What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Dang it! Something else to add to my wish list!

 

Hahaha...sorry man!...this one is def worth it, nice feature to have...especially on the rear window if ya have a Crewmax!...it’s nice cause it works from your drivers switches or your passengers can also use the feature from their own switch

 

Do you have to buy a kit for each window? I have a 2020 1794 so only need the two rear doors and the back window to be added. And I guess I would still use the existing switches once installed? I watched the video at increased speed (for now) and may have missed that detail.

 

Yes sir, same here with my 2020 Platinum...I only needed 3 (2 for back door windows and 1 for rear sliding window)...you just add a module to any window that doesn’t already have the capability and use the factory switch...I actually got lucky and found a gentleman selling 4 modules for $65 (plus shipping), so I jumped on it...have 1 left over that’ll I’ll be selling, if you watch and look around you can find some good deals on em!

 

I also did paint. A light sanding with 800 wet, a coat of plastic primer and then two coats of matte black. The shifter gate is the easiest piece to do.

 

Did you take them apart to paint or paint them whole? This has been bugging me too.

 

I say keep 'em... looks awesome!

 

Took it apart, just unscrew it all the way.

 

Another project has been completed and crossed off a list this evening.

I had been indecisive about engine bay lighting for too long and finally pulled the trigger. I am pleased with the end result. Borrowing the idea from @Inquiringone, I too, opted for an in-cab switch. I have ordered one that will read “Engine Bay Lights”. However, in the meantime, I am using one that @Squatting Pigeon hooked me up with that I will later use in the pre-Tacoma truck, gracias.

A thank you to @mattgecko for his assistance, quick efficient shipping, and quality product.

 

Thank you.

I just need 1 unit for my passenger side. If you want to sell it, please let me know.

 

hey jr1016. were you able to get the knob off before painting? I tried and it got a little tight while trying to unscrew it...……………..

 

Bath today. Also, added the OEM Toyota safe in the center console. Recently added the short sidebars for my Yakima rack and added the Yakima ReelDeal for our fishing rods. Hard to find! Lastly, add the OEM bed step about a month ago. Still waiting on my kayak to be delivered.

 

After having the airbags in for a while and especially since adding the cradles, I have noticed that the ride is definitely a bit stiffer, so I added a switch to control the compressor and a button to control an air valve to run them at 0psi. Haven't driven it yet but I did notice a difference with it unplugged and air line off. The glovebox was a perfect spot for me, out of the way but easy enough to get to , sure beats opening the hood and
pulling the fuse.

 

Matt,
I don't have this hole in your dash what was in there?

 

Awesome job as always brother!...you have great taste in mods...lol...this is one of my next projects, already have the lights on my work bench in the garage!...looks awesome!

 

Why does your bed say TUNDRA toward the front? Mine doesn't have this.

 

Factory bedliner adds this.

 

Those look great!
I have sliders and the TRD rear sway, do the mounts for the traction bars stay clear of those areas? Can you take some pics of where the T-bars mount? (Front and rear). I see the front a little in your post pic, but I can't really see it clearly. Did you have to driil the frame for those? Sorry for the many requests, I've been wanting a set of these and haven't seen many people with them to ask.

 

Weird. I have the factory spray-in bedliner and it doesn't have this.

 

Mine has it. Maybe the dealership did it not the factory.

 

Hi, Jim,
I cut the hole for the switch. (Let’s not tell @AzureNightmare. He was taken aback when I relayed how many holes and cuts I have made along the way.)

While not perfect, it is pretty close. I will still be doing some polishing around the edges to make it look just right. It was late last night...

Thanks for noticing!

 

A lot of scrub a dub dub inside & out and the obligatory...

 

Might be the case. Mine came with the spray in bed liner but it doesn't say Tundra. Either way, I love my bed liner and it had held up so I'm not worried.

 

That looks great.

 

I still maintain that you're a madman, @ElNopal !

 

Thanks hermano. It is getting rather difficult to find something that you have not beat me to nowadays. I think you will like the engine bay having lights, especially for when the mods take us into the night.

¡Muchísimas gracias!

Thank you kindly Jim.

Perhaps you may be on to something...

 

Nothing huge, just got rid of the front end chrome. Just wanted to give a huge thanks to @Roman for the help and guidance on what I needed. Since Toyota decided to change the emblems for the new Tundras he was able to get me an older grill without needing to purchase the new emblem.

 

Yeah just push down on the spring and keep turning. You either have to turn the big plastic nut or the metal screw.

It came from the factory with the Bedliner.

 

I like the look of them. They aren't in channel, however the front ones have a little lip that tuck in behind the plastic part of where the mirror assembly is. I had the in channel ones on my 19 and I definitely like the look of these better. Can't remember the part number.
Thanks. Truck is getting there. About to order the hidden winch mount from SDHQ for my Warn VR EVO 12S.
