What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Why, back in my day, we had crew seating space in the "third row" for like, 10 of us kids, trick was not bouncing out of the bed when we hit bumps!

 

It is still legal in AZ to have kids in the truck bed without seatbelt, lol

 

Oh I grew up like that. Would go hunting with my dad and his friend 2 hours away in a snow storm and myself and his nephew would ride in the back tucked up in sleeping bags.

I was talking about these electrified 3rd rows #Ram

 

I’d like to hear or be directed to info about the bad experience with ADD bumper. I’m bumper shopping and it’s on the list being considered.
Thanks.

 

The way it's currently design to mount, you will have a panel gap (the one underneath the headlights) of about 3mm or less. The OEM gap is about 15mm. You will need the gap, maybe more, since the cab and front is on bushings and flexes relative to the frame and bumper. It will rub when it flex, even pop your panels or lights if it flex hard enough. I slotted mine to have 15mm gap like OEM but still rubs. Another reason why chrome plated bumper, the panel just slide when it comes in contact with no damage done to both panel and bumper. I recommend at least 15mm gap, If you can slot it to have 18mm gap.

 

First time using a plow, wow is that better than the snowblower! (and yes i know this part of the drive isn't fully cleared, it's dirt/gravel and the Tundra has no problem climbing it)

 

Paid mine off yesterday! Purchased 1/22/22, paid off 1/23/23

 

Congratulations!

Reached out to NFAB via their website. They didn’t even contact me back, just sent the caps in the mail.

 

Hooked up my Scangauge 3. This thing is bada$$! Now I can sell the SG 2.

 

Very nice job! I like that design a lot as it looks very clean and functional. I went with a C4 Overland bumper on the front and I'm currently looking for a rear bumper that suits my needs and taste. If you ever decide to publish the plans let me know.

 

Today was a fairly warm day here in NC so she had her interior vacuumed out and wiped down, washed and then waxed the exterior. Drove out to see the kiddies this past weekend and drove back in the rain so she had that wonderful road film all over her. Spent the day pampering her at bit and then a nice cup of coffee and cigar when done. The more I drive this Tundra the more I'm loving it! Still getting emails from the Dealership telling me that they'd give me 110% of book value for the Tundra... NO WAY!

 

I inadvertently rode thru the recent Tornado in Pasadena TX. I was on Beltway 8 as it passed right in front of me

Scary sh1t.

Debris hits got me 3 windshield spiders & a whallop from a 2x4 on the back passenger door.

was not smart to travel into that storm. that was my 1st encounter with a tornado...and my last!!

 

Glad you are okay and hopefully they get your tundra patched up quickly

 

Don’t do it!! That’s what my wife and friends tell me not to trade in.

 

Your car wouldn't have made it out of Pasadena without needing a wash anyway.

I've lived here all my life and had never seen one until 2018. I was at a friend's ranch near Eustace and there was an outbreak. We watched an F3 barelling straight at us. We were all thinking we were really going to die. At about 400 yards away it took a sharp left turn and tore through some ranch land and blew up a house. We went to help as soon as we could, and the old folks who lived in the house were sitting in the only 4 square feet they could have been and survived; under a refrigerator that had been tilted over onto a sturdy table, with debris on top and all around. It was harrowing. I hope I never see one again, too.

Never had an encounter with a Tornado, although we do get occasional close calls with some hail. The hail can be sizable at times so the Tundra sits inside overnight and when there are tornado warnings/watches in the area. Glad you're okay! That was a very close one!

 

Yup, it's a keeper! Especially since I cannot get another one with a V8!

 

i would love a run like that just to see how she does! Nice video!

 

Milestone. Blurry and late lol

 

Ever been asked the color of your car by an insurance company? I haven't.

 

Not once.

 

Whereabouts in NC? It’s been raining like crazy where I’m at all day.

 

Washed a pound or so of dirt/clay/mud off the skids while they’re down. I think I’ve got my moneys worth out of these. @RCIoffroad

 

Raining all day here as well. Located in Raleigh... nice place but the invasion from the North East is underway!

 

Yikes lol. I’m near Randleman. Little more rural where I’m at.

 

Do you have a more side profile pic? The wheels look great.
