What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Right? I am a believer in it. The mirrors and plastic at the bottom of the windshield still look new! Over a year after application too

 

Finally installed the Rago dash mount. I picked up when @Tucsontundra1794 lost his truck (Sorry about the ride! Thanks again for the deal on the dash mount!)

 

Also installed the opt7 lightbar for the rear.

Yes. She needs a bath. I thought it was going to rain on me again today.

 

GoPro mount included? If you do not have one, grab one. Deals always around Christmas time. Everyone in my family uses it, and loves it. Plus they are indestructible.

 

Finally installed 6112's on the 2 inch lift setting, first side took almost five hours, seconds side I could have gotten done in less than two. I burgered up the threads on the outer tie to and ran all over Wichita to find a 16MMX1.5 tap and die. Did not loosen the lower control arm, just pushed it down with a pry bar, love the stance, so far only drove it a little ways and retightened everything

 

Ordered all of the parts for my window conversion. They will arrive at the dealer on Tuesday.

 

The gopro mount was not included Just figuring out where I could get one to mount on it with the parts I had, before printing up what I will need.

Have you tired either the ceramic spray or headlight restore products? If you have, would you recommend them?

 

What type of side steps do you have? Are they sliders?

 

I’ve used both and I would definitely recommend them

 

New pulley and shorter belt on. Nice little blower whine at idle now.

 

They are faux sliders. Go Rhino D6 running boards.

 

Wait a minute. I thought you ran out of mod ideas.

 

Installed some new wheels today. Really happy with how everything looks so far.

Methods MR312 in Bronze, 18x9 +18 wrapped with Falken Wildpeaks 285/75/18. Clears cab mount but had to do a lot trimming and adjustment to the front bumper fender liner.

 

I did until I thought about the window lol.

 

until you think about the next thing...

Thats always how it works.

 

Lol...I already added rear AC.

 

looks great! Love this tire size for our trucks and your offset is just right with those methods

 

Got a new ride along

 

Changed the oil.
Rotated tires.
51k miles
48k miles on these 285/75 Duratracs. Still quiet. Wet pavement traction has gone downhill recently.
Even though there is still tread left, I think I'm due for new rubber.

 

What's the new 0 to 60 time?

 

Not sure yet. I actually ordered another step down again lol. Then scheduled a tune. I’m guessing mid 4s. I’ll do a run once it’s all dialed.

 

Noticed my front inner brake pads (on both fronts) have these little lips, while I was going through and regreasing and replacing some hardware bits here and there, seeing if I could reduce the noise on my new pads and rotors after 3k miles.

Can't help but wonder if it's related at all, but I did file them off before refitting. Put some good tacky stuff on the back of the pads before reinstall and more grease on the moving edges of the pads. We'll see how it helps!

 

IDK but wouldn't that mean your rotor is too small diameter or your pad is too big?

 

I suspect the pad is just wider, because the caliper and bracket are the same, just rotors and pads changed up, and I checked the outer diameter of the old vs new, same there too.

 

My 2013 did the same thing.

 

Installed 6112s at 1.9” setting and a 3/8” spacer up front, ended up with 2.75” total lift. Installed 5160s in the rear and the RAS kit I picked up off swap from @Cthulhu. Tensioned to the black spacer though I ended up with about a 1.5” lift instead of an inch Not sure how much everything will settle. Looks a lot more leveled now, there is a 1 1/8” rake.
Also installed the new tires and wheels, 285/75R18. A little bit of rubbing so I took off the front mudflaps. Still a little rub in reverse. Need to get an alignment so I’ll see how she fits after that. I have bumper spacers to get me by if need be until I upgrade my front bumper. Could’ve done without the 90+ degree heat though.

the truck rides and handles awesome, this is how this truck should’ve came from the factory

 

Nice. I see you have the famous Badland jack. Do you have the bed mount as well?

 

Thanks! I do not have the mount yet, on my list though. I need to get my spare situation squared away next. Gonna have to cut the ears off to fit the full-size spare.

 

That rake looks awesome!!
