What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

down wind, but still far enough away!

 

I haven't posted in a while. But it's good to give my girl a bath so she can be clean for one whole day. Supposed to rain here tomorrow.

 

oh shoot, got it now!

 

Too bad you mpg was 8.8 and it wasn't 88 degrees out; that would've been

 

You just have to do the rough math of 108 / 13.7

 

7.88??

Rough math, so that becomes 8. I was trying to get to 8.88 lol

 

I think Josh @OHwendTrd should win a DDI shirt for noticing that.

 

Took it to a shop for a spray in bed liner install, I'm happy with the end result. Now I have bed mat I need to offload

 

Been struggling to do anything requiring too much effort lately as the wife caught a bug on the plane back from OH. Then the bug got hold of me. Today is the first day I've felt good enough to do something and what a bright idea to wash the truck in this heat....

Needed to be done though. Gotta have her clean for the trip to Austin this coming weekend.

 

Hope you are feeling better soon!

 

Feel better Charles.

 

Thanks yall.

 

They really should have come OEM with these!

 

Does the passenger lock unlock light up also?

Thinking about getting that one piece since they didn’t have it a year+ ago

 

I haven’t verified the passenger side lights up personally (forgot to test that this evening ) - but it’s supposed to!

 

All good. I hope it does. Just let me know please

 

Auto folding mirrors.
I know that I am like a dog returning to its vomit but ... . I have not had any interest in the 3rd Gen because it was a new untested model and I am very content with my 2.5 Gen (except for lack of the auto fold feature). However, today I noticed a 3rd Gen in a parking lot and witnessed that it had auto folding mirrors. That makes me wonder if the 3rd Gen parts (ECUs and whatever else) could be used to make 2.5 Gen auto folding? @RainMan_PNW - Think about it, YOUR KIT WILL SELL REALLY WELL!
Also, I have not looked inside of a 3rd Gen - does it have the mirror buttons with backlights? If yes, then I am getting jealous.

 

Doesn't help that the numbers on tire size are more "nominal" than exact, and things like air pressure will also affect that.

It's all "guidelines" until the new cadet fresh out of the academy gets anal with his radar gun...

 

it won't even get down to 88 at night there until sometime in October...

 

No need to 3rd Gen guts - it can be added using a DPDT relay and a battery power source if you have the power fold mirrors. I've done it to my truck - it's in my build thread. I also added a switch to activate/deactivate the feature, but I'm having some trouble with that switch (cheap switch) so I need to rework it a little to clean it up.

I thought to myself, "no way..." then thought of every way imaginable to show my DDI support, but driving 75mph I fell short. So I grabbed a pic to share with my Tundra peeps.

Great idea, Jim. I wear a size Large!

 

Thanks Casey. I now remember this from two years ago and in reading again my PTSD has returned when thinking about how I do not have the ability to do this (and mine has memory)! You are an electrical wizard!

 

You’ve got the platinum, so a little more complex, but also maybe a little easier at the same time (don’t need special double-pole relays, just a single pole with the fifth contact in each door).

 

THANKS! I really appreciate your expertise but when you say that, what I see is:
Échete tin platína, ára lígo pio períploki, allá kai ísos lígo pio éfkoli taftóchrona (den chreiázeste eidiká dipoliká relé, móno énan monó pólo me tin pémpti epafí se káthe pórta).
It is all Greek to me. Maybe one day I will do a bunch of studying, hone my electrical skills and give it a try but as of today I am simply incompetent.

 

he could've been at elevation somewhere...

 

Funny thing - finally got our first big Monsoon storm yesterday. Temp went from 109 to 68 in about 30 minutes along with .75” of rain/hail and 50mph wind gusts.
