Just bought a 2nd Gen and looking for tasteful mod advice!

that’s a wicked photo

 

18x9.5 Black Rhino-Armory(desert sand) wheels, and 35x12.5 Nitto Trail Grappler MT s. The color contrast between wheels and paint works for me, but not sure they would look good against black paint. They do have matte black Armory s though.

 

Not sure I'd describe any of the moderators, or "mods" as you kids call them, as particularly tasteful. Here's a list though.

 

Thank you!

Snow is kind of rare in these parts, and you have to act fast is you want pictures of it.

 

I hadn't seen any others with the molding. Learned it was aftermarket when I tried to find it in black thru toyota parts. It serves a great purpose, just wish it was black.

 

mega + 1..the Morimotos headlights change the whole front end. how you like the MT tires ? I keep going back and forth between another set of hybrid or go MT.

 

Black Rhino seems to have the wheel of the year. They look great.

 

Having never driven on MT s I was struck by the growl of the tread pattern on asphalt, (especially coming to a stop). They have much stiffer sidewalls. They feel clamped to the highway though, and the tires as a whole have a grippy feel. Rolling over seems much more possible than before if one isn t mindfull of speed, and and sharpness of a turn. (No doubt the lift greatly contributes to that property.) They tear up the dirt though

 

finally someone looking for quality parts and not just the cheapest.

morimoto has been covered. look into recon tail lights for similar level of quality. best advise is don't cheap out (like you mentioned) especially on parts that have to be exposed to weather all the time. people cheap out then come here or FB and complain about quality issues. checkout www.tech12volts.com if beats are a thing for you. if you have anyone in the family that is sensitive to stiff suspension, maybe look into ride adjustable coilovers where you can tune the compression. best thing since sliced bread imo. super comfy and better than stock when you want, turn some knobs and offroad capable when you want. like the fox coilovers 2.5" and 2.0" with res and the dsc feature.

last, if you're looking for some quality black badges can't go wrong with Pro oem's. find them here with part numbers. https://www.tundras.com/threads/ultimate-oem-toyota-parts-thread.10707/page-98#post-1815626

 

So I just got the front windows tinted. Headed to get the bumpers vinyl wrapped tomorrow. I also got a good deal on the Readylift 3/1 lift kit so I grabbed that and have an appointment in a couple weeks to have it installed.

I was wondering if anyone had seen any Tundras with some aggressive/sport wheels like the ones pictured below on this raptor. Thanks in advance if anyone has any clues on where I could see something similar.

 

don't know about the wheels but good luck on the bumpers. just picked mine up today wrapped in satin black

 

That looks good. How much did it debit your account for? Lol

 

You're already miles ahead right there

 

I went with 35% tint on the front windows because I live in Massachusetts and they are pretty strict up here.

 

ICON Compression or Rebound have that look.

BEAST. Thanks dog

 

With my Line-X'd bumpers, mesh grill, and tinted windshield, the smoke lens of the XB's looks pretty sweet.

 

The bumpers would look better with Line-x Premium.

 

Some dude brushed up against my truck in his clunker, and it put a large dip in the end of my bumper. We barely touched. I can t see putting any money into stock bumper. Think I m going to get this bumper and line x it. I m going to have them do it same color as my wheels. I feel sorry for anyone who gets a piece of this new bumper. Yours do look nice though. Just be carefull of other drivers.

 

This is the closest photo I have found. ADV1's on a Tundra. Its a very popular wheel for Ford Raptors which I like the look of, but I favor Toyota far over FORD,CHEVY,DODGE, ETC.

 

they look like 20's..not a big fan on 20's though. 18"s would be nicer imo

 

I like diode dynamics yellow fogs. I think they yellow really catches the eye. Although if I only had one pair of fog lights I think white adds more useful light. DD has sales regularly.

 

I was thinking of the exact same thing today. Either these or the roush style wheels in a 5x150. Think they make replicas somewhere?

 

I‘m usually a much bigger fan of the 17’s and 18’s but for some reason they look good on that raptor. Maybe it’s because the stance is so aggressive or maybe it just looks good on the raptor. Idk I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

 

Raptors have over sized fender flares, those wheels fill them up nicely. probably why

 

Tint on. Bumpers Wrapped. DeBadged (miserable process when glue has been set since 2007).

Happy with how it is coming along. 3/1 kit is supposedto be installed Tuesday.

 

thanks. cost was an arm and a leg. who needs those right? i live in silicon valley where everything, especially services, are super expensive. $200/bumper but I also paid a little extra to have each bumper removed, cleaned and wrapped off the truck so they could get it as cleanly done as possible before reinstall.

what did it run you? and is that gloss wrap?

 

Or the whole thing
