What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Yeah but parking was a nightmare in some spots in my old Sentra the last time I was there and I didn’t feel like paying on a vehicle that was mainly going to sit for three years.

 

Oh yeah it looks great! How are yours holding up? Did you completely disassemble the dash to get to those silver trim pieces?

 

Broke the range apparently.

 

That must be the new 47.177 gal. tank you have ! ...

 

Its holding up well. I had the dash apart as I was doing an audio upgrade at the same time.

 

Finally finished my FRAC install that I bought from @Angry Gunny Not loving the camera position, but it will serve it's purpose on my SR5 grill. The HU pic is flushed due to the wonderful sunshine we had today. For $13, it's not a bad cam. Not great, but not bad.

 

Haha. That's right, he said parking was terrible. The beamer got driven mostly in town, but drove his truck to and from work and that was about it

 

What OME coil did you go with up front? 612?

 

Picked it up at the dealer, left them a taco...

 

Welcome Jeff!

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

Oh nice 2 birds 1 stone. I just don't like the silver so I want to take it apart just to paint lol. Pain in the butt but will be worth it to me.

 

About a year ago I saw a member post brackets from Compact Camping Concepts. Might be another option. Pic from their website. Says will fit Tundras.

 

I like the Voodoo Max and the RCI aluminum racks, but not a fan of the adapters for the tonneau covers.
Seems like an afterthought and not very well designed.
CBI's rack works with tonneau covers without needing an adapter, but only come in steel.

Maybe Voodoo or RCI will redesign their footings to work without an adapter. It wouldn't take much, just offset the uprights about 1/2" outboard and it would be perfect.

 

frankenTundra - 2015 blue ribbon metallic with 2016 Pro headlights and a 2019 SR5 grill. now I have to figure out how to color match all that chrome, if possible. has anyone done it? ordering parts to Hawaiʻi is stupidly expensive.

 

Lot's of folks have colormatched the chrome pieces. You can order the entire surround and hood bulge from Toyota, and get either painted or black bumper covers from bumpershellz. You're right on the shipping though, may make it not worth it. Not sure if there's a Toyota dealership on the island, but if so getting the Toyota parts may not be as bad as ordering them from the mainland.
I think your color blue would look good with the chrome parts blacked out instead of color match. You could try plastidip or line-x to black them out.

 

I changed the lenses in the S2s to amber, color matched the letters in the grill and plastidiped the bumper caps. Here are the before and after pictures.

 

Looks so clean...where did this housing come from? I need it!!

 

I bought a RAV4 as a daily driver the day I bought my wife a 4Runner. I made it halfway home, turned around and returned it to buy myself a 4Runner. That car IS a clowncar

 

How did you get all the buttons in Black/Red?

 

The switch housing I 3D printed myself. Check out my build thread in my signature.
There is a member on here @Rocfrog (Nick) that makes and sells one that is very similar.

 

What lights are you running in your hood bulge? Clean looking truck!

 

Took the cheesy ass J hooks off my Craftsman toolbox and replaced them with

$19 DEWHEL Tool Box Tie Downs Aluminum J Hook Crossover Toolbox Pickup Pair (4 PCS, Black)

Dewhel toolbox tiedowns; I wasn't real sure those J hooks were keeping the toolbox secure.




Not many tools needed - needed the deep socket to get the J Hooks off because the threaded portion stuck up so far.



And finally, put my emblems on the liftgate. Franklin Lodge, Grafton MA, Libanus Lodge #47, Bristol VT and Widows Sons #113, Barre VT under dispensation, and Mount Sinai #3 Shrine, Montpelier, VT.

 

Bumped over 3000 miles today in just over 71 days of ownership. Loving everything about this truck.



Have some upgrades on the way, that I should be able to get done this weekend. Just cosmetic stuff, but fun none the less.

 

I bought my truck last June with 25000 miles and right now it has 29125 you sir are driving a lot lol.

 

This is me trying not to drive it a lot. I have an '86 CJ7 that has the least mileage of my four other cars, but it's at 106k.

2012 Durango with 126k, 2011 Sonata with 115k, and an 08 Ram 2500 with 110k.

 

howd you paint the infotainment frame?

 

Do you have a link for those?

 

Following... Love to know how the lighted letters on the radio got red too.

 

well....I've always had high mileage on my vehicles....I thought that's what they're made for???? I purchase my vehicles to drive, not to sit in the drive-way all year.
I traded my 2014 Tacoma @ 114k miles in November for my 2021 Tundra and still received a very good trade-in value for it....right now my Tundra is sitting at 2,800 miles but that's only because I'm working from home
