What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sotex, I'd listen to Belanger because I just installed mine yesterday....

Experience says it's a simple job that won't hamper usage of the bed for hauling dumped stuff.

Thanks Belanger,

 

Finally using it as a truck.

 

Those look awesome on your truck Mike, I’m almost done with my new set...will post pics soon.

 

That's the same percentage I went with mine and my wife who uses it at night since she work graveyard shift hasn't complained about the darkness yet. The front on the other hand might be too dark. Gonna have to roll down the window when a cop pulls up next to me.

 

Good to know! I'll keep that in mind when I get mine!

 

**EDIT** 4H & 4L came back flashing with the traction control light and ABS light solid......damnit! Guess it's not the solution from what I read. Whelp, time to research more...

 

Not OP but as these others have said its super easy. Recently moved and taking it apart into its 3 pieces can be done by one person in 10 minutes. If you have someone help you you can just unscrew the bolts and carry it off as one piece in under 5 minutes.

Do yourself a favor when installing to mark the edges of the center piece on the plastic bed rails with some white/silver permanent marker. Makes aligning it a one time job and you can just align your marks you made on the truck rails with the edges of the center piece. Can’t remember where I saw that tip but it is super helpful.

 

Going to try and vinyl wrap my ugly but functional stepboards (dogs need an easy way to get in), where it’s brushed metal, as a precursor to attempting to wrap the handles. What vinyl are you planning to use?

 

Just remember to roll down the window on both sides.

 

Now I need to contact @Coupe and get a tie-down befitting this battery...

 

Did the Winjet tail lights. Love the look

 

Paid it off. What a feeling!

 

MAN, I feel you. My flex took at shit at 64K miles. A fractured water pump is the reason why I have a Tundra.

 

Best mod any of us hoping to do sooner than later.

 

Received and "installed" a Diamondback CrossBin 13 tray for my Diamondback HD bed cover.

.

 

Where did you ge those? Are they the same as Toyota puts on, or are they thicker?

 

Amazon....

That looks suspiciously like a metal coffin!

 

Did quite a bit. Sanded and repainted it. Took over a week of sanding, priming, prepping, painting, and putting back together.
Changed headlights. Painted all emblems flat black and glued them on.
Quite happy with the results.

 

Man, that sway bar always looks so killer with the white Pro skid plate.

 

Am I the only one that wants to cook up a load of carne asada in that thing?

 

Great job.

 

Installed decked system and camper shell
Truck is full on ready for wandering now

 

Installed LED interior and cargo lights today. Did this on my last Tundra also. Such a great improvement!

 

I was the sucker that bought the extended warranty when we got the explorer used, but good thing we did. Took it in last month because we were having some electrical issues. In addition to the wiring issues they found, also had fwd and rear ruptured motor mounts and water pump needed to be replaced. $4500 billed to the warranty company. The warranty runs out at about 100k, at which point I think we’ll have to trade it for a 4Runner.

 

Yeah get out from under it. I was lucky. I drove it to the dealership just about dry of coolant. They did their little test drive and offered me 9k trade in. I didn’t haggle one danged bit over that.

 

If it weren't for this site, a bunch of us would probably do this mod a LOT sooner!

 

Waxed the truck today after falling out of love with the Bead Maker I've been using the past six Months. Thought i was imagining it at first, but this stuff attracts dirt like a magnet, and leaves water spots underneath the coating, not sure how, but it does. Its a shame because i thought it had good reviews.

 

Used it to haul all the shit to my wedding. Then I noticed in the wedding photos it was in the background as my wife was walking out. Double win...LOL

 

Congratulations
