What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Added the rear sway bar. Less than 2 hours including clean up.


With help from a case of Diet Pepsi.


Very noticeable ride difference especially in cornering.

 

Looks great!! What bumper is that??

 

@Rerun and I decided to tackle the FRAC install today. He started his yesterday so we just needed to finish his and do mine. Got it done in half a day and even had time to install my grille emblem and add my tvd decals to my radio. Morning well spent. Thanks @Rerun for your help!

 

Curious how the windshield tint is at night? Was looking at doing something to the front, whole window or the “eyebrow” version.

 

Upgraded the tailgate

 

It’s noticeable, but not bad…

my wife who is anti-tint (her 4Runner isn’t tinted) drove at sunset & into the evening…

she said described it as ‘not annoying’

in her words… “you can’t really tell there’s tint other than the glare being eliminated”

 

Ever thought about flipping the bracket for your ditch lights for the more low profile look?

 

I didn't know you could flip them, but at this point I'm use to them. I don't mind them a little higher up

 

Happier driving

 

Tyger.

very pleased with the quality and mounting took less than a couple of hours.
Steel is as thick as my CBI and C4 stuff.
Coating is high quality as well.

 

So, the Cryo-REM allowed me to alleviate some of the break in time but I’m still taking it easy.
I did take a scoot around tonight and WOW!

I can’t wait to really get into it, but the 5.29s and Powertrax are cherry.

Feels so planted and man it giddy ups!

WooHoo!!

 

What tailgate seal did you use? That looks like it fills the gap better than what I’ve found searching so far.

 

I agree w/ @CoachJ . I've got 20% on front 2 and 50% on the windshield. I drive quite a bit at night and I love it, just takes some of the glare off.

 

Kudos to y'all making the brave plunge to tint your front windshields. I wish I could. But alas, I commute on a road that is traveled frequently by dump trucks, and even though I put plenty of distance between me and the ones in front of me, it's the ones coming at me that cause me to have to get my windshield replaced about once a year, so I'd be at the tint shop the same amount.

 

What did I do today, well, I broke my stupid fender liner things again, I did the always on fog light mod, and I adjustedy fogs so hopefully people stop flipping me off.

 

Don't think any percentage of window tint is legal up here in communist Canada I've never seen it up here.

 

You might be able to find a glass shop that can tint your replacement beforehand or at least during the install.

 

Definitely a difference, but IMO it’s a good thing. The glare is cut down and driving through 110° in the sun didn’t feel brutal even though it was directly on the windshield.

 

The the tint I did isn’t legal here in California.

Worth the risk… and peer feedback is that trucks are usually left alone.

 

Are the FT fog lights mod similar for the 21s?

 

Some time back I noticed that the wind noise is down when I remove my Leer cap for dirty/oversized hauling. The thought was the cabin-cap gap creates a tunnel for parasitic air flow towards the roof, where air masses moving at highway speeds create a very low static pressure. That sucks air from the frame area. Maybe, maybe not But the noise is here as soon as I put the cap back.

Two days ago I installed +1" shackles, that somewhat recovered the stock Tundra's rake. Immediately it became apparent the wind noise is gone.

Still thinking on aerodynamics and where that noise was really coming from, but here's the observation: slight rake equals to quieter truck on highway.

 

Mines technically illegal here too, but I don't get bothered

 

I would assume but I can't be for sure

 

Installed a Corsa exhaust today. I had a redneck special magna flow installed and it droned a lot and was very annoying. The Corsa is quiet and no more drone. Corsa sounds great when you get on it.

 

I know mine is not legal anywhere. 5% on all windows and 50% on windshield.

 

Washed it (yesterday). Damn it sucks cleaning bugs off.

 

So far, the Auxbeam 8 gang switch panel is really promising.

Build quality definitely feels solid, switches has a nice click feeling to it, backlight is real nice!

 

What size tires you running?

 

those were 305/55

running 35x12.5 now

Went from +1 offset to zero.
So now they stick out a little more.
