What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

They stick out far enough to use as a step. The dimple die panel was added for traction when stepping on them to enter/exit the truck and/or get on the roof if you have a basket or bed rack.

 

Finished one side and tonneau on.

 

i added 6112's yesterday as well.

 

Very curious how you like the Rigid lights. Did you go with the SAE fogs or D2's, etc?

 

Blacked out the tail lights and the third brake light

 

What did you use?

 

Was only successful in getting the aFe on tonight finally. Pods will be tomorrow. I'll double check what I ended up deciding on when I have the box with me. I took the recommendation from my parts manager. I want to say they were SAE, but I'll confirm once I've verified.

 

Got a few more toys on today... still a hand full to go.

Here is today's success.


Paint matched my sway bar... I couldn't do the TRD Red with everything on my truck looking a certain way.


Door sills on


Window visors were put on while the wife was at her dr's appointment. People kept looking at me when I was doing this in the parking lot.



Sway bar on and noticed the difference like right away.


aFe exhaust... sounds oh so nice.



Upcoming projects... painting the tow hooks, LED bed lighting kit, fog pods and some new shoes. Ko2. Then it's the TRD Grille and headlamps. Just need time to get these off my basement floor and onto the truck.

 

Thanks for the reply, how do you like the aFe so far?

 

I've had it for only about 2 hours of driving, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the sound of it honestly. I'm a 34 year old man (some would argue that) who became a 12 year old boy when I got it rumbling down the road. Now I just want reasons to accelerate lol.

I plan on blacking the rest of the pipe, and really liked the black tips it came with. The sound is a bit more throaty I find vs the TRD, which were about the same price when I was pricing them. So it came down to the sound and the look for me.

 

@Krezz I would feel the same way! Thanks for the info and I'm glad you like it. An exhaust is on my long list, I probably won't be getting one for a while, but I like hearing feedback on different setups.

 

Done and done

 

Pulled that POS IBC and installed my P3. Thanks to ESP for the clean trim piece.

 

@RowdyRon , did you soak them in hot water afterwards? It shrinks the 550 parachord and tightens it up around the handle.

 

Put new rubber on her!



Bilstein 5100's are next to level it out

 

Where did you get those door sills? Truck is looking good!

 

Just bought the Husky X-Act floor liners. Tomorrow I'm buying the EPS under seat storage in plastic. Now the waiting to get them in, ha.

 

Greased my driveline. Well, 4 out of the 5 zerks. Need to order a 90 degree fitting for that last bastard.

 

Yesterday I got new tires, today I received and installed the TRD Pro Grille. I also installed the LED headlights in my Spyder projectors that I've been holding on to (figured I'd have the grille off when I got the TRD Pro grill anyway).

 

I had my DirtyDeeds exhaust system installed last Friday and I must say it sounds great keith is the man I ordered it from him on Tuesday and it was delivered to me that friday 3 days later I couldn't believe when I seen the fedex guy at the door thanks keith I have noticed a drop in mpgs since the install it must be partly my fault it I went from 14mpg to 12mpg anybody else notice a change in mpgs after installing exhaust?

 

Do you think your lift might have had something to do with your MPG drop off as well?

 

well I had my lift for about 2 weeks and I did notice a drop in mpgs I lost about 1.5-2mpgs with the lift and wheels but after I added the exhaust it dropped like 2 more mpgs @r4z0r51o

 

Wow, I'm only averaging about 14 mpg now. If I lost 3.5 to 4 mpg due to a lift and exhaust I'd cry.

No noticeable loss in mpg with my TRD dual exhaust.

 

Jinx has come a long way! Installed the Spyder headlights and the TRD Pro grille today

 

Looks good! Is that vinyl wrap on your hood? I like it..

 

Good to have both options. I like it!

 

I've been trying to remove my stock grille so I can place on my TRD one as well... the issue I'm having is being able to unclick the bottom from their mounts. What tactic did you guys use to complete this? I've watched a couple videos but still can't seem to see what I"m doing wrong. I was able to successfully remove the 4 screws and 2 clips above, just the bottom won't detach.

Thanks for any tips and advice.

 

Yes it is, thanks

 

In this link their is a video from Toyota, just in case you haven't seen that one. Not much else I can say.
