What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

20x9 +20ET

 

Oh man, I really want one of those. My Truxedo's rear gate seal is going and I haven't been able to source a replacement, and it's funneling ice/snow down the inside-bed side of my tailgate, not ideal. Been looking hard at them. Found a deal for $1000 for the X4S, I take it that's the one you have?

 

Yes it is. I paid 1139 so that’s a good deal

 

Handles look great!

Just washed it...put 1000 miles on it yesterday across MT/ND/MN. Wad dirty...

 

Thanks

Thanks again. Such a small thing but it makes a difference

 

Fox acoustics subwoofer box, with 2x Alpine type S 10” subwoofers. Ended up being louder than I wanted/expected, but I can always just turn the volume down. Fits like a glove in the DC

Klearz “smoked” 3rd brake light cover with some LED lights. Rounds out nicely with the tail lights.


Mounted my ESR wireless charger to the RAGO dash mount. I wanted something that would mount a wireless charger and maximize the MagSafe function of the new iPhones. I bought a ESR case with the ESR charger from Amazon. I figured if it wasn’t strong enough charger/magnet, I could always just return it. For it to have this magnetic strength, you will have to use an ESR case with it. I haven’t taken it off-road yet, but on road (so far), This is hands down the absolute best way to mount a wireless charger for iPhone users.

 

Changed the engine oil and filter. I wish I had time and clear weather to give it a good bath, however I'll take what I can get and be happy with the oil change.

 

I took a picture of it the other day because the weather was nice and it looked good.

 

Dang… those would have been awesome on that truck. I would have snatched those up myself. I too am a sucker for old school May wheels like that!

 

New shoes!

 

I was going to install the Aries side steps I purchased, but once I got them out of the package, I was really disappointed with how cheaply made they were and how they looked.

Hopefully I can return them and get something that both looks better and is of better quality. Any suggestions?

Cheers

 

Added some sauce

 

I think you were referring to my post about busting the tab/clip.

I would agree with your suggestion in general, but I live in Southern California and it was, unusually warm recently and we hit 80 F on Christmas Day!

I am going with the old plastic theory…

 

I'm 99% sure this is the first thing Im doing when I make my final payment, and she's free and clear.

 

Once my truck hit free and clear I thought I’d do the same, but I think I am going to buy a sports car to fill that itch. ~8-10k is a big chunk

 

The only time in life that whining is a joyous thing.

 

I don’t think they removed anything since it comes from Yota that way.

 

It's a dealer installed remote entry.

 

More for @purplenova and anyone looking to tackle such jobs.

I don't need to hear about your 80˚ weather while it's been close to 0˚ here. haha

 

Original windshield wipers were starting to streak on my 2020 Tundra and replaced them with OEM wipers. Took advantage of free shipping and discounts currently on https://parts.toyota.com/. Part numbers for OEM windshield wipers:
852120C030 RH Wiper Blade
852220C030 LH Wiper Blade

Photos below show the original and new wipers.

 

What discounts and how did you get free shipping if the total was under $75

 

Selecting Fred Hass Toyota World as the dealer got them for ~$21 per wiper compared to the $30 from my local dealer. Added in a new engine and cabin air filter was able to get the minimum for free shipping.

 

Yeah I see that same dealer has the Sequoia HLs for $300 off

 

I added some traction boards and some additional diesel storage for the heater. I should be able to get about 5ish super cold full nights out of the heater now without having to get diesel.

 

How has that worked for you?

 

I’ve always replaced wipers with Bosch or something equal to when the OEM ones are toast. I’ve read several posts though where people said anything but OEM wipers were garbage. Weird.

 

Took advantage of 60 degree weather in NH at the end of December and washed it. Road salt sucks!
