What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Probably by applying to much cojones

 

The dang hex heads are small and the lid didn't exactly match up without some persuasion and I let the allen wrench slip

 

I hate torx with the heat of a thousand suns.....especially when they are a fiddly, small little ones.

 

Nah these are actually hex nuts, not stars… lol they are a pita and I swear I was about to lose a few in the engine bay installing my Stillen.

But I’ll tell you this, those SPG has gone up immensely while MPG has most likely gone down

 

Damn skippy....they should come up with some better fastners

 

So did it make a difference?? Noise, performance, underhood area looks better?? Or a combination of the 3?

 

Torx would have been better imo

 

All 3

 

It may have a whistle but I will find out shortly when I get her out on the road

 

Hmmm...may need to add this to the birthday gift list

 

FB find, $350 for some TRD wheels. $88 for Discount Tire to mount. Mine are listed for $500. Going to list them here for $400. Should come out on top-ish.

 

Definitely made a noticeable difference. Sound is much crisp. Cold starts are amazing now.

Acceleration for me is much better, much smoother than before. I’m able to just step on it and the truck just pulls. Much more zippy and responsive.

 

Now I have to go look at those screws lol.

 

Just went out cruising with my son, took the TRD for a quick run through the woods.

 

Did you get it installed?

 

Thank you. Figured but wanted to check...

As far as I know, 115k ish...

 

Subtle noise, but it’s when you accelerate. I think it’s just the fact that it’s pulling in air.

 

In the morning....it rained all evening.

 

One too many ugga duggas

 

2nd pic is looking

 

I know some of the guys don't care for the 'drone' at lower RPMs (I think probably when it's around 1500 or whatever, but I think it's a perfect 'OE' system for these rigs

Enjoy your smiles per mile or km

 

Wish we had rain

 

Photos???

 

Cute that it’s zippy lol

 

Ripped out the dash, installed Lexus AC blower and AJT ac knobs & 4x4 switch. Sanded down vent rings and the 3 grayish trim strips that run across the dash. Next up will be the adhesion promotion and primer, then wait 48hrs to cure before wet sanding the primer, theb applying 3 base coats and 3 clear coats. Then the new radio goes in.

I got a high gloss clear for my red trim pieces. I'm now worried I should of went matte? What do yall think?

 

I'm thinking don't forget the stereo surround piece too

 

Yes! I bought a black SR one. Forgot to mention that.

 

I bought a spare set from a part out to experiment different colors and finishes. I painted all 4 pieces to match. After lots of back n forth, I ended up liking this textured gloss. Im gonna paint the other set I have and probably sell them.
