What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Took the fam up Mt. Herman here in COS. Hitting the dirt again has the mod bug sinking its teeth in DEEP

 

What's next on the list?

 

C4 Fabrication Hybrid front bumper so I can have a winch. Then sliders, belly pan, two lockers with 5.29's, 37s, etc. I always though this truck was too large to build into a wheelin rig, but it proves me wrong every time we take it out

 

Ask @Cruzer about wheelin' full size lol.

Nice list. A front bumper helps alot, even without a giant lift, it feels like the truck is lifted significantly more with the clearance and the angle improvement.

 

Plenty of ppl wheel in full size rigs

Long time TW member. First post here:
Over the weekend I installed 5100s on middle setting. .5” CB shim on each side. 285/75r18 Toyo r/t trail. Removed mud flaps. Plenty of clearance on the front. So far lost less than 1mpg. Can’t really tell a diff in power. Dropped off At the shop for an alignment today. So far so good.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Yeah I’ve been gobbling up full size content like it’s going out of style. Once the credit card cools off from buying a new house it’ll be all aboard the trail whale train

 

I’m originally from the same area as him and wheeled many of the same trails on his build thread in my old FJ and Tacoma. I thought it was rowdy in those rigs

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

I think it's entirely more challenging to do it in a full sized rig.

 

Yup. I wheel my 85 k5 quite often when it runs.

Without a doubt. But now I’m a big kid with a family and dogs, so I’m more than happy to have a little extra size on the trails if the whole gang can pile in.

 

No doubt smaller rigs are easier to navigate through tough terrain but I will say wheeling full-size often simplifies the choice of line and can keep you out of trouble with its larger / wider wheelbase and generally lower COG.

here is a popular spot on a trail we run in Sedona - bad Jeep drivers have been known to roll down this chute - novice Tundra drivers will find it easy because the truck barely fits and is not tippy in comparison at all. If you’re @Cruzer, you drive up instead of down. There is video out there somewhere…

 

That is freakin sweet. Also the best mod you can do to help wheelin full size rigs is to lose any major attachment you may have to the factory shape of your body panels. Then the fun really starts

 

Looks great! Which product did you use?

 

I didn't think a kicker would fit under the seat. I went will the cheaper Blaupunkt. Only 8" but good enough if it's married with the stock system.

 

Yeah, I measured the space under before ordering it.

 

Thanks.

We went with easily applied, pad friendly and all 1 line for this first time. This will be a baseline for us for other products to try and use. It's a deep rabbit hole, that I hope to not fall too far into

Is there a way to use current key or aftermarket mod to allow all windows to power down remotely or from outside the truck, similar to newer models? I’m not seeing anything for the ‘20 SR5.

 

Might be other options out there

Looks good, welcome from West Columbia SC

 

Hey who said driver....

 

It’s generally my fault when it doesn’t run.

 

Mine ran fine except when they didn’t. They also never stranded my wife on the side of the road except for the two times they did.

 

First real voyage for the parentals with the new setup. They’re out in Idaho if anyone sees them on the road. Some interesting things on the trailer needed to be addressed recently. They just don’t make stuff like the used to. We will see how they like it after this trip

 

I had a Suburban that would randomly go into limp mode without warning. No codes, no check engine light, just loss of power and like 5 mph foot to the floor. After a bit of time and cycling the ignition it would eventually “fix” itself. Doing things like driving over Coronado Bridge or climbing a mountain passes was always like playing Russian roulette.
