What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I've been using them in TX and like them due to driving on senderos with mesquite thorns, everyone else seems to get flats and these KO's keep on going, I think because of the extra ply's. Not sure about other tire brands when somehting works I don't want to change.

 

I got tired of installing the SpiderTrax spacers every time I swapped tires, so I just ordered a set of Method MR315’s for my 295/70R18 Cooper STT Pro’s.

Installed the factory bed rail system. Had to chase the mounting holes because of the spray in bedliner, but overall an easy 30 minutes. If the heat dies down the rear swaybar will be on the agenda for this evening.

 

Take them to a shop. Shouldn't be more than a couple hundred $ for them to do it, and they'll be able to get the right paint to match correctly.

 

Looks good. Stock suspension?

 

I did the automatic opening tailgate mod

 

Looks like all your missing is the Grey tri color badge and you'll have a fully finished truck.

 

Thanks. 2” lift in the front and 3/4” shackle in the back with 295/70r17 tires.

 

Changed my oil with Kirkland 0w-20. Going to start using that every 5-6k miles. $24.99 for 10 qts you can’t beat that. Also changed my driver side cv axle.

 

They have to source that out. I'd be interested to see who actually makes it. If it's Mobil like oem toyota then you've got an awesome deal.

 

What aftermarket horns did you swap out for the "toys r us" sounding ones that came with the truck? lol

 

which one is this? been thinking about pulling the trigger on this style tent!

 

So awesome! I will have to copy your idea with drilling those holes. Seems way easier to connect than the routing I did downward beneath the lense seam on mine.

 

Busy weekend. Hand wash, clay bar and waxed. Painted the factory 20" wheels and added some tvd vinyl. Loving the way the red pops with voodoo.

 

Changed my C4 front bumper for one with light bar cutouts, added Baja Designs 30" Amber S8 Drive/Combo lightbar and Rigid 360 series 6" driving lights.

 

pulled the tube steps off today! looks less like a grandpa truck now haha

 

Looks great. What was your process?

 

If your asking about the detailing I don't do any special. Just hand wash with a mit and Chem bros soap then meguairs clay bar and wax

 

No sir, sorry. The process you used to paint your wheels? Plasti dip etc. I’m gearing up to paint some chrome/black trim pieces cement color matched. Since I’ll be spraying some crazy 2k auto clear coat from the sound of it, I might attempt wheels also.

 

I went with amber

I wash the wheels first with dish soap the scuff with a maroon 3m pad then self etching primer followed by paint and clear coat. All the paint I used was duplicolor wheel paint. I've done this before on several vehicles and it looks great and is very durable.

 

In my experience, I've always left painting to the professionals - and reputable professionals at that. It's just too much work and the margin for error is so thin, I've learned that it's better to hire someone than to try it myself, fail, and then hire someone anyway. Buy once cry once!

 

Thanks again for your help in the original thread!

 

bring them where you toyota dealer brings their cars for corrections after crashes, they will do it just fine. I had to paint match some mirror caps before, it was maybe 5 years ago and for a sedan, but it was surprisingly cheap.

 

same I ordered the amber.

 

Got her a little dirty yesterday and earned a few battle scars on the trd skid plate. That's what it's there for

 

Drove it down to Kill Devil Hills on one tank. Sucks filling it up, but it sure is nice knowing I can wait to find cheap gas and not scrambling on empty.

 

Just seems to ride better when she's clean and looking good! Almost 9k on the clock now and still loving her as the day she came home!

 

I hear that. I filled up in Cleveland and made it to NJ/NY/PA borders to fill up. The gas in Pennsylvania was 35 to 40 cents more per gallon ....that's just crazy.

 

I should have stated, cheaper, not cheap. Md is pretty high also. As soon as you hit VA, it drops almost .20.
