What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Installed some TRD Pro LED Headlights with an @iHacker harness. The headlights look great, harness was simple to use. Hardest part was making sure I didn't break the grill tabs when removing it.

Thanks. Will update and give a progress report on how many rolls I actually use and what I cover.

 

Looks good. How are they in person?

 

i think they even better in person. cant even tell they are vinyl.

 

Luv turning 'the shining' down a notch

 

Awesome, how is the difference in lighting ? ...looks 100% better, need to do this.

 

Morimoto: LED & HID Headlights, Projectors, Ballasts, and Bulbs (morimotohid.com)

Yes!! Just notified my backorder will now be shipped, as their puddle lights are finally back in stock

 

Hit a milestone kinda... and had this happen at 5pm on a Sunday. Luckily it didn't puncture.

 

Thanks to fine folks on here I learned this was possible after 7 yrs of ownership Took longer to find a USB stick than to do it haha. I thought about making some random phrase in black block letters on a white background like ; ATTENTION: THE DRIVER IS A CYBORG, GET OUT NOW!!! Still might if I hear about the right passenger coming for a ride.

 

Post them up in the marketplace.

 

I did last week with one bite but then all the sudden stopped messaging when it came time to link up. Thought i would throw it on here also.

 

yea...but prob better to keep it to the marketplace thread to keep from turning this one into a sale thread. you can bump it within the rules too.

 

I ordered my Mountain Hatch from the outlet, same orange one as yours, so I'm glad to see it's just minor discoloration. I'm a little surprised at the shipping lead time - ordered March 15th and it will ship out March 27th.

 

Installed Baja Designs Squadron SAEs. Goes great with the TRD Pro LEDs w/iHacker custom harness I did a few weeks back.

Is there a thread on here about how to take decent pics of your truck?

 

Ready to click on the order button.

 

What brand and color name did you go with? What prep work did you need to do before painting?

 

Looks good. Can you split screen with any of the programs and do your steering wheel controls still work with the unit?

 

I'll let him answer the color but many of us have done this. I just did a light scuff and degrease and then used some primer right over the black. Depending what shape yours are in you might just need to clean. I have yet to attach anything to mine so I did put some clear coat over my paint to help protect it but I know the clear is not strong enough if I actually use as an attach point. Be sure to check your frame at the attach point too. I had minor surface rust that I took care of before re-attaching tow hooks.

 

Damn i wish they never got rid of the ability to set different seat settings. Really would come in handy when the wife borrows the truck to run errands.

 

Thank you Sir! Appreciate the respone, what did you do to take care of the minor surface rust? I do have rust in a few spots on rear that I want to fix.

 

After 1,100 miles of North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee bugs hitting the front of my truck on our road trip I finally had time to wash them off.

 

Pretty standard Apple CarPlay split screen between music map and call status. Kept the steering wheel controls for up down track selection and volume up down. Had to use an adapter but the adapter came with a full wiring harness so I actually saved some money.

 

I just had minor rust where the hooks attached. I bought a wire wheel drill attachment and used that. Worked like a charm. I then painted the frame and put some clear on it to try and help. I used the Rustoelum 2X for the paint and the clear. Its not automotive clear but it should help in this area.

 

Seems like today's going to be a great day after all. Found a local vendor. Another 4 rolls. Will update with the final count and areas covered. Happy Monday all

 

His looks similar to my color, but Rust-Oleum gloss cherry red is what I used and it matches my TRD sway bars pretty well. For prep, I cleaned with a degreaser, then scuffed with sandpaper, cleaned with paint thinner, then sprayed 4-5 coats

 

Wipe down with acetone and spray. I did multiple light coats. Let it dry in the hot sun to kind of bake the paint on. 24 hours
later installed.
