What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Here in the forum as well if he's still printing them.

 

I would have definitely gone this route, I think it looks MUCH cleaner. Unfortunately, the dealer drilled a hole (brand new truck mind you) where I have it installed. This is what was previously there:


(not my pic, but same port)

 

I got a printed part on Etsy that replaces the panel, and has new holes https://www.etsy.com/listing/1622978568/toyota-tundra-center-console-dual-12v?ref=yr_purchases

 

I saved probably 2 grand in labor by being willing to trust my very average wrenching skills.
With the help of YouTube... New pads, rotors, transfer case fluid replacement, a minor fix to the rear passenger window bracket were all very reasonable jobs to take on provided you have basic tools.

 

Man the 2 door XJ's are getting tough to find these days...

I have no concrete evidence in my truck that it keeps the filter cleaner, but that's the reasoning I use for having it. I cleaned the S&B filter for the first time when I had the snorkel installed which meant it had been installed and uncleaned for 5 years. I do run S&B's pre filter wrap as well, I've cleaned that about once a year, which hasn't changed since installing the snorkel two years ago. For time basis, I bought the truck in July 2018, the S&B was the first thing I installed in August 2018, and the snorkel was installed August of 2023.

 

Love it.

 

Checked all the bolts. Checked upper control arm and the 2 lower bolts (221ftlbs) all where they should be. Lower control arm and tie-rod look good. Cotter pin has no signs of moving. I didn’t have extra so I didn’t really want to take them out. The back and forth clunk noise is the steering column. So the whole thing is moving. The tie rod does have a bit of grease leak. So not sure if this is serious issue I should address, or just keep an eye on it? No noise while driving and turning. Thanks @BR73 and whoever else told me to check the bolts. I can’t find your reply.
