What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'm in the same boat. I keep hearing rumors that the 2018 Tundra will have LED headlights which sounds half way believable seeing as they are doing that to their cars. If not, I'm sending bleu some dinero.

 

Today I wove together a symphony of obscenities laying under my truck trying to get the grease gun fitting on the front driveline zerks. Got it done, but the fitting kept coming off as I was pumping so I got grease everywhere which makes my truck smell awesome after it warms up. It sucks, but I still don't trust the dealership to do it.

 

The Retros were my Christmas... And it was still a hard sell to the wife, lol.

 

I remember most of the older techs would but the lube techs were always notoriously bad at not.

Of course most of our Tundra customers wanted a 30 minute oil change and tire rotation.

I would've loved to see one of those guys drop and reinstall the skid plates, hit all the fittings, and rotate those heavy wheels/tires in 30 minutes. Easily an hours worth of work with a decent inspection that paid .5

 

Yeah, Im not saying that all techs are dirtbags, I understand that they are under a time constraint. Ive only taken it to a dealership once for it's first oil change and specifically asked to make sure the driveline got greased. After I got home, I crawled under the truck and noticed all the zerks still had paint on them. Previously I said that I don't trust the dealer which is why I do my own maintenance, but the whole truth is I enjoy working on MY truck.

 

Is there a website to look at your setup on lights were he sells them!

 

If they do, would we be able to buy a set for our 2016 & 2017 Tundra's, that would be awesome!

 

No way of knowing. Im just hoping that they will fit if they even go that route.

 

yep, I hear you!

 

Added the spod system to my crewmax. Allows up to 6 accessories to be attached and the switch panel mounts in the sunglass holder (never could get my glasses in there).

This thing is well made and a nice addition. Now I need to fill it with accessories!!!

 

Got M1 sliders installed. Love the fact that brackets wrap the frame.

 

He does have a website, but he doesn't have pics of all the configurations. It does have pics of the individual pieces used to build the retro. http://retrofitwholesale.com/ You will have to email him what setup you want and he can price it out for you.

 

Can you post a link, that is a genius place to put switches. I also can't fit my sunglasses either, so this would work perfectly. Good looking install.

Awesome product indeed! I'll get pictures of the engine bay tomorrow. Hardest part was getting through the grommet on the firewall!

 

Hmm.. did you ask for them to modify it to have the bottom row LEDs? I have mine installed from almost a year ago but it's only a single LED per switch (when activated). Maybe they upgraded the model.

 

They just came out with the dual lit panel for the Tundra. The leds are pretty bright and looks good with the blue Toyota back-lighting. It's a little tight to squeeze everything in there with the dual lit panel but looks great

 

Thanks man!

 

those sliders look good they are similar to my sliders are they sprayed with line-x ?

 

They are powder coated. But come with 5 year warranty. Since I live in area where we don't use salt on the roads, I'm not too concerned about it. I may consider spraying them with Linex in the future.

 

Installed wet okole seat covers today

 

where are the seat's, I can't see any seats!

 

Finally stopped snowing long enough to sneak in a rinse between storms.

 

Returned from deployment today and drove it for the first time in seven months. It's great to be home again with the family! Also, I forgot just how nice these trucks are.

 

Welcome home, Brother welcome home!

 

Welcome home!

 

Welcome home, Sir.

Nice boat.

 

Got the message I've been dying for thanks to @eledobleu that my headlamps have been completed and are en route back to me.
He also sent along some pictures, which I'll post up once I'm home and on my computer.

Then it's just waiting to install!

 

Thank you for your service!
