Kidnapped Tundra

This is how I bought my Tundra 10/17. I live in a salt/rot area. I wanted the most truck for my money so I found it in Virginia Beach.



This summer I took off my hard tonneau cover and traded my Chrome steps for a bed rail system and a soft tri-fold tonneau cover and added PP Engineering Type 4 sliders from the group buy.

 

One of the benefits of living in the South, we rarely have rust on any vehicles. Unfortunately they tend to melt the interiors in our hot summers lol

 

I got lucky, the interior is why I bought it. It's a light tan color. There are no cracks on the dashboard, no wear spots on the carpet or seats. It had 164,XXX Miles on it.

 

Nice looking truck...I like that red color

 

Thank you, yes the color is very nice. Better in person when you can see the metal flakes in it. It's only an SR5, I like that it isn't very futuristic. The one thing I wanted was a front bench seat. I had no idea they are so hard to find. Took me 6 months of searching Craigslist. Lol

 

My old grill:
New grill, I like the blacked out look.

 

Finished up the spring frontend make over with the installation of the Morimoto XB headlights.

 

Finished up the install of my Rago Bed stiffeners.:

 

I have added PowerStop Calipers, pads and drilled and slotted rotors along with StopTech D.O.T approved SST brake lines. I also added a set of Falken Wildpeak tires

 

I have a fun winter project, I have a Warn 12K lb Zeon winch to go in the bumper as well.

 

That black bumper is going to look good on that truck!!

 

Thanks, I hope so !!

 

Over the winter I added a Demello front bumper and Warn Zeon Platinum 12S winch.

 

After almost 4 years of searching I finally found a cap on the used market.

 

Working on the cap a bit. Trying to turn it into a mini camper.

 

I too wanted a bench, they’re definitely few and far between!
The SR5 still gets dual climate control, so it’s top tier in my eyes

Dang those headlights do look really good

Nice! Demello makes killer parts! I’ve met Jason Demello, outstanding people they have there too. Great company to stand behind.

Might be the tallest shell I’ve ever seen haha. But I bet it’s really comfortable to be back there. The cab height shells can be a bit limiting if you want to sit up while back there on a platform or air mattress.

Any updated pics/write up of the topper build out?

 

I added 200 watts of Harbor Frieght's best solar panels which required another hole in the roof to run the wires through. I built this panel to help utilize the solar power, MPPT, Fuse box, 2200 watt inverter and breaker.
