What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Metal skills. Very nice.

 

Got my rear cat skid designed and built today. I made bolt brackets that sit on top of the crossmember so you don't need a wrench on top in a hard to reach spot. I did the same with the front skid as well. I'm happy with the way everything came out.

 

Dude that looks awesome. Nice work!

 

What is a busbar?

 

Nice job.

 

It is for adding additional power connections for accessories. It gives a cleaner look and eliminates the rats nest look of having multiple wires coming off of the battery terminal.

 

Turns out I can set this platform on top of the rear seat and sleep on it (or so it seems). I turned it 180° so the legs are in the seat and then propped some stuff up on the other side to level it out. Backseat is 5’ wide and I’m 6’ tall and can still very comfortably lay back there. Going to test it camping this weekend.

 

Looks comfortable

 

I'm 5'9" and sleeping on a rear bench in my DC a few nights in a row. It is not very comfortable, but 2-3 nights is ok. Was thinking about building a platform, something you've pictured. Thanks for confirming that might work!

There's also a bed in trunk, but creeping out of the bed at night for beer by-product disposal is absolute nightmare, especially in winter =)

 

It wouldn’t be difficult at all to make a platform like mine but dedicated to sleeping! I have like $80 and a couple of hours into this one.

I thought about sleeping in the bed of the truck for more room but I have a tonneau so it would be like a coffin.

 

Mine is ok. The only real problem is access to the bed and lifting the gate.

If I add an ammo can wood stove burning pellets for half a night or so, I may change my opinion.

 

Well done!

 

In Vegas it's the place you walk up to and order a drink while riding around the strip in a bus with a crap ton of other drunk people

 

I know what that is....I meant in regards to that plastic thing

 

Bumper on. Will pull it off and add lights and winch after Christmas. This thing is badass!

 

that looks great, what bumper is that?

 

@STravis

 

What is the suspension setup and wheel pkg on the 4R? Is it the 4.0 V6 as well?

 

greased my delta joints today.... with lucas oil red n tacky #2...appx 3500 miles...since installation. The old grease squirting out still looked almost new. Sorry forgot to take pictures

 

that looks good.....Are the hydo...bumps next and UCAs

 

UCA I plan on keeping it stock. I am just at 3" lift. Less maintenance and less foreseen noises or rattles etc. OE last longer and quality is good enough

 

Did an oil change on it. Only 5600 miles, but the last one was in February.

It's a bumper I build in my shop. I run SOB Fabrication. You can check us out on IG at sob_fabrication or Facebook at Travis at SOB Fabrication.

 

Looks good.

 

Added some LEDs today.

 

Thanks. It’s the “wifes” rig. I got it for her than lifted it the next week haha.

 

Looks good.
