    Yes, heavy duty Velcro tape.

    Yes they sprayed the bolts and two of the from tie down holds but not the rear. Weird

    Crappy pic, but had the Revtek kit and BFGs installed today. Sits great completely changed the looks and stance
    2.5/1.25 and 275/65s on the factory 20s for now. Only had to tweak the skid plate, front flaps still on. No rubbing. Rides great!!

    that extra inch of tire and aggresive look is a perfect IMO.

    Really like my bedrug, but after a couple years, the strips on mine came off. The bedrug almost flew off driving down the highway, too. Have a bar in the bed to weigh it down now.

    I have a tunneau cover .. i don't think that will happen to me but they do sell velcro strips at HD or Amazon that might work if you need replacements.

    Instead of buying an expensive Platinum lid, I bought a synthetic leather console cover on ebay, padded it with foam (not shown), and installed it like a Katzkin.

    I don't know if this counts... but I didn't know I had the power roll down window. Not kidding.

    Out of boredom, I got to looking at the build sheet from the dealer the previous owner bought it from... mostly to verify my gear ratio (4.30, hadn't looked to see that tow package meant that across the board)... and it said that I had the power rear window... and sure enough I couldn't see the button for it due to my look angle with the steering wheel.

    Had started looking through junk yards to find wrecked CM cabs to pull it from. So... thanks to the previous owner, even if I didn't know that it was there from the get go.

    I subject myself to expected ridicule... its worth it for not having to put it in myself - and I laughed at myself for a good half an hour this morning. Just wanted to share the laughs.

    I bought on ebay.ca (Canada) but this looks the same https://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leather-Center-Armrest-Cover-for-14-18-Toyota-Tundra-Black/223166112928?fits=Model:Tundra&epid=26013189896&hash=item33f5bca4a0:g:q3cAAOSwlgFbrCU2:rk:4:pf:1&frcectupt=true

    The cover isn't meant to have padding between, I used a thin sheet of packaging foam off one of my Amazon orders lol to make it cushier.

    Yes, I took the airbag off, masked the badge surrounding it with newspaper and plasti-dipped it, that way I could just peel off around the badge and in the middle.

    The steering control covers, vent rings, panel pieces on either side of the radio, cup holder, gear surround I removed, sanded and painted with Rust-oleum plastic primer and paint. The TRD shift knob I just masked and painted the same way.

    Other than the badge, I don't recommend plasti-dip anywhere inside, it's not a nice smooth finish and nicks too easy.

    Thanks, does the airbag badge pop off or is it stuck on with double side tape?

    No, it doesn't come off, wish it did, that be easy. See nk's vid, removal of air bag here:



    So that whole center piece was removed and in my garage, pretty much covered in newspaper except for the emblem, before I dipped.

    It's awesome, no chrome/silvery distractions on the steering wheel.
