Scarlet Witch 2015 CM SR5 Build

I've been lurking for a long time after building out my 2002 Tundra SR5 Access Cab into a decent hunting/camping vehicle. Anyways she was a great truck (never had a single issue with it) for the 7 years or so I had her but my 6 year old son has grown to the point where it wasn't a great fit for long distances for him or my wife. I spent a few month searching around and finally located a 2015 in great condition with low mileage. This is the build thread for that "newish" truck.

To note: this is primarily for me to keep track of what I've done over time.

Also to note: I originally started a thread here but I've asked for that one to be deleted.

These are the original dealer photos.

Welcome from Cypress, TX

 

Great color! Welcome from Nor Cal

 

looking good. nice stance

 

First thing to go was the ridiculous stock antenna. Replaced it with a Rydonair 13" Stubby.

Next up was a set a Matte Black Tailgate Insert Letters.

After:

 

Welcome and nice looking truck!

 

I also installed a console tray for the center console and I'm pretty sure I can still fit a big ol bucket of fried chicken under the tray.

Even though these first updates to the build were cosmetic it still feels pretty damn good.

 

The next upgrade/modification was best left up to the professionals. For whatever reason there was neither drop-in or spray-in bedliner at all. Growing up in Texas this normally wouldn't be an issue but seeing as how I live 500 meters from the ocean it was a priority for me. I took it to Mike's Truck to get it sprayed with Line-X.

Since it was already there I also had them spray the "clone" nFab Predator nerf bars.

There have been many posts about the shitty chrome trim around the center console cupholders. Yes it was an issue a little plastidip and so much better.

Before:


After:

 

I'm not much of a side-than-fender-stance kind of guy but you have that rig looking great. Welcome from CO!

 

So the lift/tires combination was causing quite a bit of rubbing so I decided to do a BMC.

In this photo you can see the bits that are being rubbed when the tires are turned to the far left/right:


Started out by removing quite a bit of the plastic.


That worked for the most part and clearance was pretty decent although there was a slight rub when cranked all the way left/right.


In the end I removed even more of the plastic as well as part of the bumper itself and no zero rub.



Yes it's less than ideal but I plan on replacing the OEM front bumper with a steel aftermarket bumper in the near future.

 

Man that's one healthy scoop you took out of your front bumper there. Guess it's good motivation to buy an aftermarket sooner than later

 

Indeed. otoh I have elk/deer tags for Montana/Idaho this fall so need to pick up something that better protects the front end before those two weeks. Hitting either a elk/deer sucks (firsthand knowledge).

 

I destroyed the front of my 4runner hitting a Turkey at 65 I could only imagine an elk!

 

A few more minor cosmetic changes.... MERICA!!!

 

SCOSCHE MPTFM MagicMount Pro XL Universal Magnetic Phone/GPS/Tablet Mount Holder installed

 

DIY: Bed Mount Bottle Opener installed

 

WeatherTech - Molded Floor Liners front & rear

 

Man i really hate chrome. Black Out Emblem Overlay Kit installed.

Before:



After:

 

Added some tint to the front windows...

After:

 

Another cosmetic change...replaced the stock shifter with a billeted one from Toytec.

Before:


After:

 

Replaced the stock Tundra rear stickers with something more appropriate. Will probably replace in Matte Black.

Before:


After:

 

Installed the UltraGauge MX v1.4 just prior to this latest roadtrip.

 

A few more cosmetic changes this weekend between other chores.

Covered the chrome vent rings with some TufSkinzs Matte Black Covers.

Before:


After:


Replaced the stock radiator cap with the TRD version.

Before:


After:


Same with the Oil Filler Cap.

Before:


After:


Pretty sure that I've added at least 20BHP (split between the two) with the TRD Radiator Cap and Oil Filler Cap.

And finally I got around to plasti-dipping the chrome ring around the gear shift as well as the top plate.

 

The nerf bars look good sprayed in that liner. What kind of flag pole is that?

 

Cali Raised LED Bed Rail Flag Pole Mounting System

 

Looking good there!

 

I swear this truck is Inferno and not barcelona red

 

3R3 paint code toyota is what all the paperwork says and that's Barcelona Red Mica. Lets just say the filters on my phone occasionally come into play
