Already ordered em

 

Wash & wax & some detailing....



edit: cool Pic at dusk added

 

scored some *power folding* oem tow mirrors on craigslist. read a few places that platinums aren’t wired for the drl amber marker light on mirrors and, yup, they aren’t. doesn’t mean you can’t fix that...took a few hours, but managed to run power thru the doors and bam! drl’s that operate when front end drls are turned on. these things are effin sweet and yuuuge!

Badass. I like the drl upgrade. May have to do this with mine. By far one of the best mods on these trucks. So much more visible

 

Finally got the d-ring mod done. Chopping those factory washers wasn't as easy as it should have been....but I'm still using 1 arm and a cutting wheel made for aluminum. Either way, huge improvement! Looking into Ratpor liner sometime soon
Thanks for the great write up @csuviper

Next...finalize the 35" dual spare carriers with the additional d-rings. Where do you purchase helper monkeys around here?

 

Do you tighten these down all the way or keep it loose so they swivel?

 

I used raptor liner wasnt to impress. It does look nice. It worn out where i had a 5 gallon water jerry style can strapped down on a trip to mojave.

 

Tightened and torqued, no swivel here. Might be possible with some unique washer setup, I didn't want to jeopardize the weight capacity.

@Civiceg94 Good to know, cross that one off the list. Much appreciated!

 

get it Line-X. It has lifetime warranty too.

 

@CaptSpaulding your welcome. I have left over raptor liner i plan to use if i ever get sliders. It does have good grip.

 

Yup, that looks like my best option. Thanks!

 

Pulled off my emblems and put on chrome/black ones that would match the new Texas flags I put on. Not happy with the decals though, seller printed them with a white border! Cut them as best as I could.

you gotta grow your own hell monkeys.

 

Hardwired my Vantrue X3 Dashcam, 1440p recording to catch dumbasses on the road...everyone should have a dashcam these days, never know when you get into those situation where he say she say goes against you.

Our windshields have these dot matrix thing, only place i could mount it was here.

 

Howd you hardwire? I have a Rexing V1 and it comes with a stupid cigarette lighter style.

 

I tapped into the fuse box, using the same fuse that the cig lighter uses. You'll need to get a kit that will transform 12 volts into 5volts that power these cams though, it's like $10 for that.

 

this guy is awesome..and has the TX flag magnet. made in USA too...easy on easy off.

Washed my truck and installed this headlights on it

 

Also plasti dipped the emblems and put tint cover on my license plate.

 

What lights are these?

 

I got them from autolightpros
TOYOTA TUNDRA BLACK CRYSTAL HEADLIGHTS - SPEC-D - (PAIR) 2LH-TUN07JM-RS-XZ4V80 1...... I paid $119.98 for them.

 

Might want to get those rust spots fixed before you cover it up. That'll rot through like mine did

 

may not seem like much, but got another new windshield. the dealer had safelite put one in when i bought it a little over a year and a half ago, but it got chipped up right away, then sandblasted on multiple trips across wyoming at winter, and it finally started cracking. the new w/s guy (blue crush auto glass) said he was surprised it didn't leak as there wasn't any glue and i didn't think i had the heated windshield, but i did...safelite just cut the wires when they installed it. blue crush fixed it and it should work now.

 

When ever I need a new windshield I tell them that it has the heated wiper park area, the gradient tint at the top, and the pagnatied area by the rear view mirror. The next time that mine needs to be done, I'm also going to mention that I'm willing to pay the difference for the windshield that comes in the Limited or Platinums that have some sort of additional UV layer to keep from getting quite so hot.

 

Just installed 22' kb voodoo bed rack.

 

Added Morimoto XB foglights and RW paint matched grille. Matched mirror caps/handles will be here Tuesday.

 

The build is really coming along nicely!

 

Thanks sir! Next up I'll need to figure out suspension. Thinking 6112/5160 combo.

 

If you do go with that let me know what you think of that set up. I’m trying to see what best suspension i go with....

 

Looks good
