What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thanks! This looks great!

 

Finished blacking out the console trim, thanks for all the inspiration!

 

What did you use to paint them and how are you attaching them?...I did the same to mine and used plast-i-dip and jb weld to reinstall, I was in a rush and probably missed a few places on the reattaching.

 

Ended up using contact cement. These are the daughter and she picked the paint which is that fluorescent stuff that has little pigment in there!! (It is not like regular paint)!. I cleaned them and used an off white primer, then proceeded to add lite coats of this stuff. After all done she went to go get another can and they do not make this fluorescent orange anymore and could not find any anywhere on the innerweb. I am about doing things as best I could and I wanted to touch one spot up but it is there for good now!!


Used contact cement on my first. It was a chore to get anything to stick to those strips. In fact I bet I could pull them off and the cement could be rubbed off too?? Those silver strips are very a strange type of coating/plastic!!

 

Rad! I like the Akra tip.

 

Swapped grille surrounds and bulge. Eventually the bumper ends will be done but for now they help bring the insert, badges and door handles together.

 

What did you use? Looks great!

 

am i right that this doesnt work for 1794 w/ the memory seats?

 

Gave it good wash, no wax this time, too much direct sunlight for all that. I also let my hose spray the tonneau for about 10 mins (simulated rain) and it was dry as a bone under that bad boy.

 

You should of cashed them in for a proper engine detail.

Although with the amount of dust you seem to suck up, maybe a snorkel would of been better.

 

Better man than me. I'm nervous when it comes to cleaning the engine bay. When I need it done I'll probably take it to a fancy detail shop and have it done.

Had a ceramic coat done and I detail it regularly (correctly), but the engine is intimidating.

 

Well I started the process of chrome delete. First I was planning to have all the chrome wrapped at a local shop but the quote was 1200 and 2 days work. So I decided it is going to be PlastiDip. Yesterday the emblems were done and today the rear bumper. I think I'm happy with the results. The front will be posted once I get to it. Here are some pics I thought I'd share.







Later I put on this US Air Force decal











So I'm having fun with this and the next step is to tackle this:

 

SEM black trim spray paint. Lightly scuffed first.

 

Im a bit confused on this one. Its masked but there is alot of paint still showing. Howd you get such awesome results?

 

you just peel the plasti-dip off of the painted part. It naturally “cuts” or separates at the emblem for a clean line.

 

How do you go about putting those pictures in there?

 

Plasti Dip is basically a rattle can spray paint that once dries (7 coats) will for like a skin. As you see I taped about an inch away from the emblems so it gives something to peel off. The inside pieces are carefully peeled using a toothpick. I was hesitant to do this thinking it was going to be harder than the videos show but it was very simple. The best advice I can give is make sure you have 7+ coats or it is a pain to peel.

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TANmaYUvdW0&t=302s

 

Well that is just the shits and the berries too. Ima hafta man up, throw on my big boy cojones and get to it.

 

We want to see pics when you do it!

 

You would need to essentially put a relay inside each door and wire it up with a battery feed and passing the fold signal from the mirror ecu in each door to the mirror in that door (the switch you have is sending signals to an ecu in each door, not direct power to the mirror)

 

I dont think ima go black. I like radiant red and impulse red. I like the idea of "stealth" badges. Theyll be just a lil different tone than the barcelona red truck.

 

Playing with side mirrors switch. Made holes to each button, added glue and paint. Then placed some LEDs below each button. Work in progress. Let's see.

 

Following this one for sure.

 

Vinyl decals are the way to go.
