What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

What a cool idea!

 

Today is the two year anniversary of me purchasing my first Tundra. I recreated the photo I took when I brought it home. Build thread coming soon...

 

Got a part number?

 

I got these “carbon” covers on ebay... I’m not digging the glossy fake carbon look so I’m going wet sand them and paint satin black with some SEM Interior paint

 

Accidentally dropped my LEER camper shell onto cabin. Bad thing: it got a big dent! Good thing: was able to pull it out almost perfectly with a cheap PDR kit:



Bad thing: the kit did absolutely nothing to dents on my old (2005) Volvo tank

 

Good save

 

Not the prettiest but I'll clean it up later. Here is how I did mine after cutting it down. I can't beleive that it bounced that bad as expensive as it was. Some of the others on here said that theirs is solid...I have no idea how.

 

I'm considering this as well. How well does the cover fit? Do you feel the edges when its installed?

Feel free to just tag me after you paint and install.

 

SEM trim paint is good stuff...I used it in mine.

I agree. Only interior thing I don’t have are the new door handle covers. Not sure I’m sold. glad I got the blacked out Toyota symbol prior to his newer “AJT” design emblem in the same spot. Looks nasty

 

I know SEM is good. I'm curious about the overlay. I'm trying to avoid taking the steering wheel apart

 

Solid cause they only drive the highways!!! HAHA, seriously tho, I followed the directions to a T and everything went in just like the video they provide. But it still bounces quite a bit to the point sometimes I cant even read stuff on the screen. Wish the truck had Android Auto but I dig the wireless charger feature this one has and the phone is right where I need it. I like your idea, might have to try it and see how it goes.

 

Mine was bouncing while just sitting at a light. It doesn't move now.

 

Got up early and drove 4 hours south
to @tech12volts shop to have some stuff done



sounds so much better.

 

Yeah that’s the only reason I went with a cover. I’m hesitant to take the wheel apart, and if I was going to dissemble I’d just track down some OEM black ones.

coverage with the covers is decent, but I haven’t stuck them down in place yet, only did a “dry fitting”. Might improve once the tape is remove and they are actually stuck down. I’ll keep you posted.

 

Those pieces are very easy to remove.

 

Yeah I agree. I got the blacked out symbol. Weird to even make a AJT logo version. Cant fathom many folks bought it. I like AJT cause it doesn’t say AJT

 

She got quick bath and camper getting ready for next week vacation trip.

 

Almost brings a tear to my eye

 

Truckslide XT-1200 installed solo. My knees will be so thankful! I guess my goal is to see how much crap I can bolt onto this truck to take the payload down to zero.

 

He got a cease and desist from Toyota for making the emblem.

 

Do the paint.

1/2 day job if you go real slow.

save yourself hundreds.

 

Does this use the standard bed mounting points or did you have to drill into the bed to mount?

 

The overlay is like $20-30. But I guess I can look back at the videos for taking the wheel apart. I initially planned on it so I could remove the emblem but then I bought an overlay.

 

UPS kindly dropped off some goodies from AJT and @memario1214

V3 shifter, black door handle overlays, and the climate knobs will complete my kit.

and the power of the sun in a 3” pod. Diode dynamics fog MAX

 

Just a personal preference, but the overlays stick up higher than the oem buttons.
It’s not a big deal but it didn’t look or feel factory.

SEM
Panels and what was a white AJT logo.
I’ve since blacked out the volume control as well.

 

I was lucky enough to live only 2 hours north in Warner Robins...you will be very happy with the setup.
