What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I have been on a long search for something like this but for my 2019. Need a simple and decent looking front light bar without breaking the bank. These you show only go up to a '17 (kinda strange).
Found the Zroadz bar which is ok but only 3 to 4 inch lights fit and a bit steep at $400.
Appreciate your search and sharing. I'm hopeful to find a 2019 option out there somewhere...or I'm about to get a pipe bender and spray paint some conduit pipe black. I'm sure ot would come out "great".

 

Finally caught a used Cat shield and threw it on this morning.

(Uh...pic does not indicate finished installation...)

 

It only goes up to a 2017 because in 2018, Toyota started installing the TSS sensor behind the Toyota emblem in the center of the grille, which the bull bar would obstruct.

 

Was wondering if it might be something like that. Well, same outcome, close but gotta respect the TSS junk.

 

Sometimes it's a PITA, and a lot of people HATE "nannies", but I'll tell you, it's saved my tookis a time or twenty!! It's also a technological stimulant...nothing wakes you up faster than that thing yelling at you BRAKE!!!

 

I hear ya. I'm not really a hater on these systems when working correctly. And this one does so far.
But I am one of those that turns off all the lane assist steering when I get in a rental car. Don't mind so much it telling me about it, but I'll drive thank you very much.

 

Painted my grill surround with color-matched paint. Grill is bedliner. Also started the process of painting my interior trim black.

I bought all my color matched items / black interior pieces for my 21 cavalry blue. I’m doing a more budget friendly build this time around and I’m happy with my results so far!

 

Nicely done! I ended up vinyl wrapping in black on all of the silver interior trim. Ill post a pic later.

 

Damn you and your bench seat.

 

I liked it. At first a little nerve-racking watching it move a little but got used to it. I have the road active suspension on too. With the RAS my truck is about factory rake and the bike put me back to level. I will add lights to it, as there is little visibility with my taillights. I may have gained some "experience" loosening the ratchet straps by myself. I highly suggest the buddy system loading and unloading.

 

It’ll work on your 17-21’ (my dads truck is a 21')! Great price for what you’re getting!

 

Leaf spring Liners arrived today. Now waiting for some down time to install them in the Alcans.....should be an interesting project.

 

Started sanding bumper for paint.

 

Washed it knowing fully that it has camping and dirtbike duty this weekend.

 

Luck bastard. I want an Africa Twin so bad.

 

Yes ADV fiberglass
Wheels are 17” methods
Bfg ko2 37x12.5

 

Thanks for the tips and info!

 

Mine yelled at me the other day for no reason. Not a car or mailbox near me. I had just washed the truck earlier that day, and guessing water intrusion somehow. I think I need to load the connections with dialectic. Grill has been off a few times now and I haven't re-greased.

 

Nice. Keep us posted. I don't need to do it but I would like to know if you see benefits.

 

I'm hoping it cures the rear end creaking. Trying to get the separation between the leafs to get them in should be the fun part.

 

Pull the keeper bolts then use a jack to lift the frame up enough for spring sag and use a small flat bar to get in between each leaf. Maybe another jack under the axle to manipulate sag as you need it.

Have you looked at your leaf rivets to see if they clear the leaf directly below it? If not, and that leaf is rubbing the head of the rivet, that could be a good source for noise.

 

Last bit of parts arrived today shooting to install this weekend. Thanks to @snivilous for the awesome throttle body adapter to run an RCF throttle body on the whipple. The interior transition is smooth! Had to mock up the intake just to see. This thing is massive lol

 

Daaaaaamn! That's a throat!!

 

Ordered the tailgate pop n lock for the truck today. It will be home waiting for me when I get back tomorrow. Been playing up in SD the last two weeks in a Rav4. Those things are not to bad and get great gas mileage, but I am ready to be back in my truck tomorrow.

 

love the air mount locations. Saving that for future reference! Well done.

Daaaammnnn! Keep us updated!

 

There's not too many out there.
