What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Added some carven tr mufflers to my DD midpipe. Sounds very clean and rowdy. Next to remove the secondary cats.

Looks like flying crap on I-15 damage to me.

Quick - order tonight before the 20% off sale ends.

You need to add something else in order to get free shippping because the 20% off drops below the $75 minimum. (I am sure you have other goodies on the list or can get maintenance items.)

 

I'm pretty sure the temp needs to be between 100-110F. I use the same thing (Veepeak and OBD Fusion). The temps are mentioned in this Transmission Cooler Install video: https://youtu.be/5DLkja6vXvc

Funny that you mentioned this. I just got a new toy - an Xtool D8 scanner. It gives all sorts of live data including ATF temps. I'm really impressed. https://youtu.be/IVsrqxtlcDI


I also ordered a Fumoto valve after making a mess draining my oil. Now I know why folks here are using it. Why do I have to learn the hard way?

 

Thanks!

Ya I love my Fumoto valve. Takes a bit longer to drain but no mess and I just drink a beer while I wait haha

 

New to this thread, looking to make some upgrades to my SR5. Has anyone installed the katskin leather? How does it compare to the oem tundra leather? Is the ventilation any good?
Thanks

By the way, if you're using the OBD to monitor your truck, remember to unplug it when you shut down. If you leave it plugged in overnight, it will drain your battery. Another lesson learned the hard way...

 

@Beach Toy I went with Cartrim one. There's a post about it. Let try and see if I can attach a link

toyota tundra (cartrimhome.com)

 

Ordered the Hypertech speedo calibration unit and TackForm wireless charging phone mount. Still waiting for my parts for the AC conversion.

 

Thanks!

 

Happy Birthday dude

 

Thanks! 50 today lol.

 

Installed the usb c charger to replace the rear seat cigarette lighter outlet.

Used the heat gun to push back some of the front wheel well liner that rubs in reverse at full turn.

Wanted to get mud flaps back on the front to protect side body so did some cutting of mud flaps to prevent rubbing as well.

 

What usb / C charger did you end up using? Any issues with it or the install?

 

Bought this one off Amazon:

$17 12V USB Outlet Wire USB Charger Multi Port, Dual PD3.0 USB-C and Quick Charge3.0 Car USB Port Socket with Power Switch, Fast Charge for iPhone iPad Android Phones, Suitable for Car Boat RV Marine ATV

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BX6F1ZP9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Install was pretty easy. Hardest part was expanding the existing hole to accommodate for slightly larger replacement. Bought a step bit and made quick work of the project. Used existing wiring but removed from the plastic connector.

probably gonna buy at least 1 more to replace others in center console and under head unit

 

Damn...I should switch to a USB while I'm doing the AC conversion.

 

Yeah, they were replaced in the first week. Didn’t bother with the center console.

 

How hard is it to remove the panel below the AC buttons now that the cigarette lighter “ports” are no longer there.

Usually I use my thumbs in those to pull the panel off but doesn’t look like that would be an option once replacing with usb c ports

 

Todays lesson in don’t throw any random mounts or hardware away. Initially only used the single radium mount but after the recent stillen pipe it got in the way. So I was able to locate the secondary radium mount and got that dialed back in.

Also ordered some front rotors and pads to hold me over until the BBK is ready since I smoked my setup this passed weekend on the trail run. Next up fixing an Evap code/drain fill the trans and hopefully tuning asap

 

I don't notice any difference in taking it off now versus stock. Probably taken it off several times since they have been installed

 

Adding a battery cage and bracing the mounting structure underneath.

Personally seen 3 batteries come loose/rip out of the j-hooks on the hold down off road, 1 hit the airbag sensor mounted in front of the battery and set the bags off. Had better hooks and hold down previously, and battery was glued down with silicone lol (worked really well). Tig welding the thin metal bracket for the battery isolator to the cage was interesting, think I get carried away with anything that has a throttle pedal, end up mashing it when things go wonky. Hope to get it installed later today, and get the bracing for under it fabbed up and painted.

 

Yea, I need to figure out a much better mount for the same reason. But it'll be moved to the bed at some point but in the meantime.

 

I’ve seen one instance of the battery coming loose and smoking the airbag sensor

Is that for a 27f or are you running a 34?

 

I know it is summer. But I got my heated windshield wipers installed. No more reaching out to slap the ice off.

 

Posted this in the power tailgate lock thread also…I have a slight problem…my truck had the branded PopnLock installed when I bought it; don’t know if previous owner installed or his selling dealer. Anyway, it quit working a while back even after cleaning. It seems to be getting power at the tailgate by test light. I bought a replacement kit and tested the actuator prior to install and no joy. However, I did test both actuators directly at the battery and both function. Any ideas on this?

 

Ok, guess it’s 4 now. The rest of the forum must think we are idiots.

24f, that’s what Walmart sells in agm for the Tundra. Saves a little weight, and keeps the battery isolator within the footprint of the original 27f for me. Not sure why/if that matters though.

Would be nice, but I don’t have any room in the bed for it.

 

i think you forgot to tighten down your battery hold down. Lol

 

Well the forum would be right that we're idiots lol

 

Do you not have the windshield wiper de-icer in the windshield? What trim level do you have? Or is this the actual wiper that is heated?

 

Which tray is that from barnes?
