What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

brrrrrrrrrr

 

Put these on the daughters truck today.

 

Yeah it was about 25 degrees but the dog loves it. Not quite sure what he was doing here:

 

Finally got my Amp research steps put on today. Install went fairly decent and it wasn't really that hard. Except for hitting my fingers and running the wires the wrong way on the passenger side. Thanks to this forum and the folks who have done it before me I was able to do it.

 

What grit sandpaper did you use on your gauge cluster?

 

There are entire threads about the proper way to wipe that piece of plastic.

Mine needs to be cleaned before my oil change. I'm always afraid the dealer is gonna wipe it down.

I'm gonna have to search some.

 

I do it everytime.

 

Damn...I hit 14k on my 2020 today and got mine in Sept 2020.

I went on a guided trail ride with ridgeback trail guides of vermont ,in nh near the vermont border. We had a great time. The trails were a bit tight for the tundra in some places ,but i made it through everthing. Here is a link to my youtube video if anyone is interested.trail ride in my 2017 tundra trd off road - YouTube

 

Is there a laminex-esque product that could "screen protect" while making the striations disappear? In-lieu of only wiping down regularly...

 

“Screen protech”

 

lol no clue just saw that when you mentioned it.. sedona dust, maybe anza borrego or stoddard wells...

 

FUN

 

Rolled over 19,000 miles today in my '21. Also added some Firestone bags and Daystar cradles. Anyone have any tips for easy cleaning all this mud off underneath so I can apply my annual Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector?

Just now noticed in this pic that I might have the dreaded rear axle seepage.

 

Yes. I'd have to hunt for the post. I was debating putting one on myself.

 

Installed 3/4 of my lift. Got called away for work. Everything installed minus the driver side rear, looks kind of silly but hoping to get it finished up tomorrow morning. And aligned tomorrow

Parts like 83852-02680 (toyota.com)
In-lieu of wiping down regularly...

That part could be made a ton more durable for zero more dollars... Mine gets a swiffer and every once in a while a damp micro-fiber cloth, and I can already see it headed toward scratchyland.

I did find this, though:

Your link for the screen protector is not working

 

Screen protech. Installed it in my Tacoma and it hid all the scratches. I have a kit to Install in my Tundra, just waiting for warmer weather

 

There must be a Tundras.com block on that. Tried it a couple of different ways, but the asterisks for the site show up either way.

Might get a mod to weigh in before purchasing - - there might be a good reason why they'd want us to avoid that vendor.

 

Today I went hunting for some snow to play around in

 

Nice!
What brand wrap is that?
Sott Elemento?

 

Got my new wheels and tires mounted. I went with Cooper ATP II in 275/60r20, so +1" taller than stock. Wheels are my DIY nightshade edition. Got them powdercoated black myself and purchased OEM center caps and OEM black lugnuts.

 

Very nice.

 

Looks really good. How is the ride now with the Coopers?

 

Finished throwing the suspension on. Getting it aligned now. Then some trimming is in order

 

Only made the 10 mile drive home, including some highway speeds, and have noticed no difference. I opted to stay with SL rated tires so they’re the same weight and “firmness”, so I didn’t expect much of a difference.

 

Good to know. I am planning on going that size in the spring but with Michelins and staying with P rated too in order to preserve ride quality as well. Thanks.
