What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Tow mirrors with smoked lens installed!

 

Everyone doing all kinds of mods. I'm pretty much done with mine. Just enjoying driving it.

Washed it Friday. It stayed clean for a few days. Already rained again.

“pretty much done with mine”...

 

where did you relocate the white box to?

 

Best window visor? I dont want the round ones you have to fold back up. I like the solid one that fold across. Anyone recommend what they use and like?

 

Man, that is a beautiful truck!

 

Yeah, I considered it but went ahead and sold it to a better home. I am happy with stock exhaust.

 

Got a teaser pic of the seats that will be arriving Thursday! Turned out even better than I had imagined, can't wait to get them installed in the truck this weekend (at least the back seats, may not get to the fronts until the following weekend)

 

if you’re referring to the windshield sunshade...

my personal favorite is from “Heat Shield Store” (heatshieldstore.com), similar can be had from weathertech. I’ve had my hands in the CoverCraft visors and are fairly impressive as well, not sure of long term durability for the CC units, but Ican personally attest to owning the HSS units for 10+ years of daily use.

Yes, that's what I meant, ha. My brain is still asleep. Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

 

I have a set coming in soon as well. Be sure to document how you did it and post the "how-to", ha. Looks good!

 

I will do that to the best of my ability. Fingers crossed I don't screw something up with this whole process. I had to redo my cushion in my '08 Ram 2500 so I know I can take a seat apart and put it back together again.

Put these shackles on today. It’s purely cosmetic for my use

 

WKOR sliders installed. Went back to the website for install directions and also noticed the price has gone up, kind of figured that was coming with the way metal prices have been.

 

Yep. I bought a WDH in Dec for $265. I looked today to send the link to someone and now it starts at $345

 

Just ordered my wireless charging tray from sparks parts, FINGERS CROSSED my truck get delivered today! I keep staring out the window waiting for it to arrive

 

You better order cat plates for it. Cali is a high theft area for them.

 

yeah we have had a few of them come though the dealership. ive personally handled about 20 of them on the prius, a handful on sequoias, and 2 on the tundras. www.getcatsecurity.com is supposed to be coming out with a cat shield for the Tundra soon

 

There is a vendor here in the forum that makes them already. Now I'm just waiting for someone to make one for the 4Runners before they start getting hit.

 

No just the front. Sorry I guess I should have clarified.

 

Wrote up my front camera install

From that article: "When the air is cooler, it contains more oxygen."

I'm having a very hard time with that statement. I would be curious to know the reasoning behind that statement. Complete with references.

My older brother inherited the Steinway that my dad rebuilt back in the 70's - about 2,500 rolls with it, split between standard and Duo-Art. He's been muttering about repairing the player action (FINALLY - after 20+ years!) and is talking about thinning down the herd of rolls. Told him I want first dibs. Pity I won't be able to talk him out of The Midnight Fire Alarm or Wedding of the Winds - he loves those rolls as much as I do.

 

Doesn't the button next to it already do that?

 

Its a simplification of the Ideal Gas Law. The cooler the temp, the more O2 modules in the same volume of air.

 

Density of air increases when cooled and decreases when heated. Hot air balloon?
How is this?

It’s an override to do what the other button does, but on the fly, with only one push, instead of stopping and holding factory button a few seconds, letting off and holding a few seconds again.

 

This is one quickie, and it is completely unrelated to engines, but it's well known that all engines make more power when the air is cooler. This is why computer controlled engines have an IAT or air intake temperature sensor so the computer can compensate as needed based on air temp. This is also why people put cold air intakes on vehicles to increase power output.


Cooler air is more dense than warmer air. Warm air can actually hold more moisture because molecules are farther apart, making more room for moisture. Cold air is dense and compact; it's "thicker," so when you breathe in you get more oxygen. Thicker air also means there's more for a crane's wings to push against.

I like the NASA reference better than my Whooping Crane one lol.
