What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

The blue up front is definitely illegal while driving but I did it for truck shows. I talked to the DPS and the red rear facing light is completely legal to run on the rear. Texas law is anything red or amber is legal for the rear and amber or white is legal up front. So I could have done the white Radiance up front and it would be legal for driving.

 

I originally wanted to install the light directly against my bed but in order to keep it tight I installed it up to set the light farther against the truck. I really just wanted the red Radiance for a back light as a show pc.

 

I also wrap it up haha... I went with SunTek, love it.

 

The coilovers finally got rebuilt along with new springs swapped in. These are 800lb-rated KINGs and a huge upgrade from the stock ICONs; a much needed modification to handle all the extra weight on the front end of the truck -- the blue color is a bonus.

 

Looks awesome. I have Kings 2.5s on order and trying to be patient. I am torn on the 600lb vs 700lb. Any word of advice for a daily driver looking for more capabilities on the occasional weekend outing?

 

If you don't plan on getting a steel bumper or winch up front, stick with the 600. That's more than enough for the stock front-end without making it rough.

 

Added a Extang Solid Fold tonneau cover I picked up on craigslist for $250

 

Thanks, I am considering a bumper eventually but the weight is about 95 to 135lbs. I don't think that should have too much affect.

 

Yea, you'll be fine. I went with the 800lb springs because of the +210lbs from the bumper/winch and a bunch of other parts that the front suspension will carry ~50% the weight of (such as the roof rack, sliders, skid plates); plus, I didn't want to crank the coilovers all the way down. They were at almost 3" of thread showing with the old springs. With the new springs they're at about .5" or less.

 

just finished swapping stock lights for Spyder's Light Bar series...fender flares from last week...and stealth light bars. No pics of night-time though with light bars on

 

Winterizing with a nice cigar. Three stage wax

 

Just this today...5000 miles

 

I have been thinking about those tail lights a lot, haven't been able to pull the trigger. Let us know how they work out.

 

Sprayed Fluid Film under the truck, took off the Iron Cross steps and put my winter (OEM) running boards on. I need to wash/wax then I will be ready for winter.

 

I washed my truck for the first time.....Feel like driving a cleaner truck.....

 

I just ordered a pair looked cheapish at first but now I've seen guys on here with it on the truck and they look nice

 

Just read up on that fluid film @MotoTundra seems like good stuff.

 

I do like the led running light look, I might go with a pair that's got the dark tint.

 

I'm just gonna get them tinted most likely

 

Wow that's purdy!

 

If it prevents any rust, it's worth the money and hassle. I have been through 3 winters so far and I think fluid film is doing a good job. The only places I have a bit of rust are places I missed or places paint has chipped under there. I just use rattle cans, some guys use a sprayer with an air compressor and drill holes to spray inside places. I'm not that thorough, yet anyway.

 

Got my front coilovers on to match the rear shocks. yay!
That's the TRD spring and the Toyota Performance shock to replace the non-TRD spring and the black Tokico "squishy" shock.

 

I have three cans that I have yet to get under there and do. Everybody says it's good stuff to hold off the rust...

 

I would give it a whirl. I have to say I used a respirator, Tyvek suit, and eyewear this time, it made a huge difference. I felt like I was working for NASA, but it was really nice not breathing it in and getting it all over my face and clothes.

 

Dipped the grille black from dark grey.

 

Hey I'm curious how you wired the rear light. I like this location a lot! Also awesome how it's legal to have the red illuminated in the rear.

 

Thanks Ron

 

One side down, one to go. Prepping for when I go to a larger tire.
