What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure as I had no reference point.

I measured my truck from centre of wheel to fender on all four corners and...well...interesting results.


I'm on pretty flat ground, but my driveway is still crushed stone with a slight incline. But just shy of a half inch difference left to right both front and rear with opposing sides being higher? I'll try measuring it on the four post lift when I can.

 

Nice! What brand is that bumper? I could fit 35x12.5 with that bumper.

 

Gave her a bath and painted the tow hooks red. Love the way they pop against the black now.

 

+15 grip

 

Doesn't look too bad for the miles. The half inch difference side to side is pretty typical of tundras. You would definitely notice a slight lift from new stock suspension for sure but your not that far off.

 

Good to know. There are nearly 300k km's on this truck and it looked like the original shocks on the rear. So far I've only done 5100s on the rear. Planning on doing 6112s on the front later this year. Just might need them to mount the new rubber. We'll find out in a few weeks. Planning on absolute minimum lift with 285/75R18s.

 

Did you mount your fridge slide using rivnuts or just standard bolts and nuts? The issue that I am trying to figure out before I order the slide is the mounting location....I have 2 swingcases installed. I don't know if mounting it in the center of the bed towards the front would work or not as far as sliding it back. I could set the fridge in the bed and see how far back I would have to go for the swing cases to clear. Also from what I cat tell, the fridge sits just below the bed cap when its on the slide?

 

I used the bolts that came with the Slide from ICECO. yes about 1" below the retrax bed cover

 

installed:

1) carabc
2) interior chrome delete
3) LED dome map
4) Driver grab handle
5) new antenna gasket thing

 

Thanks. I'll do some measurements and pics tomorrow on where it would sit with the swing cases. I'll have the Badland ORJ mount going in soon as well.

 

I will be curious on what you find out. My swing cases open and hit eachother, so I cannot fix anything in the bed, or at least I havent found a way.

 

You may want to check out Roadactive suspension, you can dial them in and get it level and give your leafs a boost.

 

You can but not necessary.

Cant steal the adjustable part when locked to the hitch. They could steal pins I guess.

Used it to drive Troop trailer to campground tonight and glad I had it. Ended up having to flip the hitch to a rise position on the trailer. My other trailer is usually in a drop 2” setup.

Was real easy to switch setup and adjust as needed. Highly recommend!

 

Roadmaster? Yes, it's on my list. Should help out a lot too, especially when I get a trailer at some point.

 

Got a bleak blinkers recall letter, found a TSB, repinned connector myself. Easy job, took maybe 10 minutes for the first one and 3 for the other side. The blinkers are 30-50% brighter now.

foggy morning this week

 

Took her out for some speed runs to test the Badland jack mount. Thing didn’t budge! Got some pretty shots at the same time.

 

Cleaned up some wiring and put plastic wiring loom over it. Installed waterproof connections on light bar and fogs then put in a light bar switch that fits the dash. Had to put new edging on a fender flare. The original disappeared in a mesquite thicket. Had enough to cover all four but that’s have to job, as in “Don’t do until you have to”

 

My mount will be here Wednesday. I started putting the jack together. That thing is a beast.

 

Awesome. I’ve used it twice already. Lifting the truck is no longer a chore. Worth every penny. Don’t forget to bleed it!

 

Will do. Yeah using the Craftman with steel wheels, noisy as hell, and having to add blocks just for the height was rediculous. Now I'll actually be able to have a usable jack in the truck. I got mine for $240 out the door.

 

You prefer it over a hilift?

 

Agreed. 25% killer coupon!

 

Yep. Coworker gave it to me. With mounting that and a fridge slide, I'm thinking about doing it with rivnuts. Easy removal for bed cleaning or if I need the hauling space. I was just looking at the kits on Amazon.

 

That’s exactly what I did. Rivnuts.

 

Nice. Any specific kit that you would recommend?

 

I bought this, as I never had a Rivnut kit. This is super easy to use, small enough to use in the engine bay and the fender wells. I’ve never had a problem with it. Comes with a bunch of rivnuts too, don’t forget to order the SS bolts too.

Tomorrow is 2 years since I got the truck, also marks the end of Toyota Care so I had the 20k service done. Rolled in the shop with 14,936 miles

also had them install the metal oil filter housing.

 

Better use crossnuts.
