What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Oh shiet...

 

Install scheduled starting tomorrow AM….can’t wait!!

 

Tuck the mechanic a hundy on the down low. Ask for pics of the install. You know you want them.

 

Just in tim

e to go to Parker

 

Yeah, that seems to be...

 

Shortened up the bedsides.

 

That is a big bite!

 

Had a great turn out yesterday for some dune running. Got to beat up on some TRXs finally. I can confirm that the Tundra is faster on a roll from 40-1ZX mph (disclosed Mexico paved freeway of course) than a TRX with intake and exhaust.Multiple run validated but not faster than one with a pulley that makes 630whp. In the dirt over any whoops etc not even close. Future built motor plan should take care of those pesky modded raptor Rs and TRXs.

 

Which mall is that?

Looks like a great time. Too bad you aren’t gonna be in Parker this week

 

Yea not happy about not being at Parker don’t remind me. Do me a favor and kick all the jagaloons in the nuts for me lol

 

Consider it done.

 

They keep coming faster than I can install them.

 

Final prototype

 

That looks great! How much to print some up for others?

 

New bumper from SOB Fabrication @STravis - can’t wait for Moab this summer.

 

Looks great! How was the install?

 

It went great - followed your directions and it came out nice.

Thank you!!

 

Finally got around to installing the bumpershellz to remove more of the chrome then wrote a check and PAID IT OFF!

 

Chassis Unlimited Octane Series

 

that autoparts.worldtoyota.com discount was pretty nice! i had picked up a 2018 trd sport grill for super cheap. so i was hunting fb market place and craigslist for a good deal on a barcelona red hood bulge, had no luck and then i checked the suggested website from a post here. free shipping, done deal!

 

About to take my 2021 Tundra for 60,000 service Saturday and here is the dealer recommended services. The maintenance guide only recommends inspect and adjust all fluid levels, replace cabin and engine air filter, replace engine oil and oil filter, re-torque propeller shaft bolt, and rotate tires. There is a section "Additional Maintenance Items for Special Operating Conditions", says if driving on dirt or dusty roads to replace transfer case oil (4WD), and if driving while towing to replace transmission fluid, replace front diff oil (4WD), replace rear diff oil, replace transfer case oil (4WD). I rarely drive on dirt roads and haven't ever towed (you're probably wondering why I have a Tundra, haha). What should I go with for the 60,000 service at the dealership? Thank you!

 

change the oil, air filter, cabin filter, and diff oil. Check the wear on the brake pads. Call it a day.

Ask them if your diff gets special fluid for being a limited slip - I’d love to hear their answer.

 

Do you perform any of your own maintenance? I ask because while things like the engine air filter & cabin filter, & wiper blades may need replacing they are dead easy to do and will cost a bunch less if you them yourself. Heck one of the chain auto-stores would probably do those things for you for free if you bought the parts there.

Not sure what they mean by engine oil flush but if you've been keeping up on oil changes I can't imagine that's needed. I'd want details on the complete fuel service. Might consist of pouring a bottle of BG fuel system cleaner into the tank, lol.

Replacing all fluids isn't a terrible bad idea. If it were me I might wait another year on the coolant.

 

So for the diff oil the front and rear diff fluid? Lol!

 

I do do the basics (wipers, air and cabin filters).

 

Yes - 75-90 gear oil - that’s the fluid. (Technically 75-85 but that’s just Toyota making $).

Changing the wipers and cabin filter is more difficult than draining and filling the diffs assuming you can crawl on the ground and turn a wrench.

 

Wow! Thank you for the info...I really appreciate it!

 

Bought a 4x6 stall mat to use as a bed mat after seeing some suggest it. Used the extra ~6” I cutoff to fill in the sides up to the wheel wells. Not bad for $50 and 15-20 minutes of labor compared to OEM/aftermarket ones that are 2-3x the cost.

 

Cleaned Rotundra up a bit and aired out my RTT in anticipation for camping at the Southeast Adventure Vehicle Expo this weekend (Mar. 1-3, 2024) in Starke, FL. https://thesaveexpo.com/

Should be a fun weekend if the weather cooperates and the rain holds out. The “obstacle” course and offroad trail usually see a lot of Toyotas (and Jeeps) playing around all weekend long.
