls. With the maestro you also get some gauges. I set these up on steering wheel controls also. Everything seems to run smoothly with no lag. That said, it’s not flawless. But 95% of the time it’s great. From what I’ve read, both CarPlay and AA have their issues.

I originally wanted the Kenwood or JVC but I think I prefer the slightly smaller screen. I’ve got it pushed back pretty good. It doesn’t exactly look stock but it’s pretty good I think. I’ve got no regrets at all.

 

Thanks. I might go this route like you. the 9" screen seems to be slightly more appropriate scale inside vs the 10" options.

 

Finally finished relocating my power steering cooler to make way for my winch. That was a bitch.

 

As promised, and also posted in the 6112/5160 thread, got the suspension installed at 1.9”, but the shop wasn’t able to get the coachbuilder shackles in as of yet.
