  1. Called Dexter with axle ID information from the following "How do I identify my axle?" link and they sent a build sheet. https://www.dexteraxle.com/Contact/FAQ/Axles Here's the axle build sheet they emailed for our 2015 LE2.
  2. Always liked the idea of having Legacy Elite 5200 pound capacity axles and 5 leaf spring packs on our 2015 LE2 because Oliver ran out of 3500 pound axles during manufacture installing larger Legacy Elite axles & spring packs like ScubaRX mentioned earlier. The 5200 pound axles have larger bearings and brakes, too. I'm currently running 45PSI in the 225/75R16 tires on our Ollie with the idea of smoothing out the ride with higher capacity springs, like Mountainman198 mentioned, too. Someone on this forum posted this air pressure chart in another thread. This chart is not very large, sorry about that.
  3. John, Our 2015 LE2 #75 has 5200 pound axles and springs. Understand at the time Oliver ran out of 3500 pound axles, so Legacy Elite axles/springs were installed on our Ollie. 99% highway use with no spring issues. Here's the springs on our Ollie:
  4. Thanks, Just watched Jim and Frances YouTube video link about vehicle's Bluetooth in his last post, highly recommend seeing this video, too.
  5. Conducted a test with our 2022 Tundra's FOB this morning. Our Faraday pouch has not arrived yet, probably later today. Started vehicle with FOB turned on by pressing brake and start/stop button. Turned FOB off with engine running by placing in "battery save mode" by simultaneously pressing/holding FOB lock button and pressing unlock button twice, then drove 8 miles with no issues with FOB off. Turned vehicle off by pressing/start stop button with FOB still off. Tried to restart by pressing brake and start/stop button and vehicle would not restart with FOB off. Intentionally locked FOB in vehicle using door lock button on door and doors stayed locked, vehicle did not automatically unlock doors with FOB in vehicle as long as FOB was in "battery save mode" or off. Used Debbie's FOB to unlock vehicle, then placed her FOB back in the house to finish testing. Placed my FOB in my pocket locking vehicle with lock button on door, could not unlock doors or tailgate with FOB still in "battery save mode" in my pocket. There are more test I could conduct, but no extra time today. Learned I only needed the FOB to start the vehicle. Using FOB's metal key can unlock vehicle without using FOB electronically. When FOB is in "battery save mode" it can be turned back on by pressing any FOB button. Guessing most manufacturers have a mode similar to Toyota's "battery save mode"
  6. The function shown in the above video in the Toyota manual is the “battery save mode” that reduces FOB battery discharge and vehicle battery discharge until any key is pressed on the FOB. Our vehicle also has this as an automatic function when the vehicle sits for more than five days and several other situations to reduce FOB battery depletion and vehicle battery depletion. The manual states “When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping the electronic key from receiving radio waves.” It looks like as mentioned in the above video at the end using “battery save mode” function and a Faraday pouch is a good way to minimize vehicle theft.
  7. The same guy in the first video made a later video about securing vehicle using FOB to lock vehicle. Just tried this function by holding FOB lock button and pressing unlock button twice at same time. Cannot open the door using the door handle with the FOB in my pocket. Going to study the operators manual to learn more about this feature, will call dealership if additional information is not in my manual. Edit: Just tested our 2022 Tundra sitting in the drivers seat. Locked doors with FOB holding lock button while pressing unlock button twice. The start button will not start vehicle with brake pedal pressed until unlocking vehicle with FOB. Will learn more about this feature. Probably available on many late model vehicles.
  8. Sorry about Non-Faraday cage related content, but still security related. Believe it could be easy to find out where the Bluetooth signal is coming from by walking by campers and looking at bars of Bluetooth signal. In the case of Victron my shunt works with various types of batteries, so your PW is needed to identify type of battery in a camper, original default PW can be used to look at type of battery by anyone, don't know about other Bluetooth apps. Can't wait to test the Faraday Pouches tomorrow! 🙂
  9. When I tested the metal box lined with aluminum foil, the lid was also lined with aluminum foil with overlap of foil from the lid and box. A few years ago my testing was with a cell phone's ability to receive calls and messages while in a unlined metal box that failed, but with aluminum foil liner the phone could not receive calls and messages. Not sure if that test is relevant with a FOB, but that was my test a few years ago. One of the things that got me thinking about this again (not Faraday cage related) while on a camping trip last January, I could pick up someone's Victron Bluetooth signal (guessing 50' away) with my Victron Shunt app. Highly recommend using a different PW other than the original multiple 0 PW with the Victron app.
  10. Experimented with a small all metal cookie box as a Faraday container a few years ago and found it would not work well unless lined with aluminum foil. That's why I wanted to test the Faraday Pouches from Amazon, should arrive tomorrow.
  11. Will do! Thinking about this issue when camping last month.
  12. David, Ordered a two pack from your link. Thanks, Bill
  13. HDRider, The rear differential ratio is 3.31 on on our model SR5 2022 CrewMax Cab 2WD Tundra towing #75 LE2. When I first purchased the 2022 Tundra most were calling the engine an i-Force 3.5L including my original Toyota window sticker 🙂, but on the 2024 Toyota website today it's called an "i-Force" 3.4L engine.The twin turbo 3.4 V-6 engine replaced the 5.7L V-8 starting in 2022. For those that have a 2022 or later Tundra, some come with a hybrid system (more power/torque) called "i-Force MAX" power train. Thanks for your work on this project.
  14. HDRider, thanks for putting this together! Towing #75 LE2 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 2WD Gas 3.5L twin-turbo V6 1400 pound load capacity Tow Capacity 11,400 pounds .
  15. We have two small electric de-humidifiers we use in Ollie. Condensation will collect between the hulls where the Oliver Sign is located in the overhead storage. Been thinking about installing a 2" vent in each removable bulkhead partitions where the Oliver sign is located along with using a small de-humidfier in that compartment to better help with condensation.
