What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

The LineX shop did the work but yes they took off the front and rear bumper completely.

 

are those the AVS low profile vent shades?

 

yes I did but it had nothing to do with it. Toyota used a foam type seam sealer around the main cross braces that ABSORBED water like a sponge. The rust starts in the layers of steel between the bed floor and those braces.

It’s crazy and they knew about it because of the TSB out there for the 07-13’s.

funny thing is I was looking at my buddy’s 2018 and it’s still the same.

 

Reviews were mixed, but I really like it. There’s a dial to adjust the foam thickness. It was a great gift…just what I wanted.

 

I installed one on my 17 about a month ago. I do not get the light that you’re talking about. Might wanna call them and see if they can help.

 

Just make sure the fittings are tight and o-ring is in place at the hose connection. Mine didn’t leak and worked like a champ. Play with the setting to get the foam thickness you like. Setting too high drinks up all the soap fast though.

 

I just put one on mine and love it. Super easy install, took me about an hour. The hardest part was fishing the wire from the passenger side to the driver side, but that wasn’t even that hard.

 

That's how the 2018+ kits works the TPMS light will be on until you insert the key.

 

Can you buy the braces you removed or do you have to fab them?
I'm hoping having the underside of mine oiled every year helps prevent that. Good luck!

 

I need to fine tune mine, I don't get all the way around the truck before it's runs out of soap and I have to refill it.

 

I'm still working the small stuff on this new arrival. I only located one of the original TRD cup mats so I ordered two cheap ones from eBay, along with an organizing tray for the center console. I also added three red Husky bins for the range stuff in the bed.

Ordered an audio upgrade, and my weathertech stuff should arrive Sunday.

 

Got the new BFGoodrich Trail Terrain’s mounted yesterday. So far so good, minimal road noise increase over the previous Michelin Defender LTX. Love the look and grip so far.

 

Would you mind sharing a link?

 

Did you smoke out your Toyota emblem on the grill? It looks great.

 

think they all come bent

 

UPS guy just stopped by

 

If you guys are looking for a solid foam cannon, this one is extremely good:

I think you are the first person I have ever seen that has gone out and bought those tires. They were the ones that came stock on the early Gen 2 TRD off-road package. For me, they wore fast - I had barely 30k miles on them when they had to be replaced.

 

New version of Rugged Trail?

 

The Trail Terrain was just released a few months ago. You might be thinking of Rugged Trail T/A

 

Thanks. You can buy them from Toyota. I price them this morning and they’re about $500. I was able to save mine though with a little fabrication work and elbow grease.

 

Let my wife call me retarded while I cleaned my truck in the middle of winter with sub zero temps and snow on the ground. Lol

 

These just came out two months ago. 3PMSF-rated with a 60,000 mile warranty

 

I’ve charged my Jackery 500 and I’ve been packing my truck vault with various presents and other items I’ve purchased recently for fishing and truck camping. I’ve got a lot more I’ll load out when I go, but it’s a good start for now.

1. 5-gallon water jug
2. Storage boxes
3. Hulkman 85 jump starter
4. Cooking/eating supplies
5. Basic tools
6. Bungee cords & ratchet straps
7. Wipes
8. Change of clothes, hand towels, etc.
9. Slumberjack Roadhouse awning
10. First Aid Kit
11. Whisky flask
12. Misc. supplies

I also got a Rhino-rack Vortex roof rack coming! Very excited for my next fishing trip!

 

Shit - you're right.

Hopefully the Trail Terrain is better than the Rugged Trails...

 

Thanks. Yes. It’s Luxe LightWrap medium smoke… same stuff I used on the taillights and 3rd brake light, after upgrading the bulbs to VLEDS and GTR LEDs.

 

It may be good, but the one I have does not require a pressure washer. It works fine with just a regular garden hose.

 

I worked in TV and we had to have the trucks washed when we arrived for the shows. Forgot to WD the locks once

 

Yes they don’t mount on the door frame or inside the window but on the rubber trim. Has a sleek low profile. Matches the hood defector too.

 

Finally got around to putting some things on yesterday/today.
