What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Picked up some used AMP Research power steps for cheap on Craigslist. Gotta clean them up and find some time to install them.

I started a thread on refinishing the steps in General Tundra Discussion if anyone has input.

Nope leather came on seats, dash, and doors, just not on steer wheel. They skimped out there with those cheap rubbery plastic ones that wear too quick.

 

Yeah im.not to happy with my steering wheel, but the price to replace with leather is outrageous

 

I like it...but I think I like the TRD Pro shift knob more...

Yep! I got it for my Tacoma about a year ago when they were still putting the logo on their products.

 

Nice! Which model CV M-sub is yours? Is it powered by the factory nonJBL amp? I'm not looking to pound either, just want something behind the rear crew seats.

 

Finally got it tinted!!! Looks so much nicer inside and out.

 

thanks that would change my opinion as well.. i like the all black leather pro knob as well

 

I agree with Mike. There's the TRD red one in the back where there is none. And a TRD red front that replaces the lighter stock one. Just installing the back one, I noticed less body right away at slow speed in my suburbs. Install both and you're much more locked in at high speed on curved highway ramps. Still not as tight as our Lexus NX, that's how side-to-side rocky our stock Tundras are. Well worth it unless you're a crawler and rather go naked front and back for increased articulation.

 

Im gonna be honest i have both trd sway bars and ever since i installed the front i feel like you feel every little bump in the road way more. I have mixed feelings for the front bar. Maybe if i didnt level the truck out and had stock tires it maybe a different story i assume.

 

Ive been reading about all these steering wheel covers and steering wheel swaps, even on higher trim levels. Mine is a Limited and came with a nice leather wrapped wheel. Not as nice as a luxury car, but nice compared to a rubber/ plastic wheel.

Did not all higher trims come with leather wheels?

 

Changed chrome mirror caps to white and chrome door handles to black.

 

I think limited/platinum/1794 only cane with leather. And i learned that the expensive pro come with the rubber SR5 wheel.

 

I thought so too. I watched this video awhile back from Victory 4x4 and he was changing his Platinum wheel out because he said it was the crappy plastic. Kinda looks like it is.

 

Looks good with that combo. Havent seen that alot.

 

I just changed out from regular center caps to TRD center caps from Cool Springs Toyota on my stock wheels. Nice, subtle mod. They are too clean compared to the wheels right now!

 

It’s the VPAS10. It’s is a self contained unit with sub and built-in amp.

 

Don't be, it just peels right off..

 

I have the same amp/sub combo. Installed it a couple of weeks ago, loving it so far.

 

Bought some Matte Black vinyl off of Amazon the other day...

 

Looks great. That’s is on my to-do list. Are you happy with the quality of the vinyl? Link to it on Amazon if you don’t mind.

 

Awesome sauce, how do I feed it? I see you have an Android HU like me.

 

was driving a Ram 1500 ecodiesel the fuel mileage was great but the added cost of diesel fuel and the you have to replace fuel filters every 10k miles and DEF were offsetting the savings and the dealer offered us 0% so made the switch back.

 

The head unit has multiple rca outputs.

 

Link?

 

Thanks! I think this is the budget solution I’m looking for without changing out the stock amp.

 

Here is my write-up:

$43 3M 1080 M12 MATTE BLACK 5ft x 3ft (15 Sq/ft) Car Wrap Vinyl Film

3M 1080 M12 MATTE BLACK

 

Sorry just looked and couldn't find it again. Might have been taken down. Was getting pretty real.

 

Looks good. I don’t mind my existing sound system. Adding a sub adds a lot of depth with minimal effort and you can tweak the truck tone controls to higher frequency, gaining power in the mid/high range.
How is the fit beneath the seat? Where did you tie into the existing sound system?

 

EURO style key.
