What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Did the DIY uninstrut bed rail mod and starting to rough in some attachments. Still need to get the correct bolts, more paint, etc. had to lower everything because of the tonneau cover.

 

So its not screwed into the legs of the seat. The wood is behind the legs and the metal screwed into the wood holds the pressure?

 

Correct. Nothing is screwed into the legs of the seats. Wood strip on the back, aluminum on the front so the seat legs are just pinched in between using the screws.

 

So not what I have done this time but what I am looking to do....Have 2019 DC SR5 and looking at upgrading the shocks. Don’t want to lift the truck except for leveling the front end but also as far as upgrading the ride quality goes will the 5100’s make a big difference over stock and also will replacing the rear shocks make a difference over just doing the fronts? I mainly just drive on city/highway roads and occasionally pull a 20’ boat to on longer lake trips. Or is there something better than the 5100’s for similar cost? Any advice would be appreciated....suspensions are not in my wheelhouses of expertise.

 

Nice work! Were the terminals hard to install? I am looking at the upgrade kit from @sdhq_offroad and might pull the trigger.

 

I thought they would be when I opened the package, but it was super easy. I made sure that I put the anti seize stuff they give you on each bolt thread. You'll have a few extra pieces, but the Taco and 4runner use those.

 

Thanks for the reply! Ordering now.

I have ditch lights I'd like to install - is it pretty easy to hook them up to the terminals?

 

I'm hooking up all my stuff this weekend. They give you a few connection points on the terminals. I still need to hook up my Spod, then my Rigid D-SS ditch lights, followed by C4 fabrication hybrid bumper with the Warn EVO VR12S, and my Rigid SAE SR-30" light bar. Along with a few other goodies....lol

 

Will definitely keep an eye out.

Thanks!

 

Finally got around to lifting my truck and putting on it's new shoes. 3 inch lift. Fuel vectors 18x9 +20. Toyo open country rts 35/12.5/18. Really digging the new look. Next is swapping in the red grill and putting on the matching bumper overlays.

 

Looks awesome!

 

I appreciate it! It came out just the way I wanted, with all the help and knowledge from the community in this forum!

 

Added new tires, 275/70r18 KO2s. Back-flip Tonneau cover, 5% tint all around, TRD Pro and Tundra inserts, and predator steps. Got the initial expensive stuff out the way. Ordered Oh sh*t handle, led lights, and center console divider. In the next month or so I will order a light bar and AJT goodies to de-chrome some of the interior.

No telling what else I will order because of this place.

 

Getting a rock chip repaired, I thought for sure it did more damage.

 

I've always thought of Fuels as gaudy wheels that every bro puts on his lifted Chevy or Dodge but I'll be damned, that setup gives me something to consider. Looks great, dude.

 

Found a little snow today.

 

Where did you find the snow?

 

Max Patch in Madison County.

 

They must have got snow instead of all the rain.

 

Any reason you didn’t go 285 on the tire?

 

Did you remove the tow hooks to paint them?

 

Yes. 2 bolts each. 17mm. My Pro came with a TRd skid plate so the bolts came off really easy. I’ve heard a breaker bar may be needed.

I sprayed them with primer first then painted them with the red.

 

Great thank you, I’ll do them this summer, I like the red, looks good.

 

Yeah it’s subtle. Nothing too flashy. I like the results

 

It will usually snow up there when it is raining at the house. It's a nice little ride and you can walk up on top of Max Patch. I've seen 6 foot snow drifts there before.

 

Color matched surround from Roman, red LED light bar

I have the color match bulge, just didnt get time to install b4 kids got home!!!

 

Installed the rear sway bar today

 

Fear, which is very unlike me, and the fact I got the tires for $125 each, free mount and balance and alignment, I went that size. I do kind of wish i went up, but next go round I will have the coachbuilder kit on and go 295 or 35 depending on when I can get the Coopers or these again as cheap as I did.

 

ANYTHING you do, even stuff from the mfg, may be illegal depending on your state. Per PA inpection manual, pretty much everything is "illegal".

MY LEDs are off road use only
