What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Rear differential breather relocation.

 

I also ordered some nice neoprene seat covers. So they should be here in a little while.

 

Oh gotchya!!

 

That S&B is definitely the prettiest intake I’ve seen for our trucks.

 

I just don’t like the fact that the panels don’t just zip in, providing versatility.

 

You've looked in your engine bay, haven't you?????

 

I couldn’t get the S&B for California!

 

For all those who have installed either the S&B or Stillen intakes, I haven't seen yet (unless I've overlooked) any installed with a vertical on-board air compressor mount (like SDHQ makes) and air compressor behind them. Is that because there's no room behind the S&B/Stillen intakes for a mount and compressor (i.e. these are bigger than the factory air boxes)? Or again, I may have overlooked, because I'm old like that

 

I have the dual arb vertical mount from SDHQ, but am not running the stillen or s&b intake. Based on those two pictures I don’t think there is enough room due to the larger intake box. I’m running the Magnuson airbox which has a slightly bigger lid than my oem lid and the compressor barely fits. I can’t image it working with the other intakes, but I could be wrong. Here’s how close mine sits to the airbox.

 

Didn’t like the chrome bolts on my tyger fender flares. Removed them and replaced with black hardware and installed PPF on the paint. Then cerakoted the flares






now to convince the wife that I need bigger tires…..

 

Tell her that the tires are too sunk in from the edge of the flares.

 

Yes, I have it too, was thinking about a Stillen or S&B box, but I agree, doesn’t look like a lot of room for both. My box is close to the compressor as well, even after I did the remote coupler.

 

Relocate behind the driver's side taillight

 

We have been married for 27 years….she knows my tactics!!! Hahahaha

 

Not enough gold on these intakes…

 

Aaaaannnnnd I changed my oil and filter element.

 

Not laughing at or judging you. I was curious cause I’m on Long Island and thinking of switching over to 5w30 my next oil change.

 

Installed pop and lock for the tailgate. No pictures, nothing to see that's exciting.

And cleaned hard water spots from the windows. Using chemical guys heavy duty water spot remover. It worked decent, had to apply it twice and scrap it with a razor. Bought the truck with hard water already.. no fun.

It's so much better now though.

 

Installed the Morimoto 3rd brake light and if I had realized how big a PITA it was going to be I would have saved that $200

 

Not enough room

 

Yeah.... I really want it for the look and function but im not willing to put in that much work.

End result looks awesome

 

Thanks Rick!

 

Still thinking about doing that one… not 100% sure it will fit the BDP housing though.

 

If you try it, it doesn't work. Just bring it with you the next time your in town with some time to kill. We will do another Holden driveway mod session

 

Nice! This is on my list, and the parts are sitting on my bench in the garage. Thanks for sharing some motivation!

 

Found a couple great deals on "Offer Up" and decided to upgrade my suspension and wheels. I installed everything last weekend, goal was to go the opposite direction from the previous street-ish look to this. IMO a proper 4x4 set up now. She should be pretty capable and dirt worthy now. This is my first mod that I've done to the truck since i picked it up in January (bought it used).

 

That's a hell of an upgrade for the suspension!

 

Yaa maybe a bit overkill but I just couldn't pass up the deal I made, and I couldn't be happier with the way the truck rides and drives now. I previously owned a 2006 Tundra double cab and installed the Fox factory series coil overs-non resevoir and wow what a difference in ride quality. These Elite series Fox's are the Jam! We will be hitting the dirt at the end of this month on a camping trip so I'll have to report back with how she feels out on the trails.

 

All good,

5w30 does just fine in this climate. Even in the bitter cold (…that we get in the region). I don’t think you will have any issues on the Island. And from my basic research it seems that Pennzoil Platinum is on the lighter side of a 5w30…take that with a grain of salt obviously. I have also used Mobil 1EP with the same results.

I haven’t noticed any loss in MPG’s FYI, but the Toyota “tick” is definitely quieter. I have never owned a Toyota truck (3-3.4’s L and 2-4.0’s L) that didn’t have that tick.

 

Ahhh ... yep I could see the benefit to that functionality for sure
On its 1st trip for us it did what they said it would do though
