What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Yes it does. After mine gets lifted and wheels added may have to put those side steps on again. Had them on my 4runner Pro and loved them. I chose to go with the other Tyger steps. But first things first. Getting it higher.

 

Leveled the truck last week. Put 5100s all around and coachbuilder shims in the front for 2” lift in the front. Decided to try out the Maxxis Razr ATs and love them so far. Went with 285/65/20 and they barely rubbed on the skid plate so I trimmed it and was good to go. Really happy with how it turned out.

 

You going to paint all those silver bolts?

 

lol, thinking about it. I know Method makes a kit to cover the bolts with a different color but looks like it’s either out of stock or hasn’t been released yet. Only around $33/wheel so that’s an option I’m considering. Otherwise simply painting them would be a fairly easy alternative.

 

nice. Painted has my vote! Congrats on the new rims.

Just finished installing 5100s on the rear with TC shackles.




OEM shackle bolts were seized up the butt. Took a hammer to it and it finally budged.




and also… picked these bad boys up! ProComp 41 Series Phaser 18x9. Can’t wait to mount them!



By the way, does anyone grease their top shackle bushings? Was debating whether or not moly grease was good for it…

 

Bolts seized on a 21 already?

 

traded it in for a 2019 MGM crewmax.

let the mod party start all over again.

 

Emerson really low profile tires yo

 

Yep. Definitely gonna have to do some trimming to make the AJT rings fit with the overlays on.
On the upside, it seems to fit pretty well everywhere else except for a little bit of the silver exposed where the trim meets the glove box on the passenger side. Per someone else’s recommendation (I don’t remember who suggested it) I’ve got some matte black vinyl wrap that I’m going to put on the exposed silver area.

 

Played around with the front emblem. Not having the svg measurements isn't helping lol.

 

Train horns alot of fun

 

Still better than chrome!

 

Yep. I'm just trying to get the sizing right so that I am able to..... This is a matte Cardinal Red. It matches closer to the Barcelona than the Gloss red I think. I'll try the gloss after I get the sizing right.

 

I had bought the sold decal before Toyota said no more. I went from being on the fence about the grille to loving it! Keep at it! I'm sure many members would appreciate the file if you are willing to share.
I know some just put the dark tint over the whole thing, but there is something to be said about the color matched logo.

 

Yes I have seen the pictures of yours. The tint makes it look too washed out, especially from a distance.

 

I think I follow what you’re saying. I’ll see which way will work best.
Thanks for sharing your idea. Gave me something to think about.

 

If I don’t zoom, it looks great.

that’s gotta count for something



It does look good though.

 

Youre welcome!

 

installed my coachbuilder steering kit yesterday, got my rcv axles installed today and got it all aligned. Stoked!

 

Use Silicone grease for rubber or poly bushings.

 

I just cut one a little bigger and will try it tomorrow.....getting closer.

 

Man that is one ugly front end.

 

Lol....do I sense a little BD S8 jealousy?

 

I have the same Cat Security as you and I really like it, although my truck is a 2nd gen.

What is the reason for painting the catalytic converters?

 

Lol just poking fun @ 10k post of how fugly 22 front end is...

Honestly dig the red emblem looks good.

 

Yep...I have definitely mentioned that ugly truck from time to time .

 

DIY - TRD Dual Exhaust. She purrs.

 

Thanks! They are the SDHQ brand. No issues with them at all.
