What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I don’t have the smart key. So for me it was flip fob or AJT.

 

She’s sitting a little low in the back - 1/2 CY of 5/8 minus in there

 

Who did you go with and how is it so far? I had tried a stubby antenna which had great reviews, but the local stations were staticky. Ended up putting stock back on and was perfect again.

 

Finally got rid of the faux wood pieces inside my Limited. Looks way better IMO. The 3 overlays were bought on Amazon from company called High Flying Store. Perfect fit and color matched to other black OEM pieces.

 

Looks like you got a quick turnaround on your tow mirror!

 

Ended up just finding a random one on Amazon that I liked the look of. Haven't noticed any decrease in radio reception compared to the stock one, luckily .

 

Washed the ladies

 

VLEDS cargo lights installed today. Here is a comparison

 

Installed some proper skids.

 

Got the arb mounted and wired. Needs some fine tuning to button it up. Also need to install these jerrycans.

 

Saturday mods, Round 1. I am about as far from an audio nerd as you can get but trust @james@tech12volts over the years and all I can say is wow. I could hear the voices in each song much clearer, I know that sounds like horseshit and I am not even sure I know exactly how to describe "better", but its better.

Broke in the 5.29 gears today.

Took a 40ish mile drive one way to my buddy's place then back. Obviously let the diffs cool down before heading back. Truck did about 2200 RPM at 75 mph. I can usually hear some exhaust sound in the cab going that speed but it was super quiet.

I'm on 35s but will upgrade to 37s or 38s on the next set of rubber.

The front gears whine/whistle on deceleration but my installer said he checked the pattern multiple times and it's good. Will do the 500 mile drain and fill when the time comes.

 

If you ever get the sail panel tweeters you'll definitely hear the words and probably pick up burps and farts too.

 

Nice collection.

 

Saturday mods Round 2.
I "downgraded" I guess you could say from the remote control airbag compressor system to the regular manual type system. Several issues over the years with dead batteries and battery acid eating the remote up, done. Not much to show cause all my controls and pump are in the swing Case you see.

.
here's a bonus pic I took.

 

Willing to part with the wood pieces?

 

They're overlays.

 

That looks 100000% better. I need to do the same to mine.

 

The 2020 sport in middle is mine, the 2010 RW is my nephews and the 2017 sand is my brother in laws new ride

 

Saturday mod 3.

I knew right from the start that I was going to have to do things a little different because I used the switch space between the 12v outlets long-ago.

.
I went with the only spot I had left.

Used the old coat hanger trick.


.
First SNAFU I had was the big ass front bumper was eating up half the front cam screen every where I tested on the grill, SO I didn't mount it on the grill. lol.

.
I am really happy with the end result and the quality of the build. Still a little pissy about the upcharge to finish the wiring, why have a fake low price. Just charge the full price and finish the build before shipping. I am 96% sure I would have had no issues with finishing the wiring but was 4% worried that I'd miss something and might screw the pouch.

 

Went fishing with my crew and took this sweet pic.

 

Morimoto XD 3.0 Amber LEDs. Jury is still out on the look. Guess I didn’t read the fine print, but was expecting white LEDs.

 

Once they had it in their hands, they had a replacement sent out the next day. Was about 4 days shipping each way.

wishing I’d had my RAS installed before getting this load of gravel to test things out, but I’ll get another chance in a couple of weeks.

Tomorrow I need to swap my steps, finish the shed door, and do a bunch of yard cleanup from the snow storm a couple weeks ago (have to drop a tree that is almost leaning on the house and burn a ton of stuff). And get my bumper over to a friend’s so he can get it to the powder coater with his next load of brackets

 

Couple days ago a friend of mine helped me get the BMC done. Still need to coat and paint the bare metal.

I did the cuts and the finish grinding work. He did the welding.

Came out pretty good for a couple of amateurs. Amazing what can be done post-weld with a grinder.

 

Wow that looks really good and hidden. Take any other pictures and have a parts list to make a small write up to share with everyone?

 

I like! Where can I find this?

 

Looks good! How is it working there? Have had that mount since Xmas. How did you run the wires? I have to get mine in, just been dragging my feet on getting the ARB

 

Here's the one I bought, just a couple weeks ago. Now it says "currently unavailable".

So originally this arb kit was the in case mobile version. Some tweaking was needed to make it permanent but nothing major. The mount itself is from desert does it. You’ll need to move some of the underseat wiring around but once that’s done there’s room.
