What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Been shopping bumpers, and now this one's the front runner.

 

I like that those have more coverage than the factory ones. Guess I'll get this too lol

 

Trivia question:
Do you or anyone else know what the 442 stood for?

 

Engine size (totally making this up)

 

was it 4 barrel, 4 speed, 2 door?

 

According to the google

The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts(Some maintain that the '2' indicated a limited-slip differential).

 

no, because they either came with 350s or 455s

very close!

 

442 started out as a performance option on the Cutlass. It meant 4 barrel, 4 speed manual, dual exhaust. In '67 (I think), it became its own model, and you could order it with an automatic transmission. My family was WAAAAAY into GM muscle cars of the 1960s. I had a restored '70 442 in high school with a 455 rocket and an automatic transmission. My dad cosigned the loan, and I washed metric tons of dishes at a local restaurant to pay it off.

Most terrifying car I've ever driven to this day, and that includes a Ferrari 488 and a v12 Aston Martin. It was So. Fast. Just don't try to make any turns, lol.

 

4 barrel carb
4 speed tranny
2 dual exhaust

 

What about red front fender wells?

 

4 barrel carb, 4 speed, 2 wd posi-traction but could also be dual exhaust

 

W-30 option

 

well of course its more terrifying than a 488 since the 488 has so many damn safety computers and gadgets, etc. The 442 was a 5,000 lb hunk of metal with around 375 HP , crappy brakes and probably couldnt pull a .5G on the track lol.

(Oh and I had a 69 SS396 (450HP) which was a near identical car so I know how you felt)

 

Factory ones suck, especially if you deal with snow.

 

Came with

 

Went with the cheapies... Rough Country N3 3.5" coilovers. Actually had them on previously, but one leaked and RC sent me it out a fresh pair free (within 24 hours!), so went ahead and threw them on. Added the UCAs to get perfect alignment.

 

Hit all 7s coming home from the drag boat races last night.

 

My buddy built some steel cages around my cats. Yes, you can saw through these too but it takes more time which is not what a thief wants.

Less heat trapped for sure ! ...Thief would be thinking "fk this mess, owner obviously cares, and I don't wanna be found epsteined" !!

 

what light bars did you go with?

 

Those look good. I want to know more about the old Willis jeep in the background!

 

No pictures but followed the disable tpms thread and finally got rid of that pesky light on the dash. Feels great not seeing it anymore. Real easy 15 minutes to knock it out.

 

Nice! Did you find the smoke finish on Ebay as well? I only found the clear and amber versions

 

Hey RainMan_PNW, Looks great man. Thanks for choosing Baja Designs for your build.

 

I haven't seen many with this Bushwacker DRT style. Already know this might not be everyone's cup of tea (throw your shade, nothing offends me), but I wanted full coverage over my +25 offset wheel / tire combo, and the styling reminds me of the AJT Design aggressive / utilitarian look. As others have noted, biggest pain in the ass of install was applying the rubber gaskets to the flares; that alone took about an hour. Overall I am pleased, bought on sale from autoanything with free shipping for around $350 delivered. Others wanted $419 delivered (like Amazon), or $320 + $199 handling!

First pic wide angle on the truck, second (front) and third (rear) pics a little closer up, fourth (front) and fifth (rear) pics show coverage better.

 

Thanks. I wonder how well this holds up compared to those Android/Dasaita Units.

 

^ does remind me of AJT ... sharp looking Tundy

 

No vomiting emoji?

 

nice job, they look great! I like your painted badges as well!

 

I've got the 10" and its been really good. I've had a few issues where it would fail to connect- so I would turn off the truck, and turn it back on again to get it reconnected. I did the install myself.
