What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Local shop. $130 and over half was the labor.

I got the vinyl material and brought it to a local upholstery shop to have done. Cost me $85 labor

 

So did you take out and replace yourself ? ..or did shop install also?

That's a good deal seeing the new ones approaching 400

 

Yes, the bearings got noisy around 65k miles from eating too much dust. It’s a huge PITA but can be done through the passenger wheel well without removing other components. Now I have a spare for next time. I think it was around $450 from the dealer for the new alt.

 

I had seat covers on mine too until I pulled the trigger on this. Seats are definitely firmer now and have good support. Heated is definitely worth the small up charge considering cold leather is not fun

 

Congrats man. I’ve got a 2006 OG Ridgeline that’s been paid off forever. The best vehicle is a paid off one. It’s been a great little truck, 230k miles with zero problems. No longer fits the needs, excited to join the Tundra family and get to where you are with a reliable paid off truck.

 

What are you getting? Just curious

 

Looking for a 20/21 Tundra limited TRD crew max in cement color with graphite/black leather. Originally was leaning towards the TRD Pro but the limited fits the needs better.

 

great color and trim choice!

Hope you find it! and hopefully not at a crazy price

 

Finally got the new shoes on. I kept the stock SR5 wheels as I didn't want to put out another 2500-3k for new wheels. I went with the Wrangler Duratrac (as that's what we have on the 4Runner), and I've been partial to the Wranglers since my first Toyota Pick up back in 85. Went with the 185s (from the 175); have a 1.5" spacer was going to use, but really don't need to, have plenty of room between the tire and upper arm.

 

dont let the interior kill a deal for ya. A leather kit from katskinz is a pretty straightforward option for these trucks.

Thanks! Don’t mind traveling for a deal, they are out there. I plan on keeping it 10+ years so primary concern and getting one from somewhere that doesn’t deal with winter weather/salted roads.

 

Great point, totally agree. If the deal is worth it would be open to it. Stuck in Denver for training till early February. Soon as I get back to Florida it’s game on to find something. Pumped.

 

Saw one of these on the lot at lifted trucks the other day. Was tempted to trade up... Dont need anymore than I have though.

 

Wrapped the roof Satin black today. Led bulbs installed domes, map, footwell, cargo, license plate. Also swapped in some Philips xtreme vision halogen bulbs. They’ll do for now while i decide on which headlight housing route to go. TRD pro grill is next!!

 

That whole system was a wild ride.. We live in Mont Belvieu and I work there, too. My wife works for the City of Baytown and they had two touchdowns. Crazy to think there were 10+ confirmed touchdowns within about a 30 mile radius. The storm itself was intense where we were for about 45 minutes, but the tornado near us was about a mile away. Definitely abnormal.

 

Glad you guys are ok!

 

Installed the RCI transmission skid plate and catalytic guards this afternoon. Went on pretty easy by myself but doing more and more mods makes me wish I had a lift.

 

Looks sharp! What size did you go with?

 

Pretty much un-noticeably different, 285/65/18 (from 275/65/18). Didn't want to put $$ into new wheels and a lift yet; have other things that need to be done first. Going with the Wrangler Duratracs gave a better look from the standard road tire that were on there though.

 

Amen to that!

 

Had to take a angle shot yesterday after cleaning it all up after shit storm that fell on us. All the bad stuff in Pa they lay down on the roads. Did the wife’s yesterday also.

 

Whew! That color is spectacular!!!

 

What a beaut!

 

Just got my title in the mail. Paid off my 2020 TRD Pro . Let the mods begin!!! Oh, wait.....

 

Paid mine off a few months ago. It felt great to have it paid off!

Congrats!

 

when I had mine done I asked the installer to do it. I had Katzkin send extra material

 

Got my new shoes fitted today, but didn’t expect to drop for new rubber. I knew I was going to have to get some before next winter. There was a 3” gash on the sidewall that I’ve known about for a few years, but they said it was to the belt and couldn’t swap them to the new wheels. So I wrapped them in Michelin Defender LTX M/S.

 

I know she's dirty, tough to keep it clean in the Colorado mountains in the winter.

Not today...but basically the past 6 months, truck was in the shop a lot because I just didn't have the time or patience to get these projects done. Had Carbon Fiber body parts installed in place of bedsides, front fenders and hood. Friends shop in Phoenix had the truck for just over two months and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Took a quick hour afternoon to install the under seat storage. After that I got the truck into High Altitude Motorsports in Denver area to install the Icon stage 10 kit. Got it back home to install the new wheels/tires (TIS 20x12.5 wrapped in Toyo Open Country ATIII Tire 35x12.50R20) This combo rubbed on me so found a new front bumper (Addictive Desert Designs Stealth bumper) and decided to replace the plasti-dipped grill with a new DB customs front grill at a buddies place cause I don't have a garage. I know it's probably not for everyone but that's why it's my truck, great hobby to have just never ending. Next is the lights for the new bumper (40" Arc6x from Baja and 2-10" S8 light bars) and the install of Morimoto taillights, 3rd brake light, and A-pillar 4 banger lights.

 

Thanks! And congrats to you as well.
