What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I can get you one later when I get off shift. But if you stand over the headlights mines mounted on a flat spot just left of the driver headlight and right of the passenger.

 

I did this on my 4Runner with 10% ceramic tint and it greatly reduced the heat. But it didn't last long. Took a rock to the windshield and then the windshield proceeded to self destruct. It's almost like the tint made the windshield brittle.

The 4Runner has heating elements in the windshield around the sides and under the wipers. I couldn't turn the heating element on anymore after the windshield started grenading itself because the windshield would snap and pop and new cracks would show up. It was just strange.

Got the windshield replaced, didn't replace the tint, an never had an issue after that. Not sure if it's related or not but that was my experience with having a windshield with ceramic tint on it.

 

Good lord I need to go back to work.

 

Yeah don't kill yourself. I haven't decided if I'm gonna install the resistors yet. I have them and was going to when I put in the headlights but I only had 3 T taps out of the 4 I needed to make a decent connection. I'm not crazy about adding them due to them getting hot and so far with my sound system it hasn't driven me crazy yet. However I did notice both the front n rear hyperflash which is pretty annoying. I'm still up in the air but yeah definitely, if u have a solid spot that has space and been trouble free for ya first some time I'm open to check it out. I might just end up installing them anyway for those rare occasions my stereo is not blasting. Thanks in advance.

 

This is on my short list of things to do next. I didn't realize it was an option until recently! Just need to save a little for it as the ceramic stuff isn't cheap, but I'm sure it'd be worth it here.

 

Damnnnn..... that’s cool! With all these posts from everyone I definitely need to get back to work...

 

Brought out that Inferno color with a bath today. Every time I wash it, I remember what the faster color is.
Now we wait for delivery of new @RCIoffroad Skid, the new Bed Storage Panels from @Caliraisedled and some trims from AJT.

Also, I've been using this Tire Foam for years on cars and trucks. I cannot recommend it enough if you want that brand new tire shine. Spray on and let it work. (In the shade)
Anyone have any recommendations for a beginner coat for the summer?
Considering Wipe Away Polishes or Clay Bar.

 

Xpel ceramic coated and Xpel headlight PPF installed.
Sticker on rear window.



And still waiting on Bakflip to get their crap together. Over a week with zero answers as to when they are going to ship me a replacement cover. Their customer service is horrendous. I respect that the Chinese coronavirus is affecting everything but a email stating it’s going to take a few weeks would be respectable.

 

Just a small “mod” today. New flag Tundra

 

So many people doing chrome delete you would think Toyota took the hint and just stopped putting chrome on their cars and trucks

 

Received my new Bulge and Grill with Color Matched surround last night. Thanks @Roman perfect match

 

Amp PowerSteps has finished the exterior mods...so I tell the wife. I like the cleaner look.

May paint the pinch weld strip flat black so it disappears. (Phantom 2" lift)

 

They got the hint loud and clear. Keep putting the chrome and they‘ll be able to make a profit off color matched parts.

 

No, they definitely have a version without chrome, or the TRD Sport package. You just have to buy a bunch of other stuff. https://www.downeasttoyota.com/blog/what-are-the-2019-toyota-tundra-sx-package-features/

 

After seeing the dash removal I feel like a slacker! I pulled the small rear seat because I drive around with it upright. Because I wanted to put a rifle back there. Because the dog bed can go there. Because we put our travel bags there when we go camping. Because I’m going to eventually put some sort of drawer or storage there.

 

Cup holder top chrome delete & Motor cover ...

They got you by the balls either way. One way or another most people are going to pay extra to get rid of the chrome.

 

I don't know about that. I think you are 100% right that most members here would, but most buyers aren't on this forum. I would be more inclined to think that most buyers of almost all vehicles tend to leave them however they drove them off the lot. Pure speculation on my part.

 

Where the cup holders from?

 

Replaced the TRD carpet mats with oem rubber, added door sill protectors all around, oem bed mat and replaced the stock center caps with TRDs. Thanks @Roman for the great prices!

 

ACCENTGLOWLED

 

How many of those little screws did you put in each light?

 

Switched out the front bumpstops today after work. Doing the rears this weekend. I forget do I need to jack up the rear end to loosen the bolts and slide out old bumpstop and put in new one?

 

Nope, you can do it while it's on it own weight. No jack needed.

 

That’s what I thought. I’ve messed with them a few times just couldn’t remember and didn’t want to waste time

 

LEDs everywhere!

 

Great job man! That is one sharp looking rig!

Make sure to post when the other goodies are installed!

 

Yeah, while it may be dumb (Okay I admit it is dumb), it brings me a smile and a chuckle.. tee, hee, ha!

 

I like chrome myself but that looks really good
