What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

yeah what he said!

 

It's from Formfit, based out of Canada. They offer a smooth version (which I assume can be painted) and the textured version. Installation takes some time and patience to do it right. The box came with the picture version they have linked on their site and a written version as well to help explain what's going on w/the pics.

Deflector looks BA! Coulda been made by Bushwacker, matches.

 

That's what she said.. lol

 

Hot damn our trucks look good all cleaned up!!

 

Noticed you have a ‘16. Is this doable on the ‘15s? Did you do the swap yourself?

 

Yeah man for sure! Did it myself, took like 4-5ish hours. Aside from adding a 3rd cross member it was pretty much plug-n-play. Link below is a great write up of the swap done on a 2nd gen O7’. So your 15’ should be no issue

I cut a $1200 check for taxes and registration on my Tundra today, so fun stuff will need to wait while my bank account recovers. Already looking at coil overs, exhaust and a sound system though...

 

Sound system is next on my list. Prolly buy a JL system over time. Got to spread out the mods so my wallet doesn’t cry every time I pick it up!!

 

Could you possibly do a write up on your install? And was that $1,250 for just the tank? Did it come with all the parts needed to complete the install?

 

Finally got around to order and put on some UCA and so long to the stock arms! I was on a long debate between the Camburg Kinetik Billets and Total Chaos ones only because of the suspension setup I am trying to put together down the road. Ended up with Total Chaos UCA and also bed stiffeners and I'm glad I did.

 

You’re the first person I’ve seen using Techstream on a Mac.
Any issues with install or use?
Also, what was your source for the software/cable?
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

 

Sick lookin truck!

Hey Kris I actually went off of this write up https://www.tundras.com/threads/07-14-38-gallon-tank-swap-install-thread.27144/

The write up above gives a complete list of all the parts you potentially could need and definitely worth the read. Off his recommended parts list, here is the parts I needed (I added the prices that I got, from Cool Springs Toyota). I have seen this tank range in price from 830-1200, so, super worth it to shop around.

PART #: 770010C120 38 Gal fuel tank ($830)
PART #: 776010C110 Fuel Tank Strap (front one) ($41)
PART #: 7765334050 Fuel Tank Assembly Pin ($9)
PART #: 90119-A0249 Bolt, W/Washer ($1.50)
PART #: 510380C040 Member Sub-Assy, Fuel Tank Support ($165)
(Plus 100-something for shipping)

I opted for the $250 metal RCI skid vs the $450 plastic OEM skid... that’s on order and should be here next week!

The parts he recommends but that I was able to re-use were; Retainer, gasket, back 2 straps, bolts and pins (from back 2 straps), and the fuel sender unit. These might be worth having and returning if you don’t need them? So all in for me was around 1500.
(Feel free to PM if you wanted to know anything specific about the swap)

 

Nope, just sound, I have it, you have the newer model box!

 

What!?!?! Ok, how you do?

 

I’m happy with ththe S&B. It definitely does dress up the engine bay! It does sound better. I’m looking at custom exhaust right now to pair with the Cold air intake and my long tube headers.

 

Noice!

 

I used rustoleum peelable paint. It worked well and had some gloss which I liked over the plastidip matte finish. I did try to cut away the parts inside the emblem to expose the steering wheel but it screwed the emblem up and I have to re do it.

I taped around it and covered the interior with plastic and paper and sprayed away. When I re do it. I'll take pics

 

How many threads are showing on your kings? Both drivers side and passenger. It looks killer just curious for my setup.

 

12 threads showing on both sides. 2 CB shims on driverside and 1 on passenger side

 

Got a load of firewood today! First one this year and the first in my Tundra. Still have at least five more to go.

 

Had the BMC done. I think the welds could be cleaned up a bit, but no more rubbin. Ordered Pro grill, black door handles, drivers side assist handle from Roman and TSS relocation kit from ARES.

Received my 24mm crows foot adapter from Snap-On so I don’t have to use the good-n-tite method on the Camburg UCA’s.

 

Finallyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! @pelfreybilt

 

Is it still a pretty soft ride with that many threads showing?

 

Awesome, how much and bolt or weld on? Tia

 

No more white windshield cowl. 1st pic is to show difference of start, last difference to end.

This pic shows difference stopping in middle.



Dis a quick run on tires, didn't have chance to buff, kids got home.


Wax addict is great stuff. Next time I'll be buying biggest container possible, don't care if 55 gal drum, this sh*t is awesome.

 

It's the only thing I've found that does a decent job on the hood cowl. It hold up well over a month too. I just recently re applied some more, but it wasn't nearly as whited out as it was before I used waxaddict.

 

Sliders were delivered yesterday - today was install day.
