What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

First post. Evolution so far:

How I picked it up:


King shocks with JBA UCAs:


17" Fuel Warps wrapped in 34" Trail Grapplers:


Topper off (moved to HI and made more sense), color matched flares on (decided to comply with HI recon regs):


Chrome delete and TRD pro grille:


Up next:
Exhaust front bumper, lights

 

Yeah, if I had known they had black I would have gotten a Diamondback instead of the ArmorFlex!

 

Thanks! Yea, the boxes needed the rear most lip trimmed and then a corner where the Leitner rack and upper bolt for the Rago brackets mount trimmed. You can kind of see it in the one photo.

 

Got the Victory 4x4 roof rack on. The build quality is really good, however the mounting system is absolute garbage. I will be replacing the rivnuts with actual nuts eventually, I need to take my headliner out anyway to sound deaden the roof. Also I am concerned about the coating, it appears to be a very soft powdercoat. Besides that, I love how it looks!

 

Added the Stars and Stripes tailgate inserts.

 

I recognize your pup from your drone video!

 

Pro grill and headlights waiting on the bumper caps.

 

Nice!!
Where did you get the Pro grille from?

 

Dealership

Finally got around to installing the AJT blackout kit that I picked up a few months ago.

 

Dang I’m jealous. I got mine in November and I’m at 8400

 

How teeth grinding was it when you were installing it? Drilling required I assume?

 

Got around to installing some door sill protection. 3M Anti-slip

 

First, where’s the link to the group buy thread? Second, do you have a cordless Dyson in your truck??

 

Same here. Love the 20’s!,

 

Not as nerve wracking as when I drilled the hole for the snorkel, but it was one of the more infuriating mods I've done. The drill bit they included was only good for two holes, not the 8 required. If I had to do it again, I'd invest in a good carbide drill bit.

 

for reference- before during after.

 

I hope you took precautions to protect your airbags. I know Victory got into some hot water on that point.

 

I installed the stillen intake I got the other day on my 2018. Other than that, I've convinced a buddy he needs a 2016 limited after a ride in my new truck. No pics of the intake because I suck. I can add if anyone's interested

 

Did the first couple of "mods" to my new 2021 over the weekend. Added N-fab steps, PRO center caps, and blackout emblem overlays. Pretty happy with how everything turned out.

 

That looks really good. I know for sure I'm going to do my bumper ends now. How many cans would you suggest to do both the front and rear bumper ends? Did you just tape off to do the bumpers? Did you have to remove anything? Very nice work, thanks for the pics.

 

Here’s the link though it ended in February: https://www.tundras.com/threads/gro...ters-current-discount-ends-feb-28-2021.77424/

Yes to your second question. The WeBoost and inverter are behind the passenger seat. The vacuum is behind the driver’s seat. I use it all the time for dog hair and dirt though I sometimes feel it’s a losing battle.

 

Threw these things on over the last couple days just been to lazy to post. Also removed the big chrome running boards.

 

Thanks. 1-2 cans would be plenty. 3-5 coats 5-10 mins between each coat. Remove the tape less than 10 mins after your last coat so it doesn’t stick and peel around your corners. Stay close, within about 8” to whatever area you are spraying to avoid clumping. No need to remove anything. Any overspray can be easily wiped off which is the great thing about dip! Good luck

 

TucsonTundra1794 - Where did you find a 3 USB plug for the rear center console outlet? I am looking to add 3 USB ports for my kids devices.

 

If you have a cigarette lighter there already. You can use something like this:

Pretty sure this one is it.

 

Yes it's this one. The barrel is slightly larger then the stock one so you'll have to remove a small amount of plastic to fit the new one.

 

How do you like the color matching with existing bumper?
