What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thanks!

 

out here in Lake Havasu AZ

 

I’ve had two different dongles that were both 99% flawless (the first one is now in my daughter’s car). Every once in a great while my phone will forget to auto-connect to the Bluetooth that is needed to initiate wireless CarPlay, but I’ve had that happen on factory setups too. It’s usually after an OS update

 

found both a used (clean) DECKED system, and a Snugtop Rebel cap on FB marketplace today... I am doing my best from getting them as I am waiting for tax guy to finish my stuff (and find out if I put enough aside or will owe more than expected).

 

I want to say I went with the OttoCast because I read a few different reviews that said their customer support was very responsive. It was around a month ago though and I have a hard time remembering what I had lunch so there may have been a different reason. I did catch it on sale, also.

 

I know I know....been busy finishing up the kitchen remodel and getting ready for the rood and electrical panel replacement.

 

Sneak peak on the new step bar. Dropping it off to get it Line-X tomorrow. Stay tuned.....

 

Didn't think I would want it but after driving father in law’s 2023 Tundra, decided it was worth upgrade. Installed a set of auto up/down window switches in the truck.

Ended up with an extra switch since front passenger already had an auto switch.

 

I have a future daughter-in-law from Lake Havasu. Never been there myself. Sharp looking truck!

 

If you ever have an issue with them, you may need to perform surgery. @hnsmrob had a great writeup on a fix.

How’s the ottocast workin

 

How did you get the plastic piece off? I was trying to remove it one day, but couldn't get to all the tabs from the bottom

 

What size tires and rims?

 

One more question. Did you use overlays or did you replace the bulge and grille surround with painted pieces? Anybody have experience good or bad with overlays like these: Tundra Grille Surround and Hood Bulge Overlay Chrome Delete Kit (ecoological.com)

 

Seem gimmicky and cheap to me, I’d get the real thing for $250 more. It’ll last and you won’t have a little line of chrome showing at all times

 

They were genuine Toyota grill and bulge from local stealership

 

I have the overlays on my front bumper end caps and grille surround…the end caps have held up well but grille surround came loose on one side. I ordered color matched grille surround and hood bulge from Sparks Parts Toyota and a new bumper will be purchased soon.

 

How do you keep your phone from sliding off??

 

Found the cement bulge piece for $240 but only option I see for cement grille surround is $630. I'm probably looking in the wrong spot. Will just give them a call on Monday and see what my options are.

 

It's got a MagSafe charger so the magnet holds it in place.

 

What year is your truck?

The one I installed was the grill with the surrounds, bottom of the grill and the 2 sides of the grill, pre painted, one piece.

 

It's working like a charm - I absolutely love it.

 

Waxed my tonneau cover before it rained.

 

This was a real quick search, so triple check but this maybe the part number you need. This is probably what you found.

Pics show TRD grill but sys trail edition? Confusing for sure.

The 2017 doesn't have the Toyota safety sense, that maybe why its cheaper?

 

Yeah, that’s what I was coming up with. Thanks for looking. My guess is that it is due to the TSS. Maybe someone else knows otherwise.

Doing the 30k diff/transfer case service. Of course the maintenance required light comes on for the engine oil.
