What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Welp, since my winch shackle block is Agency6, I took a look at their site.
With the 15% off sale, I pulled the trigger on:
https://agency6.com/products/garage-sale-fairlead-1-0-black
and
https://agency6.com/products/license-plate-mount-for-a6-fairlead
and (because I needed new ones for my block anyway)
https://agency6.com/products/billet-winch-shackle-pads

the mount is spaced to work with their blocks, and in theory I can pull the two screws holding it to the fairlead when out in the woods.

 

Its a loud pop sound that happens when i'm coming to a slow stop and hit the brakes, or if i rock the truck or shut the door hard. It typically goes away when i retighten the skid plates every so often. Though i need to go over my suspension too and make sure that's all still within spec. I've seen people having loud popping noises from loose UCAs and other suspension components.

 

Keep us posted if you have any issues

 

I had loose LCA bolts that caused this. If it's coming from your skid, some people had it cured by putting rubber washers or strips between the frame & skid. Worked for a friend of mine.

 

Luckily I was able to find the Jomax a couple of months ago for mine.

 

I jumped on the bandwagon several months ago and installed the TRD rear sway bar. Since, I've noticed a difference, but subtle. Like, actual improved handling or confirmation bias? Subtle.

Well, I got my answer over the weekend... Entering a freeway, traffic was heavy, but moving. I was doing 50 plus at the top of the ramp, and glanced back to check on merging. Merge left was clear for the moment. When I looked back to forward, however, brake light city. I had a choice: slam on the brakes, possibly catapulting my dogs into the front seats, or swerve left. My subconscious chose swerve. The next thing, I'm in the left lane and accelerating. No roll, no sway, no rock-a-by. It was like Scotty just instantly beamed my Tundra, 90 degrees to my direction of travel, one lane left. I've one word for that lane-change experience: Crisp!

I love this bandwagon!

 

Hit 30K over the weekend ~ missed pic opportunity

Rotated tires yesterday

 

Have you relocated the rear diff beather?

 

Was thinking the same thing.

 

Not yet. I'll replace the oil soon.

 

Holy pin stripping batman!

 

I know how it feels A buffer polisher takes those scratches out in no matter of time. It's mostly an optical effect after all, the damage to the clear coat is not that severe.

 

There's a bunch of "history" buried under that bridge fosho.
My Junior High science teacher's husband (kinda bizarre connection) ran the original survey teams for that I-10 bridge. She said he would come home with some stories. "...pretty sure we saw some things God forgot he created out there..." was my favorite.

 

Discovered this today:



Zippadeedoodah.

 

Very nice. I am looking at doing something similiar vs building a "solar generator." My largest concern is the CPAP through the night. So I keep going back and forth. Love what you did!

 

It worked amazingly in my 4 days trip. Half-dead 8 years old battery has had zero problems keeping it running through the night at 33-34F. Highly recommend.

 

Fl bird strike today lol.

 

Yuck. Hate seeing that stuff. Water pump? What else should you do while you're in there?

I need to replace the radiator on my 200 at some point soon(ish). I will also tackle the water pump, radiator hoses, belt, tensioner, idler pulley, and the coupling bracket. Gonna be fun!

 

Don’t forget the thermostat

 

How many miles?

 

ha!!! I will take those over love bugs anyday.

 

Barely hit 80k

 

True!

 

Yeah I've got the belt, idler, and tensioner (kit on RockAuto) coming along with a couple gallons of Pentosin.

 

Painted rims with plasti-dip “gloss”.

Sprayed my tails with VHT niteshades - time for some VLeds

 

Throw a couple dryer sheets in a bucket of warm to hot water. Soak your favorite rag and those will come right off my friend...
I'm still working on some use for love bugs. If they tasted better we could make some kind of special peanut butter...

 

Thanks. I confirmed it’s my skid / Cat plates.

 

Had to change out the battery today. It had been acting up for a month or so, I had to jump my truck this morning after it sat for the 3 day weekend then had to jump again after work, so it is gone. Went thru 2 odyssey battery's in under 5 years, so I went with a cheaper option.

 

oh, i know how to handle them. Wanting to is a different story lol. great comment though for those who dont know.

I am about to take my girl on a mid state trip thursday so I already have the treatement ready for her return!

 

Seems like that was what things looked like when the water pump was going on my 2008...
