What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

2x6x8 board, cut down to 66 1/4 length, 20 degrees cut in middle on each end, rounded smooth at each end using a sander.

 

Took it out wheelin with the fam today, good times

Just ordered the kit

 

Finished the 42" DD Stage Series light bar with the "Perfect Mounts" from Hotshot Offroad, well mostly finished. Still have some wire harness management to do, and while I was fishing the wire harness behind the grille, I took the opportunity to put some loom over the front camera wires and clean that up as well. I don't have a rivnut tool and my son's die for his is too small to finish the Rago Fabrication compressor mount, so I will go visit a friend after work tomorrow and finish routing the wiring harness.

I didn't realize that the switches are keyed to certain spots on the dash, I was going to move the rear window switch over to the right side of the steering wheel, and put the light bar switch under the headlight leveling switch. Annoying. I definitely think I will do a SwitchPro at some point if I have more stuff to control. I may also redo the switch wiring for the light bar if I don't go to a SwitchPro, as I would rather have it behind ignition circuit so it only works when the engine is running and the illumination tied to the dash lights. It was a hassle because for some reason I cannot get the harness to unclip from the Cali Raised LED switch I got, and didn't want to break it.

 

traded her in today. kind of a sad day. I really thought I was going to have this truck several years, I spent two weeks of nights and weekends taking off all the mods I had.

 

but, I get to start a new project now, a 2018 1794 in the best color, MGM, with only 21000 miles.

 

After many years I finally did the "all auto" switch mod. I don't know why I waited so long to do this!!! One of those things that absolutely should have been standard on these trucks, especially the higher trims.





Took 3 weeks to get, 5 minutes to install, and is the best $ spent on a simple but rewarding mod.

 

The TRD Pro’s on my 21 Sr5 are amazing!

 

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"
