What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Killed two birds with one 14mm socket.

I unbolted the drivers seat leaned it over and went medieval on the seat belt buckle. NO CHIME NO SEAT MOVING. "MY WORST POST EVER"

 

Always love the look of that front TRD sway bar.

 

Finished off the front end transformation today.....did the black OEM LED headlights 2 weeks ago and got around to the rest today.
Color matched bulge, surround and TRD Pro grille, gloss black bumper shells, OEM LED fogs and wired in the amber running lights.
Loving the new look!

 

Well thats frustrating!!! But the only thing done to her today

 

Ruh roh... hoping that’s only a 9/16” truss head screw, but kinda doubt it.

 

Always a bummer when you find something in a tire.

 

Shouldn't that be in the "What makes you angry" thread?

 

I did a couple upgrades today.

-Added a little Toyota history to the grill.

-Installed the wireless charger in the armrest.

-Added the Dual USB rapid charger.

-All new LED interior lights
including VLEDs footwell lights. Also changed out the cargo, puddle, and reverse lights with LEDs.

 

Installed some bedlights today

 

Installed some 6112, CB shackles and shims (driver side) and 5100 in the back.

 

Could you feel a difference when you put on sway bars?

 

The front of your truck is badass dude.Im liking that bumper a lot.

 

Yeah, it's a very noticeable difference. The truck barely leans taking a turn at 15mph

 

Looks great. I guess Ill be getting a car dolly and get under there and start cleaning. I want my underside to look like that.

 

I kept my swaybars on after I got lifted. They just look to good to remove. I was thinking about painting mine blue when I get my Kings.

 

I need all those switches and lights.Must be nice on backroads.

 

How???

 

What bar you got up front?
Truck looks great!!!

 

Nice! I was going to paint mine but I got a great deal to have them installed. In the future when I put on a lift and am working on the suspension I might paint them blue as well. Keep us posted if you do it!

 

Is that the emblem off Amazon? Was thinking about grabbing one too

 

absolutely, they come in handy for sure...a lot of back roads with tons of deer going to/from local lakes, the lights literally turn night into day...haha

 

So I added rock lights, bed lights, fog lights and led lights inside truck this weekend. I'm pretty happy except I got two different white lights for the rock lights but that will be fixed shortly.

 

It's the Westin Ultimate bull bar with a set of Westin HyperQ LED cubes.
I didn't like the brushed steel skid plate so I pulled it and painted it with a satin black Acylic enamel.
The bar itself fits nice on this truck...tight to the bumper. I don't like them at all visually on stock height trucks. I think they are at home on lifted trucks with some stance where they enhance that beefy look up front.
It's taken a deer impact already and the skid plate is a little bent and the left side mount tweaked a bit but the bumper didn't take a hit.

 

I bought my 2018 Tundra used with 38K miles. I tried to unlock the door using the key and it wouldn’t work. I found something on another site that was very helpful. If you have this problem, you can fix it without having to take off the door panel.

Discussion Starter • • ...The lock cylinder has a rod with a swivel on it that had fallen out of the little cross looking fitting on the power lock assm. I actually didn't have to pull the panel to fix it come to find out. The easy fix would've been to pull the T30 torx on the edge of the door under the grommet and then using the key turn the lock cylinder to unlock and the cylinder comes right out. I then just had to realign the cross on the rod with the female cross on the power lock assembly. Maybe this will help anyone with this problem.
Happy trucking campers

 

It is actually very rewarding . Take one piece at a time and keep going.

 

Just a wet rag and elbow grease.
And this is no pavement princess. It spends some time in the mud and dirt.
I spray it with a pressure washer regularly and I do drive through car washes with the undercarriage spray option. That makes it easier when I do get under there with a rag and start wiping.

 

Nothing big, but a wash and wax, and then this little number on the grill.

 

Which system did you go with 6 or 8? Hows the sounds/loudness?

 

Installed bed tie downs - found some with a slightly bigger hole in them that didn’t require boring out the hole. Decided to put them on top of the washers, which turned out to be a bit of a chore since the washers are “captured” but managed to use an old dull hole saw as a sleeve to push them off (and get them and the anchor back on).


Also put one of two window stickers that I plan on installing. I’ve been with them since ‘97 and my blood runs pretty green at this point. This one I’m sure gained me at least 1HP.
