What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

This really should have been the first set of photos I put on here. Long story short these are the first pictures I have of my tundra, other then the day I bought it . I was at oak island NC when the hurricane hit and these are highlight photos I took at 2 o clock in the morning once it passed. Not sure how my truck or my brother in laws Tacoma came out unscathed. By the way if your ever thinking of riding out a hurricane don’t.

 

It is but he offers pretty good discounts from time to time. I got mine $250 off during one of their flash sales

 

Agreed...got my 10” system at a great price as well...and after talking with Keith you quickly realize he’s forgotten more than most of us will ever know about our Tundras...very knowledgeable and friendly guy who builds these kits specifically for our trucks...and the sound is perfect!

 

Thanks much for the link, I like it, so I ordered it.

 

I ordered mine on 6/28 and received last week. Mind you, DD told me it would be about 4-5 weeks when I ordered. At 5 weeks I called them and they had a supplier issue and that added a week and a half. I'm not complaining, and I understand supply chain issues during these times. All in all, very good product, and I'm happy.

 

me too, in black

 

Been remiss in updating info on my wife’s truck ‘Clarke’. 3.5” Rough Country lift with BF Good 305’s, TRD dual exhaust, and TRD Pro front grille. Ceramic coated and clean before the NC beach trip. Performed flawlessly in some deep sugar sand.

 

A brief break from the smoke so I added some Coachbuilder +3 Shackles. I can barely notice a difference but I wanted a bit more rake since the next mod will be a Leer shell. It's riding 1/2" higher

 

You said your nameless was no lufflers, right? The link you were given were for his standard systems that have mufflers, so that's part of the difference. If you want a straight pipe like your Nameless, then you need to look at the budget systems from @dirtydeeds. They're cheaper than the standard systems.

Side note: I had a Nameless exhaust on my WRX. Still miss that car.

 

I have done the inner and outer skin of the doors, the back wall, and about 18” of the back floor....road noise is definitely less and better bass response from the door speakers.

 

Do you have any details of your power port install? Thanks

 

Tedious but worth it.. !!!

 

Yes it works great, did mine a few months back. World of difference, would do it again in a heart beat. I did the sound deadening pads, then added a layer of insulation. So much quitter, and so much easier to cool the inside of the cab now.

Made such a difference, went ahead and did it on my girlfriends CRV.

 

Here are the parts I used:
Male 15a outlet:

$24 15 Amp AC Power Inlet Port Charger Plug, by Journeyman-Pro 110-125 Volt Socket, Waterproof Electrical Outlet Receptacle, 20" Integrated Outdoor RV/Shore Extension Cord 5-15R (5278GCP1)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F6HVFH4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Power strip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z8XVL8Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I installed the outlet into the bumper and installed a 3 outlet waterproof power strip in the drivers rear of the bed (mounted to side of bed). Drilled a hole through the bed for the cord from the power strip and connected the 2 together. Here's some more pictures of the entire battery setup:

3 outlet power strip installed in bed that connects to bumper power port. Yeti AC adapter connects here:


AC & DC plugs run from the Yeti battery box to the rear corner of the bed. The GoalZero box here is the DC charging adapter and plugs into a 12v outlet I installed for when the truck is running (also has a cutoff so it doesn't drain battery).



Everything runs back to the battery box behind the fridge which is a Rubbermaid bin with a Yeti 400 Lithium inside.


I have a 4x8mm splitter that allows me to have AC, DC & solar connected simultaneously so I don't have to keep opening the box to switch power inputs.

 

So far, color matched tonneau by Undercover, color matched fender flares (OEM), Tundra bed mat, removed stickers from sun visors, removed rectangular badge from fenders and the 4x4 on the tailgate, added 1 1/2" wheel spacers by Supreme Suspensions, added an LED under the tailgate light strip (from my Tacoma), replaced the black push start button with a red one (also from my Tacoma). Still waiting for Vararam or someone to produce a true ram air that utilizes the fake hood scoops.

 

Thanks! What materials did you use, and are there instructions somewhere on how to do all this without screwing up the ceiling or other interior trim?

 

not sure about instructions, here's a couple of photos what I did and what I used:

So are these the specific materials you used? Kilmat comes in different thicknesses. These two combined would be 200 mil thickness total. Any issues reinstalling the headliner with this added thickness?

$70 KILMAT 50 mil 50 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

$50 Noico Red 150 mil (4mm) 36 sqft (3.4 sqm) Noico Liner Car Heat and Sound Insulation,Heat and Cool Liner, Self-Adhesive Closed Cell Foam (PE Foam)

EDIT: Also, did you use both of these materials for all the surfaces other than the ceiling? Or just the Kilmat?

 

That’s an awesome setup you’ve got, thanks for the write up!

You should pick up one of these, it helps the mount be a little more solid: https://www.etsy.com/listing/776335105/scangauge-ii-mount-for-a-toyota-tacoma
It's just a 3d printed piece of plastic that provides a flat mounting surface for that location.

 

Yes that looks like exactly what I used. Only did the insulation on the roof. I had no issues reinstalling the headliner.

 

Not sure if you got an answer on this yet but go on eBay and order an OEM paint pen/brush from a Toyota dealer. Just put your paint code and “Toyota” in the search and it will come up in the results. You could also check with your local dealer to see if they have it in stock.

edit..I did a little research for you:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/254533913912

 

TVD Vinyl Heritage Grille stickers. $3.99 on Etsy.

 

Had to get one of these, my 3 weeks old truck has a rock chip on the corner bumper that's noticeable. Almost went to the dealer. Probably gonna want $50 for the pen paint. $15 on eBay. Thanks

 

I think the dealers get around $19 for the paint pen. Not too bad.

 

Thanks that's a great idea. I have a 3d printer so i'll see if I can find the file or design one on my own.

Edit: Found this one for a 4Runner so will find out shortly if it'll work or not.

Edit 2: printed it out and works pretty well!

 

Do you have a pert number for the skid plate and step?

 

Check out eBay as someone is selling one cheap NIB. Or sparks has them also. 00016-34093
