What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Just bought mine...

 

Great choices. When doing the vent rings take your time when putting pressure to get them in place and slowly keep going around and around. You can see the little wrinkle on the vent by the drivers door in my picture from going a little too quick. But they give you 6 in case you mess one up, I'm just holding on to those for the future if that wrinkle ever bugs me too much.

 

Wow, Nice look CanadianGuy! Speaking of Canada, making our annual trip to Red Lake, Ontario in a couple weeks for some serious Walleye fishing.

 

Finally added...

 

I ordered it from https://www.tonneaufactoryoutlet.com/. Sent them an e-mail to them yesterday asking but didn't get a response. If I don't hear anything by Thursday I'm calling for sure. Just doing a quick search for reviews of them there's quite a few people who complain about how long it takes to get their cover...

I think you're right about the bumper. I want the chrome gone and the bed spray will take more abuse than powder coat. Contemplating having them do everything or if I want to remove the ends myself. Reading a few posts it kind of sounds like a pain getting the black plastic top portion off. They said they have to prime them beforehand though, hope those could be finished in 1 day like the bed.

 

Well I popped her cherry hauling a load of gear back from an event this weekend. And finally got the correct tires put on from the dealer.

And found out my windshield wipers don’t work.

 

Got the bull bars put on finally, they were a pita.

 

Just one step closer to getting my legs .

 

Nice choice!! Going to look sexy AF!!!

 

Thanks so much brother! Something about bronze Methods that when i first saw them, I knew they would standout. Got a great deal on them too so no complaints here!

 

The bronze will be what I get when I can justify some new shoes. Post up them pics once they get on

 

Hmm

 

I’ve played that game!!



I lost

 

GTR Lighting upgrades...

 

What happened

 

Installed the iBoard 4" steps. My feelings about them are 7/10. They're solid, but I'm going to wait until I level it an put on wheels to decide whether or not I'm going to ditch them. Also installed the grab handle

 

After driving with the newly redesigned S&B air intake I’m happy to say increased my mpg +2.6 from 13.5 up to 16.1 driving like a “normal” person....haha. Driving like I want to ....for sure less than 13.5mpg

 

Plasti-dipping grille: it just didn’t turn out right. Maybe I let it dry too much between coats, or was going too thin... but it looked like crap.. so I peeled it off.

 

Holy crap, that thing's going to pay for itself soon. I was going to wait and do a TRD CAI when I did the TRD dual exhaust, but I may do this early if the performance is that good.

 

I've had inconsistencies with PlastiDip as well on large, complex pieces. I've had great success on small things like emblems and badges, but not so great on things like wheels, grilles and body panels. The texture always came out inconsistent even though I was careful to keep spraying it at the same distance all over and in several, thin layers. It always looked good from a distance, but up close it bugged the crap out of me.

 

yeah, i tinted my third break light with plasti dip. came out good - albeit a little darker than I was thinking (but nothing super bright LEDs cant fix LOL) The finished product turned out good though. I didnt think it was a size issue, but now that you mention it it makes sense. I guess I just prefer working on smaller "pieces"

 

I have a TRD dual exhaust system and got one of the 1st redesigned S&B cold air intakes. This thing sounds great and even looks like a beast under the hood, left my side cover off to breath more. Very happy with set up......Do it your Tundra will LOVE you

 

Me too though paint and not Plasti dip

 

Installed trd rear sway bar. Took about a half hour. Not too bad. An extra set of hands for about 30 seconds will save you some frustration. Can't wait to drive it now

 

Thanks Ron. I'm taking Madelyn to the beach tomorrow through Sunday. I figure I'll retorque when I get back which will be about 200 miles of driving. then again whenever I do my oil changes

 

Id love to know your opinion on the drive difference and over all feedback on this install. I was thinking about getting this but read so much information that it became so diluted that i dont even know if its worth the price and the difference in the drive on the truck.

 

I'll post some feedback this weekend after I get to drive it a bit

 

I'll post here

Does that get in the way of the RCI skid plates?
