What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nice Craigslist find...got a BakBox for $75.


Then installed some VLAND Headlights that I picked up on eBay. My OEM 15 headlights were long past due.

 

Removed the I-force badges from the doors. Left it sit in the 90 degree heat for a few hours and then used 30 lb mono to saw through the glue. It went a little slow at first, but kept sawing and it started cutting like a hot knife through butter. It left about an 1/8 inch thick slab of adhesive that peeled up with moderate difficulty using my finger. I used goo gone to clean up a little residue. Looks great. It’s a 2020, so the glue was new and soft.

 

Good find there! I’m debating getting one. I’d like something that locks though. Not sure if that will be possible with the tonneau.

 

I added the locking tailgate, but if someone wants in... they’re gonna get in.

 

I want in, but just to see whatcha got.

 

I would love to de-badge my new Truck (the IForce, Tundra and TRD Decal), but am just to paranoid I will damage the paint...that is just what a I do.

 

I finished putting all the decals on my truck today. Spacing on the right side could have been better, but did not want to give the appearance I was trying to be symmetrical.

Texas Flag - Comes with the truck.
UM Gopher - Where I went to engineering school
UT and A&M - Where my sons went to engineering school
Titleist - Probably the most iconic golf logo ever
St Croix Rods - My favorite fishing rods
Led Zeppelin IV Side I record label - yeah I like classic rock!
Grand Cayman 7 Mile Beach - My favorite place in the world.
DOD - Where i worked my entire career
PXG Golf - Recently bought some of their irons...had to have it

Up to this point in my life, I would never consider putting a decal on any vehicle, but here I am putting multiple decals on the most expensive vehicle by far that I have ever owned...go figure.

 

Thanks man! I do too and I haven't even driven at night with them yet!

 

Go Gophers!

 

Busy day finished the install, I normally don't post about customer service, but Ryan at Harrop was awesome super fast response. Can't wait to get into the throttle, still have 700 miles togo before the new gears are broken in. Now just waiting on the wheels to come in and the build should be done.

 

You win today sir.

 

Yea good point.

 

Tractor supply store, new Holland red. Not my post but it’s damn near spot on for TRD red.

 

I used to be like that. As I’ve gotten older I’ve become more comfortable doing that kind of stuff, and more importantly, I care less about keeping everything in perfect condition. I’ve read a lot about here about it figured if all these other people did it, I can do it too. Plus I just found out that the Super White Tundras don’t have a clear coat, so one less thing to f#ck up.

 

Let the badges sit in the sun for a while on a warm day and they’ll come off like butter with some floss or fishing line. The newer the truck the easier it should be.

 

I did damage my paint doing this last Friday. Two spots the size of my pinky nail, took the paint off all the way down to the metal. The good of this is the IForce badge was trapping water behind it so that's been fixed. I plan to ceramic coat it at a shop and will have them do the repair. I am assuming it's an easy fix. Right now I have painters tape over the spots with the hope that it prevents oxidation and rust.

Upset it happened, happy the trapped water is gone and I'm badge free.

 

Installed my diode dynamics SS3 max fogs... no idea how I’m supposed to adjust the level once installed, currently aimed way to high

 

Chrome delete: next are the climate controls

 

Do they do perforated so the heated/cooled seats still work?

 

After some great advice by @AzureNightmare I looked at the Desert Does It bracket, and then my "frugality" came out of me. Decided to run to Lowe's and get a piece of flat bar, some bolts, washers, and nuts, and a can of Rustoleum black, and made my own bracket. $17 all-in. Definitely secure now...

 

Nothing wrong with saving money if it gets the job done!

 

Looks Great! Nice job

 

You can get a heat gun for $18 at Harbor Freight and use it on low to loosen the badges or stickers. This can leave a little more adhesive to clean up with Goo Gone but it definitely helps the process.

 

This is my technique as well! Fab out to save $$$$$. Prices in some of this stuff is stupid.

 

I found you can get your hand back there with a small (3"?) Screwdriver and loosen the screws to adjust.

 

Would the heat from the cats cook it, melt it, or start it on fire?

 

No freakin way, the pro grille looks great!

 

Not trying to be the buzz kill, but i'm sure the sound of a metal saw sawing off your cats makes about the same amount of sound as this alarm, if not more.

 

Doh! Meant to post this in the Valhalla thread. Deleted and reposted there.

 

I think you're referring to the memory system that adjusts seat, mirrors, and steering wheel. The memory option is included in the Platinum and 1794 trim.
