Cavalry Blue Owners

I just don't have the same kind of chop, grind, and drill mods in mind that you do! If I ever get katzkin leathers for the seats I'll totally drive up and you and your boys can teach me how it's done! I'm no handyman, so this stuff is just more than I can tackle on my own.

I've been bad and let several mods sit instead of installing them anyway. Got to get caught up before I go crazy.

 

Okay, okay... wait I recall the original offer was helping with placing badges, right? No cutting involved or the like with that one... I can totally do that one

I will cut inside the lines for the under seat storage... I promise

It’ll be great!

 

Welcome. This is an elite corps of only the most well seasoned of color enthusiasts. We expect you to conduct yourself as such... or something.

 

You're too kind. I actually just need to get off my @$$ and put that one it. Currently my spare tire is in my backseat. Had to have room in the bed for ice fishing stuff. I'll talk to the shop at work and see if I can use a bay for a day and put my front ABS guards on, install the ESP storage, and maybe even get my rear diff breather tube installed. Just been being lazy and having no motivation lately.

 

Oh man! You haven’t done those dope ABS guards yet?!

I could totally help you out with all of that dude! Get the bay reserved and I will drive down, Rock Springs; right? I have taken out my ESP longbox about four times now for various different things. I could totally have yours installed within an hour; two if you want to do lights in there.

In all seriousness, I still have time off for another two weeks...

 

LMAO! You're definitely The Madman. Both should be pretty quick and easy installs. I'm keeping it simply, no lights. Just adding the bins. I appreciate the exceedingly generous offer, but these are some mods I can tackle easily enough. With the shop bay I'll stay dry and warm and should be able to knock these out no problem. The issue will be finding out if they've got the space I can use. Snow cats, trailers, trucks, backhoes, fork lifts, etc. all take priority over personal use.

 

In-laws got me a cool stocking-stuffer for Christmas. Love how the black mountain sticker contrasts with the Tundra badges and the blue.

 

A few pics from my driving around today...

 

Welcome from Mid TN!

 

Just got the truck bed and running boards sprayed with Line-X today. Posted in another thread earlier, but figured I would share the pics here too!

I think they did a really great job!

 

Hey bud did you end up selling this canopy? If not I would be interested in it.

 

The last piece of my Black & Blue build gets installed Saturday!

I'll post up a pic after install and maybe a wand wash.

Black Rhino Stadium 18x8.5 +10, Falken Wildpeak AT3 275/70

 

I do like those... may consider if I decide to give up my steelies. They'd look great with the tow mirrors!

What can I say, I'm very basic.

 

Wife #2 perhaps??

 

Im going to like this comment because it made me laugh. But also feels like its somehow gonna get both our asses kicked. Lol

 

Bone stock...

Next week I'm having the front bumper ends, mirrors covers, and door handles painted CB. I'm also replacing the front grille (TRD Pro) and hood scoop.

I'm toying with the idea of having my wheels powder coated matte black, but not sure yet. Ultimately I'd like some Fuel Vapor or Siege wheels, but I'd like to wear out my current tires first.

 

Before:


After...Black Rhino Stadium 18x8.5 +10 with Falken Wildpeak AT3 275/70/18



Next up.....Bilstein 5100 all around and a small lift/level.

 

Looks pretty sweet! Not a set of wheels I would have looked at, but I like them!

 

We were originally looking at Method 701 in Bronze, but a few family members weren't convinced and then we found these. They were no frills, no extra cutouts or doohickeys and suited the look of the truck which is also no frills (debadged etc).

Rotary Forged and got them for a very good price after a few sales and price drops while I waited for them to come in stock. They ended up being $275cad/each.

 

Like!

 

I need friends like this guy. You have a blue truck but hey, nobody's perfect.

 

Can I join this club?

Just picked up today.

 

You're in! Congrats on the new wheels!

 

It is with great pride that this group, with extreme regard given to the hue of blue adorned by the applicant’s vehicle, humbly, amicably, and confidently accepts trucknut into the ranks of the Cavalry Blue Owners group residing, here, within the friendly confines of tundras.com with immediate effect.

You are hereby tasked with praising this color, the ONLY color, as bestest and chill-est throughout this forum.

Best Regards,
The Most Bored Member of this group.

 

looks awesome. I was very close to buying those but the +10 offset scared me off. Went with method 316 in black for the +18 offset. Install Tuesday.

 

Thank you. I will carry out this task with honor.

 

It scared me too, right up until install. I would have preferred these in the +18 to +25 range to play it safer. Now I can justify a small lift/level to stop the rub. . In the end, I'm happy with the stance and look.

Can't wait to see how your Methods work out. What tire size are you putting on?

 

I’m just rolling with stock tires since they only have 12k miles on them, considering a toyo at3 275/70 when I hit 50k.
