What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Just dont take the kids bike !

 

Haha my 4 year old learned how to ride her bike today and I got distracted by my ugly truck...

 

I too need to teach my 4 yr old son also. Cant wait to see that truck all done no more chrome. I need to do this soon.

 

I can’t wait, then I need some lift and wheels...then I’ll be done for awhile

 

Just thought I'd share a peek under the cover.

 

Nice! I have black badges on the way and a short Ronin antenna.

 

Whoo Hoo! No more Chrome!

 

Love the ammo cans!

 

Looking Good but, every post gives me new ideas. Might have to get a second job! Lol!

 

Love the engineering!

 

I will take those wheels any day! Looks awesome!

 

Looking tough! Really cleans up the front end.

 

Super Clean Look! Good to hear it helps without speakers. Stock sound is weak!

 

Hells Yeah!

 

Thanks. They are 20mm and they fit really well. The straps are temporary untill I figure out a bracket or something.

 

How I added xm radio to pioneer 2440nex with stock antenna. Take back cover off stock radio, remove blue plug, and follow wire under thin metal plate I bent it up, then unplugged it. I put little shrink tub on it, but really don't need it, then plug into the add on xm.

 

nice setup! noob question, but what are those style jacks called again lol someone help me out

 

Nothing that's not been done before, but I really like them. P3 trailer brake controller, and center console safe.

 

Most call them dead weight...HiLift

 

Come buy them off me, I'll give you a good deal!

 

Lol, thanks! If it was in the budget, you would have a deal!

 

New bumper. I think the chrome needs to be black?!

 

I say white .Imo

 

This is the first picture I can recall that shows the new 3-piece design. Does it seem pretty solid?

 

It’s f’in heavy n solid. Total of 170lbs or so. Took some work to get the fit but it’s nice and solidly built. Didn’t come all dented or scratched like some had said. I like it! For ~$600, it’s a good alternative. I had to replace the bumper anyway so this wasn’t too bad a stretch for the money.

 

Did it come in, like, 5 different boxes? It was my understanding one of the reasons they went with the 3-piece designs across all their front bumpers was ease of shipping with standard carriers. Do you have to bolt the ends to the middle piece (loosely) prior to attaching the middle piece to the winch plate? Thanks for entertaining my questions. You're the first "live one" with the new bumper I've seen!

 

It came in 2 boxes. Ends and the middle. Yes, you have to bolt the ends to the middle and then put it on the front. Adjusting the sides up and down, front to back to get it to look right. If i hit something with this. I feel sorry for that huh cause this thing is not going anywhere.

It also came with absolutely no instructions. Soooo you really have to figure it out.

This is my work truck so i really hope my plow can fit on it. We will know more when my mount comes.

 

Awesome. Thanks again. Would be interesting to see how much front weight the plow and bumper add.

From what I've gathered, the Smittybilt Gen2 Tundra bumper install instructions are pretty adequate (sans the bolt-on ends).

 

Put on my tiny Ronin antenna

 

Filled it up. Bout all you can do this time of the year except drive it.
