What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nothing excited for me to report, got my tires balanced.

 

Looks like this will be my next weeks DIY.

 

Mirror caps done.

 

I did some work on my grill and bumpers today. Got tired of that huge chrome thing looking at me. this turned out to be an all day project but it was fun.

 

Looks awesome. Good job. Gonna be doing my badges this week.

 

I did plastidip as a test to see if i liked the black out look with this color. I do! I will probably get some color match stuff as I start replacing things but this is a great temporary fix. I did badges last week

 

Nice. I did my Jeeps wheels with plasti and when I traded it in for my truck on Friday they still looked like new.

 

I used plastidip. That stuff is amazing

 

Finally got my SDHQ Rocksliders installed yesterday morning. Love them! Light and strong. Make a decent step too... My short little wifey is very happy with them too.

Can't say enough good things about SDHQ either. Superb customer service and killer product!

 

It looks really nice

 

I just got my cleaned up this morning

 

I need to get rid off all the chrome

 

Thnx man! Super happy with them!

Ridiculously well built and strong, yet not a whole lot heavier than the Nerf Bars the truck came with... And those weren't going to last very long. Almost ruined those in the mountains in the first couple of weeks of ownership. LOL. These are more better! They tuck up in nice and tight, and in the event of 'contact' there's no way they are going anywhere.

 

Looks awesome! Would you mind posting a complete side shot?

 

Thnx man.

I will for sure. Next time I'm out and about.

 

Tried installing my radio letters today. No success...

Mike, I am real interested in knowing how your letters fit. I have a 2016 Platinum with Entune Premium radio and dual A/C controls. My new silver letters arrived and I attempted the install today. Unfortunately, they are too long which puts the proportion off - I measured the letters against the indent in the radio and they appear to be 1/16" too long. Rich is going to note this on the eBay web site, but I just wanted you to know of my issue in case you run into this yourself. He refunded my money and will try again later. It may be a 2016 only issue?

 

what did you use for prep work on the badges ?wash, dry and degrease ?

 

Lot of guys are washing drying aND then going over it with isopropyl alcohol. Probably could scuff them up a bit with 800 or 1000 grit sandpaper. I'm gonna do the sanding for sure on my end caps

 

Thanks! Paint match is perfect in addition to a lot less chrome to look at.

 

Same. I did the install and they didn't fit well. He also refunded my money right away. Awesome communication and great seller just has slight fitment issue. Said he would correct and let us know when they are ready. I have a 2014 platinum with dual climate controls.

 

Joining in some plastidip fun

 

@BlueBottle nice. Can't wait to do mine this week.

 

Yea I washed and dried then went over it with isopropyl alcohol. Used q tips in small areas like on badges. Prep takes a long time to tape and clean. The spraying is easy but if you do as much as I did this saturday using 6 cans you may feel like you have carpel tunnel.

 

That Looks sick bro. Good job

 

I prepped mine the same. But I used this to spray so I don't get carpel tunnel!

Smart. If I could do it over again definitely would get that!

 

Put a vinyl Hood Decal, but needs to be redone. It was 2 pieces and had a gap. Then plastidip'd the bumper ends, wow!

 

Oh and also did my cup ring.

 

Was that hard to pop out?
