What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I bought them directly from VLED using the code TOYOTA10 to knock 10% off. As far as headlight revolution, I hadn't even looked at those but just did. I do like that those claim no resistor but I also question how effective and reliable they are. I'd have to do some research to see. They're also 750 lumen vs 1400 lumen of the ones I got so that's something to think about too.

 

I have there reverse bulbs and they are very bright.

 

Is this a different tire size then you are currently running? I think they would be worth trying if its a new size but I don't believe you will get more than 10-15k miles out of them.

 

New size, I'm on stock 275/65/18 right now.

 

Then I'd say give it a shot.

 

Finally installed RAS HD on Sunday. What a nice compliment to my Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 suspension!

 

How much lift did you get? Did you install the HD version?

 

So you are running the Eibach's in the rear with this as well?

 

cant hurt if they are free

 

The Eibach Pro truck 2.0 is assembled front coil overs and shocks for the rear. They are threaded, not clips, adjustable from 0-2.75 inch. I set them at 2 inch lift, leveled the truck. But I hate rear sag and do tow/haul so added RAS in the rear. RAS increase rear height by an inch, which looks perfect with the 2 inches up front.

 

How is the ride quality with this setup?

 

Did you get bad bed bounce? If so, did the RAS help?

 

It is the short one with sunroof controls, but it does not say anything about a conversation mirror. None of them stipulate that, so the only way to know is to order one and take a look at it.

 

It is good, very well matched to the lifted coilover up front. I am also running TRD rear sway bar. I ran a few weeks with the new suspension without TAS, but with the RSB, ride and stability improved with RAS.

 

I really didnt have an issue with bed bounce before. The TRD OR shocks and rear swar bar I was running before was a pretty good setup.

 

3d printed a mount for my boefeng and stuck a mag-mount antenna on the roof. Much better range than using the little antenna it comes with.

 

I put some Amber Rigid plastic protector things on the Bifmobiles fog lights. Think they look kind of cool, heard amber is better in fog, and anything I can do to protect the lights is probably a good thing. Oh, they were also cheap.

 

what are your thoughts on the 5k HO 6LED bulbs?

Been debating on those and the V6 $140 reverse bulbs.

wondering if the V6’s are worth the extra $50, and they aren’t as clean of an install.

 

Looks good!!!

 

Few more pics since it's clean... At least for the next 24 hrs

 

I know you aren't asking me but figured I'd mention the reverse bulbs I've been thrilled with. They are the 1000 lumen GTR bulbs from Headlight Revolution. Mine are GTR's first gen (9 led) the newer ones are 15 led and rated at 1,200 lumens. I've had them for over a year, no issues whatsoever and insanely bright.

 

Is it worth it to you, is the real question. A 3 year warranty is good, and if you can stand a $140 bulb ($150+ after tax and shipping) only lasting you that long, it's probably worth it. Light output is twice what mine is, which is great. $5000k color temp will allow you to see more with the light on hand, which is great. Other than the risk of losing the money after 3 years, there isn't much drawback.

I paid $100 for the ones I have, and I'd likely have paid the $140 for the v6's if I'd had the choice at the time.

Reverse lights being brighter, at least to a point, is better. Lots of folks adding lumens to their brake lights and turn signals though; and I'm not a fan of that. It's not somehow safer to have more light than is necessary to alert other drivers; and as far as I'm concerned after you print shadows on the retinas of the old guy behind you, it's less safe. But I guess you didn't ask me that...

 

I have the Stage 1.

 

Muthco has the amber signal mirrors....about $200.00

 

I have the Stage 1 which is really bright as well. Use code New15 and you will get 15% off.

 

Are they just a standard lens with amber turn Or do they have wide angle mirrors with amber turns?

I have suma performance with the amber turn signals on my Tacoma and really like the wide angle lens. *Wide angle Convex*


Edit: I just looked they don’t. I thought they only had red which is why I didn’t look them up. Nice to see they DO have amber.

these would be nice. I do see in the notes turn signal versions are in development. That would cover all the things I’m looking for.

Vinyl wrap on hood to accent Inferno color and reduce glare

 

it's been a while

Two years on the dot, the battery in my 2020 took a shit. Much needed / wanted upgrade finally accomplished.

 

Did not do much to it this week…. Just a couple low key mods
