What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

If I remember correctly there are a couple spots on the sway bar installation that could benefit from a little synthetic grease. I think the trd rear sway bar when you purchase it even came with a little tube. Hit those bushing up lightly. If it's not that and you have the trd skid plate it could definitely be that too.

 

That's dope.

Our rate is so freaking low we may never try to pay it off early.
Currently its been better for us to buy stock (SPY mainly) and sell covered calls every week.

 

Custom Fit Interior Cup Holder Inserts for Toyota Tundra 2014-2019

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HT1GCGV?ie=UTF8

this is one of the cheap options... I actually only use the charging tray "pad" as I use these inserts everywhere else
(the tufskinz tray pad is much thicker and doesnt work)

and are 10 times nicer

 

Awesome. Thanks for the tip. Ad @mgm16trdpro said, you may wanna check the pro skid, if you have one. Mine was clunking until I used some nylon washers between the mounts.

 

I just paid mine off too. Only had the note a couple of weeks but at 8% I was not going to keep paying on that. Mortgage will have to go quite a few months with just the minimum...

Getting the truck and trailer loaded up for the Miami trip. Thinking maybe I'll air up the 295's a lot (55/65 instead of 38/38? will see how it handles). Maybe the weight of the bed and trailer will keep if from being too bouncy, and hopefully eke out an extra MPG

 

Got Toyo R/T Trails 285/75/17’s a few days ago. Wheels are 701’s at 0 offset.

 

Massive accomplishment. You should be very proud! Well done sir!

 

My rates were low on the house and the truck (2.5%), but I hate owning anyone anything. House has been paid off for a couple years. Wifes Subaru was financed at 0%, so we ran that one to term and was paid off in 2022.

 

Well I just got the replacement bolted up and did a test drive. For now, the Helmholtz is NOT going back on.

Family member traded in his '21 1794 so I bought items he had on it at different points for the massive family discount ha. TRD Pro wheels with 5K E-load ATs, TRD Off-Road wheels with 5k P-metrics and a Corsa cat-back system. Swapped everything in about 3 hours. This is my first set of black wheels so it is taking me a little while to get used to them. If I can't I'll slap the originals back on. If I like them long-term, I may swap the badges over to black. Not interested in swapping to body color bumpers and all of that jazz. I'm loving the way the Corsa sounds! Throaty with no drone which is what Corsa is known for obvs. He had the red TRD center caps and the gold TOYOTA center caps from the Heritage Edition Land Cruiser. The red TRD caps clashed with Inferno Orange soon I slapped the much more subtle LC caps on.

 

Installed my front sumo springs this AM. I am going to do the rears once my new U bolts arrive from sparks.

 

thanks going to give it a try.

 

Those look great! Def get the black badges.

 

reach out to keith @dirtydeeds

 

It's all good. I'm going to try without the resonator for a bit. Not his fault in the least. I ordered a new exhaust gasket and may try some aluminum foil wrapped around the pipes (under the clamp) to tighten it all up.

 

Installed the TRD sway bar today, you can definitely feel the difference. Can't wait to tow the trailer and see what it feels like.

 

In continuing the electrical draw issue I’ve confirmed the alternator is good and nothing from the engine bay fuse block is causing the issue. I have a feeling it’s the shotty wiring done by the previous owner for the frac harness to the factory head unit. I’ll continue this search next week while the wifes out of town. Probably add the new headlights also.

Moved the spare further back in the bed and added another hook. If we go camping then I’ll just push it back towards the cab. But for the majority of the time it’ll live here to keep that weight as far towards the rear as possible.

 

ok updated OVS 270LTE pictures

 

Messed around with this trying to get my controls working again:

After having the dash apart I only had cold and only on the windshield. I messed around with it all I had time and patience for. It moved the gears so I know it was lined up, but now nothing. Now I've only got heat and only on the windshield. I decided that'll have to do for now, but I need to get it sorted at some point. Another thing since I got my dash back together is the control screen only comes on after about a minute. I wish I never touched it.

 

Decided to pick up a little something for putting it to work

 

Job well done. I am about to do the same install.

 

I like it. Do they make it without the bullbar? Super stealthy.

 

Yes they do. Check out their site and the options you can customize it to.

Got my mirror “reverse” lights working again off the switch - replaced the power lead I had coming off my new distribution connector. There is no longer a single T-Tap connector anywhere in my entire truck with all of the add-on stuff that I have done. And I’m going to keep it that way moving forward.


Revised the wiring on the Rago dash charger port to use a JST 2-pin connector for future access/disconnect.


Put 0.020” (twenty thousandths) brass shim under the left screw of the Rago top plate to even out the gap to the dash along the back edge.


And ordered the connector pair I need to make a break-out harness to hijack the rear reverse light power and run it through a SPDP relay to also work with the mirror reverse light manual switch.

 

well now I need to rewire my Rago mount with a connector lol thanks

 

Right? I'll do it when I install my FRAC.

 

I ordered mine over a month ago and was told its still on back order, still waiting.

 

Mine was backordered almost a year!
