What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Took her in for oil change, tire rotation, and to get the brakes looked at. About to return from a 2 month almost 7k mile roadtrip so had to check everything out. Unfortunately I'll be needing new front brakes and rotors , but I'll knock those out when I get home.

 

Interested in what you find out!

 

funny you mention that, I’ve had a set sitting on the parts shelf for almost 2 years…
Glad to hear theyre a great combo
I really need to get around to installing them then

 

Interesting, they've sat in our work trucks for years without issues. We might not get desert heat here in Minny, but get frequent 90s/100s in summer and up to -30/-40 in the winter. Have not had issues with the units being kept in these extremes other than topping off the battery every so often with a charge.

 

Ordered EBC rotors and yellow pads for front and rears. Gonna install the TRD airbox mod later tonight.

 

Keep an eye on the rotors. The EBC yellow pads like to eat rotors. Isn't that right @pvn.beluga lol

 

Should I run a different color? I can save the yellows for the second run on these rotors.

 

No doubt they work great and have great bite but I’d say a green would be better for wear. Or upping to a cryo treated rotor. Also the yellows have a ton of dust just as another fyi

 

Finding cryo treated rotors in stock is like gold right now. I have been looking for new StopTechs....found 1 of 4.

 

Have you tried frozen rotors?

 

The truck rolled past 17k miles on the clock headed to New Smyrna Beach with the missus!

 

I have not but I know Keith has them on his site.

 

Had the stock 1794 fake wood trim plastic steering wheel start cracking a little while ago. Ordered a replacement steering wheel from Revesol on eBay - all black leather with gray stitching and black center stripe. Quality feels on par with OEM and feel is great.

 

I'm going to pretend I didn't read that...I live in the "valley of the sun" AZ where we've seen 110+ for weeks over the last few summers. I have my NOCO in the center console. Just need to pull it out every couple months to charge it.

 

I wonder how hot it gets under a bed cover. I need to put a thermometer back there and check it out. I’ve been wanting one of these but it gets het here - hit 109 last week. I guess it’d probably be fine for 9-10 months per year.

 

Hell yeah. LOLOL. I think it’s all the towing I’ve been doing too. Junk hauling side hustle. Least I’m putting the truck to use!!!

 

Be ready for a lot of dust.

 

So. Much. Dust.

 

Caught quite a few bugs in my grille navigating thru the Great Smoky Mountains this weekend.



With the dog and family, of course. Getting close to needing some new tires soon though...

 

My youngest has been constantly putting his hand through the spokes when he’s out there by the truck

Any way, I haven’t gotten a chance to pull off the front tires yet. From just an eye inspection, I think they’re a bit past half life for the fronts - rears a bit more difficult to see. Rotors might be shot too, so I’ve ordered a thickness caliper to measure it and if it’s under minimum thickness, they’ve gotta go. SMH. It’s only been 15k miles on these rotors and pads. Could possibly go up to 20k if I stop towing so much.

I use the Toyota app to log all of my maintenance. Pretty helpful of keeping history.

 

My wife didn’t like my black wheels looking bronze. And it was a bitch to clean. But damnit they stopped so well. I swapped back to OEM after like 5k miles lol.

 

Should have just gotten bronze wheels.....

 

My Offroam mount fits well with AJT vent rings

 

Lucky for me that's what I have.

 

Dude, they stop extremely well. I’ve stepped on it once and it legitimately stopped right when I wanted to.

Then again, I broke in the pads to the point of where my ABS light turned on.

 

How did you break them in? That was my next Google search.
