What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Finally got a few hours break from the deep cold so I was just able to install my B&W hideaway hitch. This hitch is a work of art. Only thing is, I bought a lockable hitch pin and it might get hard to hook my trailer chains on now. lol

 

SEM Trim black is an option.

 

Nice choice! I have the same one. I also picked up a couple extra pins and clips from B&W. I was worried that someone might think they need them more than I do and I didn't want to be stuck without them when needed. I keep the spares in the glove box just in case. They can't steal the receiver, but can take your pins/clips if they really wanted to.

 

Is there a thread describing where/how to screen? My truck lives outside.

 

There is...I would have to find it.

 

Video from another thread. I haven't watched the video so not sure how good it is.

Edit: Here is another link with pictures..Suggestion to prevent rodent damage | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

There are a few threads. Pretty easy really, under the windshield/hood cowling on pass side there is a port about 2" tall and 8" wide. I screened mine with two layers of 1/4" hardware cloth and some self drilling sheet metal screws with washers. Engine compartment I put a few bars of pink Dove soap in a couple of spots, a couple pine sol soaked pieces of fabric in a couple others, and peppermint oil soaked fabric too. Then about 8 chlorine pool tabs on the driveway under the truck and perimeter just cuz it can't hurt and may help. Don't really have big rodent problems here, but don't want to start either. Good luck!

 

As contractor I have always extra pins and clips, these are the finest though.

 

Does it screw on perfectly? That's again

 

After watching this guy struggle to get the wiper arms off, I have found a trick to do this easily. After marking the blade position and removing the nut, lift the wiper arm off the glass and give the arm a bump downward (toward windshield) with the base of your hand or the side of your fist. A firm bump near the joint where the arm bends between the joint and the mounting bolt will usually easily break the friction bond between the arm and the mounting post. Then you can the just lift the arm off.

 

Nice. Thank you sir.

 

yes

 

Make it in yet! I'm curious about the depth..

I want to know more about this...

 

^ me too

 

GoRhino running boards and got the 5th wheel OE ordered online and got the last tire to match the stock wheel and tires. Happy Monday ya'll!

 

Waiting for the rest of the parts so i can start dechroming,debadging,color matching,and rebadging

 

Looking back at my Amazon orders:
$60

$75 KILMAT 80 mil 36 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

Kilmat
$15

$10 NORSMIC Car Sound Deadening Roller (2PCS, Width: 1.69in & 0.24in), Extremely Smooth Sound Insulation Roller Metal, Noise Deadening Car Sound Insulation Tool

Rollers

There's no odor with the Kilmat. The results were well worth the effort. I only did the floor of my supercab, and I used up the 36 sq ft package. You will need more to do the back wall and doors. Wear gloves and cut with a sharp utility knife on a scrap of wood. Use a scratch awl to probe for bolt holes. There are good how-to youtube videos. Show us pictures when you're done.

 

Where’s everyone getting their TRD pro grills and headlights?

 

Me Too!!!!

 

Rad Rubber front liners
Total Chaos bed stiffeners/trimmed bed mat
Replaced 10mm rusty wheel well bolts w/ Amazon specials
And missed the 90k birthday party by a scoshe.

 

Nice did you check to see if you get water in the bed?

 

Which GORhino running boards are these. They seem to have a nice gap between the body of the truck and the step? How far do these stick out? Thanks.

 

Painted my chrome grill surround. Not an exact match but close enough to make me happy. I'll do the front and rear bumpers whenever I can get enough time and warm weather.

 

I use OEM part source, a lot of people use Sparks, or OEM dealer that will free ship to a dealer close to you if applicable. Really just put the part number in google and price check, continue to shipping with each company and see what is cheapest. Some parts might be more expensive and have cheaper shipping and some parts might be less expensive and higher shipping.

 

That looks great to me! how did you do it?

 

White plastidip and the plasti glossifier, it looks better than i thought it would.

 

That is Tina the Turd; C. diff green to my colorblind eyes, and w a poorly tuned carb, runs rich and always smells.

1976 Fj40; 3rd owner; bought from a former ski/river guide about 1.5 years ago; paid a pittance for what the market is for them since he was happy the vehicle was going to another Cruiser head. OME suspension; 33s, full cage; Celica seats. Replaced the ignition w a DUI unit and replaced the clutch cylinders and she is a daily.


Was on the search for an FJ40 for years; my old man had a 67 after he got back from Vietnam and that was the one vehicle he said he never should have sold.


It'll be a teaching vehicle for my kids to learn the basics on and cut their teeth, so to speak.

 

So did you take the center of the grill off or just tape it off?
