Powdercoated bumper caps done today

 

Damnnn….. cement can look that THAT in certain light?? So sharp. Looks like lunar rock with blue tint rather than green. I love it

 

If I couldn't see the bed sticker and stuff to know it's not a Pro, I would have bet money that was a Lunar Rock.

 

Installed automatic tailgate lock on 2018 TRD Sport.

 

Another off roading night out with the tank and my boy.

 

I did it last year. Very easy, hardest part is routing the wiring under the truck with zip ties. Comes with an adapter to splice wiring in front passenger kick panel.

 

Installed the ole Firestone airbags
And changed this gasket from what I read it’s suppose to rid of a whistle noise

 

Tinted windows and smoked headlights & tail lights today…

Ceramic Tint
Front Windows - 25%
Back Windows - Clear Ceramic (makes it a little darker than stock to naked eye)
Windshield - 50%

Headlights & Tail Lights - Light Smoke

Can anyone tell me if this is “Platinum” trim style sub assembly? There are various part numbers that correspond to black/gray/sand leather, but this one is “fabric”

 

It’s a harder sell compared to the OEM 38 gallon tank. Personally I would still opt for the TransferFlow with the aluminized steel construction and 8 extra gallons. At the time there was an option to have it sprayed with bed liner (I opted for this especially with all the road salt in winters where I’m at) but it doesn’t seem to be an option any longer from TransferFlow - at least on their web site.

 

Where did you get the TRD logo on the grill? Looks great!

 

I really like them so far. Quality made, compact, super bright. I purchased the combo pattern for this application and it puts out light exactly as I expected. I also like that everything on the light and mount are powder coated black (except for the SS bolts and nuts) and it makes it less shiny and obtrusive.

 

looking good my man! Are you going to chrome delete the bumper and handles?

 

yes eventually, haven’t found a decent deal on them yet. Any suggestions?

 

I purchased it from this website.

Really adds a huge difference to the front end with it just being a small modification

 

Coach J… Did you see a difference in the brightness of your headlights at night after tinting?

 

I had the cup holder plastic dipped but decided to just do everything Matte black so took off the plastidip and painted all of them.

 

Bath day and new wiper blades.

 

Those are sharp ! Did you have any thought of going back to OEM after the spyder experience ? ... curious because really thinking of going Hirev. Let us know your opinion of fit and finish compared to spy and oem

 

Thanks ! Did you install yourself and if so what is the difficultly level ? .. also any negatives like hanging too low or certain part an eyesore ect .?

 

Got the ole Tundie and WRX professionally detailed. First time that I have ever used a detailing service, needed to use it because I have been too busy lately.

 

I probably would have thrown the OEM ones back in, but I bought the truck with the Spyder's already installed, so I didn't have the OEM lights on hand.

The Spyder's also had some cheap LEDs with those separate heat sinks that get crazy hot, so I was glad to get rid of them.

The Hirev certainly are sharp. I like the amber turn signal as well. There is a short YouTube video showing their full animations which is nice. Those options can be turned off I believe if you request it, like the start up animation and the sequential turn signal. They do seem to be built pretty well, considering they are still coming from China. They are just under $400 after shipping, so not as cheap as the Spyder or Winjet, so I'm hoping better quality lol. Time will tell though.

 

Did it work

 

Installed TRD sway bar

 

There is going to be a difference.

 

I had smoked headlights not on my truck but not tinted and immediately returned them for the clear kind. I have my windshield legally tinted and it was too dim for me.

 

Last bit of chrome is gone...






Threw in some Diode Dynamics pros in the bumper for extra reverse lights.

Just picked her up from having some new jewelry installed.

5.29s , Cryo-REM with Powertrax

 

I did not install this myself. I was familiar with it and wanted this tank. Ironically during a routine maintenance at the dealer we ended up coordinating this with a warranty/recall of the fuel pump. The accessories gentleman was very curious about this tank as well and wanted to see one for future sales.

No real negatives here. It’s solid build quality, maximizes every inch of available space and provides tremendous peace of mind with capacity and puncture resistance. The bed liner coating is icing on the cake in terms of long term investment. I tend to drive my vehicles until the wheels fall off. Part of the appeal of the tundra

I’ve attached a few photos. The photo with the frame rail is a bit deceiving. The tank hangs less than an inch below the frame. It’s long, over six feet. And heavy. TransferFlow lists the dry weight at 187 pounds. It’s really tucked up in there very cleanly. It’s most visible from the driver side rear wheel well. I imagine use of a lift and a transmission jack would be super helpful on this install.
