What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

You'd have some more foot room with a Double Cab.

 

Hit a milestone this morning.You can just read it past the dust!

 

I bought the aux bracket from Overland Equipped (@Tundra234 bought one). Gonna mount it to that.

 

I don't mind the teaching. It's the "other duties as assigned" crap I don't care for lol

 

I meant the switch portion but that bracket is cool, so thanks

 

The mother of all catch-all phrases, especially in local govt/public safety!

 

I'm leaning to install it here

 

I made an incredibly crude sleeping platform since my test run went so well last weekend while camping. I was quite comfortable and wanted a dedicated sleeping platform versus shimming my other one with totes and medical books. It should do the trick and if not, I'm not out any money and will make a nicer one out of one solid piece of plywood.

 

I think it's gotten even more popular extending itself to anyone on salary

 

Same, I was thinking I would cut the opening a little smaller than the controller, heat gun to warm the plastic trim piece, then push the controller into the opening to give it a built in look.

And when that fails, a thin bead of black silicone should work

 

Nice! Is that an Evil Manufacturing unit? The antenna is for your cell range booster, yes? The threaded part ties into your cell how?

 

Good call! Do you know if the dimensions of the switch panel and that receptacle are close on all sides?

 

Yea it's the evil mfg unit. Antenna ties into my baofang not cell booster.

 

Ah ok. The antenna would be a standard CB style I take it

 

Yea nmo mount option on their site when ordering.

 

I’d worry about those supports ripping through the seat fabric/leather

 

Depends on what you define as close.

I had measured in the summer when I had hopes to install but don't remember exact numbers. I think it was 1/4" longer for height and 1/2" for width. But either way we have to trim and there is plenty of space to center the controller without it looking crammed.

 

I plan on putting a moving blanket over the seat first as well as little 6"x6" plates of plywood to spread the load.

 

I like your idea of getting it to fit just right to make it look OEM.

 

True - and a usable bed. But that crewmax for the kids and leg room is where it's at.

 

Never heard of this stuff. The "after" picture looks great. You just spray it everywhere? I mean you tape off important stuff, but you're basically just coating the frame/any exposed metal areas?

 

Yep some clean up and minor scuffing (which I didn't do here) but this product is big in the offroad/fabrication community. It lays better than anything I've used from rustoleum etc. It's anticorrosive and weldable.

Here's some pics of the rear fender area I did.

 

Finally got around to wiring the corner lights on my bumper.

 

This is why you don’t buy WRX’s!

Towed my buddy’s WRX… oh, the engine blew up.

 

The look of shame lol.

 

Drove it some more

 

LMAO - that look! Poor guy.

 

That doesn’t look like a very old WRX, lol.
