What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Welcome from NY.

 

Wanted to work on my Sherpa rack. SWMBO had other plans. Spent the day doing yardwork instead.

 

New Slides and a body mount chop by Ryan (IronRyno Fab) @shmellmopwho.

 

nooooo not yardwork

 

pinch weld too...

 

I scuffed them up with a red scuff pad, 3 coats of rustoleum auto primer and regret it. It went on super grainy and was awful to try and smooth out. Wish I went with another brand. Then 3 coats or Dupli-color Graphite HWP102 wheel paint, then two coats of clear. Not the greatest paint job but I’m happy with it overall.

Thanks! Been growing more and more on me today.

 

I'm coming up on the 60.000 mile maintenance 2018 tundra crewmax I got it certified pre-owned. Did anyone here buy certified pre-owned and take it to dealer to do that service ?

 

Started insulating the topper. This stuff is rated R6. Thought that was pretty good for 1" foam insulation and worth a few extra dollars.
With just the sides done it's 20 degrees cooler in there. Purdy good since it's not even close to being done.



Cut the top of the sleeping platform and added a piano hinge. Makes it so much easier to access things when I'm stuck inside the topper. Covered the piano hinge with gorilla duct tape to protect the mattress.

 

Oh ya! Ryan hooked it up!

 

Nice job on the paint, looks great!

 

Cerakote?! Looks awesome!

 

I spot a TM Nalgene

 

Not to thread jack, but quick question for you. Where would I get a 2 pin connector to attach wires to the rear sliding window motor for the double cab? I gave up on the parking light issue for now until I am done with this window project.

 

Yes Cerakote based on yours. I actually found it at Lowes.

 

You can purchase connectors from Toyota dealer. Then crimp on the correct pins and insert into connector

 

The part number is what I was needing actually.

 

Excellent! I got mine at Walmart. Really happy with how it turned out on the handles.

 

Use the 2.0 section of the 18-21 EWD to find the connector name. Then look that connector name up in section 6.0 to get the part number (usually starts with 90980-).
That looks like it might be a sealed-style connector, so I would then take that part number over to https://www.corsa-technic.com/index.php and look it up there to see if they have it for purchase. It will be cheaper than toyota if they do, and will come with the terminals rather than having to buy the pigtails from toyota

 

Thanks Casey. I appreciate your help as always!!

 

Not sure if anyone remembers at this point, but finally getting my windshield replaced today/tomorrow. Ultimately it's going to be covered fully under warranty, and it should be installed & ready for pickup tomorrow.

The SA said that they have a video of the windshield leaking - apparently it just goes entirely around where the seal should be at the bottom on the driver's side. I'm going to try to follow up and get a copy that I can post here in case anyone else runs into this issue again.

Just going to be happy to not have to be covering my Tundra every time it rains...

 

I honestly have no idea about the grill. The truck has a regional dealer package on it and the grill was part of that. The emblem I ordered from Amazon.

TRD Grille Decor Badge, 3-Color Upgrade Emblem, Universal Compatible with Toyota 4Runner Tacoma Tundra & Other Mesh or Slotted Grille (Classic Style, Red)

Ordered the back window. It will be here tomorrow. Now to find out how much it will be to have it installed.

 

Took my CPO (bought at 65k miles) to recommended private shop for 75k mile service.

 

Princess steps installed this weekend!! Amp Research Power Steps to be precise. Very straightforward installation.

 

truck looks great. Minus the chrome lugs…

order some colorlugs.

 

Nice work! What insulation did you go with?

 

I actually have some black lugs I’ve been debating going to. I like having the little touches of chrome to pay homage to her beginnings. Haha!

 

If anything just rock a chrome tailpipe tip… that’s old school without question.

 

Jumped on the Westcott train this weekend! I've heard great things about their products and their customer service reps answer the phone every time. It's been a while since I've had time to play with the old Tundra. I've had 5100's on the middle setting for about a year and have loved them. I will be using the full 3-1 lift option for the Westcott. They say no BMC and no UCA (I will see what the alignment guys say and will possibly order a UCA depending)

Also installed Daystar cradles for the airbags that I've had for quite some time as well. Toyo Open Country AT3 295/70r18's are going on Friday when she goes in for an alignment. Bilstein 5160 rears to come soon as well mostly because I cant find 5100 rears anywhere.

 

This is the kind of research i can get behind!
