What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'm probably close to 2,000 miles with it and still enjoying it. I'm not overly concerned with the CEL I got today but I do need to invest in that SGIII you got. I'm getting ready to do my trans drain n fill n I know that will come in handy.

 

Shiny TuRD. Otherwise known as Smoked Mesquite. The most intelligent color.

 

Thought I was in trouble for a minute -



Then I remembered I filled out the info for my 100k mile sticker.

 

Painfully silly, I realize that, but my faded out TUNDRA tailgate lettering has been bothering me for a while now. Instead of prying them off and reshooting them I just painted them by hand. Ahhhh, much better…

 

I just swapped mine out (21 non-flex fuel) with the green one. The stock one I removed was also green, so I think you’re good… other than possibly buying from Amazon. Lots of fake parts on there. Rockauto or a local dealer is a safer bet.

 

Rotated my tires today. No need for a photo. It still looks the same. I got rained out for my other mod. (Sway bar links) Maybe tomorrow.

 

Attempted (and failed) to relocate my front reservoirs so back to the drawing board with that one. Did knock out a quick one though in anticipation of the holiday season

 

Installed the OVS cap. Love it so far. Very good design and fit was perfect.

 

Well I just did something real stupid...

Attempted to change my PCV valve and when going down to install the new one it fell out of the socket and down into the depths of the abyss

So now I've got a loose brand new PCV valve living under the manifold. Ugh, that's gonna bother me.

 

Can you hook up a shop vac to a smaller diameter hose and then get it down there to retrieve it?

 

It's too tight to get in there. I can't even see it from looking down overhead so I don't know exactly where it landed.

 

As long as it’s not in the engine then I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

Looks damn good on there too.

 

Don't feel too bad, I have a real nice snap on stubby ratchet living in my engine bay somewhere.
It makes me feel like but also

 

Yeah, I'm not too worried about it. It's just gonna be chillin under the manifold for many years to come or until I have to remove the manifold for whatever reason. Sucks though because I just got that piece yesterday. Cheap part but still, kinda sucks.

 

Let @reywcms drive it....he will bounce it out.

 

Haha, I bet that would work.

I need to flip my truck upside down and shake it out.

Btw, waiting for my SGIII to arrive any hour now.

 

I love the SG3. That pic is how I am when I am waiting for deliveries lol.

 

Happy to help find tools and loose hardware or weak points lol

 

Yes and yes!!!

 

Got called a derelict and abandoned because I parked on the street for a couple days while I work on getting money up for the next part of the trip. Guy almost shat himself when I came out the camper yelling and cussing like a belligerent asshole.
Edit: went for a walk and made note of every derelict car, a 30 foot TT, and a massive pile (like 3 foot high) pile of dog shit and will report, this "rules for thee but not for me" and this being singled out shit isn't going to fly.

 

I dropped mine (both old and new) a few times. I used one of those magnets on a flex (has a small claw also) to fish it out. Easy peasy.

Something like this:

I was thinking of something like that. Problem is though I can't even see it anymore. It went deep in and around a corner

I've got another one coming today though

 

That’s frustrating for sure! Glad it’s not an expensive part.

 

Hope his supervisors don't see thi

Hope his Supervisors don't see this....

 

Yeah man, I'd remove his last name.

 

It’s the little things that make a difference. Lamin-X fogs.

 

Just installed my new SGIII.
Gonna go for a lil drive.

 

Left a few 10mm sockets and a 10mm open wrench in my last tundra---- Somewhere
