What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Welcome! And your truck looks great!

 

This reminded me to go put one in mine!

 

Good! Got this at wally mart for $15.

 

Don't say that.....I've got these in my cart or I think it is this set?? They are AVS low profile, but the listing is different. They really look slick on the truck. I had the bubble in channel AVS on my 2015 they were alright, but I really dig the low profile look. Interesting, you said that the driver's window gave you problems. I installed a set of regular in channel AVS on my wife's highlander the driver's side gave me the same issues. In fact, it made the wife nervous when she was helping me and the window would not go all of the way up. I was pushing the window upwards while she held on to the button. It took 3 tries, but we got it to close. I called AVS and a representative said to leave it in the sun for a day and it will be okay. Sure enough, after a day in the sun, the window opened and closed without a hitch. Whew....I was thinking that I had to take them off for a minute.

Does it block any view out your window? They seemed to look blacked out? thanks.

 

Who made it. How much did it cost. Where do I buy it. (My new common response).

@RainMan_PNW is correct.

It's just a double sided tape cover for your existing gas cap.

 

Installed my DuroBumps tonight, install was super easy.

Before:



With DuroBumps:

 

Nice work! Let us know what you think of them after tomorrow!

 

The fuel vector D579 are pretty similar and come in 18. Just put them on my truck. I’m going to get ride of the chrome fuel sign.

 

Blacked out some more chrome today. I added the matte black 4x4 cover and Tundra inserts on the tailgate. Painted the platinum badge today in matte black and will do the mirror and handles in the gloss black shortly.

 

Tried to put LED interior bulbs in our 2021, despite reading all the threads we immediately broke one of the map light prongs. Took down the overhead console and sort of rigged the broken piece on with a wire and some steel wool. Working intermittently. Sent the entire LED bulb package back as a return. So frustrated to break something n a brand new truck. Son says he may be able to solder up something permanent, or just wait a couple of years for a console out of a wrecked one. Prior years match. cant get individual parts for it

 

I would reach out to @Roman and see what he can find out regarding part numbers for you

 

Surgery.

 

That looks awesome.

 

Hit the 5,000 mile mark

 

Super clean!!

Nice job!

 

Thanks! First time with a saw on body panels didn't turn out too bad.

 

Now pull those shackles off and paint them TRD red!

 

Haha I'm trying to decide if I want to replace them to get a little more height out of the bed or an AAL option (tow frequently and think I want to add a bed rack).

 

That's a bit of work to take them out just to paint them. However, I have not heard of anyone painting their shackles.

 

Most of the time, they are hidden, these are now pretty visible. Need to make them stand out!!

 

Yeah to the front bumper. I took off the inner front wheel liner and pushed the brackets that stood out the most upward by hand and hammer. I also used a heat gun to help mold the inside of the bumper and pressed it upward. Pretty much curling it upward and then placing the inner wheel well lining back and molding it away from the tires.

Also had the guy doing alignment change my castor to exactly 3.5 on the front to get away from the body mount. Regardless though, I'm a bit hellbound on getting 37s so I'm gonna get a really aggressive BMC and maybe a relocation plate/bracket on the BM to get 37s.

 

Just wait til you see these on 37s next time! Hahaha

 

Ah I wish took a better photo it doesn't describe exactly nice it is so far. Soon though I'll stop being a amateur photo taker hahahaha

 

it’s not retractable but I’ve been very happy with my gator hard fold cover. They usually have sales and it came in under $600. Serves my needs perfectly

 

Did the same thing in my truck and feel your frustration. Got mine rigged up too but it’s still working. Worst design I have ever seen for map lights in the overhead console. Finally forgot about it until I read your post. Gritted teeth again thinking about it ... if it’s working press on

 

So What have I done to my Tundra. 2021Limited Crewmax TRD Offroad. Set of RCI Skids including LCA. KB VOODOO 10" Max Modular bed rack with Rotopax mounts. Bakflip mx4 cover. Toyota bumper bed step. Tuffstuf Alpha II RTT on order. Now the fun stuff, Bilstein 6112 coil overs top setting 2.5, 5160 rear, Built Right UCA's. Will keep TRD Offroad wheels but will be going a little larger on tires, still deciding how much. I will also be add actual rock sliders.

 

Looks sweet, congrats! If you decide to go 295/70/18 hit me up via PM, I live about 90 mins from SD and have a brand new with stickers, never mounted set of 4 Nitto Ridge Grapplers available at a nice discount. I bought them for my LX470, but upgraded to a 21 Tundra before installing.
