What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

HAHA, man. Well, you’re one of a few running something bigger than 37s.

 

Agreed. Super awkward. Took me 2 hours by myself to just do the leafs. Took me 15 minutes to do the rear coils on the 4runner haha

 

Aftermarket leaf spring are notorious for creaking. I have a set of deavers on my 2nd gen Tacoma that are so Loud! The alcans on my first gen Tacoma aren’t as bad but definitely creak too

 

i do have some spring liners but haven't installed them yet.

 

Last night, installed N2 Designs remote start and add on smart phone control module with gps, remote door lock, remote battery gauge. Uses the Carlink app. Had this on my 2018 Tacoma and worked flawlessly. Always nice to check in on your beauty even when oversees, and maybe start the engines to let it warm up after a week of sitting at the airport.

Installed on my 2021 Tundra. Things I learned… N2 Designs customer support is in the top .01% of all customer support at all companies. Seriously, the best. They know their products so well that they can walk you through any step blind. The directions they send are straightforward. Took me 2 hours because I work slow. Might do a write up of my experience with instructions since I couldn’t find any video or photo install guide for a 2.5 gen Tundra, but it is practically the same exact process as the Tacoma, and there are plenty of videos and photos to follow previous Tacoma installs. I highly recommend N2 Designs. James was the best customer rep to help me.

 

Finally installed a driver-side grab handle. Ebay find for $85! Sparks wants $226 for these now. I got a good deal.

 

Damn.....glad mine was free lol.

 

Weird. It's all the time any movement occurs?

 

Yes, mainly like flexing when backing out of the driveway. I would crawl under it but i don't trust the wife lol.

 

Pulled the front skids in prep for install of the race damper, xat water pump/ fan pulley and solid off-road motor mounts.

 

Damn....I bet you can disassemble a whole truck in your sleep.

 

Just wondering...why are these grab handles installed on the driver side? Makes sense for the passenger to have it. I use the steering wheel to help climb in and hang on for dear life when I'm wheeling.

 

Mine was doing that but stopped after, I guess, contact points wore down enough/got broken in

 

Mine are stubborn lol

 

Free is always a great deal!!

 

ha I wish. I still fall victim to “hey babe this will only take an hr” 6 hrs later lol

 

Yep....I stole it from my 2013 before I sold it to Carvana.

 

Same here lol.

 

I’m 6’3”. Its nice to have that handle up high to help pull myself up and in. I don’t have much leverage on the steering wheel. I honestly wasn’t going install one but lately Ive been having a little harder time getting in after a good leg day at the gym….my knees and hips hate me.

 

I wouldn't sell a bent knife to Crookvana

 

Ahh that makes sense.

 

I think the previous years had it and Toyota went away with it. I love using mine to get in and out.

 

Omg I found this and I want it. Only 1128 ever made.

 

Correct. The 2nd gens had them.

 

Eh.

 

I used to have a white one. Supercharged fwd is a blast lol. Mine was modded and topped out at 156 mph. This one is the Anniversary edition and only 1128 were made in the 2 door supercharged model.

 

Now we just wait for the 2nd one to come in… oh man I’m excited!!!

 

Pontiac is no more so if you need parts, it could be a fun experience.

 

Yeah I know. Same platform as the Monte Carlo SS from that timeframe.

 

Threw on some ark splash guards. Mine were missing on the driver side and worn out on the passenger.
