What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I guess I got lucky, as they had them in stock when I ordered about 7 or 8 months ago.

Getting a pop-n-lock installed!

 

Installed a remote start and roll up tonneau cover. Both took less than an hour.

Other mods since I bought it new 1 month ago:
Rear TRD sway bar
Wireless phone charger
USB plug for rear passengers
Painted mirror caps and hood bulge body color-cement
Pop n lock tailgate lock
Black badges
TRD air filter

Future:
Body color paint rest of grill surround and bumper caps
Lift, wheels, and tires
Leather interior
I'm sure many more

 

Purchase what from?

 

your front bumper covers

 

Ahh. I think it was parts geek.. like $75 a piece

 

Go bills! Added some new license plate frames

 

Started replacing my factory speakers today. What a complete PIA. The 3.5” mods fit in the corner dash but require a little trimming. They sound pretty freaking amazing though. Got the 6x9 3 ways in the front doors and the mids in the dash. Going to install the 6.5” two ways in the rear doors tomorrow. Can’t wait to get some subs in next.

 

Been a few days, but installed a pop-n-lock and painted the hardware on the fender flares and hood shield.

 

Please perfect this thing and black out that third tail light!

 

If you don't mind, what did that run you? I'd like to update mine but don't wanna pay too much

 

BS really help against bugs or just looks, does look nice, brand?

 

Looked at quite a few running boards and decided I liked the width of the dealer-installed boards, just couldn't stand the chrome. I should have asked them to switch them out when I bought the truck, but just didn't occur to me and I was unaware they came in black until a month later. I also really liked the style, so I had them sanded and sprayed with LineX. I'm pretty happy with them, curious what your thoughts are. We will see how they hold up (which is why I had it professionally done instead of messing it up myself.)

 

How? I was looking for the 3rd brake light but couldn’t find anything .. please send links !!

 

I had mine painted along with the tail lights. One person bought the VHT Nightshade and applied it on the inside of the red cover to keep the glossy look. I'll try to find the link. You still have one of the best looking MGM trucks on here!

The converter that the dealer gave (sold) me with the truck kept backing out, so I ditched it and put in a USB outlet. The kit came with several cords (lightening, mini-USB and micro-USB with the converter.) The cords are great, but the converter never stays in the socket, so don't waste your $$ with it. Also installed the jam handles... love those things!

This thing blows


Works much better


For the OCD crowd

 

It does provide some deflection actually. It's probably not as great as one designed to flow the air more but it's better than not having one.

Thanks

 

Awe man, thank you! I really appreciate that!

 

For all 6 speakers and some inline bass blockers for the 3.5” it was about $197.

 

Score

 

The bass isn’t much on the door speakers but it sounds better than the factory. Once I get some new subs and box I should have a full sound. Not sure what subs I’m going with yet. Any recommendations without spending an arm and a leg?

 

My doors are factory, bought Tundra used it came with a sealed box with 2 10" Rockford Fosgates R2 with a Massive Audio Nano amp

 

Bought the same ones about 4-6 months ago!

 

Tyger star steps & bar.

 

I have those running boards. They came on the truck, from the dealer, when I bought it in December of 2016. Mine are factory black. They work perfect. Perfect. I like that they stand off from the truck body about 1" - 1.5" so I can get my whole foot/boot/flip-flop on the running board. I'm very surprised more guys don't run them given their perfect utility.

 

Looks great, gotta love the touch of blacking out the hardware. Don't know how you did it, but when I did mine, I found out to last, I had to powder coat them. Hopefully you have better results than my 1st attempt with rattle can. Just fyi, the p.c. is holding up perfect over the last couple years in case you didn't and got to go that route too.

Some could say I might be partial in preferring them blacked out though.

 

I used a self-etching primer before painting. We'll see how long it lasts. I've been kicking around the idea of putting LED's in there, so if it doesn't wear well I may play around w/that idea. I picked up a couple of test bolts that have LED's in them a while back, but they're a little fat.

 

Added tailgate badges. Simple mod but it makes a huge difference.

 

Yep, especially those 3D metal letters.
