What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Wife's gonna kill me but I saw this on SOB's IG and had to pull the trigger



Comes in next week. Either gonna powdercoat it or LineX it. Not sure yet.

 

Parked my dirty ass next to a new Tremor. Nice truck, and I'm glad to hear that Ford is making major moves to curb warranty work and build reliable vehicles. While it would be nice to have some of the Tremor package features, I would still make the same choice today.

 

I sometimes carpool with a gent who has an F150 Tremor. It’s an extremely nice truck with a nice ride. It’s equipped far better than my SR5 admittedly. I don’t like debt though. So that’s a deal breaker for me.

 

I am doing this. Seems like a nice, cheap alternative to dropping a grand on a head unit like I want to.

 

First mod: stubby antenna to replace the stock buggy whip. Cat shields and steps go on tomorrow...

 

I don't like the way they look. Not aggressive enough and the "Tremor" nomenclature is a mediocre one at best.

 

I read too much at other forums and have too many family members who put up with Ford in order to drive “the #1 selling truck in America”. That’s the dealbreaker for me.

 

Installed a pedal commander. Picked it up off here, thanks @WV_Warrior

 

Haha what's up man? I'm the owner of S.O.B. Fab and also the guy that "twisted your arm". Thanks for the order. I can't wait to see it on your truck.

Just fyi, we did some more "product testing" today and we think you'll be happy. This was one of 4 trucks rescued on our drive.

 

Haha you read my mind regarding the winch mount strength. I am already looking into my powder coat or LineX options. Sold my previous bumper so the longer it takes for me to get er done, the longer I'll be sans bumper runnin down the road

Which winch do yall have mounted to it?

P.S. Wife already asked a bunch of questions lol

 

The winch mount is solid. It's essentially the same center section of bumper that we've been producing for a couple years with no issues. We now have an additional plate that supports the bumper more too. I'll attach a photo.

We are running a Warn VR12s in ours but they will fit almost anything. @n0rth is running a Come Up slim line 12 and had to relocate the control box due to the position of the controller plug.

 

What is even included in a “Tremor”? Looks lame but maybe those orange stripes add power?

 

That does look stout. Think a Badlands winch would fit ok?

 

Adds +5 hp per stripe*










*Only going downhill with a stiff gale against the tailgate

 

That should fit, no problem.

 

Drilled a couple holes


Pulled out the wire harness I had ran to the rear bumper for BSM and replaced it with one that had three more wires


But…
Still troubleshooting things


Sadly, I think it might be the Bezos-mart knock-off sensors. But $90 for all 6 instead of $150 EACH was too good not to give a try.

 

Installed the diff breather extension and ran it into the rear taillight.

 

New windshield.

 

How was Joe?

 

@RainMan_PNW - are you saying you can add BSM to a truck not equipped with it?

 

Also diagnosed why my AC stopped blowing cold. Hardline in the driver side wheel well was rubbing on the long travel bypass hoop.

New line ordered and I’ll sleeve it and replace it. Go long travel they said it’ll be fun they said lol

 

Joe was awesome- as usual

house of blues venue was not

Astonishing talent

I hear he is going to do the upcoming Van Halen tour

 

Maybe you need to make a change with tech stream??

 

Wowza!!! That looks fantastic!

 

BSM - yes. I’ve had it added to my truck for quite a while (1-1/2 years). Details are in my build thread linked in my signature.

 

Nope. Been through the full set of options in techstream. Nothing in there related to Sonar.
The parking sonar requires a different instrument cluster to even show up on the screen (which I’ve got). The only thing left is that the sensors are not OEM

 

Do you also have to add the modules at back of truck? When I was rear ended, they had to replace a $1200 module and then get it programmed by a mobile tech that specializes in calibrating BSM for like $600.

 

BSM and Sonar are two separate systems with separate sensors and controls. BSM does have a calibration process in techstream.

And yes, I’ve got sensors wired into the rear bumper. That was why I re-ran the wiring harness from the engine bay to the back of the truck.

 

Learn something new every day. Didn’t know they are separate systems.

 

By Sonar are you referring to proximity sensors?
