What did you do with your Tundra or Sequoia this weekend? (8 Viewers)

[mrsleeve]

For my use - I think they’ll be great. I’d classify them more as a durable Mud Terrain than a Hybrid. They’re loud over 55, the lugs are huge and they have almost no siping.

I got 14mpg on my first tank which is the same as I was getting on the smaller Ridge Grapplers. They ride a little firmer than the Nittos they replaced due to the higher load index but still not HD truck stiff(running 36 psi). They drive great even at 80mph - no shakes, steer and track well.

Thanks for the response

I have been running cooper rugged treks on my tundra which are really nice but never seemed to ballance well, and given that Goodyear owns cooper now and are generally more expensive that the good years. So I am looking at options as I have 2 sets of tires to buy in the next 12 months ( tundra is rapidly approaching 50k miles on this set and the 80 are just old and showing their age from sitting) and these look great on paper for my use. You’re the 1st I have seen get a set so I appreciate the feedback as I am weighing options the lack siping is the only thing that worries me as i live in snow country I hope they release a few more sizes before my need becomes urgent.

I was actually able to get them in some snow the night after I put them on - disclaimer it was fresh snow and around 35 degrees out but they were great - really good traction. I drove forward through that pile of snow where the road on the other side had been plowed and never spun a tire or activated traction control. I have a feeling that might not be the same in really cold temps and ice.

Mt lemon ???

Yeah Az winter temps are balmy for me, I spend my winters in northern MN or NW MT. Though I try to sneak down to the dirty T every so often to see my brother if I can find the time off.

Yes - ski valley up on Mt Lemmon. Southern most ski resort in the northern hemisphere for those that don’t know.

Bought it. Picked this up for my Wife

What wheel offset?

+25 17x8.5 Icon wheels. Had to remove the mud flaps and space the bumper out a little.

 

[Gold Boy]

Relocated the Hi Lift Jack, was on a rack for the RTT, but I'm done with RTTs.

 

[LandCruisinMy93]

On-boarding maintenance.
Thermostat
Water pump
Radiator
A bunch of coolant hoses
Fan bracket
Idler pulley
Belt tensioner
Belt
Upgrade to 180 amp alternator
Pcv valve and hose
Spark plugs

Added the TRD front sway bar while the original was out.

 

[kbahus]

Installed a TRD Pro suspension setup and RCI skids. Finally starting to warm up to the Tundra.

I’m supposed to purchase a tundra tomorrow. I’ve been looking for almost a year. One fell in my lap, a trd pro in the same color as yours.

What flaps on yours?

 

[kbahus]

I wish I had a TRD Pro from the start, but I have been looking for a good year as well and this one popped up so I went for it. The flaps I just put on, Rally Armor universals. I had to trim them on the inside, pretty simple install.

 

[banjo1981]

Not maintenance related, but drove it to the range this morning to break in my first “can” and test some load development on the Grendel.

 

[AZBoatHauler]

Took it out Sunday for a run to the river with the new bumper and truck twin TRDFerguson.

 

[LandCruisinMy93]

LOL! TRDFerguson! RIP Norm.

Nice!

 

[2020 Rocks]

Bought my first Tundra. Being in Ohio this is as close to a unicorn as I'll ever get. 2011 Crew Max Limited one owner, rust free from Texas with 145k. It has some hail damage on the passenger side quarter panel and a couple rock chips in the windshield, otherwise she is a dime piece.

Nice! I have a single piece of advice. If it’s rust free from Texas and you want to protect it in Ohio.
I have found Cosmoline spray is effective bulletproof anticorrosion spray. There is a guy with an 80 from somewhere near there been spraying his for a decade and it still looks darn good.

 

[cruiserpilot]

Don’t usually do much here with my ‘07 Tundra. Cross threaded a O2 sensor. Long day. Drilled it out
TIG welded the new Vibrant SS bung and painted it back up. I always paint my exhausts. Seem to last longer.

Thanks, already have a gallon of black fluid film waiting in the garage
