What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Not necessarily today, but over the last couple of weeks since acquiring her.

All weather mats
Window tint
Debaged
Raised tail gate lettering inserts
Wireless charging
AJT interior pieces
Tufskinz Console badge
Remote start
LED bulbs swap

 

Installed Ironman Foamcell Coilovers set at 2” and 3/4” shackle in the rear.

 

Washed it, bought a 2way radio power cable and magnet mount antenna, ordered a smittybilt gen2 xl rtt, ordered total chaos box stiffeners, and ordered a twin peaks bed rack rail system. No the wait game.

 

A great start! Welcome to the site!

 

My undercover flex tonneau was faded like crazy. Looked awful. Tried cerakote - still looked awful. Used acetone to clean it and sprayed with a glossy black high temp spray paint. It looks great now. Very happy with the results

 

iHacker harness for me too. Someone posted a pic of a newer plug and play option he's doing. Amber drls on all the time, LED drls come on about 50% and ambers dim w/ parking lights or headlights on. I liked the functionality and look so shot him a dm. Super good to work with. Had the harness in 3-4 days

 

How did it turn out? Trying to decide if I do something similar or do bumpershellz

 

Added the paint matched mirror caps and got rid of the ugly ass chrome caps. Next will be window tint and swapping the handles out for paint matched as well.

 

Take a gander in the LT section of the site, guard yer wallet...

Remember watching this a few years back and wanting it. Not practical for me, but might get you started looking in the right area of youtube.

Going from stock sucks, to adding a little ride height, to long travel, is a huge leap.

Start with $5-8k and look here... https://www.tundras.com/threads/long-travel-kits-list.22281/

 

Well that escalated quickly.


Buy a sand rail and use your Tundra to tow it.

 

Bought ss3 dd sae yellow fog lights. Installed by going thru fender then found out no blue clips(2020tundra with oem ledfogs) holding the bezel to bumper caps. Later aligned the foglights by removing the bezel on the front without messing with the fender (much easier/quicker).

 

A few questions…..is there a video/write up that you followed to remove the front bezels? What version of SS3 did you get? I have the Pros on my 4Runner, but also have restrofit HIDs. I felt like Pros on the Tundra would wash out the headlights. Lastly, did you use zip ties like most others to secure the new fogs? Thanks

 

Any chance you have a picture of where you mounted the module?

 

Well, I have not put it back on the truck, yet. But, I have to say it looks great. Only time will tell if it Will last, though.
I prepped by making sure it was clean and did a final scrub with isopropyl acholhol before spraying the rubber coating. Again, it looks great. I "think" it will last due to the thickness and rubber which should prove resistant to bug and small rock strikes.
For $10.00 a can I really could not go wrong.

 

I followed this thread "Diode Dynamics SS3 SAE Pro fog lights installed. Update 4/17/21. Now with SS3 Max" I used a pry bar (used in taking interior trim pieces) to slowly loosen the tabs on the top and bottom of the bezel unless you are sure you don't have that blue clip that secures the bezel to the fogs on the inside.
In addition watched Toyota Tundra 2014-2018 LED OEM Fog Light Install by Headlight Revolution on YouTube

-i got the sport version, it compliments my oem led lights. To me the sport intensity matched the oem headlights

-i used zip ties to secure just to be sure, there was slight movement before zipties

 

I’d like to know how well it does with bug and stone hits. Keep us posted. Maybe ok for city driving but I wonder about rural life.

 

I can actually answer that right now...

Bugs are good so far. We had a thunderstorm with 2" of rain over half an hour; beads were forming on the plasti-dip. Can't speak for pebbles and what not on the interstate just yet. But with the 4-5 coats I have on, it's been good so far.

I'm sure if it really bothered me and I had some cash and time to burn, I'd re-coat every 2-3 months since you can just peel it all off and re-do it.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

 

Which do you spent more time in?

 

So that's what a Tundra looks like when it takes a whizz. I guess mine's too embarrassed to let it go in public.

 

Doesn’t everyone parallel park?

 

Just marking its territory...

 

Last of my Toyotacare services (25K miles) was done today. Basically a tire rotation and fluid check, but I'll have to schedule the fuel pump recall for another day. Didn't feel like sitting there for 5 hours today.

While I was there I browsed the lot.... They had an SR5 TRD Off Road that was used (couldn't find the mileage anywhere) and it was listed for $52,000. That's 5k more than the MSRP on my truck when it was new!

 

Ceramic coat done.

 

i'm hoping to get my done this weekend. diy or paid someone? what was used/done?

 

Ready to black out these rear chrome bumpers!
