What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I have been rear-ended by these distracted drivers and even had my left elbow clipped while riding my bike to the trail, I'm for as much punishment as possible for them.

The guy that clipped me on my mountain bike even had the audacity to stop, check his mirror, then flip me off as he drove away further up the road. I was almost close enough to get his plate, when he sped away.

 

i like this. i do personally prefer to keep a hitch on to help protect me and my truck. i've had one person tap me in the back on an off ramp with my hitch. it broke her grille/bumper, but didn't phase me. i do like the tow and stow though. it saves my (an others') shins as well as still protects the truck (to an extent obviously)

 

caught some heavy rain and took a pic on my way to the gym during lunch.


then on the way back i drove through cracker barrells' parking lot. i have 7.75" of sidewall on my tires. this was with the lower part of the wake pushed out. so their parking lot prob had about 9 or 10" of standing water!

 

49... feeling like 79 after being air lifted from a Mustang GT total. Plus a few bad atv and dirt bike landings from pushing too hard. If only I could relive some of that and have slowed down just a tad when I was younger ...

 

What do these do?

 

Great shot !

 

Giving away any fishing equipment ?

 

The only problem with leaving your hitch in, especially a drop hitch, is that you create a lever that can cause frame damage due to the bend moment, that you might not get if you are hit straight on the hitch receiver without that applied lever force.

 

with me lifted up, i know that's an option and possible. i'm with the mindset that leaving it in is for starters, easier than taking it in and out each time having it bobble around wherever i decide to throw it. secondly, if something/someone hits it hard enough, it won't matter and that will all be replaced anyway. i'm with the mentality that this will stop a lower car from going further under my truck causing more damage to me, but also quite possibly them ending up with a bumper in their face. could I be wrong about all of this...absolutely....i'm married. lol. but yea, i've considered that it's very possible for me to be wrong about all of my "educated assumptions", but have opted to keep it like this believing this works better for me and my scenarios

 

Exactly 2 months and 1 day since the order was placed. Finally

 

Hahaha...we do have a major giveaway coming up, can’t give away all the details but the winners will be happy for sure...almost at 5k, it’ll be happening as soon as I hit that bench mark!

 

That's awesome, your son is going to love it. He and I seem to have the same priorities . The tundra is by far my favorite car and there's just so many possibilities when it comes to builds and things you can do. I bet it takes him 3 seconds!

 

I just started scrolling through the pictures and as soon as that one makes the screen "Whoa! Look! It's a Gallardo! How cool is that?!?!". 3 seconds at the most. Haha!

 

I I subscribed today so one closer....

 

How much of a pain was it?

 

Auto one touch and remote windows.

Was getting tired of hunting for things at night in the cavernous pit we call a center console. Installed small LED lights and a switch to light up the pit by tapping into power from the cigarette charge port.

 

Wut dat needle fer? That a thermometer? You fry turkeys in that cavernous pit?

New bug deflector

Tires, Bilstein 5100's, and airbags to be installed over the next few weeks

 

Today in my Tundra, I turned up the bass and played this song after work. Sounds best in a SILVER Tundra, of course:

I'm in shock. Someone owns a Gallardo and only has 1 interior photo. I know there's not much to it but...1....

JK. Beautiful car.

 

I have that same lock box, it’s awesome! I was just thinking about doing this the other day! Thanks for the reminder! Is the gauge for your airbags?

 

Finally ditched my street tires and went with 275/65/R18 Continental Terrain Contact ATs. She definitely looks more like a truck now!

 

Sooooo, crappy weather but got my Cooper 275/65R20 AT3 LTX’s mounted and finally got my alignment worked out on the 3rd shop, 4th try! Not a bad price either at $259.03 each for a total of $1250 out the door and a pending $70 rebate.

 

I have a ton of exterior shots! I think the outside is more fascinating to look at than the inside haha. For the tundra, I don't think I have any interior shots.

 

Just had my wheels Powder Coated. Changed look of truck.

 

Installed tailgate letters I bought off Amazon. Highly impressed!

A simple but highly satisfying install!
