What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

wow!! looks eye catching now!!

 

Nice! Did you wire the emblem to the parking light circuit or the fuse box?

 

How does the tongue weight scale in these work?

 

Don't think that would fit with the CB Shackles.

 

Looks great! Where did you get the paint from? Got mine from HD was called Sunset Red

 

Parking light. I only wanted it on when my headlights are on.

 

Roger that! Ray did a good job and it looks good. I'm really happy with mine.

 

Looks great!!! Glad you like it!! And thanks for the opportunity to make something cool for your truck!!

 

i so want the emblem with a blue backlight.... it looks good girl!

 

Just do it! All you have to do is sacrifice your camera

 

It's not 100% accurate but it gives u an idea when you're between ur optimal tongue weight for the hitch. It shows between 400-1200 I believe but don't have in front of me at moment. It's pretty simple scale of a screw mounted between a metal bracket slide. 1 on both upper n lower sides of hitch. So basically the screw won't move if less than 400 lbs and will slide as pressure is put on torsion bar. It will slide all the way to other side and stop at 1200 lbs. So it doesn't given an exact readout of tongue weight but it will let u know when you're between those optimal tongue weights for the best ride. The key is getting enough tongue weight to cause the hinges to bend hitting bumps, just not too much over 1200 lbs where u won't get the feel of the spring up effect. Kinda hard to explain but u can prob see it better with illustrations on the gen y website. Theres tons of videos too showing that plusbit in motion. Theres couple people showing youtube videos but they did not get the proper size. They went too big and don't have enough tongue weight to cause it to flex. That's the key. With a 2 inch receiver and our trucks tow ratings that's why I went with 10 k over 16k. I don't think I'd get the proper flex out 16k for some of my lighter tow loads once in while.

 

That Camera is awesome.... it's not going anywhere

 

Sooo happy with the outcome. Light bar will be in tomm, and will be installed sunday!! I saw that some had some issues with rubbing on the grille.. no shims and have plenty of room. Going to attempt to install functioning sensors in the side panels. Anyone tried this yet?

 

How much did that cost total?

 

Like this you mean?

 

Yes!! Why you trying to spending my mom they for me

 

Would look really good painted silver sky metallic...

 

Figured so... just thought I'd take the opportunity to

 

My emblem now is blue lol

 

Thanks for the info, I was worried about having enough tongue weight for the spring effect to work. My camper is a pop up and not very heavy on the tongue so I'm not sure if I would get the full advantage of the torsion system. I'm still shopping for an adjustable hitch setup, I liked the last one you had but looked like it would hang way to low for me and hit on dips, I have been looking at the b&w tow and stow as well. I saw your post on the gen y and it looks good, I think for me I might just get the non torsion offset and then I can add a bike rack when towing the camper. Thanks again for the info!

 

I could also do blue...

 

Will i still be able to use my front camera?

 

My wife just sent me this photo...

 

I have no idea, don’t know what your front camera set up is, how does it look? Where is it mounted? Can you pm me pics and more info?

 

Sure

 

did you do a before MPG?

 

Thanks brotha!
I actually picked it up at AutoZone. They also have 1G3!!!
Just in case u ever had a need to color anything else in the glorious MGM!
I bought a can of it too.

 

I blacked out the shifter n cup holder black, but might color match, but can't find anywhere

 

Let's see the can with bar code so I can go to AutoZone or O'Reilly's or AdvanceAuto

 

Check AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts. Both carry it. If u can't order it online, PM me and maybe we can work something out for me to buy it local and ship it to you.
