What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

New Wheels! My truck was looking rather homely with the steel wheels and try as I might, I had to give in! I think the new wheels look fantastic and really make the truck!

Old vs new. I purchased the truck with steelies and tried to make them work, but new wheels just kept calling and calling.

 

Did this over the weekend and dayum they are bright...








Have all next week off, hope to do a drain/refill on the trans and coolant fluids.

 

Threw a new seat cover in where I drag my ass over the bolster... color is right and the material is better than I expected for $150. If I cared more I'd consider rocking the stream to tighten it up more... but the day's sunshine is helping.

 

Such an upgrade! It looks so much better.

 

Did you have to drill the holes for the install? I bought the kit from Vleds with the footwell lights and puddle lights together

 

**Update**

The Dasaita head unit has completely crapped out on me. I was emailing with tech back and fourth for a couple of days and did everything they said and they had no solution. I am having my audio cut off at random times. Seems to be happening when I key on/start the truck. I put in for the return.

I blew my budget out of the water and went ahead and picked up a Stinger unit (below) any one use these before?

Finally got a chance to break in the GFC. Absolutely love it. Compared to my RTT and rack, this was like being in a hotel. We were solo so I wish I was able to get some more pictures of some of the trails I went down. Really pushed the truck and it did excellent. One of the trails was through a large river crossing and then up some very steep rocky and muddy switchbacks. I ran into a group of Jeeps at the end who were all on 37s+ and heavily modified. They all looked at me like I was crazy. I was definitely nervous through a fair bit of it. My skids and sliders took an absolute beating. Ended up camping out near a stream.

 

I purchased the kit that replaces the OE puddle lights: no drilling - plug into OE wires in mirrors.

 

Clean!

 

I run the RAS with the sway bar. You can't tell the RAS is on there unless looking at it (about 1 to 1/1/2" height raise) or when the bed is loaded (no rear droop). The sway bar eally helps reduce body roll in turns.

 

Purchased an ESP storage box from @Jorgy1 and had time to install it this morning. Much better use of space!

 

heck yea. my name is ryan. and im addicted to LED lighting mods

 

Looks great man!

 

Front and rear axle fluids. Tomorrow is front and maybe rear rotors and pads.

 

My SR5 has got to have the wires run and holes drilled for the puddle lights but I'm ready

 

You won't be disappointed...

 

totally worth it. i did this DIY on a previous mazda, after my 86 300ZX had illuminated door handles.

 

Similar to mine haha.

 

It's not too bad. I did it on mine.

 

Installed my oil cooling solution to match my transmission cooler

Awesome, thank you! Been looking into something like this

 

In the interest of matching the upcoming hood paint project, I did the mirrors first. I sanded off the texture and added a black base, then proceeded with a light coat of candy blue pearl, blue ribbon in a new paint scheme, then 2k clear over everything. In the shade the black looks black, in the sun the blue pearl really pops.
Install in a couple days after they cure.

 

How much sqft of installation did you need for the whole rig? Doors, floors, back, and roof? Sorry being so late to this post. SO much to read!

 

Thanks! Your truck is my inspiration!

 

80+36+12=128 total.
Plus 8 rolls of the 1/4” dynaliners.
