What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Yes, you’re right.
I was like wtf!

However, they were extremely apologetic.
The father went out to the shop and talked to the the son.
The father then apologized profusely and explained that they were very busy that day and figured his son could handle a simple alignment. “He had done them before”.
As I Was leaving, the son was pulling out of the parking lot.

I later learned that the father sent the son home that day with no pay and he worked for free until he paid the shop back.

But yeah, hazardous and dumb.

 

Where'd you get these?

 

I followed the link, but it says only available in carbon fiber color. Did you special order the matte black?

 

Yes, I made a special request with Rich for a matte black one.

 

I’m all for teaching kids skills and all, but at least oversee the work. Sounds like the dad took care of you and is doing the right thing by making the son pay the shop back through labor. Hopefully, they’ll watch him closely as he works it off!

Paid. It. Off.
now for more upgrades

 

NICE!

 

Any ideas on how to black out the shiny face of the radio buttons? I'm thinking a matte black vinyl. I like the solid feel and texture of the side of the knobs and don't want to replace with the AJT. Does TVD make anything like this?

 

^^That is a GREAT idea!

 

I used hobby sanding sticks. The ones that are used to sand plastic parts for scale models. Then cleaned with alcohol, prepped with primer followed by plastic paint (satin black). The same process was done for the vent and climate control rings, climate knobs, and steering wheel emblem.

 

Wow ... i like the touch on the NSV light switch .... i need to get mine working ASAP !!! Thanks Matt for the insight.

 

Thanks Jay!
I agree let's get that NSV bar working. Call on me when you are ready to delve into it again!

 

What kind of lights are these?

 

Blue ones.

 

Will do Matt .. thanks

 

Thanks dick...lol

Thanks @rrentrop at TVD Vinyls, small subtle touch added to TSS cover, love it!...also finally got the AJT radio knobs for the 2020’s, goes perfect with the rest of the interior AJT stuff!

 

Thanks Robert!

 

Appreciate it.

 

I still like my answer.


Side note: Those blue lights are unreal, Geno!

 

@AzureNightmare it was a good answer! I know I've responded in kind many times hahaha

 

Plastidipped Bumper Cover and swapped 1794 chrome out for some SuperWhite Goodies. chrome stuff going up for sale shortly if anybody is interested.

 

Looks good. Be sure you follow the BST rules for that chrome stuff. You don't wanna get booted for a violation.

 

Definitely not, I was just creating the FS thread right now...I see the 50 post requirement...I have a Ton of posts over on Tacomaworld, but for some reason I thought they transferred over here...I guess not...FS will have to wait

 

I like it .. its clean. funny how mine was like that before, i actually color match mine to the truck along with the outside door handles.

 

Kudos to @602runner for the awesome bed anchors!

¡Muchísimas gracias, Keith!
