What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Posted pics for a bunch of parts on craigslist, then came here to see if I could post on buy sell trade. Sadly this is only my 33rd post. If you are in or near Apex NC, search the raleigh craigslist if you need anything or want to give me feedback on my prices (idk if they are too high, etc.)
Oh, I also finally put her in my profile pic here, so thats cool.

 

FFS. Looks like something bit through it… what’s the fix here?

That blue wire comes out from the factory fog light harness.

 

I’m over in Greensboro, I’ll take a look and see if anything interests me.

 

Splice, heartstrings, and a roll of that anti-rodwnt tape. I don't remember the name of it but the Honda dealers sell it I believe. Most likely Amazon as well.

 

I looked up your post. IMO everything looks good pricewise. The TPMS sensors will be different since yours is a 2021, but the wheels themselves will fit all 07-21's. GLWS.

 

Unpin it, rewire solder, wrap and continue on

 

That looks like abrasion damage from the internal metal bumper end cap brackets…

 

Honda Capsaicin Infused Tape…aka Rodent tape…

Having the critters thinking…

 

Genius.

 

Jeebus. $46/roll?

 

Yeah, the ergonomics of that spot seem like it would be comfortable to operate.

Nice! I did notice the print looked to be the correct depth for the switch snaps to catch good and hold.

How did the blank look in the original switch spot?

 

Cheaper than a harness replacement.

 

I’m thinking it would be cheaper to bear spray my engine bay…

 

Until they chew a hole next to the tape and you’re still replacing/repairing a harness anyway.

 

I like the position because without looking I can open or close the rear window with my thumb! Exactly what I was looking for besides driving down the road with my head under the steering wheel looking for the switch.

I popped one and and it fits just fine. I am going to spray the other one with the clear matt and replace the one I have in that spot now. Just a little too sheen for me but the matt brings it where it should be. I will get a snap shot of it later today. Thanks again!!

 

Yeah, it is a bit glossy, glad the matte spray gets it to where you like it.

 

That was my fear with moving and I heard there are pack rats in the area up there on my property (almost my property). The neighbor lives in Alaska and we were chatting the other day and they told us about pack rats getting in. They come to their summer home for heat and only for a few weeks a year. They said one time they came home and there was berries and shit all over the house. They said the rats were very good on hiding everything. They thought they had everything cleaned up and found berries in their pillow cases on the bed. Thankfully I will be living there full time and have a huge shop to park my shit in

 

Bull Ring Raised Fit Retractable Truck Bed Tie Down Anchors installed. 1) Cut holes by hole saw. 2) Expand space by cutting, plastic is soft. 3) Drop BullRIng in the hole. That's it.

 

Tell me about that shitty aftermarket battery for your Ryobi. How's it perform and what did it cost?

 

That's what I was thinking too, lol. Started the truck this morning, then went to brush some snow off and saw that one of the squadrons were out....

 

Rear diff fluid changed this morning. 50k mile fluid changes completed finally.

 

I'm going to be doing all the fluid changes here soon. 100K club. Side note/question: How do you like that floor jack? Been eyeing it for a couple months now just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

 

can you elaborate on why you would not recommend them? Pre-mature failure and no warranty? Crappy ride? just curious.

 

I love it compared to my old 3 ton. It’s low enough to fit under my buddies lowered 66 mustang yet lifts high enough to get my lifted tundra 295s and CJ on 37s off the ground without a block. Just make sure you get the long reach, low profile and wait for a sale or coupon.

 

Any know a part number of this hose? I’m struggling to find it in a diagram. It’s leaking coolant and I want to replace it.

 

Bypass hose 16261-0S030 or 16261-38020

 

I have the Super Duty version of that jack. It is good for its price point but it is not my older Napa All American. The valve control on the HF jack is lacking and you will likely go down way faster than you wanted at times. My 23 year old Napa will let me move it as slow or as fast as I want. And I can depend on controlling that speed.

 

Looks like a leak.

 

Possibly going to score a set of TRD sway bars for $150 on Sunday. I am going to want to replace the hardware (rear hardware is missing anyway). Is it better to go to a good hardware store and buy what I need or look for OEM Toyota hardware?
Also planning on painting them Calvary blue since I do not like red.

 

Well I have no pictures (my bad, I was taking pics of my switch install while James was here) but I had James from HardWired Toys come over and replace my JBL crap with a new Sony Amp and an under seat sub from Alpine. I was in the house when he turned it on and when I walked out I could not believe that was my truck.

I am not an audiophile and have tinnitus like crazy but I like to be able to hear all of the music and not only some of it and the JBL blocked out a lot. It is like night a day even keeping the factory JBL speakers.

Thanks James!!
