What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Well..l I had a busy day yesterday. I just Bought a few weeks ago my 2021 TSS and some things that were a must. Besides I just wanted, I need to be functional for getting into the garage comfortably. One of the first things I did was was replace the factory “all weather” mats to weather tech. I am not sure if I posted that when I did, so apologize if I double posted. But..... what I received over the past couple days and did yesterday.
*EVERY interior/exterior bulb upgrade from headlight revolution
*Left pillar/oh shit handle replacement
*New TRD Pro LED headlights
*New TRD Pro LED foglights
*Platinum power folding mirrors. Works with switch and keyless remote
*Color match side mirror caps to get the chrome of new mirrors gone
*LED (white) lights under truck when I unlock to see the steps

 

where did you pick up the headlights?

 

​

Got a few in the works right now. I go in Dec 9th for another full day session

And then there are the dumb gas attendants who don’t pay attention to what they are filling the tank with a put regular in a diesel truck and do thousands of dollars in damage. Happened to my buddy last week.

lol not sure. I haven’t tried. I mean, if they are going to do it for me, have at it! It’s pouring down rain and cold here a good portion of the year so it’s not like I’m in a hurry to get out and do it.

It was like rocket science. For a moment, I didn’t think I’d be able to handle it.

 

Took my RTT off for the winter. Was a good run this year

 

Sparks parts. Found a channel on YouTube that had 5% discount. When I texted them I said that wasn’t enough for what I wanted to buy. They gave me another 10% and free shipping. I knew it was going to be quite a bit regardless but I like the oem look and beats buying the higher trim level.

 

Beautiful! Pass the details on for the discounts! Almost $600.00 for the pair as it currently sits in my cart.

 

Do you have a discount code?

 

Would love to know which part numbers you grabbed for the mirrors. I don’t have or want BSM either. How was the install? On your Limited, did you have to add wires? Once I get my other stuff done, I very much may still do the power folds.

 

The 5% code was gearrunner5. As for the other discounts/shipping I just asked expecting nothing but the person said another 10 ( 15% total ) plus free shipping. Not sure if that’s a military discount or what ( which I’m not ) but if they offer.... well...

Also, when I buy from my local dealer I ask for “shop price”. My friend owns a stereo/custom shop and I’ll use his account. I’ve never had a problem. I just gives the heads up to my friend that I’m using his account haha. It was still cheaper going through sparks. My local dealer can be a few dollars more than others.

I’m an impatient person when I want something. I’ll find the best price I can but when I want, I buy. I say this because when I was talking to H.R. about my lights, I enquirer about the TRD headlights. They carry the oem ones but more expensive. He said that they will be having a BF sale and they would be 20% off and if I was willing to wait, then try then. I said nope! Well, I called back a couple hours later and placed my interior/exterior light order and asked other guy about the sale and I would buy the headlights right then and there. He didn’t know of the exact amount and couldn’t done 20% then so I just got the leds. Not sure which guy was telling the truth but for someone willing to wait, they can call and check to verify. It would be a pretty good deal then.

 

Give me a second and I’ll get them. I wanted power folding mirrors with heat/side markers/puddle ( which I didn’t do because I did something better IMO but ran wires if I ever wanted to hook them up )/NO bsm

 

Mirror p/n

 

Hey all, quick question. Didn’t want to start a new thread about my grille, so figured I’d ask here.

Just bought the pro grille and hood bulge. My truck is SSM, so I bought the black grille to have it painted SSM. Do y’all think I need to remove the insert before taking it to the body shop or can they just mask off the insert to paint the surround?

 

daaaaaannnnnngggggg.

i really like the idea of power-folding mirrors. i have my color match mirror caps coming some time this week. super excited about those

 

I don’t know how complicated the removal is, but any labor you can do is labor they don’t have to do which should factor into the $$$ you pay.

 

That’s my thought too, I just wasn’t sure if anyone had specific experience. I didn’t want to waste my time and break tabs on the grille if the body shops wouldn’t remove the insert in the first place.

 

Very cool tattoos. I'm trying to decide on a few more myself.

 

Sweet setup

 

Awesome. I always wanted a husky. My buddy’s Akita runs away very often so be a little careful. But with it being a rescue it should be more calm and grateful lol Also my bulldogs name is blue

 

I took a dremel and destroyed a brand new platinum grill today, because it was cheaper than having one painted. My PRO insert will be here Tuesday, ordered an insert only from Amazon hopefully its decent enough quality to keep. I'll post some before and after shots later this week.

 

Do you have a link to this pro insert?

 

Absolutely, we’re lucky to have him!

Yea we’re actually shocked at how calm he is for his breed, hopefully he stays this way!

If you buy directly from mcautoparts, its a little cheaper. Which is what I did. Mine goes on Tuesday along with Pro headlights and the ihacker harness.

 

After I washed it I put on the Cement mirror caps and a few tvd vinyl pieces

 

I take it the insert is at least decent quality?

 

It is. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and it had the sensor cover with the Tundra logo, TOYOTA letters (that you have to screw on), and the sensor grill garnish.

 

Have any pics???? I’m also looking at doing the same mod

 

I like that mounting system on your Diamondback. You may have mentioned this elsewhere, but I forget. Did you make the mounts yourself? If not, where did you get them?

 

Ceramic coated the truck a couple weeks back, had a ton of questions on process and what products I used...(I’m not a professional on coatings by any means)...did my wife’s car, and video is finally up on the channel, with links to just about everything used...hope it helps!
