What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Can’t wait to get a rack to mount my RTT, then make a quick overnight trip. LOL

 

Added the Drivers side grab handle. yeah not perfect I could have taken my time and massaged everything perfect....


but I dont have ocd.

 

You added one… after all this time?

 

Lol...

just decided grabbing on to the stearing wheel to climb in was not the best thing to do.

Parts arrived on Thursday and friday

 

It does not.
It’s part I’d the TRD CAI kit, but many have bought it separately to install.

 

Hit the big 70k today.

 

Don’t see to many tundra’s with a full tank of gas.

 

I went overboard in making a bed divider for the truck so the small stuff I usually carry around in the bed does not slide all the way up to the front of the bed.

Made with a 2"x12"x8', my CNC, and a little paint.

 

Excellent work, love it!

 

I could use one of them!

 

x2

 

Awesome. I'm sold. Part shows up tomorrow. Thanks!

 

I've always liked new stuff on my vehicles. New brakes, tires, oil etc.

 

First drain&fill for wife's 22 Sequoia, at 20k. I hope Toyota saved enough pennies on optimizing the transmission cooler out.





Also found a leaky transmission or transfer case seal It's tacky, so perhaps transfer case. COVID quality...

 

Lights got to be downright dangerous.
So with a Sylvania Headlight Restorer kit, some extra sandpaper I had around, and replacement bulbs ordered a year ago, I figured an August 100 degree wknd was the perfect time to get the optics improved on the Tundra SR.

Came out pretty dang good. Fingers crossed I can get a year out of the efforts...

 

What year is it?

 

This range looks similar to my 2015 CW.

 

Yes. Restorer can work. But does not last long unfortunately.

 

His info says 2019.

 

Max I get every fill up is 288, sometimes 289. Lol

 

That's some brutal sun. Mine is 2019, I wrapped them in Weathertech film, but mostly for bush protection in the woods. The glue underneath started to degrade, plus it is all scratched, but overall does not look that milky.

Sylvania lasted me not more than a year on past vehicles. I was doing a lot of highway miles, it was showing first wear signs after only couple of weeks. Best cure is new headlights and UV wipes applied often.

 

It's a 2019. Bought used couple years back and the truck exterior had plenty of clues of being "rode hard and put up wet", headlights no exception. Last year's Texas marathon summer didn't make it better for sure.
With 3 kids in college, the theme on this rig remains low cost solutions/mods. I'd love nothing more than to throw a set of TRD LED housings on but this will do for now. (My wet sanding skills have gone next level after Saturday afternoon.) Have to admit at least the initial result is better than what I thought was possible. We'll see what she does.
First world "problems"...

 

You have my sympathy and condolence.

 

It will last longer if you apply a protectant after cleaning them.

 

I installed a Viofo 229 Pro dashcam with the hard wire kit. I'll post some pics after I install the other two cameras.

 

The Sylvania kit has a finish coat that includes UV protectant (pretty common w most of these kits i think). It also included a "softener" spray that helps remove prior coatings before and after sanding (more unique to the kit). I did some extra levels of wet sanding with 400, 600, 1000, and last at 2000 grit.
Project Farm had Sylvania and Cerakote kits ranked 1 and 2 for this kind of stuff.
Again, time will tell if there's much to the longevity.
Out of the gate, good start...and sure 'nuf better than what it was...for now. Fingers crossed, eyes wide open, and enjoying the better night vision for some elbow grease and <$25.

 

I've used the Cerakote kits with stellar results too... great effort on your end!! Way cheaper than new headlights!!

 

This no driveway thing is not fun...

anyway, went and had someone else rotate my tires and let me walk under the truck while it was up.

Rear spare is loose, so I will be tightening that up today. And, its officially time to start searching for new brakes and rotors... fun times...

 

Yard sale...

 

Dude, WTF?!




Also. How much for the Tranny?
