What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

No, just go 90 degrees towards the rear so the bar would be basically in line with, or behind the axle.

 

Any cutting or anything crazy for the install?

 

No. The bumper is a direct fit. It is the Rough Country for the 14 and up. I had it Line-X'ed to match the rest of the truck. I did use the 1/2 inch bumper shims and it lined up perfectly.

 

I removed the center console box, sat it on the edge of my tailgate, placed the safe in it where I wanted it (front passenger side corner), and used a white grease pencil to reach up from underneath and mark where the hole needed to be drilled in the safe. Then removed the safe and drilled the hole. Then put the console back in place and verified that the holes lined up. Then reinstalled everything and tightened down the bolt. For the bolt, I just used a longer version of the factory bolt.

 

I just looked up what you were talking about and found a pic. In my case the diff is still the lowest point so I'll likely leave it alone, but it does look neat running in line with the axle.

 

Just watched it while working out actually. Love the content @2020Platinum

Did you ever end up installing the resonator? I don’t tow very often but my driving is generally 35-40 mph city driving at low RPM or 75-80 freeway driving. Just trying to decide if I want to do the resonator right away or test for a while without.

 

Definitely run it a few hundred miles without. Unless it's totally unbearable, and you'll know that rapidly. Just my opinion.

 

Washed her up. Hard to see a good reflection on a white truck...

 

What brand “TRD Pro” inserts are those?

 

Took my 15 year old out for more driving. Introduced him to the 4wd system tonight. Did some driving in a gravel parking lot. He's going to be the only kid he knows that can drive a full-size rig, knows how to use 4wd and can change the oil.

 

Yes!

 

I have no idea. The dealership did them.

 

Ok, thanks

 

I installed headlight revolution led interior lights. Girlfriend got in the car and said “my god it feels like last call”. Yea they are bright

 

You are correct. When I did mine I started the boring out process then decided against it and just very carefully masked it off.

 

Ordered new tires, get them on tomorrow. Goodyear Ultraterrain A/T, pics to follow!!

285/70r17's for my Rock Warriors and the new hub caps should be here next week for them

 

Looks good! And it's possible to get white to show reflections. All about lighting and angles. I do it with my wife's van lol

 

Installed inner black door handles and the OEM tailgate lock.

 

Did you get a chance to snap a couple of pics with door handles installed?
You sure have been busy!

 

No, I didn’t. I can take some for you tomorrow. Yeppers! The wife spoils me. Lol

 

Thank you sir!

No sir, left resonator off and have no plans on installing it, the sound is perfect for me without it...even with towing the boat it’s awesome, I would def recommend leaving it off to see how ya like it first...you can always go back and install if needed...Thanks for watching!

 

AJT has a video as others have mentioned, I also have one that goes into a little more detail with how to get those pieces out, and drill out those plastic welds...let me know if I can help ya with any of it...I actually have videos of all AJT product installs, and how to completely disassemble dash for customizing, if you decide to go that route!

Nice. I've gone back and forth about the next mod and this is what I'm going to do. It totally changes the interior and provides some contrast with the cabin chrome making it more tolerable. I put Katzkin leather in my Tacoma in 2012 and it's still going strong even with a terrible dog puking incident a few years ago.

Two years of camping and dog and Skittles and I'm done with the factory Tundra fabric. Later this month my seats should look like yours but with black stitching.

 

Looks great! Which side bars are those÷ They tuck in nicely

 

What does it look like behind the screen? Like what does it look like from the side?

 

I think it looks superb SEM painted , I think this is what I will do to to few remaining chrome parts on the interior.

 

What did you go with and are you changing head unit and amp? I spoke to an audio shop who pointed out the difference between the ohms of the head unit vs the new speakers being different and that sound would be effected. I am super interested how it goes for you because the stock is trash!!!

 

LED lifeeee, so much better. Thanks @Roman

 

You mind posting a link, or at least a picture of the can of the SEM Trim paint? I think this is a great way to cover the blinding chrome parts without major surgery or changing the look by too much.

 

This is the trim paint, it works great but im not sure how well it bonds to the chrome plating. maybe someone can chime in.
