What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Couldn't have that kind of evidence as I did it in our hood, can't allow certain things to be made public.

 

What type and size tires are you running? Looks like you are still running the original suspension. Any rubbing issues?

 

Would those chrome ends fit a 2018 CrewMax?

 

Looks great! How do you like the fit? Any issues with gaps?

Thanks

 

Thanks!

They fit really good no gaps to the body nice and snug., They have slots so there is room for adjustment. You can see the front is a little off, but I literally just slapped them on. I’ve got a list of things I need to go back and tweak, like the amp running boards etc.


I could be wrong but I think these flairs are OEM accessories as they had Toyota part numbers and the instructions read like a shop manual.

 

Looks nice. Just curious how much did these set you back?

 

Nice job and good work with the torque wrench. Now you know you are capable of some DIY mods, good job getting your feet wet

 

They should depending on whether you have sonar sensors or not. But I think he still has the chrome caps on, and used white bumper shellz to cover over them

 

$585

I keep justifying the exterior as in it’s now or never if I want to color match because the paint loses pigment overtime. Same goes for the underneath it’s nice and clean. I’m really at the tipping point for an exhaust, but I told myself nothing to the engine as long as it’s under warranty although in the state’s they technically can’t gig me on it unless they can prove the mod caused the issue.

I thought these style flairs was a happy medium and now I have an idea for offset when I get new tires.

 

Thank you, sir! Was actually much easier than I anticipated. Now I wonder how challenging the TRD fual exhaust will be!

 

Haha tell you what, you pick me up a coffee this Tuesday morning and I'll have an order shipped out for you today. Looking good my man!

 

Thanks, if i was heading to Atlanta today i sure would het you a coffee, lol.

 

Finished this up yesterday. JBL GTO609c components to replace the front and rear speakers. Once I figured out how to bypass the trash stock amp, everything sounded great!

 

Haha all jokes my man, hope you're doing well! Appreciate the support!

 

As long as your nuts and bolts are rust/heat seized It'll be a breeze. Just a bolt on kit, spray the nuts for a few days before you plan to do the job with some penetrating spray. Also purchase new gaskets if the kit doesn't include them, they are cheap and worth replacing while you're doing it

 

Plug and play? did you have to trim anything, splice any wires? Is this specific for the Tundra?

 

Just a heads up on this, the center console would not work for my wireless charger, after testing with these particular USB ports that have an on off switch. If you have something plugged in prior to turning the key on it will not power on. I found this one installed and tested last night and it works fine

Got new coilovers, wheels and tires

 

Far from plug and play... I've already swapped out the headunit for a Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX and added a sub/amp previously. I was able to reuse the door woofer wiring, though, so just had to run a new wire up to the dash location for the tweeters, which is a mild pain in the ass. I've got a wiring harness kit coming to clean up the amp bypass I did. I had to remove the stock amp because it has a low pass filter built into it, or so it seems.

Lovin that look..

 

Awesome. Appreciate the guidance.

 

Thank you, with this I can at least start with the door speakers

 

Added the Intermittent Wipers stalk. Only one clip to disconnect now. Easy peezy.

Just as I finished that the FexEx truck pulled up with the new Ionx 5 premium Nerf Bars. Installed in an hour. Now the wife can climb aboard without pulling and straining.

 

Removed tonneau and drop in liner, cleaned the steel bed, sprayed with fluid film, installed weathertech underliner, reinstalled bed liner, installed swing case, reinstalled tonneau cover. Time consumer but easy and gives me piece of mind there is ZERO rust in the bed and it'll be good for many years to come.

 

added the color matched mirror caps from sparks parts. Pretty affordable and super easy mod! Gotta have more QS

 

Added these red 5.7 decals... not sure if I like them yet.

 

I love them!! Link? Just need to fill in the other letters in white maybe....

 

I like!

 

Why this instead of Line-X or other spray in bed line?

 

I don't have the money for a spray in liner. I would certainly love to have that done but can't justify the cost. I used about $5 worth of fluid film and came across that bed liner protector mat thing for cheap on craigslist, it came with the swing case.
I also really like the durability and strength of the plastic drop in liner. I have used it to haul firewood, gravel, bricks, mulch, my old honda ATC 3 wheeler and the usual bed for the truck stuff.
I justify my cheapness too lol. I don't use my bed too often but when I do I don't wanna worry about scratching, denting, chipping an expensive liner. I have the tonneau in a place 99% of the time and it stays very dry under there.
I was pleasantly surprised by the fact there was zero rust and minimal paint wear under the bed liner which has been in there for 5 years and 40k miles. A lot of that can probably be attributed to the fact the truck has always had a tonneau and has been garage kept.
