What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Looks great! We are starting a revolution! Though the ladies can keep their panties on when they see mine..... now guys on the other hand....

 

Man.. guys with panties?? Hey if that’s what your into

 

No no... boxers, boxer briefs, that kind of thing not panties!

 

Upgraded tint and removed a few stickers (before picture is the top one)

...technically it was done Friday... but my truck was street-dirty so I waited to take the photos until today after I washed it

 

Ohhhhh....

 

I manage a body shop now and was a painter for many years, I have some questions about the repair plain.
What are the going to do about the door, repair the damage area, replace the outer door skin, or replace the whole door shell? (I would want a new door shell)
You need to ask about the spray rock guard along the bottom of the doors, this is tricky to match and I have seen some bad end results.
I do not know the who the insurance company is but most likely they will not like the idea of blending the bedside, DEMAND IT!
Most of all do your research on the body shop you get to repair you brand new truck, remember a dealer ship body shop is not always best. I prefer an independent shop, a lot of big chain shops will not care if you become a return customer.
If you have any questions I would be more that happy to help any way I can.

 

Also did this on Saturday




And... found out my instruments are about 1% off (reset trip meter at mile marker, went 40 miles and trip meter read 39.6)

 

Tell us your secrets!

 

I color matched the cup holder chrome to the shifter, got my Bushwacker fender flares on.

 

The plan is to replace the door shell. The local shop I got an estimate from on Friday afternoon also noticed the gravel guard and wrote that into their estimate. They want to blend and paint a good portion of the truck so I really hope it will match nicely. I would like to go with them because they are local and have a good reputation. His insurance is Erie, I haven’t dealt with them before but at least it’s not some no name boutique insurance company.

I really appreciate the offer to answer questions. I might take you up on that tomorrow after I chat with him and his insurance agent.

 

You just drive it forward a bunch and eventually you reach 15k mi.

Oh... you mean the 16mpg? It’s really 15.5 or so when hand calculated. That 95% freeway driving on mostly flat land... maybe a bit of a tail wind lol

 

Erie is a good insurance company from my experience. Sounds like your off to a good start.

 

I was given a sway bar this weekend minus the hardware. I order the sway bar hardware kit but it doesn’t include the bolt and spacer for the upper frame end of the link as shown below. Can anyone measure that metal spacer and length of the bolt? Much appreciated in advance.

 

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

 

You need the led back lit TOYOTA letters from @Sting Ray then your complete

 

Thanks!!

Winjet smoke - I think they look awesome. Got spiders in the front (black smoke)... and I love that pro grille... chromes gotta go...

 

I'm new to the 5000 sticker thing and I'de like to see some panties dropped what stickers might we be talking about!

 

The YODAGAN man, the YODAGAN!!!

 

Where do you get them!

 

I still see chrome badges not done yet

 

Boxer or briefs? Asking for a friend

 

Whatever floats their boat I guess as long as it's not panties!

 

You know you like them whitey tightey's.

 

Tighty whities remind me of folding laundry as a kid and having to fold my father's underwear... That would be a hard pass! laundry as a kid and having to fold my father's underwear... That would be a hard pass!

 

Whitey's are for 4th grade and under.

 

ITZA VERY NICE

 

Shave, wax, or laser that body hair off

 

That might be what he wore while driving his Tundra today.
