What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Bed: lined (Rhino)




Undercarriage: Coated (Wool Wax)



Next: Tonneau cover

 

Can I get the discount code u used for that mod? Thanks

 

Installed my Decked system last night in the Pro.... Needed a bit of organization in my life. Yes, you lose some bed depth, but I also gain the ability to reach over the entire length of the bed (easily) and grab anything w/o having to climb up on the sliders, etc....

 

Can I ask where you got the positive terminal cap that is on the SDHQ terminal covering? Just installed my SDHQ terminals this past week and don't like the exposed connection on the positive side. Light looks good by the way!

 

Where did you get this part? Can you provide the link? Thanks!

 

This is if you have two "auto" switches (upper trims)'

This is if you have one "auto" switch:

I've seen that some people had issues when installing these. Didn't work correctly and then when they installed their oem part, it still didn't work. Messed something up when they installed the new part. Did you have any issues at all?

 

Nice! Looks awesome. I want to add this to mine. Let us know how you like it.

 

So far, so good

The depth of the drawers is a little shallow, so you'll want to calculate what you're going to be putting in there, etc... I knew this going in, so I'm fine.

Quality is very good; everything operates smooth and as you'd except.

The one thing I don't care for is the 'dividers'; they just don't seem to click into place real well, but right now I'm not using them anyhow.

The boxes they give you are stout.

PS>>> The instructions have you remove you OE bed tie downs. I'm not sure if this is really necessary (unless the turnbuckles are too small for the diameter of the OE tie down)... I didn't check that, but maybe that's the reason. Anyhow, I ended up removing mine and swapping them w/the ones from the system (cuz I didn't want to get through the install and then find out I had to pull it back out again). Just sucks removing the OE ones once you've sprayed a bedliner in cuz that shit's a mess to cut out and around (x acto knife if the key)...

It was on the truck when I bought it. OEM Terminal Cover

 

Took some pictures around dusk to see how everything looked, backed the truck out to the end of the driveway before the slope to the street altered where the beams hit the garage door. Many thanks to @memario1214 (whom I assume is the guy who I've been in communication with regarding the light bar purchase and install).

My truck came with these as well. I don’t know if I would have spent the 1500.00+, but I do like them, especially with no under seat storage in the cab like I had with my old Dodge. Plenty sturdy and seem to be capable of holding a fair amount of weight as well. You’ve got to reach in a bit to access items in the front of the drawers, but I believe they addressed that with the latest system generation. Bed depth is reduced quite a bit, which has got me searching for a swing out spare tire carrier. My oem sized tire/rim just fits beneath the tonneau. I don’t care to store the spare beneath the bed.

 

Installed new rear shocks and 1" lift blocks. My 3" extension made me think I stripped one of the U-Bolts when I was torquing it to 100 ft/lbs.
I was happy and mad at the same time... Glad the bolt didn't strip, mad that the extension was ruined.
Now the Tundra doesn't look like it has a case of the Carolina Squat. The topper and 47 Gallons of fuel made my leveling kit not so level.
I have a set of assembled 6112's in route from Hotshot Offroad that should be here Thursday.

 

Pulled our boat out of the lake and towed it home .

 

Replaced the rear shocks! I have had a horrible squeak noise coming from the rear over any size bump for the past few months and it was driving me crazy! I figured out it was the right rear shock as it had oil coming out of the shaft and when I removed the mounting bolt the noise was gone. The truck had a 6" Pro Comp lift on it when I purchased it with 28,000 miles and it only now has 33,000...so not sure at what milage the original owner had the lift put on. After removing the bad shock, it not only was leaking oil but it would not move at all! The piston inside must be seized or broken and that is why it was making a terrible noise over any bump. Obviously not impressed with the quality of Pro Comp shocks so I bought some Rough Country N3 shocks and they were easy to install, noise it gone, and ride quality is awesome!

 

None.
You just have to make sure you buy the right one.
I always remove the key when unplugging and installing stuff anyways, just as a safe measure.

 

Just as a FYI, I am at 19 months since installing and they are working great.

 

What’s the height from the top of the bed rail cap to the top of the Decked?

 

I'll get that for you later this evening...

 

Great to hear!

 

Ok, looks to be just a click/notch/hash over 10"

 

This Deck system is water tight? Thanks!

 

Is there a way to make green Cruise Control indicator light brighter? My previous gen 2 and current gen 2.5, both lights are so dim. I can't see during the day if the light is on or off.

 

You can make sure your cluster lights are turned all the way up, but since it's part of the main display I doubt there's any way to make just that light brighter.

 

According to decked, the drawers are....

The system has 2 gaskets running along the center vert (which is the support channel that sits between the 2 drawers) and the drawers have gaskets that sit on the top of the lip of the drawer 'face' (where the handle is)...

They've been in for a couple of days, and we've had no rain yet... So, I can't confirm at this point. I do live in the PNW, so once the fall hits I'll be able to advise.

I also have an ArmourFlex tonneau over the system, so that will provide some deflection as well.

Outside of the drawer supports on the left and right (if you look under the deck w/o the drawers installed you'll see the center and outside support structures) will definitely NOT be water proof, particularly along the sides of the bed and at the bulkhead.

 

How do you like that Dasaita head unit? I've been looking at an upgrade for the stock unit.

 

I think any aftermarket head unit will be an upgrade. My JBL premium is premium crap!

 

Hit a mileage milestone yesterday as I pulled into my driveway.

The pic is sized to where you can't really see the dash. LOL
