What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Damn you and your damn logic!

 

Finally the lift has begun! Will work on the rear 1.5” inch lift shackles and Coachbuilder bushings tomorrow. Got a serious Cali Bro lean for the night. Still working on what I’m going to do for rear shocks and saving up the money. Will be skipping leg day for a while though. Still a fair amount of tread left on tires and other mod priorities first (rear shocks, winch, skid plate). This took longer than I thought today and I’m beat!

 

Only half day? There are people on here that have been driving a rental longer than their own truck waiting for replacement cats

 

16 months, 31k here

 

Thank you sir! I got them from Mr Wheel Deal. Had great experiences with them in the past, had them ceramic coat the wheels also.

That was one of the things my wife let me do before moving in, definitely harder than I thought it would be but absolutely worth it

 

They made it easy to resist. Literally every one of those out of stock lol

 

Rago dash plate w/RAM mounts.
Rago ditch light Brackets.
Meso chrome delete kit and vent rings.
Start-x remote start.

ETA: I also removed two dealer installed aftermarket GPS tracking systems.

 

Wtf? Dealer installed aftermarket tracking? And two of them?

 

Yup, one in the kick panel and one behind the dash, different brands. That's why I have the ground for the remote start right there, no need for extra holes. They are installed by subcontractors at the dealership and they try to roll them into the price when you buy the vehicle. They don't remove them if you don't purchase them. Once upon a time I was one of the subcontractors. The very first thing I did when I got my truck home was search for anything aftermarket and get it pulled out.

 

Nice upgrade from one of our members, @602runner …key advantages over stock cleats, as well as looking much better…discount code in video for my viewers

I recently bought a 12k winch and a cradle that goes in the trailer hitch. I can use it on the Tundra or on my flatbed trailer. I ran the 2 gauge cable today. I drilled and tapped a #10 screw to hold the plug in place and packed the connector with fluid film.

 

Installed Toytec bumper shim....making room for bigger tires and different wheels.

 

You mind sharing what winch you got?

 

That's insane that the dealer would spend money installing two GPS tracking, hoping they will be able to sell them. That makes no sense and sketch as hell that they can track people through those

 

Well, with a 38-gallon tank, and the prices I just saw in California, it would be $228...

 

30k on the truck today and got 4 of these for free!

 

Got the same head unit. I really like it!

 

Moved it 20ft. in the driveway to let the snow melt off. Winter almost over, excited to take the Tundra on MTB trips soon!

 

Mostly a pain in the ass Tacoma roof rack mounting day, but the Tundra did get washed.

 

You guys are so dangerous for my wallet......but i love it.

 

Did you get the 5k or 6k?

 

I like the look. Is that where the airbag deploys from though? Wouldn't want someone to get hit with those if the bags do go off.

Edit: Just did some research, the airbag comes out from the top of the dash, so no problem there .

I went with 5k reverse

 

what tire rack/mount is that?

 

It's the Ironton from northern tool. There was a flash sale plus a $20 off coupon in mail brought the price to $279. The cradle came from harbor freight.
