What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Super happy. I can hear the tones in my music I knew was there but wasn't getting.
I'm just on the stock JBL speakers/sub at this point...for now I don't feel the need to upgrade those yet now that I've got the amp doing what it should.

 

It amazed me how little visibility the driver has from the new body silverados. I pulled a buddy's boat out with his truck(chevy) and was discombobulated. The column shifter was nice though....

 

Why did they not put any under storage for the platty's and 1794.. doesn't make sense. I need this but sheesh that's pricey for some plastic

 

There is no under seat storage for any 2.5 gen Crewmax

 

Was it an option from the dealer? My coworkers 2020 most definitely has storage (SR5 TRD offroad)

 

No. He must have something aftermarket.

 

Interesting, I'll have to ask him, thought it just came with it, he's not big into modding ha. Sooo why would no crewmax have storage, not even 1 cubby is odd

 

Wondered the same thing after I installed my ESP since there is so much space for it. Definitely not a factory option - could have been dealer installed. ESP makes a nice lock box for them as well but its $$$$

 

They sure are proud of their products that's for sure. But they do look sweet!

 

They run decent sales every once in a while but the fit/finish looks factory - if you need the space, its worth it in my opinion.

 

Looks good and I want to get a leather wrapped wheel for my 2012 Tundra. I hate the wood-grain from the limited package.

 

Got rid of some of the terrible plastic Chrome in the interior looks so much better

 

Love mine too...!!! First aid kit, jumper cables, gun, gloves, rain jacket... oops did I say gun... lol

 

Anyone know the tie rod jam nut size? I need to loosen mine to adjust toe.

Also, cut my exhaust off haha

 

That's a secure place for it....Not!

 

Yeah just tossed that in there... gun safe in center console... not on my build page

 

Gotcha lol.

 

I know. I've been looking for a while and got lucky

 

Spent the past week on a stay-cation. Visiting family, some house chores and video games. Put some miles on the truck

 

Got bored at work

So I went to the local dealer and never realized they have their own body shop there, had it done in half a week. They even took my old cracked one to use for color matching. Last weekend I was able to get it on after taking a long while to extract about 7 broken bolts between the rear support and the lower tabs. I got replacement hardware at Home Cheapo and they had GM replacement body bolts. I didn't realize the M6 was M6.3 not M6.0, but worked good because a couple of the ones I drilled out weren't exactly centered so the larger diameter helped. I was surprised to find they also had the Toyota push pin retainer things, grabbed a few of those just for backups too.








Modified the harness I made for the AGM battery GM diode, filed the edges off the side of the mini fuse plug after realizing it was always loose was because it couldn't seat down all the way. Here's a before and after comparing it to a normal fuse.






Yesterday sprayed out the bed and installed a gap guard, will see how long it stays on for. Was using bricks to weight it down after installing.

 

No pics , but oil change and oil filter housing swap.

 

Gave her long overdue bath yesterday.

 

Slapped on my first sticker

 

That gap guard looks like a good idea. Which one did you get? I’m always getting stuff stuck between the tail gate and bed.

 

Hopefully it holds up and doesn't start to peel, time will tell. I believe it is this one:

$36 ESI ROK BLOCK Tailgate Gap Cover 4.25" width

https://www.amazon.com/BLOCK-Tailga...d=1662301036&sprefix=b00bpe4ap6,aps,75&sr=8-2

 

Will this prevent water from draining from the truck bed after rain or washing?

 

Possibly, the front drains are still there though. I actually haven't closed the tailgate yet, but I'd imagine it's not a perfect seal at the edges.

 

Had a power steering leak repaired It was a bad hose. I’ve been so busy lately I just took it to the dealer and let them do it. Four years and 60k this is the first repair I’ve had to make. Hoping it’s the only one for awhile, the truck is still new in my mind.

They tried to sell me the throttle body/fuel injector cleaning service due to mileage. I’ve always thought those things were kinda BS. A sales gimmick. What are your thoughts on it?
