    What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

    Super happy with my Wolfbox 840s. I have a camper shell and for the life of me couldn't figure out the best place to install. I took a chance with in the latch and it works great! It's covered enough where I can go through a carwash with out the concern of it being ripped off.

    Didn’t love the other protection rings so swapped them out.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    I would personally hit Corsa-Technic and find the mating connectors and terminals for that harness by the spare tire and then make an extension harness so that it could be removed.

    Greased the u joints. Had to get creative with the one going into the front of the transfer case due to the RCI skid plates.

    Finally got tires mounted today after waiting for delivery. Really digging these polished Ray10’s from SCS. Got fitted with BFG KO3’s in 295/70R18 - sitting on King 2.5’s all-around with around a 2” level. +25 offset, so far no rubbing lock-to-lock, but had already ditched factory mud guards and did the front fender liner mod.

    I may have to try this, I have a Nexar. Initially having the rear camera in the cab worked but I'm in the same boat with a softopper. I'll have to find a compatible camera.

    I have an 840s and a softopper - I mounted the rear camera right at the top of the license plate frame and drilled a small hole in the plastic bumper cover to run the wire. Will post a pic shortly but it works great with the cameras large field of view.

    AFAIK you can not get just inserts for OEM blades. Can you post a link to where you get them?

    I ordered mine for the driver and passenger sides on 11/28/24, they shipped 11/29/24, and arrived 12/4/24 at my house in California, so you might want to check with them.

    East detailing steering wheel cover. Took like 4 hours to stitch on. Didn’t come out perfect (my fault) but it’s much better than my stock steering wheel which was showing signs of wear.

    I wanted to get it in that gap under the tailgate but it barely hits when fully down. This is more than likely temporary but better than I expected.

    Great list of updates! I am interested in more details about the Alpharex Nova headlights. Do the DRT strips turn from white to amber when signals are turned on? Or is it a choice to have amber DRT? How does the sequential signal work? I understand the OEM amber bulb is re-use. Any chance you could post a video with turn signal on? I know the video will appear 'blinky' but would still like to see them in action. I have the Alpharex tail-lights, so these would be a good match AND improve visibility on my drive up to the lake at night!

    Only contact on their website. They have a youtube installation video or two, could maybe message via that as well. Good Luck. I think mine was a week or two until delivery before Christmas.

    Oh ya, this was all that was left of the original. Gotta admit it was kinda funny when it happened, that thing LAUNCHED itself across the highway and up an embankment into the great beyond. LOL

    The Dirty T ( ^_^)_且
    Did a coolant and power steering fluid exchange today after 11 years and 75,000 mile (don't judge me). I did it my way (lazy), drain and fill, not flush, kind of like the transmission. Coolant drain from the rad, a bit over 1.5 gallons and will do again in a few months. For the power steering, I got a bunch of big syringes from Amazon and used them suck out all the fluid (TWSS), fill, start truck, turn wheel a bunch, repeat. Anyways, that's my lazy ass way of doing shit, better than not doing it at all. Old coolant looked brand new, power steering fluild was a bit dark but not bad.

    Anyone have a diagram that shows which hardware is for the bumper ends? I took this thing apart awhile ago, mixed up a ton of random hardware in a coffee mug and forgot what goes where.
