What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

super jelly!!

I'm weighing the options.... is it worth having a pissed off wifey

 

Finally replaced my steering rack bushings last weekend. Night/day difference but an enormous Pain in the A$$.

 

Not to mention the jump from regular to premium fuel.

 

Also - new alternator, gates belt, rear durobumps, Coachbuilder +3 shackles to replace my helper bags, and SPC UCA's. All lined up and back in the green.

 

I've come this far in 5 months since I bought the truck lol. Figured why not lol

 

What triggered the need to replace the bushings?

Did you follow a guide for replacement?

 

I'm on 37's - steering rack was visually moving way more than it should and would pop as if it was shifting on hard turning. There is a thread on replacing them without completely removing the rack with very good info - it's just tedious and minimal room to work. Every bolt and hard line is just in the right place to make it very difficult but not impossible.

 

Yes

 

What happens under 5 psi, say like 2?

 

That’s the recommended minimum from the manufacturer. Under that, you could damage the bag. If it’s too deflated, you’re basically driving with no bump stops.

 

how do you like the PRO suspension compared to your stock suspension?

 

For me, it was well worth the investment. Now it may be over-exaggerated because I had 75,000 miles on my factory Limited shocks, and they were on their last legs, but I think it’s a BIG difference both on and off-road. Barely feel washboard, or even bigger, bumps, on the forestry roads I drive, and with the steering kit, the steering wheel hardly moves during suspension travel (haven’t gotten too aggressive with it…yet ). I like the fact that the TRD Fox shocks were specifically built and tuned for the Tundra, and you can send them to Fox to have them rebuilt.

 

Thanks, not sure if you saw my post but I just bought Pro wheels/tires/fox suspension for $1700 and was debating reselling or installing on my limited. I’m leaning towards installing all the PRO parts & keeping the TRD off-road parts as spares.

 

Oh yeah…the DEAL OF THE YEAR!! YES! Put them bad boys on that Limited! You could probably get decent coin for those OR shocks (though admittedly not as much as the Pro Fox shocks).

 

Been a couple weeks now but did finally get the Phoenix headunit preordered from Black Friday.



next up - change out silver console trim and steering trim to black

 

Ok I need more info on this unit and how do you like it lol

 

This is the new 13” unit.

Love it so far!

Have a few small things that I need to reach out about but great so far and about half the price of other horizontal units available.

 

Do you have a link?

 

Congrats on the Lexus! Very nice!!

 

Replaced my reverse lights with VLEDS- much brighter!


I need to adjust the bulbs to fine tune the light pattern. Anyone have any tips?

 

Looks good - typically only one way for those to fit in the housings. Also, at least with my VLED reverse "bulbs" the bulb is petty uniform/symmetrical. So even if you could adjust the way it fits in the housing, youre probably going to get the same pattern due to the fact you're placing an LED in a halogen housing. If you need a more focused light pattern, there are the high dollar Baja Design, Cali Raised, Rigid, etc spot or flood lights you could tuck under your bumper, or find some cheapos on Amazon that will likely achieve the same thing for about $20.

 

Just installed plug and play Sony from Trail Grid Pro... couldn't be happier install in 30 minutes

 

Which bulbs did you get?

 

2007-2021 Toyota Tundra Adjustable Spotter Mirror

In stock!

Ordered

 

Believe it or not, I'm getting 16mpg hand calculated on regular basis with the supercharger, that's with 35s and normal driving, not just cruising at 45mph on country road.

 

Interested to hear your thoughts on these once you receive and install them. I would like more visibility when towing our boat but don't have the room to install towing mirrors so this could be a nice trade off.

 

17 here...but I drive like an old man. 60mph on hwy.

my hypothesis is - we get the benefits of the intercooler & small amount of boost from spinning blower when in bypass.

 

I was about to say the exact same thing for the exact same reason. Very interested in your thoughts after you receive and install them.

 

I will update when I get them installed.

 

I think during bypass we also run slightly leaner than stock, you oughta try 5.29s and lockers, just clocked another day 5.3s for 0-100kmh , which is about 4.9s for 0-60mph, if follow magazine stands and omit 0.2s roll out, that's solid mid 4s

I like, I'm not a fan of tow mirrors, this is nice when towing camper.
