What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone sold their front bumper after installing an aftermarket bumper? If so what would be a responsible asking price? I am clearing out some take offs...

 

How is the quality of these?
Any issues with ordering or installing?

 

I posted mine up for free a couple weeks ago and no one will take it.

 

With the crash bar or no? Chrome ends or the plastic color matched? With fogs or no? What condition?

Some folks post them but the price really varies based on everything. Look at the marketplace, I believe there are a few currently posted or sold recently to help give you an idea.

 

The quality is real nice, same thickness as the husky ones, definitely well made. I just pulled of the Husky labels, cleaned with alcohol and they adhered really well. I ordered the fronts and rears separately as I wanted to make sure they were legit before ordering more. The fronts were oval, the rears square. The front took about 2 weeks to get to me and fit perfectly. The rears (which is pictured) took just a few days and they were just a little smaller than the husky originals but as you can see in the photo still look good.

 

Can't hardly give it away. Sell the fog lights and chuck the rest.

 

Yes everything chrome caps with white bumpshelz. I will check the marketplace

 

You're probably better off trying to sell it locally on Craigslist. As you prob know, most people on here don't like chrome (incl yours truly). I sold my original limited chrome grill on CL, but it took like a year lol. Just kept relisting it whenever I thought of it. If you don't care about having to store it, keep it on CL long enough & someone will scoop it up. I actually have to list my oem front bumper as well.

.....as well as list a used SSO Slimline bumper w/ winch & BD S8 lightbar cutouts - in case anyone is interested in that.

 

Yeah one of the tundra owners in my neighborhood came by and asked if I stiil had my stock bumper and what I would want for it. he banged his up a bit in a fender bender... He has the chrome and likes it.... so trying to get an idea for pricing guess I should have started with that....

 

I picked up a complete bumper off a TRD Pro that had color matched caps and what not for $100. Turned around and listed mine on craigslist for $100 bucks. Full assembly (crash bar, chrome caps, fog lights, etc) I wanted it gone. It sold within 3 hrs.

 

I’ve seen everything from free to $400 for a tundra bumper in my travels while searching for truck stuff. So somewhere in between there I’d say. Maybe split the difference at $200?

 

I really dig this look. Don't see many Tundra guys running aftermarket wheels with all season tires. I don't do much off-roading aside from grass fields.... always wanted to see an aggressive wheel stance with all season (highway tread) tires like yours @Demented Canine

Anyone know someone with this kind of setup? Would love to run a set of wheel flush to the wheel wells with a highway tire.

MY FLAMESUIT IS ON!

 

I did the oil change today but the WIX5156XP fit just fine. I did have the 51085XP on hand just in case.
Replaced the stock skid and installed a Valvomax drain plug at the same time. Looking forward to seeing how everything works but not looking forward to then next oil change.

 

That's what she said.

 

Got 37s after regearing to 5.29. 35 was too aggressive. Noticed better mpg after getting 37. Response is still better than 35 on stock gearing

 

Welcome to the Dirty Seven Club, https://www.tundras.com/threads/dirty-seven-club.40397/

looks good

 

New awning mounted

 

Let me know if you have any FRAC questions. I'll be happy to assist!

 

Thanks for the info. Mine are also oval in the front and square in the back. Now to decide which ones I like more.

 

But you’re here…sooooo…are you really?

 

How did you paint the badges? remove them and restick? Paint on the truck?

 

@Talon2006
I haven't seen the install instructions but shouldn't the skid plate sandwich the cat plate to the cross bar? I would think you would want it that way so it doesn't catch on anything

 

Not sure if it's just the angle of the photo, but that 2nd photo definitely doesn't look like it's sitting right.

 

Noticed a little corrosion around the negative battery terminal when I was under the hood last week so I cleaned it up, added washers, and sprayed protectant down. Detailed the engine compartment while I was it. Good as new.

 

Better MPG with 37s? Geeeez, what was it before?

 

Washed the truck for the first time in like 4 months.

 

Just got a quote for 5.29s…

 

Posted a long-term review of the Elka 2.5 DC suspension kit. A lesser known kit than the Icon and Fox but (spoiler) really good quality and performance all around.

Edit: Not sponsored in case there was any question.

Just rolled over 44,000. Sept 2023 will be three years.

 

How much will you pay me to take it? Depending on your offer, I’m in. But you gotta cover shipping.
