What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Looks like a pallet of Amazon returns.

 

Be careful if you slide down to Baja; not sure if you saw the recent news or not...

(3) dudes were making their way through Baja doing a surfing run at various places and came up missing (failed to check-in to their next destination and all social media posts suddenly stopped).

Local PD started searching and found (3) bodies later identified as the dudes that were missing; arrests were made and they initially thought kidnapping turned homicides, but LE put out a statement later saying that the investigation determined it was a robbery and suspects were after 'truck parts'...

I know you've got a fair amount of experience down there, but be careful as (2) of these dudes were college athletes (rugby/lacrosse players or something like that) from out of the country (Australia I believe) and one dude was from SD (so he should be aware of the risks, etc. in that region)...

Anyhow, just a heads up in case you end up down in that area anytime soon and especially if it's just you and your girl

 

Yea our group knows them well. Terrible situation for sure.

 

There are some weeks where I feel like we get that many Amazon boxes! It is a chicken coop… some assembly required.

 

Looks good! I am so conflicted between blacking out my interior grill area of leaving it chrome and hoping I com across a white surround a bulge. I like the way yours looks a lot compared to what I have now.

 

Good Morning

Will do. I do 5K oil changes so I’ve got another 4700 to go.

 

Duck tape conducts electricity.

 

Because of the feathers????

 

Maybe it’s gorilla tape

 

Is gorilla tape conducktive?

 

My phone reminded me that about a year ago today I designed and 3D printed my own insert for the TRD Pro grill.

I went to checkout how it faired over the WI summer and winter... I'd say not bad. The ABS is holding up well to the conditions however, in hindsight, I should have used a double-sided adhesive or a rust proof fastener to attach it

 

Put it in my driveway

 

Looks like maybe a toolbox for the shop

EDIT: A chicken coup? Did not know you buy those, I have always seen them built. Post up pics after you get it in place please. Not sure if I want to be a chicken farmer up on the hill. A lot of snow at times

 

i had plans... but then my plans got rained out... and then we ordered new headlights for my wifes ride.. so now I have more plans...

damn rain

 

Well I started the Tundra in the garage and sat and listened to a few songs while I let it run and warm up

 

I have the ECO surround and hood bulge overlays

 

I was looking at those after seeing your post. I found painted somewhere and saved it... how do you like the ECOs?

 

One of the finest albums ever made, cheers to your taste in music

 

I’ll take it you didn’t die of carbon monoxide poisoning. Good deal!

 

I got my new tires, 285/60 R20 on this morning, as well as an alignment. Spacing my front bumper out 1/2" beforehand was the ticket. No rubbing. I'm clearing the cab mount by about 1/2" and the bumper liners by about 1/4" at full lock reverse

 

I like the overlays. They have been on for over 2 years. I do need to replace the VHB tape that hold then in place on one side of the surround piece. Otherwise they have been great, easy to install aswell.

 

Isn't it spelled "duct" tape. Which is foil backed.

Also "duct" usually goes along with low head room, and you need to "duck" so you don't smack you noggin's.

 

LMAO! Had the windows rolled up and the garage door open. Have to roll the windows up because the neighbors in my retirement community are not fond of my taste of music.

Thanks for your concern LOL

 

Finally added all my parts stickers for extra horsepower

 

More progress.

The ABS light On, Trailer brake error, and Pre-collision system malfunction error msgs. gone after steering angle sensor calibration. It looked like hundreds dollar issue with all that errors in the cluster but it was just a $30.65 for this service.

This also required the alignment again, but the alignment was performed last week and still under warranty. Didn't have to pay for it again.

Lesson learned: If you install a lift kit, ask for the steering angle sensor calibration before the alignment.

 

I'm not positive but I thought the steering angle calibration is part of the alignment procedure. @ryanwgregg might know.

 

Low Pressure Crew!

 

Tune is done! Thanks again @snivilous for making it happen. This round of mods included the 5" intake tube since we were maxing out the maf on the 4.5" tube, LS103mm throttle body and custom adapter plate, and finally the turbokits.com boost referenced fuel pressure regulator. We gained 2psi of boost which was more than I expected. Bringing the total psi to 10.3. Now time to get out and see it all works in the dirt.

 

Got a used set of Kings! 700 lb springs to accommodate the bumper and winch, ride adjustable and revalved like new. They’re amazing on the pavement but insane on the dirt. Hit some speed and already put them to the test. Grinning ear to ear.

 

Yes!!!
