What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

No pic, but replaced wiper blades...when did quality wiper blades get to $75.00?

P.S. get off my lawn

 

Started on my AT cooler install

 

Picked up a load of firewood in the looooooooooooooooooooooooong bed and finally got some snow in GA

 

What all do you burn in GA? Here in Northern AZ, its typically pine, aspen, oak and juniper varieties. I dont care for pine due to creosote build-up.

Got some family up near Lake Hiawasee, but dont think they get cold enough to run a fire place.

 

Mostly red or white oak - this load was red oak with some hickory. We have a lot of poplar too.

If it's under 32 I'm burning in our insert. Tiny box but it blows hard and heats a lot of space.

 

what wheel is that??

 

The 'steering' wheel....


Sorry, just kidding!!!! I seriously couldn't help myself w/that one

 

Look to be the cartrimhome steering wheel

 

Probably 1 of these.....

Cartrimhome unit

 

where are you getting ripped off for 75 bucks lol

o o o oreiliys has the really nice Bosch ones that work great on our trucks for like 20 a blade

 

Been putting this job off for the better part of a year so over the last couple days, I put on my big girl panties and went to work.

I've had a battery light on the dash for months and had a hunch it was the fusible link w/diode I installed in the fuse box. Either it went out, the fuse did, or it got jimmy'd loose. If all that turned out fine, the alternator was gonna get a serious gander.

Here's what I started with. The initial placement obviously wasn't ideal, but the benefits outweighed the restriction of access until it didn't.

Here's what it started like:



And the removal:


Relocated:



It ain't the prettiest, but pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm going back in to throw some more loom and route some stuff a little more. Got lucky and found a guy in Austin selling the Taco Tunes tray. They don't make/sell them anymore so yeah got lucky.

By the way, no more battery light.

 

I like the wheels, the color of the truck is nice too.

 

I do not like this setup at all. I have only ever had that little cap off once. It is not worth the hassle trying to take it off despite the mess it makes. It's almost as if the thing is welded on there. What is wrong with a plain old filter to just take of and replace?

 

37s installed, locker and gears next

 

X2.

 

I don’t even try with that plug. Just spin loose the whole housing and let it leak everywhere.

 

Hell even the OEM blades are $20 apiece when you get them online. Once you have the OEM blades, you can get the refills for even cheaper from then on.

 

Same. I've probably gotten it off twice since I bought the truck in 2016.

 

AutoZone...they had an empty peg hook for that blade in the 26" so I sucked it up and went for the top-o-the-line.

 

A few more from this weekend.

 

Damn...that is some clear water! Wouldnt mind wetting a line there if there are fish.

 

I tried but no luck. It's too cold right now. Going to go back in the spring and attempt again.

 

That happened to me a week or so back....hiked in to a spot thinking I'd get some bows and browns, but didnt even consider the water would be frozen. Definitely going back in the spring and summer.

 

Meh, I fish at the park when they irrigate, ya never know

 

Some background:





Interesting place, never been.

 

Brought the camper home to winterize and do a few repairs on the plumbing for the outdoor kitchen this weekend. First time pulling it since all the suspension upgrades and they really made a huge difference. All together more stable and smooth ride and the HD RAS system greatly reduces the amount of sag in the rear compared to before.

 

KKK RRR Ooooooo Q !

 

Had to put off the trip until the 24th. I'm pretty stoked for it, starting at Salton, then to San Bernardino and back into AZ along 40 with detours on what's left of 66.
