What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I like the TRD PRO logo.

 

Thanks Jim!

 

I parked it in the car port. I know that doesn't sounds too exciting, but you should have seen the pile of junk that had accumulated on that side. Took me all afternoon to clean up/throw out to make room. Barely fits, but now it is out if the Florida sun.

 

Yep
I knew it by feel about the time it was too late.
Just glad it was the camera wire and not something in the main harness

 

Add the meso customs dome light. Great fit and finish. Just waiting on the front map lights to come back in stock to finish off the look.

 

I pulled this out of my tire (thankfully it was repairable). But it did make for a fun time on the freeway. Also regretted waiting on buying a larger size tire for my spare, rotating tires on the freeway isn't a fun thing...

 

Wut the fug is that? And how was it repairable?

 

Ya I’d ask for a new tire.

 

good - Taking the Fundra to the shop to get the tornado damage fixed- passenger side gets new paint. (Jan 24 Pasadena tornado)

bad - will be driving a 2023 Highlander rental.

life is still good.

 

Yeah, I can’t believe anybody would repair that.

My guess is the shop doesn’t carry those tires and figured they’d at least sell a patch.

 

I think it's a piece to a sliding desk drawer. We were able to patch it, it was a clean puncture and when in perfectly straight.

There is no asking, it's me paying for one... Run a shop and all the techs, including myself are pretty confident in the repair. It really was the best case scenario type puncture going straight in and causing no metal cords to break inside the tire. Dunked the tire for an hour at 60PSI and it held up for (same with it sitting over night).

 

What size of tires and wheels you running, also what's the offset on those wheels. Looks great!

 

Running a shop has it's own perks

 

Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it’s safe or responsible.

Definitely a shop I’d stay away from.

 

Are you an expert in tire repairs?

 

IS this a winch mount bumper? I can't find much information on them, but it is very nice , almost OEM looking.

 

So might be missing something here...but I can't seem to find an answer. My tow hooks only have the hoop that hangs straight down, not the one that comes forward to the front.

 

Nice work - keeping it out of the sun will do nothing but good for it.

 

LOOKS GOOD!
I'd copp , but here in CALI w/o front plate, we'd get pulled over real quick!

 

So many of us are and I am excited. I love the dome light!

 

Maybe they changed the design in 2018? That's curious though. Got a picture?

 

I only wish they offered both in gray.

 

I know this will shock you, but you are not wrong!

 

Not on-hand, but after some more reading there are two schools of thought on it:

1 - 2WD gets the single vertical hoop and 4WD gets the double hoop.

2 - 2007-2013 get the single hoop, 2014+ gets the double hoop.

Mine is a 2018 and has the single hoop...and it's 2WD, so I guess option one is correct.

 

Let the blacking out commence

 

What makes is more expensive than others?

 

Had four officers in three miles come up from the side of the road, presumably run my plate, and stop again. I think they were looking for someone

 

I guess now that I've figured that out...

Who knows if they're swappable? And if they are (I figure they would be) who has a set of the 4WD ones they'd part with?

 

What did you re-torque to after reinstall? You paint or powder coat?
