Let's see your VOODOO BLUE Tundra!

Just picked this up 3 months ago and this forum has already been answering questions for me so I just decided to sign up. This is a 2020 SR5 crew max with the TRD off road package plus and SR5 upgrade package. Felt like it hits the sweet spot! 38 gallon tank, buckets with a floor shifter, full LEDs on the nose etc etc! Looking forward to adding more than the window tint, spray bedliner, and the Toyota chrome exhaust tip here in the near future!

 

Awh YISS...

 

Just picked mine up today! Does the paint usually vary so much between a Robin's egg blue, a deep blue, and somewhere in between depending on lighting? This in person pic and the two advertisement pics should help understand my poorly worded question. I honestly thought I picked up the wrong colored truck when I got home with it, as it looks baby blue in the mirror, but deep blue in window reflections as I drive by. Most of your guys is a much deeper blue

 

Yes. It's all based off of lighting. Hence the name voodoo blue.
Same truck different lighting, you're not taking crazy pills lol.

 

I seriously thought I was taking crazy pills haha. That's good to know. Definitely will be blacking out the emblems/finding black wheels next, seems to make it pop

 

Black does make it pop. I am a fan of a little red as well. Really compliments the blue as well

 

Snapped this one today. Going to take some serious getting used to how much it changes haha. Have to tell myself to stop obsessing over how much it changes

 

Here is mine as it is currently.

I have been doing quite a few upgrades. I may have a problem.

 

Dipped the badges yesterday to see how they look, quite happy with them and will probably just leave them as is. Might try and pick out the spaces in "DRA". Black inlay for the tailgate is on order and should be here tomorrow or Thursday.

 

Looks great! Have same plans for this week. Now that the weather has been nicer = more mods!

 

Nice!

 

Anyone have any pics of a blue with the old pro rims/powder coated off road rims? Debating seeing if the dealership would entertain a trade of my stocks for a set of stocks they have on some of their sx models

 

Tire size?

 

35s. 315-70-R17

 

Better notify NITTO they're mis-marking their tires. To my calibrated eye they look more like 315 70R17's.

 

LoL just noticed that

 

Haha...Oops. Yeah they are 17s.

 

I was bustin' the balls of the guy who asked what size more than yours

But, I'll take the twofer. Never let a chance to bust some balls go unrewarded!

 

Make sure you wash behind the ears!
A recent post from a Land Cruiser forum:
In a foolhardy attempt to get just one more smile from the girls - I hit a mud hole on the way out. A big one.




Trouble started about 120 miles from home. The battery light came on and I watched the volt meter start dropping. My X2 power 27F got me 113 of the 120 miles before the truck sputtered and died. During that time, the AHC light came on, as did VSC, Airbag, and e-brake light. The center console also went dead.

I jumped the truck with my NOCO but it was too late. The truck wouldn't run. I ended up putting the truck on flat bed and dropping it off at my local indy shop. No surprise, the alternator was full of mud and had zero output. The X2 however did survive and held charge.

I get the truck back Thursday. Stupid expensive lesson to learn. For those of you keeping track, this is the second alternator I've paid for - first one died of natural causes though, not stupidity.

 

Here’s my VooDoo blue! It’s got Havoc nerf bars, I put TRD wheels on it, a flowmaster outlaw exhaust and added two amps and two 12 inch subs to the inside. I also purchased black badges and the TRD skid plate. Not sure why my next buy will be yet.

 

Dechrome! Black or color matched mirror caps, bumper end caps or even better aftermarket bumpers!

 

Yes I'm looking at the black door handles also the mirrors. Had not looked at bumpers. May have to look at those too. Any idea where to buy good bumpers? Or are they easy to find?

 

Depends on needs and wants. Winch? Lights? Off road, steel, aluminum. Keep searching the site for info or just Google tundra aftermarket bumpers. Lots to choose from.

 

Quick wash before the storms roll through today. Notice anything different?

 

Rear trd sway bar?

 

Removed the black vinyl on the doors and the "trd sport" bed decal

Hoping to black out the badges tomorrow

 

Got the grille, mirror caps and bumper caps on order. Now to figure out the door handles. Found that TRD grille in black, looks sweet.
