What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Did you end up using the MC Auto sensor cover or the other one you bought? Any issues? I’m on the fence with the MC Auto grill. The adaptive cruise is my favorite feature, so I don’t want to go with their grill and sensor cover if it’s gonna cause issues.

 

Honestly I’m not sure. They looked exactly the same and I had put them in the same box before install. No issues thus far though.

 

No issues with mine. Over 5000 miles in rain, snow, local and highway miles.

 

Haha, right on. I think not being able to tell them apart is probably a good thing.

 

Awesome! That’s what I want to hear. The sensor is just a piece of glass or something right?

 

If you meant the cover that goes on the grille that is in front of the sensor it is plastic.

 

Yeah never been a fan myself of the heavy tint.

 

To me it says "It's my fault if I get rear-ended because I did something pointless".

 

Ah, got it. I thought I read that it was glass somewhere. The fact that Toyota charges $300 for that plastic piece is insane.

 

It is.

 

Thanks Jake.

 

Just ordered.

 

Me too, lol

 

Looked it up on you tube. Guy was using a 2016 but pretty much the same. Fairly easy. U just let the trim dry solid for 2 days before reassembly.

 

Tundra got a softopper and some sill protectors

Washed, clay barred and ceramic waxed her. Some nice added protection Just in time for the 106-110* days coming up. The front windows and rear windshield will be getting tinted Thursday to match the rear windows.

 

Thanks, that's the same color combo I ordered this morning. Should arrive tomorrow.

 

Awesome! I realize after posting that I was late to the party.

 

Also if you're mounting this to an older trd pro grille you might wanna check out my post about halfway down this page...

Good call on painting the bracket. Not sure how much of the metal was visible prior to paint, but I think I'll do the same.

 

I made the backing plate at work out of 6061 aluminum so that it'd work with the trd pro grille.
The little black plactic dogbone looking piece was flimsy and wouldn't work with this particular grille.

 

Got it realigned after the Westcott lift installed. Now my steering wheel is straight again (it was ever so slightly rotated to the right).

 

ok, good to know. I assumed it just bolted right in w/o any issues. I may have to look into another mounting method as well if it's flimsy. I didn't know it was plastic.

 

Got it aligned after leveling it out yesterday, and did a partial debadging.

 

Looks good! Love the taillights!

 

Dumb question but can you reassemble it after putting the steering wheel back on or do you need to stop driving for two days then reassemble?

 

Crossed 15K mile mark during a 2K+ mile journey from Ohio to Oklahoma and back.

I did the thing with the headlights, my wife hates me.

 

Thank you sir!
