What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sweet, just watch out for those components in the middle.

 

Will do. Thanks!

 

Took off the EBay “Tundra” inserts only lasted 2 years and faded LMAO
Installed Toyota brand “Tundra” insert instead

 

I drove it, thought about Cat Plates, signed on and saw this and thought, well yes, who doesn't?

 

Finally got around to installing the Yakima Overhaul rack on the Retrax...surprisingly solid.

 

Got the AMP bumper step for my Birthday
I decided not to replace the bumper bracket just mod the original, I used an angle grinder to cut out the t shaped piece making the clearance needed. (see the blue lines)

It went pretty easy took about 45mins and looks and works good

 

I’m glad you posted this because I was about to pull the trigger on some Amazon ones. Is OEM quality that much better on these?

 

I’m not sure about Amazon but Just decided to go with Toyota since EBay ones failed lol.

 

Stick to Toyota for badges and letter inserts.

 

I bought these off Amazon almost two years ago and they still look perfect. Another reason I like these is because they don't stick out past the indent which I think looks better.

I’ve had that shifter for a few months now, love it. Just wait till it gets cold out. That thing will match the outside air temp. Lol

I got mine in yesterday. Tried out Sport+ mode +4. Makes the truck a beast!

 

My bumper panels had some light surface rust on the powdercoat in a couple of spots. I didn't have them Line-X'ed when the bumper was done. I hit them with a couple coats of Raptor liner in the aerosol can.

 

I drove twenty hours round trip for a hell of a deal I couldn't pass up, they were calling my name, lol. Hey , it's only money and we only live once. Definitely worth the drive. @Wgusler, it was nice meeting you this morning and thanks for the smooth transaction.

I still have my extra set of TRD OR wheels being powdercoated bronze so pictures of them we be posted once I get them back. Gonna be a hard choice on which ones I go with.. I really like these BBS Pros though.

 

So you have your current OR wheels. The set you were getting powder coated bronze. Were so unhappy you drove for some BBS Pros???? Call the powder coated and have the Pros powder coated bronze!!!!

I say this out of pure jealousy. I hate you a little bit right now

Can't wait to see what you do!

 

Anxious to see the Bronze OR. That's what I've been wanting to do, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Now that Spring travel soccer is done with, maybe I can allocate funds differently lol. Did you go a darker bronze or lighter/brighter bronze? Also, agree with @RobertD, have the Pros powdered bronze

 

So when you get them back, put one of each on the truck, create a poll, and we will help you decide.

 

Man, you got me rollin laughing. I like to keep my options open, what can I say? I really wanted the bronze Heritage edition Pros but I couldn't bring myself to make up
a VIN# to get them. I would have to paint these bronze since you can't powdercoat the forged wheels, something about weakening the integrity of the wheel from the heating process. So now I currently have three sets of wheels. I already have a buyer for the TRD OR wheels currently on my truck. So choice will be down to two.

The color is called Triple Bronze (darker) and they will have a clearcoat added to protect it from the elements and fading. I went with gloss so it should be interesting. See above in reference to powdercoat on BBS wheels.

I hear ya George. I am definitely gonna need some help deciding.

 

Hey Jeff I'll trade you a goat and a pint of liquor for them

 

Experimenting with additional footwell lighting in the rear. 6 bars in the rear, now I definitely need more in the front.

 

As good as goat stew sounds right now and washing it down with some liquor...maybe next time.

 

If I decide to sell these I am having powdercoated bronze, you aren't too far from me in Northern Mississippi. Just a thought, lol.

 

I soooo need a set of these. I have 2 sets of OR's. I need to rid myself of both of them and get one set of Pros!

 

That is very tempting lol. This darn forum

 

Rear/bedside is on the left, driver side is towards the top. The device sits towards the front edge of the hole. There are also wires that run near the passenger edge of the hole. Location may vary but the image give you a general idea

 

I must have missed it, but what are we looking at here exactly?

 

Maybe https://www.dipyourcar.com/collecti...cts/brass-monkey-wheel-kit?variant=5630996356 on those BBS wheels?
I agree that the bronze BBS Pro wheels look awesome but didn't know that about the powder coat. Learning new things daily on this forum.

 

Putting under seat storage in a newer Crew max. There are some wires to watch for when cutting the carpet/foam.

 

Same here, was not aware about the powder coat and forged wheels....I almost bought that kit, for whatever wheels I decided to purchase to replace my steelies. However, with a blue truck I thought about going a little brighter bronze so I bought the brass gold kit lol. Yes, I have a kit and no wheels yet

 

I'm right in between y'all. Maybe we can all meet up and have a Tundra party!
