What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I’ve been driving my 1st gen more this winter and I gotta say it’s a fun little truck to drive. I’ll pull out the 2.5 gen when the snow melts. Do you guys like the 1st gen toy??

 

Thanks! I actually just got the truck and they we’re already on it

 

I've had mine for over a year, jumped several vehicles and my lawn tractor numerous times. Last week I used it to jump the neighbors van and it still had a 77% charge.

 

Changed the belt after noticing a little noise when it’s wet out. New belt took care of it. Not the easiest belt to route with everything in place but doable.

 

Oh absolutely not. Lol. I can see the marking of the removed vent guard tape. It’s more of an inconvenience, this is all being done in their dime (including initial install, the truck had 3 out of 4 when I purchased a couple weeks ago) so it’ll keep going back until it’s correct. Hoping Monday is last time.

 

Might be their dime, but their incompetence causes you're inconvenience. I'd push for a loaner vehicle until they get it right.
A subtle reminder that you can't give them a 10/10 on the survey without one.

 

very true. Fortunately it has not been the most inconvenient and tomorrows experience and their management of the situation will determine the overall experience. I guess the real win that I get to drive my truck

 

Nice ...did you upgrade the shackles too ?

 

Looks awesome with the reflector !

 

yes they're 2" lift Coachbuilder

 

Finally took off the front bumper to install color matched end caps and complete the front end. How some people say they knock this out in an hour is a bit sus lol

 

Do you suggest doing it myself or having a shop do it? I don't need it on the whole truck, just the area under the flares.

 

Just do it yourself. Doesn’t need to look professional. Mine looks like shit underneath but I don’t care since the flares cover it up.

 

DIY

 

It's easy to do yourself.

 

Took her to the new park that opened up down the street

 

Installed led reverse, cargo, vanity, and license plate lights yesterday, did Meso Customs dome and map last week. Waiting for Vled footwell kit…FedEx is running a few days late. Should have done this much sooner but was hesitant from reading several horror stories on here, but very glad I did.

 

Removed the bed side decal, the adhesive is durable stuff! Replaced mats with WeatherTechs

 

Just added vinyl mountain stickers I received from the wife for a Christmas stocking stuffer.

 

Installed Meso lights this morning. I followed the instruction videos on Meso's website. There were 4 T20 screws in my console. Missed the posts about just swapping the lights out without removing the console. I'm pleased with the results. Yes, the white map lights are bright, but that's good IMHO.

 

Temp installed my ScanGuage II

 

I took my flares off the day a bought the truck new but I like the look of those.

 

What’s you plan Charles when it comes to painting? Going with powder coat or just painting? Reason why I’m asking is I’m thinking of painting mine and I’ve heard both sides of the process

 

I'm pretty sure the powder coat route will be more durable. I am looking into that option.

 

Didn't expect this to be of any difficulty buy it was a pain in the ass to line them up as good as I could. Took about 45 min ! Not sure if it's worth the money but it was a stocking stuffer and I'm happy with the results.

 

Is this only required because of the lift and leaf pack? If not, what’s the benefit to this? I don’t even have the TRD sway bar, but it’s on the “eventually” list.

 

Did you use vleds for the reverse, vanity and license plates?

 

Probably don’t want to hear this now but that section pops out very easily and they are much easier to install with it off.

 

Can you explain how to remove this section please
