What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

New shoes on!

 

what steps are those? they look like the westin hdx that i've had my eyes on, but these look to have a little wider step and somehow look a little more subtle and less chunky - in a good way.

 

Rough Country DS2's

I wanted something closer to the cab and more squared off (chunky) in shape. I got a great price on them too...let me know if you want the details.

 

Ba muffler 8 standard, best exhaust out there, theyre having a group buy right now, call keith, solid guy!!

 

Thanks!

 

Or your fishing for whales and need the pulling power.

 

Sure - i see them for $320 on Amazon. Did you get a discount code through a vendor on here?? I like them a lot, but i think my wife would kill me if i spent that kind of money right now. I have my routine of searching for 'tundra' on craigslist auto parts hoping to luck into a set of used ones that look OK.

 

Really liking that SSBuilt bumper! Your truck looks great. What size tires do you have?

 

Wheels and tires. Technically yesterday

 

Thanks man me too. 305/65/r18

 

Bronze on cement looks really cool.

 

Thank you. I agree haha

 

Installed the ToyTec Boss 2.5 Aluma’s. It rides so much better now.

 

I really like the look of those with the red coil and red anodized cap. How much lift are they set for? Also can you be more detailed in how the ride has changed? Looks awesome
Thanks

 

Since my truck is all black, I decided to install red LED interior lights. My kids refer to it as the “Kylo Ren” truck. Still planning to install red footwell lighting, but it’s on back order from VLEDS.

 

Thanks. They do look great, especially with quicksand. ToyTec said 3”. They were a hair shorter than the stock CO’s with the spacers but the truck is sitting a bit higher right now. I imagine it’s because of the 700lb springs and may change as they break in. It rode a bit stiff/hard with the spacers, but handles and rides much smoother now. Definitely not as soft as it was when it was stock. I’ll know more later, I’ve only driven it 20-30 min and definitely not off-road yet. So far, I am happy with it though.

 

did you use the relay that came with them? I opened the box this morning ad all that was in there were the 2 horns and a relay.

 

Is that an OEM sensor cover? I was thinking about going with a pro grill, but the price for sensor is just as much as the grill.

 

Joined the club. Not today, technically, but this weekend. Traded in a 2018 4Runner TRD Premium, good to be in a V8 again!

2020 Cement DC Limited 4x4

 

Welcome!

 

Can these be installed with a leveling kit?

 

Welcome from MN. Nice truck

 

Just installed Auxbeam LED headlights S1 Series H4 and Caliraised LED Tricolor fog lights. Auxbeam LED headlights are pretty decent for the price. I've had HID's in the past but the simplicity of LED and previous Tundra reviews on them influenced my decision. The Caliraised LED Tricolor fogs are awesome! They switch colors by turning the fogs on and off. Pretty decent light output too. Overall I am pleased with my decisions for these headlights. Budget friendly but good quality for what you pay.

First pic is bright white and matches the LED headlights.
Second pic is amber.
Third pic is combination amber and white.

My truck is leveled with 5100 shocks and has the TRD rear sway - since the front already has a sway bar I see no reason why the TRD front sway would cause an issue.

 

Yes it is an OEM sensor. Didn’t want to mess with or mod around TSS system.

Around $850 in total, but hopefully will be able to sell stock SR5 honeycomb grille for $300 to make up for it. If anyone’s interested in a 2019 grille, Denver message me!

 

Imagine the holy transition from 2016 Tacoma's 3.5L V6 to 5.7L V8!

 

I can imagine man! My friend drives a 2018 with the 3.5... not sure what a car engine is doing in a truck!

 

No tricks, pretty straight forward with the sensor. Disconnect harness via "Tundra" faceplate located on top of grille. Removed associated bolts and push pins that hold the grille in place. Give it a tug. Disconnect sensor wiring retention pins. The one under the stock grille sensor (see picture) gave me trouble because you cant access the retention clips directly, only from underneath. To bypass this I was going to remove the stock grille sensor to get at it - DO NOT DO THIS. The metal "nuts" will break off (see white plastic). Instead just keep getting at the clip from the rear opening.

 

Is this a substantial amount more light than factory bulbs on your 2020?
I have always been impressed by the stock light output on my 18’ but could always use more light

 

I've had the auxbeam headlights and foglights in my truck for about a year now and been pretty happy with them. haven't had anyone flash me with them at all either from highway, interstate, and city driving. I will say, I'm not impressed with the brights layout, but where i drive, i pretty much never need/want them anyway. pretty happy with them. looks good man!
