What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Are they a failure point? I could see it with vibrations. Did you solder all the connections?

 

Items ordered:
Engine skid - steel + 15% off
Trans skid - steel

Total shipped $778

 

Hey. I had same issue with FRAC harness. It was acting weird and actually killed my battery. I just replaced it with anytime camera harness. All good now

 

Y'all let Lou know at FRAC. He will want to know about quality control issues with his harness.

 

Yeah. I just pulled out and replaced it. Never looked back or complain.

 

The peace of mind is worth it to ditch those t-taps.

 

I just installed the RCI steel engine skid plate yesterday. It's well built, but man is it heavy in steel. Very happy with it.

Didn't order the trans or cat plates, so no experience with them. I'm hesitant to put on a trans plate because I'm not sure I want to have to remove it for trans fluid changes.

 

I would highly recommend it due to cat theft. It's not like you will be pulling in for transmission service all the time.

 

What harness did you replace it with got a link?

 

Nice looking set up

 

The traditional t-taps and “scotchblocks” are damaging to the wire and the insulation - they can break stands (in already very small wires), cause weak spots, introduce an entry point for moisture, etc. The posi-taps are much better but are also bulky and can still potentially introduce a bind/kink point.

In other cases, I am actually needing to cut or “hijack” a factory wire to re-route it through an alternative system - such as the auto-fold relay on my power mirrors, and the upcoming manual reverse light switch.

So I have opted to make a break-out harness anywhere I am tapping or cutting factory wires, and then using solder joints for any splices an taps within those break-out harnesses.

 

I'll second this. Cat plates at a minimum.

Got a pretty gnarly pin stripe

 

How it it?

 

So far since I added it the other day. It’s been charging my phone fine no problem. I definitely like having it because if I don’t need my phone plugged into the wire for GPS. I just put it in the console with my Apple Music on.

 

Thanks for the ideas. No skid plates here though.
I have some SuperLube silicone grease so I will have to give that a try. Looks like the only areas will be between the bar and bushing on the 2 frame mounting points.

 

Thank you

 

Just re-tightened and checked all my Amp Power Step bolts. Also sprayed in lithium grease in the hinges to help with lubrication.

It's been pretty cold here but over the last couple weeks, my power step deployment has sometimes stopped short of full deployment. Figured it can't hurt to lube those hinges up.

 

Np hopefully a little grease on those points does the trick for ya. Good luck and let us know if that does it.

 

EZ install. The baggy has what was in my little organizer tray (pens, fire starter, loose ammo, pics of ex-gfs, you know the usual stuff)

 

Woohoo! I'll wait for the detailed write-up to decide whether or not I follow ya down this little rabbit hole

 

Made it do truck stuff.

 

What year is your K5? I had a 1981 with a 400 small block on a set of 33's.

 

Greased the rear drive shaft - The front does not have fittings. 55,000 miles on it.

 

Sexy lookin plow truck

 

85. D60/14bff on 37’s. Swapping in a 383//4l80e all being controlled by a Holley terminator. Full ORD suspension on it.

 

Siiiiick.

What transfer case do you have?

 

Most of it’s in my build thread. I need to update the t-tap one with wiring diagrams once I draw them up

 

NP208.
