What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Finally got my wheels and tires on

17" Method Standards- 0 offset
285/70/17 Toyo MT Tires

Have a 2.5" level on the front but still had quite a bit of rubbing. Drilled new holes in the front plastic liner and moved it forward an inch and a half or so and now no rubbing. About 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of clearance. Very happy with how it turned out.

 

Looks great!!!

 

I installed recon big rig ice running lights today.

 

That looks great!

 

I’ve had the overlays for a few months now. Holding up well so far. Pretty happy with them

 

Glad to hear that. Thinking that's what I'll end up doing. Plasti Dip is alright for now but the small imperfections are gonna drive me nuts.

 

Starting her early!

 

Pulled the stock JBL entune amp and the JL Fix86 out and installed the

$295 Rockford Fosgate DSR1 8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/Integrated iDatalink Maestro Module

Rockford Fosgate DSR1. I did all the firmware updates prior to install and used the idatalink t-harness so it was truly plug and play with the factory harnesses. I reset the gains on both amplifiers, the JL RD amp has a clipping light and the JL HD amp I used a multi meter to set for proper voltage per the table JL has on their website. Also replaced the fix86 remote with a bass remote to the HD amp. I have not gone thru the tuning of the DSR1 yet because neither my S8+ phone or my Samsung tablet will connect to the unit, so I have to look more into that.

First impressions without tuning, just the flatened signal, is there is more volume range, the faint hiss I was having with the factory amp is all but gone. I have to turn the volume above 50 and pause the music to have any hiss now, where it was at 20 with the factory amp and fix86. I also have the amps set for low input now, where I had them set for high input before. At low input I am able to reach the recommended output voltage for the JL speaker ohm rating. I set all the gains while at 3/4 volume and used 50 hz and 1000hz sinwave tracks from the JL Fix disc. The system is much louder now while still very clear and clean. I played several songs to test the different acoustical ranges of the speakers while having the volume set between 45 and 50 and the bass knob set around 60%. I am much happier with the performance of my system now that the factory JBL amp is removed.

 

Installed LED lights inside and changed start up and display screens.

 

Back at ya

 

Lol so the darkknight look doesnt catch their eyes

 

Nope it's the pretty red calipers that took me 12 hrs to paint lol.

 

After 3 weeks off i backed into a pole at work today!!!!! luckily there are no dents and just slight yellow paint transfer but its still a little scratched.... anyone have any tips for cleaning it up/fixing it? i'm so angry and i think its the universe telling me i should still be on vacation

 

I did that too teddybrosavelt!!!

 

I feel your anger.

 

ugh..... thats brutal.

 

It's fixed now but that was a bad time in my life.

 

yah it certainly started my first day back on a shitty note! glad you got it all fixed tho

 

Salex console organizer, stubby antenna, factory Toyota plug for the hitch. Small but nice changes.

 

Changed out my Icon UCA dust caps with the black machines caps. I was amazed at how much debri was inside the uni ball.
Before


After I cleaned and vacuumed the debri from the uniball. Icon doesn’t recommend any grease or lube to prevent dirt from causing excessive wear.
All done! I replaced the original rubber gasket and installed the new dust cap.

 

Run a thin bead of clear silicone around the cap. That'll ensure that any debris you get in there is coming in from underneath.

 

Hmmmmm..... maybe the mysterious-ness does.... but not when it comes to spouses picking up on things.... Unless they are into mods like you are... then you're screwed

 

looking at the rust, do you think the cap is actually making it worst vs no cap/ open uniball ?

 

Another idea, is if there is room under the cap, you could cut out a small donut of some porous foam to fill the void. Like this stuff. https://www.ufpt.com/materials/foam/reticulated-polyurethane-foam.html

 

I talked to Icon about it. The dust cap does help keep dirt, sand and other debri off the uniball. That’s what will cause faster wear if left on the metal. I’ve had the UCA on for 51k miles already. So now I’m going to inspect my UCA dust covers every time I change my oil.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. The dust cap does have a rubber gasket that fit into a notched groove on the dust cap. I’ll check them again in 5k miles and see if any debri gets back inside.

 

Installed a 12voltsolutions remote start. It works really well.

 

Yes it is just the rear bumper. I've got all the yellow out but there are just some small scratches as the pole was cement and rough so i'm thinking some good polish might fix that.

 

WD-40 (spray oil) might help to get the transferred yellow paint off, and help to get dirt out of the scratches. Then use polishing compound to buff it and you should be able to get rid of most of the small scratches.
Good luck!

 

Tried to install the Utility-Track but fudged it up so bad. Anyone know why these bolts stripped? I have a Spray Bedliner and used the right bit but almost all but one got stripped.
