What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

That woukd be pretty cool. With checkering.....

 

Getting my tires rotated then doing front brakes. Yaaaay!!!

 

Cartrimhome has the window switches with Auto up/down function but they are black. I've never seen anything other than that standard black but you can buy an overlay from eBay to change the appearance. When ordering the new switch just make sure to order the correct one for your Tundra's trim level or you will have issues.

 

Paneling taking shape on pops rig. No more articulation rubbing here.

 

Wow!! Looks great!!

 

do you have a build thread? Front end looks tits.

 

It’s looking great!

 

On that note; does anyone know why every full auto window switch is not compatible with the 1794/platinum and then some aren’t with the Limited either?

 

UPS dropped off OEM paint matched mirror caps and moshimoto wheel spacers.

Did the caps in a few minutes. My 1794 is almost complete as far as paint match goes. I need to figure out what to do with the door handles. Wrap, dip, or paint.

I went to try to install a spacer and realized the front studs are short. So I ordered some.

BUT IMPORTANT SIDENOTE: Anyone have a easy way of mounting large tires? I struggled. My last truck was a Tacoma on 32.5" tires. Last night I dropped the TRD pro wheel on the rotor shield and scuffed the barrel.

LOL!! How about that awesome sticker calling out some bad drivers in the left lane.. That was hilarious, I love it!

 

lol i know it sounds hoity toity, but i had them in my previous cars and its very nice. i bought my wife a new merc and drove it this past week with my truck getting some work done. its amazing what little things you miss that can usually be easily modified.

as an example, this guy did them in red, but i usually get black. other folks get whatever color that ties into the rest of their build. dissent offroad does this as well iirc. i dont care much for the look but the feel. with ford trucks, billet switches are a normal mod.

 

To get my 37s on, I sit on the ground and put the tire on the top of my feet. It’s not too difficult at that point to lift the tire with my feet (keeping heels on the ground).

 

I've never noticed a difference between this and the Platinum grill.

 

I’m eating my words, that looks great!!

Thank you!!

 

Love the sticker on the tailgate, here's mine. We have a lot of middle aged folks on H1-B visas where I live, clogging the left lanes, with Student Driver stickers on their Teslas...

 

I sit on my bony a**, with my legs spread, and the 35x12.50 tire in between. I make sure the lug holes are close to where they need to be, in terms of orientation, then lift the tire in place with my thighs, while I orient it with the lugs, then push on.

6' 220, and 65 years old. If I can do it, who can't?

 

But whos gonna help us get up off the ground?...

 

Sent back the front disk pads I bought from Fred Anderson, as the ones they shipped were off by one digit in the part number, (should have been -02440), but that made all the difference in the world... Great service by Charles Ziegler, at FA, Raleigh!

 

There are a couple of hotties in the 'hood, and it's surprising how limber I can be when they are walking by.

Sure, they stare through me like I'm a ghost, but I'm used to that!

 

Very sad but happy you are ok.

 

Same unit I used in the TRD Pro and posted a page or two back; easy swap out.

 

I installed some new KSP 1.25" spacers and had to order longer studs for the wheel hubs and then trimmed them to the correct length. Also if you have a long pry bar you can get underneath the tire and lift it towards the hub while controlling it with your off hand on top of the tire.

 

65, You young guys kill me, it’s a different world after 70. Your description of the tire mount is the way I do it, but have not had to in years…. I became more regular at lifting weights this year. It’s helped.

 

Been doing it this way since I was 15. 40 now and it still works just the same. And my k5 runs 37” 8 plys with steel wheels and it’s still easy.

 

Not today, but two weeks ago, it got totaled out. Bummer. No kids in the truck thankfully. Just had dropped them off at school and within 10 minutes, boom. All good on my end though. Truck did it's job. Stayed with the Tundra and got me a good ol V6 TT.

 

Got a couple of them myself albeit with much more hair.
