What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nice! Thank you.

 

That looks clean! I like

 

If it makes you feel any better my 2 pack of SS3's from Diode Dynamics was missing hardware, too.

 

thats surprising- Diode has always had their shit together for me and I’ve gotten a ton from them

 

Yep, Eibach setup does not compensate for the larger gas tanks, so if you have that the driver side will probably be about 1/2 lower than passenger side, as the coilovers are set up out of the box. So you may need to adjust.

 

It’s weird but same happened to me. Only thing a little off was toe but I had adjusted the tie rods to straighten my steering wheel so that was probably my fault and it wasn’t off much.

 

Yeah, I was a little surprised. I was missing the bolts/washers/nylock nuts (x2 each) for one of the lights to bolt into the provided frame.
I expected a trip or two to Home Depot for that job, fortunately they sold bolts and nuts in packs of four so I just replaced it all.

 

Installed Wheelers Super bumps on the front. Made a noticeable difference just driving around the block. Also changed out the license plate light for an LED one.

 

Great job!!

On that pic/line-up of trucks, lower left red truck: Anyone know what that light bar is for the aux lights? Looking for one like that. Looks more substantial and simple than many I've seen. Might be homemade but asking just in case...

 

its a custom mount on an SS built bumper with 4 lp6’s

 

Appreciate the details. Looks great...

I'm just about to go buy some electrical conduit pipe and "borrow" a pipe bender long enough to make something work. Frustrating search on simple straight ahead light mounts...

Thanks again on the input.

 

tinkered with both sides foglight assemblies. all loose and the light would bounce around. nothing some zip ties, hot glue and acouple of screws cant fix!

 

got some new tires in, hopefully mounting on my painted wheels tomorrow. will update then

RBP Repulsors R\T 295\65R20

 

Holy smokes! Quick glance, I thought those were already mounted. Thinking, damn that's a tight fit, definitely see some rubbing happening there.

Sweet lookin truck!

 

Hell I thought I was looking at dueleys

 

I’ve been running the ATIIIs in MN for years. They’re great in the snow. I head out in every blizzard just for fun. Never had an issue with getting stuck.

Can’t speak to mpg impact. Never really paid attention to it. I can get from Twin Cities to cabin on 3/4 tank. That’s all I need.

 

Haha yea they would def be tight like that lol Hopefully no much rubbing tomorrow we will see tho

That would be crazy on a tundra lol

 

Good to know, thanks man. Going with 285/75s, load C. Tires came in today, gonna slap them on Saturday. An mpg or two lost wont be the end of the world. I work in oil and gas so might as well support my industry by fueling up.

 

That’s dead on.

 

Do you have the stock fogs? Mine are still tight but I was worried about this since I'll be installing the diode dynamics after Christmas. Seems to be pretty common.

 

sounds like you may have been in Boulder lol

10-15 years ago I was sitting in a Home Depot parking lot in my old T100 with our family’s home built trailer eating lunch. Lady backs across the aisle in a brand new Subaru Outback and backs into the corner of the trailer at a 45° angle. V’s in the rear bumper and creases the tailgate slightly.

I of course feel the impact, and get out as she pulls forward about 5’. At first she was all nice and apologetic, then asks for my insurance. I told her “no need, it’s just a farm trailer and you didn’t do any damage”. That’s when she flipped, saying my trailer was hanging out of the spot and that someone’s going to have to pay for this. At that point I said, “not me, but here’s my number if you’d like to argue some more”. I took some pictures, and was just about to leave when a contractor comes over. The lady was freaking out on the phone with someone. He hands me his card and tells me if she raises a stink, give him a call, he saw the hole thing. I thanks him, take a few more pictures and head back to work.

About 2-3 hours later, Boulder PD shows up at the shop asking for me. This incredibly annoyed officer asks me if I had an incident in the HD parking lot. I replied, “oh, Subaru lady actually called you guys?” He said yes and she’s looking to file charges for leaving the scene of an accident and wants my insurance for damages to her car. I told him she hit me, here’s pictures of my truck and trailer where they were positioned when she hit me, and I hand over the contractors card. He says great, he’ll get right back with me and goes to sit in his car.

15-20 minutes later he comes over and asks to see the trailer. I take him to it, he chuckles, and asks if I’d like her insurance, he’s labeling her at fault and if needed, he can get her to provide it for repairs. We both laugh and he heads along on his merry way. Never heard another thing about it but boy was the Boulder entitlement strong that day.

Like my dad says, Boulder, it’s not a city, it’s a state of mind. 28 square miles surrounded by reality.
Here’s the truck and trailer for visual

 

Did what most responsible Tundra owners do and drove thundra to work. A man's got to what he's got to do to provide for his toy!

 

P0130, which bank is bank 1 and is sensor 1 upstream or downstream? I'm too cheap to replace all 4.

Nevermind, I'm a dumbass.

 

Got the 295\65R20 mounted today on the xsp wheels +50 offset. Its a 35 inch tire that about 11.5 wide. Rubbed a little when full lock on skid plate so i tried bending and said screw it and cut it off with a grinder just an inch or so. Rubbed on the front mud flap thingy so i took it off and it rubs in reverse a little on the front bumper plastic. I might get some bumper shims or try to bend in that plastic. Flat ground i am 1\4 inch away from the sway bar and have a small spot i rubbed it during some turning on a little hill but im not worried about it.

It really beefed up the truck look, and to me looks like an actual truck now. really happy with how it turned out. Have a small amount of Poke which is what i wanted cause i dont want a ton of paint chips lol

 

Another piece of the puzzle checked off.

 

Nice!!

 

Some People...

 

Drove down to Padre Island National Seashore. Spent the day fishing. Had the place all to myself!

 

Did you catch anything.?

 

Looking pretty sharp now with the front windows tinted to match the back
