Senpai's 2019 Cement Tundra Build

First real post regarding anything contributing to the Tundra community up until now. I've just been a lurker reading about as much as I could about them.

Quick background, always have been a gear head. Started with motorcycles, then rice rockets, back to motorcycles and now a mix of both when I have time. Currently I daily a couple cars different cars. 1994 FJ80 and a 1985 AE86.

With that being said I was also driving a 1999 F350 for work 2-3 times a week, loved that beast but it was just that... a beast. I didn't tow enough to justify driving it and with the diesel prices around the same as premium gas I didn't see a reason to keep driving it.

Enter 2019 Tundra ! My brother has a FJ cruiser and I've also been a fan of the different colors they kept coming out with, got super close to buying a Red Trail Teams one or the Cement one. Cement color was my favorite !

Bought the truck brand new from Longo Toyota and really tried to resist doing anything to it... without much luck. I ended up doing the following to it within 3 weeks of owning it...

Ceramic Coated the paint
3M Crystalline all windows and windshield
Black door handles
Cement bumper caps and mirror caps
TRD Pro Grill
Amp Research Side Steps
Weathertech floor mats
Camburg UCA
Fox 2.5 DSC Front and Rear Coilovers
88 Rotors rear add-a-leaf (~2" lift)
Pro Comp Fender Flares (paint matched)

I don't have as much as time as I used to when it comes to greaseballing, but have found really reliable shops locally in Southern California to do the work for me.

Chris @ 88 Rotors slammed the suspension out with his crew in a day.

Carlos @ Coachcraft in Monrovia is currently fitting the flares.

 

Welcome from CO.

 

Welcome from FL

 

Welcome from eastern CO!

 

Welcome from Texas, Pro Comp fender flares!

 

The TRD Pro grill looks great and looks like a 2019? I only see the 19 Pro grills in black and white, did you have it painted? If so what color did you get to begin with I guess to make it easier for the shop to color match it? (Sorry not an autobody person, just doin ma research) But seriously, sick looking Tundra, Can't wait to see future pics.

 

thats a good start

 

Yup it's a 2019 Pro Grill. Bodyshop painted it along with the bumper caps, I just ordered it in white. Can't wait to get it back from the body shop too but after seeing how sad the stock wheels and tires look I needed to decide on some sooner that later it seems.

 

In case you wanted to see how much more pro comp flares push your truck body out with stock wheels...

Looks like I’m on donuts..haha

 

Welcome and congrats on one beautiful truck!!

 

Nice! How much more coverage do those flares give you? Looks like allot.

Been awhile since I've checked these forums. Some recent photos.
