What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

So don't Gino, sometimes you just gotta go with ur instincts and live dangerously lol. I'm pretty sure one of these days my brother is gonna regret ever giving me 1 of his gold cards. Lol

 

Haha, I know it seriously looks so badass without a plate.

 

Pick up my mom from the hospital a while back...i failed to measure. Looked wayyyy close. It was. I scraped on the plastic warning sign then proceeded to be that guy and almost got stuck. Ended up backing up the way I came.

 

Made a Christmas card

 

Looks Amazing

 

Cute.

 

Not bragging here just figured I'd let u guys in on something. After a foot of snow and them not even touching the hill in front of my house I watched a plow truck, I think a big Chevy attempt to get up my hill.
After about 5 attempts with no luck he stopped to put chains on. After struggling another 5 times with chains he finally got up it to the top. Even with it plowed he struggled a bunch of times with chains. When he was all done he says to me good luck I don't know how you're gonna get up it with your truck. I told him besides driving a Tundra I was hoping the expensive Pitbull Rockers would get me up it.
Moment of truth, after watching him struggle so bad I gotta admit I was a bit nervous and feeling like 50/50 chance I could make it. I jump in turn off traction control, put it in 4 high and give it hell with my family anxiously all watching out the windows. Very first shot I flew up the hill, got a bit sideways for a second but I came up it so easy I felt I might not have even needed 4 wheel drive since the tires were gripping so much.
Point of my story, I've said it before but feel I need to reiterate, these tires are ridiculous. So much so I was gonna buy my next set the last time Pitbull ran a big sale like xmas in July. The only problem, I dont know what is going on with their company. I read horror stories online. I've left numerous messages and emails with no reply which has me second guessing buying another set from them. Now I'm at the point of trying to figure out what other tires I should go with next when these run out. I'm open to suggestions. It's a shame because these tires by far have the best most insane amount of traction in every possible condition. Wish I could get another set. Again not bragging, just letting you guys know if you can get a chance at buying these tires feel good about jumping on it.

 

MGMs have great traction in the snow.

 

almost - but not quite - as good as cement

 

Haha that's funny, so funny but so true lol

 

Now that's funny.

 

I'm glad my SSM has no reason to worry about traction in the snow!

 

Come visit.

 

I got 5100's installed at the middle setting on Tuesday. Driver side door sustained paint and sheet metal damage during the install or in the lot of the shop, so now the truck is away at the body shop getting some bondo and then re-sprayed. I'll post my before and after photos on level ground when I get it back. Here's an 'after' photo on uneven ground. I think I have a slight rake which is what I was looking for. I drove it in heavy snow and had no sensor issues, so that's a plus.

 

I haven't been this excited since I turned 21 and was able to legally buy alcohol. Thanks Keith!

 

Did the shop take responsibility for the damage?

 

Yeah, they did.

 

tell me about it..I need to wait for my coworker so he could spot me, I just don’t wanna be the employee who busted the sprinkler head

Our garage is 6’7” but I grabbed a tape measure and it’s a false signage haha. It’s 7’ so i still have some few inches to work with..

One of contractor hit our sprinkler system.. Someone was not happy that day

 

Swapped out some of the chrome out. I'll finish the rest of it at some point, but man was this a PITA to install. I really hope that AJT Designs will invest some of their holiday profit into some quality instructional videos. Great product but absolute trash instructional videos. It took WAY longer than it should have.

 

What took the longest? I've done the cup holder and shift bezel from AJT and was thinking about doing the climate knobs.

 

The climate knobs, IMO

 

This past week: ARE CX HD Cap install, Lasfit White/Yellow Foglight bulb install and ordered even more parts. Owned this 2021, 2 months and going wild. Build thread should be ready after New Year.

 

Haven’t posted the setup but this is how I have my ICS Dash Mount. The phone mounted is just for an example.

 

That’s exactly why I made my own step by step videos, theirs aren’t that great at all...haha

Here’s my video on the climate control knobs if it would help, honestly not that bad...I have videos on all their products, shoot me a message if I can help ya out!

cant hurt me. one of my favorite books I've listened to this year.

 

Yet another shifter handle. I have had the same handle on most of my cars since 1995. Had a dog named Indy at the time.

 

Looks like the old original Hurst shifter handle!

 

Small differences, but yes. Nice to rest my arm on while driving.

 

Went to the Toyota dealership (Michael's Toyota Bellevue) to get some headlight dust boots for my son's Sequoia and left with these bad boys!
Was talking to the custom shop guys about lifts and installation, which inevitably led to a discussion about wheels, and lo and behold, they have SCS wheels in the warehouse ready to go! Anyone in the Seattle metro/PNW area that wants some SCS wheels today, they have a few sets in stock. They have some SR8s and Ray 10s in a few different colors for the Tundra. As of a few hours ago they had one more set of the bronze Ray 10s. A $30 dollar trip for dust boots turned into quite a bit more, but man, super psyched to have my hands on some bronze Ray 10s! FWIW, the staff there were super helpful, great bunch of people!

Now off to the tire store to see about getting these mounted up!
