What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I’m not a huge fan of the look of the window visors but they do make a huge difference allowing heat to escape while parked so I opted for function over form now that it’s getting hot.

I've just been driving it a lot.

 

Me, too. Just hit 25000.

 

I did that a few weeks ago, didn't get a pic, I was on a 500 mile round trip long weekend

 

I feel ya. I dont really like the look or the extra wind noise....but I have a black truck, so they are a must and really do help a ton.

 

For the child inside us all...

 

Nailed it

Do you have the actual link for that boot, not just Amazon?

 

Let me see if I can find where I ordered it from exactly.

 

Much appreciated.

 

Just updated my modification compilation slideshow to include the most recent mods.

Ok here's the link. Totally not Amazon lol This did take awhile to show up as it came from oversees. Took probably 3-4 weeks I think (long enough for me to forget I ordered it and remember where I ordered from). The install was straight forward.

I removed the trim piece then placed the boot over the shift gate and installed the trim piece over. The tension is what keeps it in place. I did pull a little more material through so it wouldn't keep the shifter from its range of motion. Any black leather boot with a wide base would work just fine but this does match the grain on the TRD knob and the leather does seem very good quality.

I can send more pics of how it looks to do it if needed.

 

Haha, this made my day.

 

Wow! I've never seen this before. Apparently I ran something significant over. Through the tire and wheel!



Toyota dealer wants at $1100 for 1 tire and rim

Considering

Fuel -D556 Coupler wheels

Toyo open country a/t III 355350 (lt295/60R20)

Leveling

$4500 installed

What y'all think?

 

If it were me, I'd first check ebay and craigslist for a rim.

 

The road -

 

For some reason, I saw that hole in the wheel and immediately thought of this...

 

Spark plugs changed! Procrastinated somewhat as bought them last August but redeemed myself a bit by worshing out the throttle body and MAF sensor while I was at it At a touch over 198k (km) they came out fine, definitely due but not completely thrashed yet.

 

Yea, it's too damn hot to be changing tires. Thank goodness for roadside assistance that came with the truck.

 

You got me thinking... I went on Craigslist and found a tire and rim in like new condition near my house for $300. Bingo! Thanks!!

I think I will wear the treads on these tires before I spend the cash on the other stuff.

 

Right after I posted that I had thought that you might even find one with a decent tire. I’d run a a mismatched brand tire if I were in a situation like you are with a busted tire and rim. I wouldn’t really like it, but eventually you’ll get all matched up again.

Glad you found a good deal!

 

WOW. Did you feel it when it happened?

 

go for it.

 

Supercharger tuning session about wrapped up. Holy crap this thing moves for a big rig on dirty sevens!

 

Barely. I heard the very loud pop and thought that what I felt was the pop. It was during a lane change in traffic so I never saw what it was. I thought it was just a tire blowout until I saw the inside of the rim. Scared me pretty good...

 

Found a cheap fix for now. I'm about to drop $4k into my house to battle the heat so I'm going to wear out the tread on the existing tires then I will start with the mods

 

JB weld and shoe goo?

 

thats a photo.. damn
