What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Damn things would collapsed the dining table lol

 

Yes, this is with stock leaf packs. I tow a lot with the truck, at least weekly if not more frequently, so the original leaf springs were fed up with life after 210k. I scored a sub 10k mile set of leaf packs from my little brother off a '21 crewmax, and swapped them in last year.

 

I made something for you 2.5 gen owners in CAD. The nephew and I are bonding and I've been making side shots of tundras for him to color. Dropping the files to see what you guys think and feel free to compliment or criticize I'm open to both lol. I'm working on a baja 2.5 gen and a crawler but that's gonna be some other day as I need to finish up my beloved 1st gen.

Drawings are scaled to 0.0369, 17" Wheels with stock ride height.

 

Nice! I like em...the tire size changes makes for some fun at stock height, for sure!

 

Porn

 

How are you powering those? Amp or no amp? Just off the radio?

 

Scared the wife.

Was jackassing around today and the truck threw the Christmas tree up on the dash and started shaking real bad. She was convinced I blew the motor. No knock, no smoke, no leaks. Noticed the afr’s were real lean just driving normal. Got home and read the codes. Just a bunch of o2 slow to respond and o2 out of whack stuff. Cleared the codes and did a burn out down the driveway. Back to normal.

WAT valvebody install tomorrow. Then once I get my deposit back, ordering some 880cc injectors and bumping the boost.

 

Here are the measurements for the Coachbuilder Shackles

 

How do you blow a motor with 56k on it?

 

He’s talking about upgrading to the Land Cruiser hvac blower motor. It’s brushless and puts out slightly more air flow.

 

That makes more sense.

 

Finally upgraded from 5100s to 6112s with new ucas (before and after picture is below). The ride difference is insane between the two. Now I’m forever screwed…

 

Off the OEM radio at first then few days later the Sony went in. Made a difference with the OEM and also not pictured is the other Kicker tweeters that were suppose to go on center area but instead went to the corners. Im glad I made the mistake because the corner ones would not both fit in center spot, theyre much bigger.

 

Guilty!

First, you have to like to party. It involves meth, gravity, and a little sucking.

This is how a water/methanol syphoning issue puts 1.15 gallons of boost juice into an oil pan overnight, destroying a perfectly good 61k mile motor.

 

I like to party

 

Where are you located? I’m selling my RAS.

 

Western Washington

Curious why you're selling the RAS?

 

Dropped it off to get the WAT Extreme valvebody install. Should be able to pick it up tomorrow.

 

Got bigger leaf springs and don’t need it anymore.

 

I pulled a ford out not once but twice. His front diff wouldn’t engage.

 

There a road out of frame we can't see? Wife's thinking "if we sell the boat we could have a new truck"

 

Does anyone have a link or experience with a replacement center console cover? My father in laws 2020 SR5 armrest is peeling up in the corner and he's looking for a replacement. I've searched online and Etsy, but the reviews seem to be hit or miss. Hoping anyone here has found one that gave great results. Thanks in advance.

 

Valvebody is done. Shop said everything went smoothly. Can’t wait to drive it tomorrow and see how it runs.

 

I replaced mine a few years ago, with one like this from ebay. I followed a few of the vids on YT. If memory serves, I think leatherseats.com has a YT vid on the replacement process.

Overall, not to difficult. Remove the lid and disassemble. Remove old cover.
Not necessary, but I applied a small layer of foam like this from HL.
Apply new cover, reassemble.
I used weldwood contact cement for the foam and cover.

 

Or you can take it to an Auto upholstery shop to recover

 

Installed left grab handle.

 

What’s the install cost run?

 

Removed the nerf bar style side steps, disconnected the led strip lights that lit them up white when the interior lights were on and yellow when the parking lights were on. IMO they looked really ghetto and I hated the so I was happy to disconnect them. I also disconnected the OPT7 led strip light that was between the tailgate and bumper that was brake, tail, turn, and backup lights. Really didn't like that thing either and I'm glad to have disconnected it. If we can manage to break this pattern of rain I'll take the heat gun to all of them and peel them off.

 

Someone here had one not too long ago. @Cthulhu maybe?

 

There is a road, I was on His driveway. He bought a place out in the boonies. And got his truck stuck trying to park his boat. With all the rain we got, it made the grass/ meadow swampy.
