What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

How do those tires ride?

 

Good looking rig and nice pictures!

 

Picked up some used TRD off-road wheels and new Toyo AT3s in 285/75-18 to replace my old Method and Maxxis 295/70-18 setup. The OEM plus look has grown on me and hopefully the less poke keeps it cleaner.

 

right there with you, when I bought my TRD I had plans to change out the wheels sooner rather than later with the idea of 17's but the TRD OR's have really grown on me as well. Besides, that's money that can go into other areas of the truck like my plan for the OME lift kit

 

Definitely wish these came on the truck originally. The only other wheels I’d consider would be rock warriors 17’s but those go for more than I’m willing to spend on daily driver wheels.

 

After a few weeks of getting parts together and getting my ditch lights mounted, moving the rear window switch, and wiring everything up I finally got my console back together. Thanks to Rainman for the switch panel and a big thanks to Florida AF for the nice karma on the chalk bag.

 

One day I will put SCS wheels on my truck, if i do not find a set of these on my daily FBMP search first. I love those. Mine came with the 20" chromes and I hate them. Plus the previous owner apparently looooooooved "oopsies," which is what I call it when someone hits a curb. There is a story to that, but you get it....

Love those!

 

Looking good bud! I hope you love that bag as it looks a lot better in your truck than on my counter!

 

That is slick! Doing my lift soon. I’m going to need bigger tires! What’s your lift? I assume you had to to bumper shims or a bit of trimming? Thanks!

 

Ask @TRDFerguson his thoughts on it

 

I would not recommend asking me my thoughts.

 

Based on post #33 of his build thread:

 

for sure! Beats having to lay in the driveway! Not sure when it will get here but I’ll hit you with a PM when it does.

 

Been busy the last two evenings working on the truck. With 67,000 miles, it was time for new pads and rotors, especially after several years of towing my camper. I went with the PowerStop kit that is on Amazon. I liked that it all came in one box, even with it weighing close to 100lbs.

$514 Power Stop Brake Kit For 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra, 2008-2020 Sequoia, 2016-2021 Land Cruiser, 2016-2021 Lexus LX570 - Front and Rear Drilled and Slotted Rotors & Brake Pads Replacement, K2813-36

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GNBGNBA. I did the driver side Monday evening and then the passenger side last night. Also installed my recently repainted tow hooks. I had originally painted them wrinkle red back in April of 2020 but the paint was starting to flake off. I also changed out my recently added AJT console screws for the blue ones. And finally, I installed the driver side grab handle that I got from Sparks Parts. Getting this kit was an ordeal. I had placed the order with them on 3/31 and it spent 2 weeks lost by Fedex at their Ellenwood, Georgia location which I learned was a black hole for packages. Fedex marked it as lost and told me to get with the shipper to file a claim. Sparks didn't want to do anything besides tell me to wait 30 days and would not respond to emails for assistance. I ended up doing a cc charge-back and then suddenly a package ships with the same tracking number and it shows up 2 days later. I canceled the charge-back but doubt that I will order from them again. I do appreciate them offering this as a kit but their customer support is awful.

Spring wash during a thunderstorm. My wife snapped the pic right at the loud crack of thunder hence the goofy surprised look on my face.

 

So, you're the reason it rained than...I knew it!

 

Thats how it always happens!

 

Bought a new head unit and maestro kit. Gets installed next mine.

 

So my thoughts on the knob:

1) I hate that you have to wake it up within 30-45 seconds of stereo boot to get it to connect. If you forget, you need to go into the settings menu to get it reconnected.
2) When it works, it’s super convenient. I mounted it below the console lid where I rest my arm, and it was great to flip the volume up and down as needed/adjust the subwoofer level on the fly.
3) It would disconnect randomly and forget it was paired, then require a whole dumb series of steps to get it back to a working state.

I tried a few different things to work around the issues, but in the end I gave up on using it. Steering wheel controls are fine, and if you don’t know what you’re missing, you don’t need it. Maybe Alpine will update the software (again?) and fix the connectivity, but I’m not holding my breath.

 

Harnesses arrived

 

You’ll finally be able to jump your truck!

 

I don't think that ever stopped him...

 

Shut your dirty mouth and send me one of those stickers you got.

 

I’ll have my people get in touch with your people.

 

The best Mod ever, finally after a very weird and confusing 4 years (since COVID) i made my last payment! Just in time my insurance, personal property tax and license/stickers fees went up.. Its almost like they knew something.... in VA we have digital titles so I'm not sure how that will work, if they will actually send me a title or it will be at the DMV for when i need it.

 

Got some new shoes over the weekend.

Found out my work gets a discount at TD so i started looking there
and ended up the Kenda Klever A/T2 KR628 LT tire 275/70r18.

Tires are really smooth and almost non existant road noise. Time will
tell how they wear.

 

New Dobinsons suspension and Prinsu roof rack going in today.

New shoes coming soon too.
