What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Added to my list.. thanks!

Also these showed up. Going to tackle the breather mod when I get back from our cabin.

 

Nice ...and cheaper than Jomax. Looking at both instructions, Jomax recommends loctite while the TRD say to use anti-seize.

How was the fitment ? ...any problems while installing ?

Thanks for link.

 

Nope no issues. Use some pb blaster to remove the old hardware and don’t over tighten the new aluminum hardware

 

Do you need to remove the sensors to install the protector?

 

Negative hardware only

 

Wow these are really nice. I wish they were not so expensive. I broke one sensor off completely while out playing around and had to drive to local auto part store to replace it. It cost under $100 and was easy to swap so idk if $200 guards are worth it imho.

 

Has anyone ever used AC condenser coil cleaner (like you use on your outdoor AC condenser at home to clean the coils of any dirt or grime build up) on the radiator/condenser on the front of our trucks?

 

Ride still feels like factory, that's why I usually dont do suspension lifts, it's only gonna see bigger tires and some dirt roads. New tire size is 305/65/18

 

I was the same, but I'm going to keep my truck for as long as it will run. I imagine those sensors can rip off running through Johnson grass, or by a 1/2oz clod of dirt, so the chances of that happening more than twice in the next 300k miles made the purchase seem worth it. I got plain aluminum ones from SDHQ, which were about $100. I took the time to paint them; but I don't wash my undercarriage (on the truck) so that was kind of a waste of time.

 

Which color shows dirt the least?

 

Always wanted to try a set of Yoko MTs. They're so good looking but I've seen mixed reviews.

 

HaHa. Classic. “That’s the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage” -spaceballs

 

I removed the guide brackets, and had my wife help by cranking up the 35” full size spare while I was pushing the tire forward. It fit between my CB +3 shackles…barely. Only about 1/2” between the tires and the shackles

 

Nice! How was pressing out the stock bushings?

 

Do it. I’m on my 4th set. Best tire I’ve had. I ran bfg mt, KO2, duratracs(2nd best), at3w. Nothing comes close to these for my needs.

 

I recently did this too, such an easy safeguard for the rear diff.

 

I was too lazy to do it myself!
I had the shackles installed with the TRD Pro Fox shocks and the CB TRD Pro lift kit all at once. The installer was able to pull out the bushings in one piece on both sides, which was pretty impressive considering 75,000 miles. But then again, he probably had the right tools.

 

First coat of paint on the tow hooks and first coat of Nightshade on the 3rd brake light

 

I’m considering going with their MT next time. I have their x-ATs and they have been great and look brand new still at 25k.
Although the MTs are currently cheaper…

 

How's the wet pavement performance

 

decent. I can get them to slip on a ramp if I give it gas, but other then that a rather planted feeling.

 

I'm mostly concerned about the part where I hit a puddle.

 

Changed the oil and then washed the 2020.

This was the first timing draining oil with the Fumoto valve. It worked well - took about 15 min, maybe a little less. It’s definitely a cleaner method.

The OEM plastic filter housing is still a PITA. The silver drain cap wouldn’t come off, so the whole filter unscrewed while I was only trying to remove the silver cap to do the pre drain thingy. Strange it was tight since I didn’t over torque last time.

Changed today at 8,820 miles
Previous change at 2,100 miles

So, that’s 6,720 miles on Amsoil SS 5w30 w OE filter over 15 months. I planned to change at 12 months but ran into supply chain non sense. The drained oil looked slightly darker than I expected, found 2 small metal bits in the filter. The first change had a few more bits but not many.

 

I rotated my tires and replaced the wheel well splash guards with Rad Rubber Designs thick rubber units. The passenger side forward one ripped and is what caused me to replace them

 

Nice. I flat out lost my driver side one day so I installed Ark Splash Guards on both sides. The passenger side sucks to put on.

I won't install a breather at the end of the hose for that reason

 

Sexy!!!

 

Cleaned her! First time in almost 2 months we got a stretch of no rain. Though, next week we get a hurricane … great. Dog tax included.

 

Was out of town for work for the week so had to take the rig out to play.
