What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Looking awesome!
Are those holes in the bumpers for your park sensors?

 

Thank you!

Thanks Tundrgo; yes, they are and the blindside monitors are behind the side panels in the rear bumper too.

 

One Bad Ass MF'r....

 

The Banks exhaust went on pretty simple. Here are a few pics of the finished product. The sound is great or bad a$$ as my son described it. There is none of that annoying droning when I travel down the interstate. I took of the stock breather and it sounded even better. I suppose a upgrade to that is next.

 

Dawg, very nice truck, well done, what's your winch & mount arrangement?

 

Love the topper. I've been looking at the exact one.

 

Thanks! It does quite well off-road too!

Thanks pamtnman; I am running a Smittybilt Gen 2 X20 Wireless 12K Comp Series Waterproof Winch with cab remote and synthetic line with a Factor 55 Blue Prolink shackle mount and Superwinch hawse fairlead. The winch bumper is the ICI Magnum RT Series with sensors that I had painted to match.

Thanks; I was running the Snugtop XTR models on my last three truck builds and had the ARE Z-Series and Leer QX100 models on previous builds too. But I went back to the ARE Z-Series this time as I thought it looked the best with the Tundra lines as the topper sits just a tad higher along the bed sides than the Snugtop. The paint to match shell was done quite well and quality looks to be top notch like the Snugtop. I also like the palm twist hatch handle and screened side vent windows. I opted for the fold down front picture window that matches nicely with the Tundra's large rear window to create a very large pass-through between the cab and topper.

I hope to have a decision on the roof rack soon to take advantage of the built-in Yakima rails that I also had included.

 

Dawg, this is useful information, thanks. What winch mount are you using under the bumper, or is that whole mount and bumper the ICI Magnum? Did you consider the SDHQ mount?

 

Put black inserts on the stamped letters on tailgate last night. Should have taken a pic

 

I got the Dee Zee crossover box and the access tonneau on. I got the Cal Trend seat covers today, only had time to do the drivers seat

 

Good looking truck Paul ! I would send some pics to A.R.E. and have them use your truck as an advertisement piece. Nice work........

 

Before and after spidertraxx 1.25" spacers with BFG ko2's 285/65/18 not a drastic kick out by any means but I'm happy

 

Sorry for not figuring out what you were asking...lol. The ICI Magnum RT can be ordered winch ready up to 16,500 lbs. so I went with theirs (I specifically asked about accepting the Smittybilt model I wanted and was good to go)!

Thanks Lenny! That would be cool; some of my past builds are still being used on various vendor sites like N-Fab, Snugtop, Nitto, and Gobi among some others. I even received some cool gear, gift cards, and product discounts too. Now only if ARE wanted to send me something...lol.

OMG, I just showed my wife that and we both cracked up. Thanks for compliment and the laugh!

 

I loaded an entune update and played around with some new startup screen images. Not sure what the entune update did but maybe it will help with the sporadic Bluetooth connection issues I've had.

 

Just a small thing for now...

 

Real close to pulling the trigger on one of these as well. Got any pics of the inside?

 

Got the TRD Sway bar installed this afternoon. What a great mod! Truck really does handle much better/flatter in the turns. Plus it sure looks cool under there ha. Easy install as well.

 

I will take some this weekend and post up!

 

Tinted front windows. Got a local guy who charges $75. Much better than dealer price. 6112s go on tomorrow. Pro grill has shipped. I was going to do light bar tomorrow too but will now wait for grill to get here. Install Clazzios on back seats and some back up lights and done for now.

 

How about re gear with ARB locker and onboard air.

 

link me the footwell lighting!

 

Switched out my stainless shift knob, for a 2016+ Tacoma TRD PRO shift knob.


Stainless exhaust tip.


Stainless hitch insert.

 

Tint is back on. Eat one, NYS.

 

Got my 50 cal short antenna in today. The first of a long list of things that I want to do.

 

Where did you get these?

 

Here

 

Thanks! I'm checking them out now.

 

Howdy y'all. I have been home for about two weeks now and the money is being spent. The HH6 blessed off on a Snug Top XTR 1st gen topper today (ordered today, so in two weeks it will be on) TRD sway bar is on. Exhaust well, it's in-progress. I should know something by mid week.
