What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Did you plastidip the chrome part of your handles or have them wrapped? Looks great as I would like to do the same on my cement colored truck.

 

No problems with bent corners on my safe...of.course mine was $400 lol.

 

Started install of the flush mounts.

 

Wow! That $15 set of pliers I used really paid for itself! That's a ($400-$58)/$15 = 2280% ROI!!!!!

 

Finally got to installing Coupes Battery Hold down and Charvonia Billet tie downs. Have two more to replace the far hooks but they’ve been all lineX sprayed

 

Black door handles. Slowly phasing out the chrome.

 

They are wrapped.

 

I was gifted this grille insert from a friend/fellow member by surprise, so I put it on today. Definitely sets it apart. May color match or black out the chrome surround down the road. Happy about how it changed it from the chrome SR5 grille it had before. Took me about 20 mins start to finish

 

Maybe blue Toyota letters in the future?

Sorry, just had to ask lol

 

Very generous friend. Looks good.

 

No...for real, I'm already considering it. Thought about seeing if someone like TVD decals had an overlay on my color or something.

Yes sir! Thnx man

 

That would look amazing.

Kelly, well said brother, well said...

 

Looks awesome! Some trd pro or other black housing headlights would help tie it in also. I did this shortly before full chrome delete mod happened.

 

I agree! As my wife and I were looking at it in the garage, I was telling her how much I'd love to have the TRD pro headlights. She concurred, but told me to go back inside and stop trying to spend more money right now lol

 

Just a tad bit advice to get the hooks into an approval from wifey. Change the headlight improvement from an appearance upgrade into a performance upgrade. Spin it so safety is the main priority. There's plenty of evidence out there on how shitty the stock halogens perform. The OEM leds are a huge improvement. Now that she already agreed they look much better, to help get you over the edge complain about having a hard time seeing at night with your current setup. Tell her they not only look better but they perform 10x better. You'll be able to see so much better at night and if she's in the truck with you, her safety is your main priority. Hopefully that little spin on her safety might just get you over the edge into an approval for purchase. Good luck.

 

Installed ProClip Phone holder today.

Use a magnetic screwdriver.

 

Unfortunately (and fortunately I guess) my wife knows me well. Anything with the truck she is smart enough to know things and how I am. I have 3 girls under 5 and have tried to utilize them as a safety concern with other stuff and she's told me to...er...."f@ck off" haha. She knows damn well its cuz I want it lol. Unfortunately, she also knows that I have better than 20/20 vision, so I cant use the visibility excuse either lol. If I hadn't just bought a new pellet grille for my birthday coming in march, she'd prob be cool with me buying the TRD PRO led headlights

 

First wash in almost 2 months thanks to crappy weather. Supposed to rain Sunday but who cares, needed a bath!

 

You get a foam cannon?

 

The halogen Tundra headlights are good, but the LED's are next level. My wife has spotted deer and other animals well out into the ditches or out in front so there's no need for emergency braking, just gently slow down. If you're mostly driving in the city then sure, the safety excuse doesn't really fly, but if you're driving out in the country it is absolutely worth spending the money on them.

For perspective I've been trying to sell both chrome and black halogen headlights, and one time I had a buyer really interested in them - when talking about why I was selling, and why they were buying I pretty much talked them out of buying my headlights and into buying LED's. That's how much better I think they are, I basically cost myself 300 bucks because I couldn't sell them an inferior product for what they wanted.

 

Dang! I hope you’re not a salesman!

 

Did it arrive with a bent corner? Someone on this forum showed that the company posts a product picture with a bent corner too. It’s insane that it’s the norm. Oh well.

 

Haven't been home yet to check. In a plot twist, my wife was home today and I had three things being delivered, I'm usually home first on Fridays! She hasn't mentioned them yet.....

 

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you Bud!

 

Haha sounds just like mine, knows me too well to trick, especially the F off part lol.

 

Finally had the fronts tinted

 

Installed this 6 relay switch control panel on my console. I'm very impressed with the build quality of this kit, especially for $130. It was a tight squeeze to mount the relay control box under the hood of my 2020 double cab, but it fits! I like how the buttons feel and the case is metal, which just feels sturdy. The under hood portion has a separate relay and fuse for each button. I brought the control cable into the cab via the rubber nipple under grommet on the drivers side. Only the rear lighting is hooked up on my bumper so far but, expansion is in the future.
