What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Not a big change but one that was needed.

I bought this console insert and it drove me crazy trying to get something from under it while driving.

I bought this one to replace it and problem solved. I do not use the coin holder which is removable.

Wrapped the silver and the chrome plus a black Trd knob.

 

Ordered the Eibach Pro Truck suspension, stage 2. Shipping confirmation this morning shows it will arrive Thursday!

 

Yeah I have the same setup and it works great. Good luck

 

The Wasatch front is awesome, I used to live in Layton.

 

I'm pretty sure there is a guy at the end of the assembly line that just hits the corners with a hammer and bends them all.

 

You missed some

 

Same here.

 

I prefer 2.8 to 2.5.

 

I took mine in for my last "free" service yesterday, and based on the couple of previous posts similar to this one, I had them change the rear diff fluid. They just looked at me funny and said I would have to pay for it since it was not a scheduled maintenance service item. I said I expected that.

BUT, then I got a call at work (they still had my truck) and they found metal of the plug just like this. They asked if I had experienced any issues or heard any unusual noises, and I told them I had not. They said they would pay for the rear diff service and that it was now entered into the system for my truck. They told me that if I EVER had a problem with the rear diff, it would be covered by Toyota. I HIGHLY recommend that you show that to your Toyota dealer to get it documented.

 

See my previous post. This is NOT normal.

 

I noticed that after I put it back together. We have a guy in my building that does wraps and he will wrap all the silver for me in a few weeks.

 

Loved how we corrected ourselves on “what have we done to our 2.5 Tundras today” Now that we officially have a 3.0 Tundra….hehe

 

Which pad with the red accent us that? Looks quality

 

That's awesome you're covered.

Mine definitely looked like material from the axle machining process, not rear end internals.

If I have shavings on the magnet next diff service, I'll start to worry.
Everything is smooth and quiet with Lucas in there right now.

 

That is exactly what I too had in mine at 28000 miles. I wasn't worried about, as the magnet was doing what it should be doing.

 

I didn't see exactly what mine looked like, but it was enough of a concern for the tech, the assistant service manager, and the service manager, for them to make a big deal of it. They said that this could generate a recall if enough cases were found. The problem is, at such low mileage, not many people are going to have the dealership check for it, and those who check themselves will be unlikely to report it to the dealership for documenting.

 

Very true. Good on them for taking it serious, you found yourself a good dealer!

 

Quick project while I'm extremely impatiently waiting on my shocks.

Molle panel for the back of the center console:



It's definitely not original thought. I couldn't find the post that inspired it, but that guy used a product from Grey Man Tactical. I used a product from Built Right Industries. Hardware was 12 M4 hex-head screws, some 3/4" standoffs, and washers. I painted the standoffs and visible washers black. The console back-end comes off by pulling mostly straight out, but a little angled up. Once it was off, I covered the face in painter's tape to have a surface to mark holes, centered it as best as possible (there's no flat surface, and no center markings on that panel), marked, and drilled. 12 points of contact make it plenty sturdy. There are plenty of molle accessories available on Amazon or eBay that will serve as drink holders, phone holders, etc. The dearth of options for storage in the back seat as they come from the factory is a little disappointing, but this should fix me up. Rather my passengers.

 

Had the wheels and tires put on.

 

Put my shorty Antenna back on. Carwash. And since the topper is gone had to re decal the boat on the truck. Sunny day in MT.....take it while we can!!! Winter is coming fast.

 

I miss living up there.

 

Excuse my ignorance, but what is its purpose?

 

Love it. What size?

 

295/70 18

 

Molle containers like

$18 Gogoku 3-Pack Combo Molle Pouch Water Bottle Pouch Holder Tactical Molle Pouches Compact Utility EDC Waist Bag Pack Black

this can strap onto it, and provide some additional storage for the back seat. There's a phone charger on the back of the console, but no place to stow a phone while it's charging (except maybe the floor), and that's why I put it there. I could have just screwed a little pocket onto the console, but if I ever want to change it up, this gives me the flexibility.

 

Tuffskinz. I’m not crazy about them. They want you to remove the backing and stick on the console. They also hold a lot of dirt. I just have mine laying there not stuck to anything.

 

I took delivery from Carvana today, 2020 SR5 4x4 with TRD Off-road package.Yay
