What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sent you a PM

 

Probably just a custom exhaust job. They probably chopped close to the secondary cats and did a closer side exit instead of the original side exit going above the axle and out the back of the rear passenger wheel.

I dumped my exhaust after the axle like most do here so it’s hidden and tucked away underneath the bed. Slight drone, but I’ve gotten used to it.

 

Look for my picture on the wall.

 

After years of 8 dealing with this;

AC cuts out (blows warm air) for a few seconds sometimes. | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)

I think I narrowed down my AC clutch cutting out to the climate control in the dash.
It randomly cuts out and ALWAYS comes back on hitting a good bump in the road.
Had to be a bad connection or ground somewhere.

I had a local shop check all the connections and of course, they couldn't get it to cut out the 3 days they had it.
Even during oil changes at the dealer throughout my extended warranty, I'd note the issue but they could never replicate it.
The local shop replaced the clutch relay (I did that already) and didn't charge me labor since they didn't fix it.

I think I finally narrowed it down to hitting my climate control in the dash when it cut out and it would come back on.
Been doing that for about a month without fail.

Last week I bought a used climate control on eBay for $85.
It came today, I swapped the innards (circuit board) on the new (to me) part and put it my old case with AJT knobs.

We will see if it fixed the problem.
It's better to spend $85 on the eBay part with the shot that might work than buy a new one for $700 + and it not work...

 

I used my hailprotector today.. photos are roughly an hour apart

 

How long did that take to setup?

 

To put on maybe 5-10 minutes.. You wanna make sure that it's really tight under the front wheels, so that the wind doesn't blow it loose. Maybe 10 min for it to fully inflate, which once you turn the switch, it does on it's on. I bought it in early June after they had a hail storm in Florence and I ran to the gas station for cover. This is the first time, I've actually had to use it. Worth the cost.

 

Nice, here's the link

I had no idea there was an OEM no screen gasket. I just use snips and cut the screen out of mine

 

1st, it’s minimal at worst. 2nd, any mudding? When you get back a power wash with that small gap makes for an easy clean up. I really like it.

 

That is sweet. Did you order yours on line?

 

I've never seen that before... nice!!!!

 

Right!
Thks Jim for the link. @Jim LE 1301

 

I spray painted mine and some 2k clear coat. been holding up for 2 years now.

 

I see you left the indictor whereas the way it is "supposed" to be installed either covers that piece or it is removed, I like it!

 

I touched up some scratches and put gas in it.

 

Replaced one of the 12V sockets in the dash with the dual USB rapid charger (00016-00225) that I got off ebay from a Toyota/Lexus dealer in Miami. Ordered another one to do the rear.

I just clipped the oem connector off, and used a Deutsch 2-pin connector after shortening the leads off the USB.

 

Reamed out the hubs to accommodate my extended lugs. And ripped out the radium catch can and moved to a different unit. Pre ran the hoses and will cut to length once the blowers back.

Next on the hit list is throw in a fresh belt. Ordered some new fender washers for my door liners we made should have those this week along with the new upgraded Lexus coilpacks. Got the new plugs gapped tighter. Need to order the o2’s while I’m at it.

 

does it actually fast charge with the factory wiring?

 

Swapped out to the TRD Intake Accelerator. Figured it’s a cheap upgrade. Also took out the carbon filter from the intake box.

Changing out and removing both items really made a sound difference with the start and revving!!

 

Dude where’s that SABM mod! Get it goin

 

I did that mod on my 2013. I kept the kit after I sold the truck but I don't know if it will fit the 2020 or not.

 

Should fit box didn’t change much

 

Lol man!! I’ll get to it!!!

 

Oil/filter change; propeller shaft lube; rear diff service, transfer case service; front diff service; transmission service; coolant flush/fill and $1248.39 lighter...Should hopefully be good for a while...

 

And now we wait…

 

Boom even better

 

Nice cell phone charger....I have one on the way

 

Installed a 12volt Solutions remote start kit on my 2020 SR5.They make it look easy on the instructional video cause they have little hands.
