What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

TWSS

 

I moved my son out of his apartment in Tuscaloosa (4 hours away). Had the Uhaul trailer and the back of my truck packed to the gills, and had his metal bookshelf strapped to the top of my Diamondback cover. I'm whooped.

 

Yep....they say that they can't calibrate the cameras because of the lift.

 

Nice - but they don’t look that good on the lot. Way better than “new”

 

Can't be that hard. It's not like you're rolling on giant lift. Tha camera is what...like 4-6" higher

 

Not even that probably - I think he's leveled

 

Yep, if they say they can't, I'd be like 'OK, not going to make you try!'...wind up with a nearsighted truck screaming 'Brake!' at every intersection...

 

Deflate front tires to lower truck 2” and calibrate.

 

I was that close to getting the Hewit Tech bypass in, and I broke a wire on one of the clips that was connected to the 2condary air pump….

Is there anybody here who can provide a bit o direction as to here I can get a new clip?
The wire pulled out of the connector itself.
I’m hoping I don’t have to travel to a salvage yard in search I a replacement…

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s on here.

 

Plus, what makes me scratch my head at this whole concept is the fact that almost every dealer is now selling new trucks w/aftermarket lifts... at least out in this area. One guy in our area bought a new truck from a local dealer, with a cheap spacer lift, wheels and larger tires; went to replace said tires at Costco, and Costco told him they could only put a tire on the truck that was within 5% overall diameter of doorjamb sticker, which was significantly smaller than what came on the truck 'new' from the dealer.

..it's all just a bunch of excuses to not do the work

 

I got my air lift bags in today. It wasn’t to bad putting them in. Driver side had a leak at the fitting on the bag end. I had to push the air line in the fitting further to get it to seal. And ran the air lines to my license plate. I’ll test it next weekend when I hook up the camper and go camping.

 

Convenient location for the valve stems, but I'd be worried about having 'em ripped out by the first moron that tries to steal your plate...

 

So far I never had my plates stolen. I did have my valve stem caps stolen. So, someday the caps might be missing.

 

I had three mouse traps set under the hood. Only one was still set. I found the one that was set off. Nothing in it. I looked for the third trap around the engine. On my skids. On the ground. No trap. But in search of trap I seen the heat shield on the catalytic converter was separated on one side. I put a bolt/nut in the one hole. Bolt head was still in the other hole. Now it’s solid. And now I know where the noise came from sometimes when I started it up.

 

So I decided my Tundra needed a friend today.

 

Nice color match.

 

Even matching year lol.

 

Might be overdone, but I turned my TRD Off Road into a TRD Faux.

Color matched tow mirrors are the last piece and en route.

Debating on keeping the chrome bumper caps vs color matching vs blacking them out.

 

Africa Twin is a great bike. You'll enjoy that thing for sure. Congrats!

 

Upgraded the head and fog lights thanks to @M3Tundra-JK, and @iHacker.

 

Sold the TPFI catalytic shield, and armored up. RCI LCA skids, engine and transmission skids with cat shields, differential skid, and 38-gallon fuel tank skid. Also rear shock mount skids from The Unnamable.

Some pics are after I took the rig into the woods for some playtime, broke in the engine skid proper.

 

Details on the carrier?

 

those bolt/air fittings are cool. Any info on that?

also…
You may want to consider bending the brake line mount. It looks to be resting on the top of the leaf.

Mine was after the lift, I bent it slightly sideways and out and it’s not resting on anything.

 

Just an Ebay 600#carrier. It worked pretty good, I will use cam buckles in front next time ratchet straps are hard to control when loosening and I recommend 2 people. It weighs about 550.

 

He's up here!

Not my pic....just my nightmare if it happened to me personally.

 

Hosted a beers and gears meet Saturday. Good times. Bunch of cars showed and of course I forgot to take more pics lol

 

This would be a brown pants moment for me!

 

Nice! How did the truck do with the bike on the back like that? Been toying the idea of putting my bike on the back like that for my yearly bike trip with some friends.

 

I was thinking WTF on that pic, then saw the note below it.

damn.

 

Finally got the Ranch Hand front bumper on to match the rear, leveling kit, and sway bars installed.

I did make a post on here then saw this thread stickied... it's been along time last I remembered or used forum eloquete.
