What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Ya, I really didn't need anything just stocked up on some consumables for Camry and Tundra as the price was so good. They already e-mailed me about a filter for the Camry that wouldn't fit and wanted me to reorder or proceed as is and I took the proceed as is.

 

I forgot about the SR5 emblems and trying to find the part numbers for those in black. Here are the others.

Door emblem 5.7 left 75474-0C050
Door emblem 5.7 right 75472-0C070
Tundra left door 75471-0C170
Tundra right door 75471-0C160

 

Well, I’ve been busier than any sane person should be, but that gets a little more personal than this forum would allow.

Took the time to reorganize some of the tools that are always carried in the truck. The previous solution was a hodge podge of hard cases and soft bags. I’ve upgraded to a set of Milwaukee Pack Outs (oooo…bougee) and I love the interlocking capability and ability to secure it due to the softopper.





Then this last weekend, I did my first run with a local 4wd club, The Rising Sun 4x4 club. We did our end of year inspection run on Jenny Creek, one of our clubs NFS adopt-a-trails. It's been well over a decade since I've run this trail, and major reroutes have been done in that time. It was a great trip, I took my dad out with me and both the kids. Dad hasn't been to the area since 1981.

 

Any more pics of the 40 series? Fall colors are looking great!

 

I got shipping confirmation today. Should be here tomorrow or next day. Fluids, filters, wipers.

However, been waiting over a year for white pro grill and bulge.

 

I indeed got the heating version. The next weekend that isn’t occupied with the sons soccer games, I’ll need to binge YouTube videos to get the courage.

 

There happens to be a video on how to deal with the clock spring.I didn't really need the heated steering wheel living in Alabama

 

Must be nice! Wish i didn’t need it lol

 

They are for tritium vials. A TacomaWorld member used to make them

 

Aaaaaaaaaand I just learned something new today.

Awesome.

 

Yeah, looks good

 

Oh yeah baybee! Thanks again for the discount code!!!!

 

Thanks. I also just learned something new today.

 

Ha same. My truck was in a body shop last September/October and they said the white TRD Pro grill was backordered. I assumed they forgot and hoped I wouldn’t follow up. But it’s actually good to hear somebody else is waiting.

 

Like everyone else, I took advantage of the extra 25% off; ordered parts for my (future) 2.5 gen, mom's RX350 and my dad's Highlander, pretty good savings...

 

Man Fred Anderson probably getting hammered. Anybody got their order shipped yet? My local Toyota dealership is usually pretty quick but Fred Anderson was quite a bit cheaper.

 

A couple guys were saying earlier that one had his order shipped quickly, while another one has been I think 3-5 days with it still in the confirmed phase

 

got my brake pads in like 3 days lol was surprised

 

Placed my order at Fred Anderson on 9/12 for the LC blower fan and still says processing.

 

Why not debadge it? Cheaper and cleaner.

 

Fair question! I like a little 'bling', but not too much. I've been back and forth on de-badging vs. blackout or just leaving as is. I rhino lined the front bumper chrome end caps and will be doing the rear soon. Once that's done, I can step back and see how much the chrome badges stick out.

 

They will stick out.

 

Skid of parts number 2 off to @snivilous today. The parts list of things to order is getting close to
final.

 

"The parts list of things to order is getting close to final."

You shouldn't lie to yourself like that! lol

 

He sold the kitchen counter and table to cover the rest lol.

 

You’re not wrong lol

 

Battery mount came in. Plans to relocate it to the bed. Now to source a box for it to live in.

 

I was looking at getting one of these to mount on the front of our travel trailer for the batteries and have room for a disconnect in there too. Might work good for your purposes too.
