What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I'm wanting to de-badge my truck, but I'm wondering if it's too late to. It's a 2016, so that's 4 years of sitting in the sun. I just don't want there to be a color difference when they come off. Any experience with this happening or not happening?

 

@Rely01 After 2 years of my truck being in the sun almost 24/7, I just removed my TSS stickers (see above post #39733). I can't see any color difference. Not sure what another 2 years would do though.

 

Alexis the "almost a lexus" was paid off today. No more payments for this guy.

 

Ah, did some more digging. The link I was looking for is https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/online-store/2016-Tacoma-2020-Tundra-2020-4Runner-c35615008 which is different then the V2 link. Gonna get one ordered. THx

 

Yes I do

 

ESP Plastic Storage installed today. Cut inside lines for a tight fit.

 

Sorry for late response. I see someone else pointed in the right direction for you. If you have any more questions just DM me.

 

I'll take it! How much?

 

FWIW I took a badge off my 14 in 2017 after I bought it and you can still see it at certain angles.

 

Just sent an email to AJT to see if he's going to make a black volume rocker. Hopefully he will.

 

What paint did you use? Thanks

 

Do you have a link to the install of these panels? I just received mine today and can’t find any install.

 

I had the dealer grab me a truck from MN so I didn’t have to wait to July for my Tundra...
Just a Refresh - 2020 MGM Tundra Limited Double Cab TRD, w/ premium limited (parking sonar, BSM, ... )

I did the first mods today..

1) TRD dual exhaust with black chrome tips (done)
2) Tyger pho slider side steps (done)
3) Bed Mat put that in
4) CoverKing seat covers - un packed them, hopefully I’ll get those done tonight

 

This was one of my first mods. No one has any clue what kind of key that is and everyone always does a double take. Way cooler than the stock key that’s for sure!

 

A must for the crew max models!

 

My boxers would definitely disagree with you. They ride in the truck on a regular basis as I take them to a battlefield park for hiking when possible. As mentioned before, if not for the limited backseat space I would be over in the taco forum. But, you all are cool to hang out with.

 

Did a mini detail and tried out the Powerlock and Collinite 845 combo. I’m impressed

 

Great post showing each step! I don't know why Toyota wasted all that space! I wish they would have made the buildup only about 20% of what they did. I may do this to my truck in the future. But still waiting for my Peragon cover to come in now.

 

It's because of the seat mounting frames they use. They are large and thick and run forward between where those ESP bins go, so Toyota would have to use different seat mounts to make that hump much smaller than it is. That's partly why the ESP long box is so expensive. They have to provide new lower profile seat mounts to allow the box to run the width of the cab.

 

What size Hi-Lift jack did you go with. The 60’ is only a couple more dollars than the 48’ but I think it’s overkill.

 

Thank you both. I'm sure it depends on the color quite a bit. Hopefully the silver on my truck won't show too bad. Did you do the removal yourself or have it done?

 

Nothing new but the view.

 

Honestly, on a whim this morning I just peeled if off hahaha start at one corner and pick at it until its peeling up, then slowly work along the top. Then slowly pull it down. It came off pretty smoothly. Left a little residue but nothing some goo gone didn't fix. Then just hit it with some windex to remove the goo gone residue. I just used my finger nails to get under the edge. Do not use a sharp blade or you could damage your paint.

 

Pulled the rear and passenger seats for preparation, installing tech12volt upgrade tomorrow.

I guess I should consider doing the sound deadening and folding seat mod while I’m at it?

 

Drove up to Tennessee today, to look at a truck and this happened.

 

Giving my steering wheel trim a color match with MGM by Duplicolor.
Please ignore the MGM barbie - she's just there to hold up the volume switch for the paint job, lol.

Interior nearly complete except for swapping door handles.

 

Agreed. I'm probably going to be getting a Cane Corso anyday now which get up to around 150 lbs and possibly a 2nd at anytime from this weekend going forward. Being able to fold the seats up to have them ride in the back of the cab without jumping up and tearing up my leather would be great. I think the storage boxes back there could make that less feasible getting in the way and would be less comfortable for any dogs. I will say if it wasn't for that or if I had a bed cap I do think the esp storage boxes cut into the floor is a great idea I'd love to have.

Between driving to Queens to meet a breeder and picking up kayaks for the kids wifey is driving me nuts having me always on the move.



Felt the need to wash off the corona Queens and clean it again.



Love the finished product.




Gotta say the truck really stands out when it's cleaned all nicey nice.

 

Looking good as usual Mike.

 

May as well since you've gone that far - which one did you get? The system I got from James didn't need the rear seats pulled since it was just the sub wires that needed ran back there. You will love the results that's for sure.

 

I purchased the non jbl bundle with single sub box.
I’m assuming (hoping) the box goes behind the seat? He gave me a walk through and the second step is remove “passenger seats”?
