What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I like the look and contrast and considering doing the same. It might be interesting to see how it would look one row up on the grille though...

Very nice Tundra!

 

I agree with Ron if the look is what you are after. But as paint protection from what you described, it looks better than scratches would. The first thing I thought of was a Nissan Titan.

 

Seems maybe a temporary shield could be used to protect the tailgate and only when needed? Maybe this aftermarket cover could be made to install temporarily?...just a thought.

 

I'll have time this weekend to play with placement. It's just sitting in there for a photo op. If it goes 1 row up I'll have to move it towards the center a little to line it up with a hole. I'll post more pics sometime tomorrow. Kids are running me ragged with baseball season in full swing

 

Been there, done that. Gotta love the baseball and enjoy it while you can! Thanks for posting pics with the logo in different locations as it will certainly help me decide what to do.

 

Anytime brother

 

I left the light in place. I think the visibility will be OK. I might add LED's too offset the tint. I followed the video below. The fins make it extra tricky!

Tint used:

$20 VViViD Extra-Wide Headlight Taillight Vinyl Tint Wrap Roll (Light Smoke 16" x 48" 2-Roll Pack)

It is part of the adaptive cruise control and TSS avoidance system (I might be calling this the wrong thing), but it's all integrated into the rearview mirror area. Someone who knows more than me may have better information though...

 

I believe it's used for lane keep assist and emergency braking, and the sensor in the grill is for adaptive cruise.

 

I knew I wasn't correct, but the camera is in the rearview mirror cluster, correct? For a truck without over the top technology (which I like, less to go wrong), they snuck some pretty good tech in for safety.

 

Correct, it's behind the rearview mirror.

 

I agree with Jim LE 1301. I took a more expensive route using the Spyder LEDs...

 

I like the Spyders, but they are a bit too dark for my liking.

 

I think what you are doing looks very good! Pls. post pics if and when you do the other light and maybe from a side view too.

 

Yes the tss sensor behind the windshield takes calibration I miscalled it a camera. But it is part of the radar cruise and tss I believe. I was just letting people know that some companies do onsite calibration so you don’t have to go into the dealership after new glass.

 

Understood. However, my policy is to stick with known quantities. Where Champion, for all they can't calibrate the camera, has done an awesome job for me in the past, I'm staying with them. I've seen the result of (and had to DEAL with!) oor windshield replacement jobs in the past.

 

I'm with you, if I get good service, I'm sticking with a business. Even if it makes me have to do a little extra myself.

 

Thanks @d_kinneyjr for the idea and reference; finally got the logo today on the slow boat from China; thanks so much for the tip! I put mine in the same place you did; I didn’t think it looked better anywhere else. Fully committed and drilled the grill, but could NOT find that darn thread locker again... 60% of the time, it goes missing every time.

 

This really put my expertise and persistence to the test. I changed out the plate frame for the 3rd time since I've had rust and paint peeling issues on the past 2. This time I went with plastic hoping for better results. Please pretend the plate is blurred out lol.

The old with paint peel in top left corner.



The new



Since it came with a sticker I turned my bedslide divider into a trd pro bedslide divider. I know, I know I'm pretty talented, pls hold applause.



I then took the time to lay out and post in the sale thread for anyone interested in a stock air box however with a trd filter and trd air accelerator making it a trd cold air intake without the fancy red letters or hose and crazy price tag. I've come to the conclusion it's time to start moving the toyota parts store I have sitting in my garage. I have everything from floor mats to tie rods, shackles, rear leaf springs, speakers, fair leads, crash bar, cargo net and bar, fog lights, Trd exhaust, I mean the list goes on and on. If anyone needs anything pm me. I'm planning to start slowly posting in sale thread on this site before I list other places. I rather give you guys first chance at good deals. Sorry for tangent just trying to give you guys on this thread first heads up since I like and interact with a lot of you guys on a regular.

 

I did the ones from www.tvdvinyldecals.com/collections/tundra/products/premium-cast-vinyl-heritage-decals-for-2019-2020-tundra-grille

No drilling, just clean the spots and stick em on. They look great too.

 

FIFY

 

Link to the new LP frame?

 

Hopefully this works

I have the Sport version.

 

I knew I could count on you

 

How's things Mike? Family?

 

They seem to be pretty good for price and what they are. I've seen the sport version, I never saw the pro version until the other day when I looked. Until now it seemed my only option were trd plates without the pro. The pro makes my OCD happy.

 

Good brother, hopefully yours is the same. Seems my work busy season is just about over now. Hopefully a little more time for kids, sports, and fun.
