What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Man those have been a long time since production. Mine are still good to go. I think I used filling primer and sanded 10 times to get them almost perfect. They are still so much better than chrome.

 

The only issue I had with mine is the top lens was getting very dirty inside this was after almost two years. I contacted when under warranty they are sending me two brand new ones to swap out. Morimoto is a very good company.

@TRDFerguson has the Form headlights from @memario1214

 

Thanks! Hope he chimes in. I see they have a warranty also but not as long as Morimotos

 

Wheeled this morning on my test loop. Opened up the first bypass tube few turns feels awesome. Same 30 mile loop in 48min vs last weekends 55min.

Tossed the new perry parts bumps up front (should’ve did it before my run) so we’ll see how they feel vs the duro bump. Itll be interesting to compare all this to the planned suspension revision.

 

Send me those duro bumps

 

Truck stuff.

 

Oh man, so jealous. I saw that on Netflix and need to get me some Texas BBQ. Maybe if I can convince the wife to go to the USGP some time, we can go to Snow's.

 

Installed seat jackers and completed an ATF drain & fill.
Productive Saturday so far!

 

Finished wiring my power fold. I bought

$24 Power Auto Rear Mirror Folding Switch with Wire Harness 84872-52040 for Toyota Vios Rav4 Camry Scion Lexus

this switch off Amazon to keep it OEM-ish.

Boost Auto Tow Mirrors
Smoked strip
Hi beam reverse spot light
Sequential signal 2.0 and running light
Power fold

Rattle-canned the paintable caps:
2x coats of Adhesion Promoter (primer for plastic)
4x coats of Toyota 6v7 (bought locally)
3x coats of 2k clear

 

Yeah I enjoy mine very much you will be happy with these very much.

 

Used it to move the GF’s youngest to her own place.

 

Took the family out for cruise night. Years ago as a teenager I used to cruise Main street, till street racing and crime made the city make it illegal. Now, once a year a local hotrod club convinced the city council to allow it one night a summer. It was a late night then an early 3:00AM wake up for work but damn was it fun with the kids, blasting music and listening to fuel get turned into noise and tire smoke. This is the only picture of my truck I got all night, aside from a dozen other cars and trucks and some videos.

 

Truck was driving great. Cruising 70-80. 15-16 mpg with range 310-320. I wish ride was more comfy LOL.

 

Thank you. Will plan next time.

 

This is badass. You killed it man!

 

What does the switch do? Not much info on Amazon

 

we need one that folds the mirrors when put in park.

 

I mean, it adds a "fold" button that you otherwise don't have on the mirror switch. Folks who have bought the Boost tow mirrors and added power folding, have bought this switch so they can keep it looking stock and not have to use up a blank with a separate fold button. Multiple threads on this and how to wire it too.

 

So it is not an “auto” fold, just fold like the stock switch on the Platinum’s have. That is what I want is an automatic switch that I can set. When on it will fold/unfold on start/off unless I do not want that to fold then I can hit a switch to turn it off.

 

that’s my guess

my 1794 has that exact switch and it NEEDS auto close bad.

you would think someone out there has made a bolt on that does that.

 

Check out Casey's build, I am not good with electrical but I think he provides instructions to do auto folding like you just described

A little rust prevention. Love spraying this on newer vehicles.

 

Yeah, it’s the OEM mirror adjust that includes the fold switch. Drop it in, and run wires from the mirrors to the connector behind the dash.

I went this route because I don’t have any blanks left by the mirror adjust.

I am interested in upgrading it to auto fold, too. Now that I successfully tapped into the truck’s connectors on either end for a tidier OEM look, I have a bit more confidence with wiring projects. Back to consult Casey’s thread!

 

I need to do this

 

Installed my Jomax Customs ABS guards today. Wanted to adjust my parking brake too but I will need to drop my rear cat guard to gain access so it will wait for another time.

 

Don't do the cable. Pull your rear wheels, and there is a rubber plug on the wheel mounting surface of the rotor. Pull that, and there is a standard drum star adjuster at the 6:00 position. It doesn't have a lock, so it can be turned either way. Play with it, and bring it in to the point that the shoes are just barely making contact with the hat of the brake rotor, then back the adjuster off a hair.

 

Backpulled the wiring for the electronic lock on the Century fiberglass tonneau cover I removed last weekend. Found that they had run the wires through the driver's side frame rail, and punched a hole in the driver's side footwell body grommet. Wish I hadn't thrown away the one I had to remove from the passenger side when I installed the OEM tailgate lock.

Anyone happen to have a spare, or know the part number?

Also, installed my RCI Transmission/Transfer case skid with cat shields. What a hassle to do by yourself in the driveway. Especially trying to tighten bolts.

Thought I would install my FRAC camera and harness, and need to watch the video again, and the instructions. I have the YotaLEDs anodized bracket and RainMan-PNW's shim kit. I found a Kenwood backup camera (230 I think) that I bought my kid for his RAV4 when he started driving. He never installed it, and I thought I would run it to have a 3rd camera at the license-plate level, only to discover the wire is only about 6ft long, nowhere near long enough for a CrewMax.
