What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I bought the same ones a couple weeks ago. Need to get them color matched to my truck before I put them on. Just seen they are now on sale

 

Little more blackout work and a bath

 

Installed toyotech rear shakles

 

Added some Bushwhacker Extend-a-flares

 

What color of Rvinyl are you considering? I am interested in doing this to my 1794 but don’t really want black and think the burlwood either might not match well enough or just be too much. (Maybe carbon fiber?)

 

Looks perfect. Exactly the ones I’m gonna get. What’s on your door handles grip tape?

 

What mat is around the forward cupholder? The cupholderhero kit doesn't come with that one for some reason.

 

Kids got it for me, I believe off Amazon. Certain it is one of the cheap Chinese knock offs.

 

Looks good to me. It's funny how a knock off kit has it and not a company that advertises the kits on TV.

 

Yes but when you make them cheap using others' designs then you can provide more!

 

Finally got around to getting one of these. Installed it tonight. Pretty impressed, really needed the added storage!

 

Installed security bolts for my Valhalla's Shield rear plate and then also added 1/2" Coachbuilder carrier bearing spacers while I was under.

 

Picked up a proper 3-ton jack and four 6-ton jack stands. I decided to test them out by rotating the tires. Everything worked great except getting the wheels back on the truck. I couldn’t do it by myself. What’s the secret to getting the wheels back on without help?

 

Sitting on your butt and using your inner calves and hands 4&8 to position the wheels/lugs into place. That way you can eye the lineup.

..just make sure the new stands are solidly in place!

 

I added the Toyota power lock to the tailgate. This was very easy to install using the actual Toyota one.

I have the same jack in yellow. Works great!

I’ve been doing it this way:

Where did you get that bed cover? I like it man!

 

Diamondback. I love it. And whether I only put 250,000 miles or the full 400,000 miles on the truck, it'll still be there.

Where'd you get this color from?

 

I got a response from him awhile ago and sent my address but never received anything.

 

Can I get a black one please!

 

This. LOL I had to do this two weeks ago with the spare in 100 degree weather. The BIGGEST secret to doing it right is...making sure you drink plenty of water. LOL After that, yeah, I sat on my @$$, lined up the wheels w/the lugs more or less, then used my calves and hands to live the tire into place.

 

It’s awesome! I noticed a difference in throttle response and sound immediately. Especially in Tow/Haul mode right around 3500 RPM

 

I just picked this up at my dealership so I’m anxiously waiting for my truck to arrive so I can do this mod. Have to say tho…the wiring picture looks a little Frightening.

Never done anything like this mod before so I’m guesstimating 1.5 - 2 hrs approximately

 

It is very easy to do honestly. You have to just snap in the connectors for the wires there is no soldering.

The burlwood caught my eye initially, as my wife has this trim in her Avalon, but I haven't had a chance to look at all the choices yet. They have reasonably priced dash kits with a ton of colors and patterns.

 

I waived the Toyota Connected Services so the truck will no longer transmit location, driving, and vehicle health data to Toyota.

 

I also changed my oil (first time doing it myself) and also rotated the tires.

I ran into a small problem when removing the oil filter. The little piece that comes out (picture) before the actual oil filter was too snug on the oil filter itself so they both came out together. It made a big mess but I don't think it servers any other purpose than to allow you to stick that tube on to drain it before removing the oil filter.

I replaced the filter and tried to get the two pieces to separate but couldn't get it done. I put them back on and am hoping next time I remove that piece I'll be able to hold the oil filter gasket tight while removing the other piece first.

Anyone else ever had this issue?
