What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

That suck!

 

Aw SHIT! Hope it wasn't hit and run. Your pic is kind of ironic with a Geico ad in the background.

 

Nice looking truck. How are you liking the stage 6? How does it ride? Looking at the stage 4 currently.

 

Update: found oil on both side of engine (cam tower leaking) ..... guess I will be contacting Toyota after the new year to see if this is covered.

 

pop n lock for the tailgate and did the trd bezel for my rigid fog lights

 

I wasn’t pleased with first paint job on the grill surround, so I redid it and did the bumper caps too. All chrome gone except exhaust.

This is much more acceptable.

 

Got my ronin bullet antenna today but couldn’t figure out how to get this out of where my antenna slot is now. Any ideas? Already tried a flat head screwdriver

 

Vise grips.

 

X3 vice grips

 

Indy got the Rough Country rear LED bumper for Christmas. Can't wait to put it on.

Bedliner.
But not the heavy thick-textured stuff.
Rattle can.

 

I’ve used them all, so maybe I can help.

Duplicolor (blue can) is the best if you can find it. Layer nice, even coat, and then press the nozzle halfway until it starts spitting heavy droplets...aim above what you’re painting and let the droplets fall on the previous coat while still tacky. It gives a beautiful droplet texture.

Duplicolor (Black can, new formula) doesn’t texture quite as well, but goes on evenly. My biggest issue is that it ISNT BLACK. It’s fine if standing alone, but if it’s next to something black, it will look gray. It’s dark, just not as black as it could be or used to be. ALSO AVAILABLE IN CLEAR AND WHITE.

Duplicolor Bed Armor (Kevlar) is jet black and textures well from the can, but is water based...do not use this if there is high humidity, fog, or chance of rain. It takes the longest to dry, but is the strongest. PAINTABLE

Rustoleum will give the smoothest texture, and is great for trim pieces and areas that don’t come in contact with much. It is also the most likely to peel/scrape off.

Herculiner sprays and adheres well, but not many places carry it...so if you are doing a big project it may be difficult to find enough of it.

Krylon is newer and this was my first time to use it. It goes on in the most beautiful, even texture, and most closely resembles plastic bumpers, fender flares, etc. After spraying it, go back over and lightly dust it with the spray to perfect any heavy areas that look darker.
THIS IS WHAT IS ON MY SURROUND AND BUMPER CAPS.

 

Interior LED swap today.

Went with the jdm astar. Easy swap. Much brighter.

No fuses blown or other self-imposed headaches. Woot.

 

Got the bulge lights wired up.

 

man you should use some vise grips like they said!

 

Looks great! I have the same 17” Icon Rebounds and size tires, except mine are the Cooper Discoverer XLTs. I have Bilstein 6112s at the 1.9” setting and completely removed the front plastic from the bumper and no rubbing. I plan to cut the plastic liner and refit it back on to protect the fog light housing from mud and splash, but so far so good with the fog lights after a few months now.

 

I'll try that

 

Better than a stretched out metal coat hanger.

 

I wrapped my steering wheel trim pieces to match the rest of my interior dash. I think I’m going to paint the silver volume button black.

 

Started this yesterday, but it got dark on me, so I finished this morning. Installed Spyders with Morimoto HID kit. I'm in love.

 

Took the boat out with the old man.

 

This is great because I have a worn out green vinyl wrap on my Tundra and I'm waiting for good weather and time to remove it. I have the same dark metallic grey under the wrap and I want to leave/re-wrap the chrome elements matte black. This is great inspiration for what the final product would look like. Looks great!

 

You know when you think you got it - making it through a really tight area... I didn't make it. It made me sick. Getting estimate on 26th and then taking it to Mossy Toyota Collision Center.

 

Almost had to do a complete backout at a McDonald's drive-thru one time because of that narrow bullshit.

 

Nice Combo!

 

Love the look.

Are the lights that come with the Spyders not bright enough (hence the Morimoto HID) ?
