What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Those air bags would've helped out today. That, RAS, or a leaf upgrade. Four tons of crushed stone and it's squatting.

The fact that I just levelled it adds to the look. Didn't realize 5100 fronts don't have a position for stock height, so I was forced to set it to the minimum of 7/8".

 

You should have said you put 4 tons in the bed

 

Oooff...I like to work my truck, not hurt it! Then again, that's a pretty heavy trailer and I was probably over my towing capacity.

 

If possible you should get it tinted first …I always prefer to do one while it is out
Eliminates the water issues you have to be aware of if doing install with glass in place
My 2 cents

 

Got a few new toys and gave her a good detail. Fully mine now. No traces of the first owner

 

Thank you. Yeah, 42 coats was my attempt at sarcasm/humor. But I have learned that between clear and wet sanding, it's more important than the base color.

They are mounted up, and I am happy with the results.

 

works been busy. First full detail this year .... I've done quick washes, broke out the guns today

 

my buddy and I exchange these pleasantries every detailing effort we do on our rigs we're best buds it's gone on 6 years and counting

 

had to post the little brother too

 

I have a 4/2 level with AAL and truck squatted bad when taking the scout trailer to camp this past Sunday. Ordered the air bags on Sunday night and got them delivered today.

Install was about 2 hours, not including the trip to Lowes for some longer carriage bolts to accommodate for the AAL.

Son helped with install; feel bad I missed out on the picture opportunity with him

 

Put on my Dobinsons MRR’s front and rear, spc control arms, wheelers bump stops, coachbuilder +2 shackles, spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers and my talons garage skid plates.

 

New suspension installed today and alignment done!

i am happy with the stance and how it drives on the road.

have not been off road yet, but have a small road trip tomorrow up to whistler, so that will give a good sample for highway driving.


Yes, tires are bald. I was waiting for level and alignment so I can go with bigger tires. New wheels next week. TRD pro rims with 275/70/18’s.

 

Heavy duty race pack SUA

 

SMH. This was supposed to be a beater, but the color matching has already started.

 

Truck looks badass. Are those fiberglass fenders? Wheel/tire specs?

 

How was the shop experience? Looks good!

 

Received my @snivilous rcf to whipple throttle body adapter plate and it fits amazing. Just waiting on the throttle body, aem gauges, and few other items before I install next weekend. The inside of the adapter is chamfered for a smooth transition in sizes.

 

Too damn hot to be outside more than a half hour at a time...



But I managed to swap out the cargo LED in my Evil 3rd brake light. Ez Pz.

 

Ah you got the evil 3rd brake light. How was the install?

 

I've had it since '21 and it was easy mode. Hardest thing, I suppose, is drilling 4 holes into your cab but I'm used to putting holes in my truck

 

I had a bitch of a time removing the factory housing but nothing major. Also recommend adding RTV.

 

Yeah I got real good at taking off the OEM light housing...I must've put on 3 different ones before I plopped the money down and got the Evil.

I used RTV around the bolt holes on the initial install, and this time, I did the bolt holes and ran a bead along the top of the housing.

 

Loving this set up!

 

Do you have a picture of it with the cover on? Im planning to switch my halogens out soon.

 

Any of you guys go with this yet for 3rd/brake light? It caught my eye and could be a possibility for me. Was wondering if anyone had any reviews on it yet?

I have also purchased the same one, got it like a week or so. Have not installed it yet waiting to get the nerve, hoping it wont leak. Trying to find time to get it done.

 

Nice, it definitely looks sharp in pic. Once you install pls do put up pics and impression. Good luck on it. I might take the plunge as well. Looks like a simple swap install.

 

Yeah. I think it will look awesome on the MGM's. I still waiting on a set of Alphrex Alpha-Black tail lights that are on back order.

 

Thank you!

 

Cover? The last pic in that post is what it looks like prior to being bolted on
