What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

NICE!!

 

Yes, please keep us posted.

 

Just do your Jedi mind trick thing.

 

Did the brakes this weekend. As expected everything was rusted together. The wheel spacers were seized on to the rotor which forces me to fabricated a slide hammer. The locating pins for the brake pads were rusted solid. Ended up cutting them in have, grinding off the heads and using a punch to drive them through. Wire brushed everything down, Painted the calipers and backing plates. Coated everything with a thin layer of red grease to keep it from seizing again and bolted it back together. Bedded them in and should be good to go now. I went with Bendix Fleet Metlok rotors. They were in the budget and seem to have good reviews. Seems like I have some uneven wear on the pads. The inside pads were worn more than the outside pads. I will keep an eye on this and a caliper swap may be in my future.

Side Note: Also had to deal with bulging lug nut covers. Spent about 30 minutes removing the stainless cover on all 10 lugs I had off for the front wheels. I painted them black to match the wheels and let them sun bake while I did the brake job. They seem to be holding up well. If you are in a snow prone area I would either swap the lugs out or get ahead of them. I didn't have any issues removing them other than being stuck in the socket and having to smack them on a rock or piece of metal to remove but it could have been a lot worse.

 

Yep, did my brakes not long ago and my lug nuts were apparently put on there by a gorilla. Had to use an impact to take them off. Didn't have a breaker bar or lug nut 4 way. I have aftermarket rims so the stock lug wrench didn't fit the nuts either.

 

Got new shoes put on her. 305/55R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

 

Washed her up today.

 

Yep, just got back from running her through the car wash. New wipers too.

 

Email received- LSK race kit should be shipping this week. Slight delay on the RCV axles.

 

nice.... well RCV LT axles worth the wait I guess

 

THE DE-CHROMING(is that even a word??) BEGINS. and was able to relocate my FRAC camera, SSOOO much better now.

 

Those look incredible, great score

 

I'm jealous, hopefully this is the next mod. That is the system I want(need).

 

Installed mine a few weeks ago, can definitely hear the tone change when the VVTI adjusts the cams. Still waiting on the MPG increase that was rumored to happen

 

No regrets here! Not obnoxious, just a nice tone. Haven’t put the resonator on yet, but if it lowers the drone even more than it has already, should be awesome.
