What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I wouldn't buy crap from them. They care more about sales quantity, not quality of what they are selling.

 

Apparently have been posting “what I have done today” posts to the 2nd Gen tundra thread, didn’t know our tundras are “2.5 gens”, apologies this is my first truck! Anywho, today I got a bunch of parts installed!

I had Bilsteins 6112 and 5160 + x1 shim on passenger side and x2 on driver said for a total of 3’, Freedom Off-Road UCA, Coachbuilder 2” (1.25” actual) Rear Shackles, Talon's GarageSkids, Method MR314, Falken AT4w installed.

Now get that chrome crap swapped out.

 

lol yezzir, I just spend thousands so I’m trying to remain on wifeys good side, so that may be awhile hahah, but it is in the works, planning on paint matching the chrome to silver, most likely via overlays

 

Heck of a transformation. Well done

 

Looking good.

 

Thank you kind sirs

 

Lookin good! Silver Sky Metallic is one of the few colors that I feel like handles chrome pretty well, so if it doesn't bother you, save your money and rock it the way it is.

 

I'm the opposite... I have the alloys and would prefer black... Lol

 

Thank you!Yeah it doesn’t bother me too much, definitely something I can live with. I’d rather put that money something important like GAS lol.

 

Yeah, where's the fun in that? The best I ever got in my 2012 Crew Max was 19 from here to Klamath Falls using cruise control the whole way, and sticking right around the posted limit. On the return trip, I had a scout in the form of a late model Camaro I could hear over my stereo cranked to 11, and the DDI 8" standard

A shame I can't give that more than a simple like. One of my favorite things Clarkson has ever done. Taking that truck across the English channel was epic. Plus, the Hilux they tried to kill and couldn't.

Top Gear is a standard that will likely never again be met. Though Roadkill is pretty entertaining as well.

 

I like the chrome on my super white as well...but I guess the chrome doesn't bother me on any tundra so I'm not that guy.

 

How to drive a Super White with chrome in Texas:

 

Helpful tip on that: Get off this forum

 

Yeah some people despise the chrome, I don’t mind it!

 

Literally, the best advice ever haha. My wife would love you

 

My wife has her own bank account

 

Oh my wife does too, she also earns more than me, and she’s a cpa hahah. She gets it tho, boys will always need their toys, she just wants me to responsible. Still a party a pooper haha

 

Wife makes 3x what I make so I'm with ya in that boat.

 

Give Season 1 of Clarkson's Farm on Prime Videl a watch. Ity pretty darn to funny.

 

The greatest problem chrome is in the interior!!

 

This is EXACTLY right! The exterior chrome has never blinded me.

 

Truth be told, I agree with you, but I will say the sales process was seamless compared to the last car I bought at a dealer. And I liked that this truck was a one-owner from Texas with 53k miles. No rust, history of regular oil changes, it seems the bases were kept up with. The cabin air filter? Not so much... changed that out today.

Also took it to a decently reputable shop this evening ("Christian Brothers Automotive"). The local branch has good reviews and is part of Carmax's third-party certified shops, so I'll have them do a detailed inspection tomorrow. Hoping to get data-based maintenance recommendations for a few small issues and have Carmax foot the bill.

 

Got some Nitto Ridge Grapplers 33/12.50/20 on stock height. (2021 Platinum)

 

Another set of color matched taillights. Integrated chase lights, custom red running light bars.

 

Finally got a tundra bought a 2015 limited double cab with 60k miles , coming from a f250 that im tired of repairing , been going through this thread , at page 1000 so far … this is going to be expensive

 

Nice truck, and welcome

 

whatever you do don’t go to the Dirty7’s thread… or it’s gonna be expensive

 

Going through this whole thread my list of thing to do is getting long and expensive
When i bought the truck i told myself i was going to keep it stock … that was until i found this place
