silver with black tailgate insert

 

I think the black inserts look best on the SSM - the contrast is even better than on white trucks.

 

I agree and I think the black emblems look best on ssm too!

 

I've thought about the black emblems but haven't done any mods yet. Just got the truck last week.

 

Makes a big difference from the chrome...

 

How hard is it to take the chrome off?

 

I ghosted my american flags though so I wouldn't have too much black.

 

I masked around my chrome emblems for reference first. Next I used heavy fishing line and worked it back and forth (like a saw) until they fell off. Then used a pinstripe eraser wheel to remove the leftover glue. Thoroughly cleaned the surface and applied new emblems. Now with that said they make emblem overlays that cover the chrome. I don't think they look as nice and some say they come off going down the road.

 

She got the bath and wax
Also did chalk test;
295/70 R18 TOYO AT3
Front 36psi
Rear 35psi with 300 pounds in the bed

 

Nice setup bro

 

I get the clean look blacking everything out and the thought crossed my mind but I dare to be different. Went with the chrome lettering inserts instead.

 

most of us try to get rid of the chrome, but that looks good

 

Thanks!

 

Where did you get the black emblems? Did they have the adhesive foam on them?

 

Yessir they did. They're trd pro factory emblems. I believe I got mine from a toyota dealer on ebay

Awesome! Thank you!

 

Here's my 2021 Silver Sky Tundra Crewmax. Upgrades are on the way!

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Welcome 21TundraJeff

 

Just purchased today. 9 miles on it

 

Sweet truck! Be prepared to spend next weeks paycheck on mods if you hang out in this forum very often

 

Great looking Tundra Orracle and welcome to the forum!

 

Been gone for a while, as my wife's small business has been exploding, and since retiring, I now work for her.

So ... I had this 2018:



The other day, my wife was like, "Look at this pic of this cool Tundra on the lot," [from where my son works].

I was like, and .

Then, this '21 Limited Crewmax happened:



Much of this is @chphilo's fault, as I always liked his truck.

Now, I have to make a decision [cuz I am building a huge covered deck on my house and remodeling the entire basement, paying as I go, which restricts my funds right now].

The predator steps will be here Wednesday. [Also, ordered black TUNDRA letters for the tailgate, a MUST HAVE little thing IMO.]

I can either spend money like this [OPTION ONE]: Bilstein 5100s and Falken Wildpeaks [LT285/75/18], and bug deflector [another little, MUST HAVE for me].

Or OPTION TWO, I could Line-X my bed [tragically, the truck came without it, sigh] and buy a high-quality, retractable tonneau cover and a few other smaller odds and ends. [I might just go with a bed mat to save money for a while. This is a horrible idea, right?--cuz it will make my bed rust badly? I don't know, I've never had a bed mat before. Anyone know?]

Or OPTION THREE, get a DECKED system and a tonneau.

Whatta' ya' all think?

A few final thoughts:

• I think I'm keeping the stock exhaust and rims on this one too.
• I've gone from 6-inch lifts to leveled in the past several years; now, my wife says, "I like the rake better because I can see out more easily." [She's five foot tall; I am much taller and leveled improves my view, I think.] I don't think I can live with the rake long-term, but maybe, I'm growing as a person?
• Gotta' get window tint at some point.

Just pondering ...

 

Beautiful truck! I vote option one but to me a spray on bedliner is a must especially since yours is brand new so I'm conflicted also
