What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Drove it to work today. Just like every other day.

First post on the forum--thanks to all the members who detail their work so the rest of us can shamelessly copy. New owner of a 2021 Tundra as of a couple months ago.

So far:
Driver's side grab handle (Thanks Terndrerrr!)
ESP under seat storage
Transmission cooler added
Fox TRD Pro struts/shocks
RAS
RCI Skids
285/65/20 Duratracs

 

Nice! I got the full Alpine kit arriving tomorrow including the center dash speaker. Looking forward to have a bit better sound coming out. Also learned about and going to do the stock amp bypass at the same time thanks to @1lowlife for helping me understand that bit.

Do you have an aftermarket head unit?

 

New steering wheel looks great! What is that wrap on the inlays?

 

Thanks! I bought those separately from Yota Xpedition LLC online.

 

Awesome truck! Great build so far!

 

It's just started

 

Welcome to the madness...

 

I appreciate the offer, but I think I'll pass. Lol

 

Awe shucks, well if you get bored and change your mind you know how to get ahold of me

 

Finally did the coolant drain and fill.

The no spill funnel worked great.

 

love those rims!

 

Dropped the truck off yesterday to start the gear install.

 

Skid plate trimmed for the 295s & painted flat black, tow hooks done and TRD pro center caps to complete my red accents.

 

Yes. I have the 11” Alpine and a full install. I dragged my feet on the dash speakers long enough.

 

Got the old girl a little face lift. Now I just have to find a TRD Sport Emblem to fill the hole. I had been sitting on a genuine Toyota Hood Bulge for like a year and a half and got tired of waiting for TRD Pro Grilles to come back in stock, so I said fuck it and pulled the trigger on a $176 TRD Sport Grille from Ebay and am very please with the results.

 

Very nice!

 

Thank you!

oil change. just rolled 145k miles.

 

Where’d you get the grille surround?

 

I love that look!!!!!

 

Did mines too a couple weeks ago. HP Tuned to Medium and press the Tow Haul switch for Super Spicy...2 tunes in one! Calibrated it for my TRD exhaust, S&B CAI and 35s. Love it!

The fit isn't 100% perfect, but I'm very happy with it for the price.

Thank you!

 

Oh no you joined the forum! Hahaha

(“Oh no” for your wallet)

I bought that fingerprint Amazon safe.

One left by the way…

EDIT: And they're gone! I'll update with a review when mine arrives. It will replace a 4-digit "bent corner" safe I've had for a few years.
@1790--fore! got his for $33...by the time I looked it up, it had gone up. Wonder if they are just blowing out the last few they'll ever make.

 

Repainted the last piece of trim with SEM Satin Black.

 

Wow. Not sure how that happened.

 

This is exactly what I did with my Tundra. I think the sport grill looks as good if not better than the pro grill.

 

So this listing comes with the grille and all surround pieces except the hood bulge?

Also, appears to be out of stock.

If I have the cruise control sensor, does this still work?

 

That turned out great… hate to say it but I think I like that more than the AJT/Meso trims

 

Not today, but this last weekend I took my new girlfriend out to show her around my mountain stomping grounds. She's big on pretty, open views so I'm more than happy to oblige. We headed up Rollins Pass, just west of Denver. I knew there would be snow, and I doubted we'd make it all the way. About a mile up, I slipped out of the established ruts, and into the deep snow to the right of the trail and high centered on the frame front to rear.



As you can see, my first attempt was to use the traction boards, but they weren't any help whatsoever. So, I got to use my new winch setup. Money well spent. First pull got me partially out but uprooted the pine I used (RIP). Second pull was successful, and we were back down on our way in no time. Funniest part of the whole situation was that not 5 minutes prior, I was mentioning that I didn't know how far we'd get, but I've got the equipment to get us back out and down so I wasn't worried about getting stuck.





Going up, minimal snow.



Similar spot on the way down once we got free.



Then looking forward less than 1/2 mile later, where I got stuck.



The winch setup worked flawless, but I think I'll be going to a synthetic line as the cable has already formed a memory to the drum and was difficult to free spool out. Also, new tires are definitely on the to do list.
