What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Well I just got the oil, coolant, grease, etc. done and ready to roll across country (well almost). Drove over 1300 miles from Arizona and in a resort in Northern Arkansas then head to Missouri to meet with family. Then it will be back to Arizona with a stop at a resort in Colorado.

Once back home I will get on the 37” tires…

 

Ditched the oem cleats on the bedrails for some t slot nuts, and some tie down anchor hooks. So much better.

 

Amazon goodies?

 

yea

Looks good! Get some ptfe lube for that uniball. I shoot mine a few times a month depending on usage.

 

Thanks....I'm in on these.

 

That looks about perfect...thanks again!

 

Awesome. I friggin hate the oem cleats. This is better IMO.

 

Looks amazing

 

How long have you been waiting to tell the world you lube your uniball a few times a month.

 

Perfect! I wasn’t sure where mine would sit, so I’m happy to see this. Thanks for sharing.

I just got wheels in +40 and am looking at 285s. Might go for fender flares too.

 

The whole thing is ready to be swallowed and muled across the boarder.

 

No more saggy butt. ICON RXT springs on option 3 and Fox shocks.

 

Drove it for a few hundred miles for a trip. Cruise Control randomly stopped working, giving me an error message. Took playing with it for about 5 min or so to get it working again.

Tail gate made noise but wouldn't lock or unlock via fob (using mechanical key worked), fob method worked a few hrs later when I tried it again.

32k miles. Light use. Kinda annoyed me to have both those things act up during my trip.

Oh well.

 

Is your grille sensor covered in bugs?

 

It might of been. Was the only thing I could think of. I sprayed down the truck before my return trip, but maybe I got one good splat. I didn't remember to check since it started working again later in the drive.

 

I got the tent mounted last night with a few minutes of help from the wife.

Using the Front Runner Quick Release brackets, really like em.

 

Nice wheel and tire setup! I love my Toyo Open Country AT3s…they have outperformed every other tires I’ve had in the past.

 

Had to install a new AC line since the bypass hoop decided to eat it. Wrapped the new line in rubber hose and re routed it. Gotta make sure the old lady has AC or I’m in trouble.

 

Put in the little

$30 LLKUANG Car ABS Central Water Cup Side Organizer Storage Box Container Holder Tray for Toyota Tundra 2014-2021

tray thing to the right of the cup holder (had to modify slightly for the Scosche charger)


Pulled my relocated bed rails and just put some d-ring anchors in a couple of the holes.


And pulled my VRS rack and listed it for sale.


Also added some bling to the sliders.

 

Week before last I pulled the trigger with RCI during their sale and bought the engine and tranny skids with the free “cat guards”, fuel tank skid and straps, diff skid, and LCA skids. Now the wait. In the meantime, RCI didn’t have rear shock skids, so I bought a set from another company. Very quick install, like 30 minutes for both, and that’s sayin’ sumpn’ because I’m slower than molasses on a snail’s back who’s hitchin’ a ride on a tortoise!

 

Did a thing without breaking a certain thing...

...and picked up several other things.

 

What size tire are you running there?

 

Gave in to the paranoia and ordered the tranny skid with cat guards from RCI a few weeks ago during their sale. Finally arrived yesterday and installed them tonight.

Even though I live in a low risk area I do travel quite a bit so at least I have a little peace of mind now.

 

295/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT3 on the factory TRD Pro wheels. I am lifted a little in the back - Coachbuilder +2 shackles and the RAS SD setup.

 

Cool. They look more chunky than the average 295-70.

 

Bought my first truck, 2014 SR5 DoubleCab last week with the intention of turning it into a camping truck. Today I put in Husky front floor mats, Weathertech bed/tailgate liner, a tailgate rock guard, and weatherstripping to seal around the tailgate. Also used some silicone sealant to seal up the corners of the bed where water can ingress.

 

Good looking truck! Welcome from Phoenix

 

Installed new trailer hitch today. The B&W tow and stow. Seems very heavy duty and really like it so far.

get to use it this weekend
