What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Start small and all succeeding mods will increase in price!! Congrats

 

Installed two one-hundred watt solar panels under the Front-Runner.
Swapped out my old headlights for the 2019 OEM LED versions.
Installed rocker switches.

Pending install: power distribution tray, Bussman relay box, Baja designs ditch lights, KC Gravity LED Pro6

 

Factory is about +50. +17 will stick out a little over an inch but also depends on tire width

 

the rear makes more of a difference but I replaced my stock front with the TRD bar and it helped even more with body roll.

 

Yup, especially with the loctite.

 

Big ol curb rash on my methods. FML!

 

A little more progress on a delayed project.

 

Very clean.

 

Ouch! Bet you had a few choice words when that happened

 

Thanks!

 

Finishing what I started last week…

 

We heard you like skid plates, so we put a skid plate on your skid plate!

 

Last week, did the maintenance on my front and rear differentials and transfer case. My first time doing it so took my time...had a great time doing it. I, also, got the lube gun out and got all 5 lube points very well. Learned a neat trick...leave the truck in Neutral (emergency brake on and chalk the wheels) and then you can spin the axles to get to the right spot. The worst one was to the left of the transaxle...just NO room to maneuver in there but, finally, got the zerk fitting in and got her done.
Next job is transmission filter/fluid drain and fill...got everything from my dealership, just need to get a day off work when the Mrs. doesn't have a huge TODO list for me....

 

in terms of the trans drain/fill....why are you doing it? i'm not knocking, just seen/read mixed things on whether to do it or not. also...how much fluid did you get for it? i've heard those that do a simple drain/fill its only a few quarts (5 i believe) and those doing a drain/flush will need about 12 quarts. thanks for info.

 

I've always kept my Toyota's as long as possible, so do engine oil/filter every 6 months. Transmission (non CVT) gets serviced every 60,000 or 6 years. CVT trannsmissions get serviced every 40,000 or 4 years. Diffs/Transaxles get changed every 30,000 or 3 years. Radiator coolant is (first) at 100,000 or 5 years then every 50,000 or 5 years.
There's no such thing as "maintenance free" unless you don't intend on keeping your vehicle very long.
These services are ridiculously expensive, including brakes so I've learned to do them myself over the years and enjoy it! (I'm a computer/systems engineer at my paying job.)

 

i do all my own maintenance and enjoy doing them. transmission has had me second guess. but recently getting information means i'm going to be getting rid of the tundra and getting something like a new sequoia in 2023 or possibly a yukon xl.

 

Got line-x sprayed in the Bedliner this morning.

 

Ordered Cupholderhero inserts for the truck and the 4Runner.

 

+1 for the mountain bikes!

 

Is this information of the "bun in the oven" variety? If so, Congratulations!


If not, I am confused.

 

if she didn't have the buns she has, we wouldn't be baking our 4th bun right now

 

Color matched bumper end caps.

 

You say 4th, but what if it's twins... or triplets.

It'll be his penance for abandoning the Tundra.
