What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

16 year old me would have had a field day if plasti dip was around then lol

 

Installed my TVD glossy wheel decals this morning:

 

Looks good! They look like they were black from the factory! How was the process?

 

Not bad, not near as tedious as plasti-dipping badges in my open-air carport. I just hope it holds up well. If you do decide to get them, this stuff is the bee's knees:

Job well done.

 

I bought different wheels , but that's good info for anyone looking at the wheel vinyls.

 

looks good.. you sir have patience..

 

Got the Falkens on, same size as factory. Put in a few of the AJT Designs pieces from the blackout kit and got the key fob together. Will have tires for sale and I’m not a fan of the AJT door handles. Those will go too.

 

Wow! Those are the same size as factory? They change the look of the truck so much!

 

Yep. I didn’t notice any difference in ride quality either. I have them on other vehicles and they’re awesome.

 

I wonder if it is useful to mount an iPad in the truck. Don't know yet.

 

What kind of mount did you use? I use a surface pro for work and was looking into options for mounting in my truck.

 

From center of the roof, just in front of the brake light its 3 inches.

 

So far, so good. No shaking or weird noises.

 

Debadged it only to also pull off the paint in two spots.

Then proceeded to install my Falcon Shocks only to break a tie rod and get my truck towed to the dealer to unfawk my fawk up and install them.

Monday my post will look something like this.

to the dealer

 

Tablets or iPads are very useful in my opinion; I use mine for Waze, Torque Pro, some surfing when waiting for my bride while she’s chopping, and watching Truck Gang and @2020Platinum videos.

 

The evolution has been completed. I completed another mod and installed the auto locking tailgate. Naturally, I had to upgrade my keyfob to a V2 AJT designs.

 

Got this cleaned up with some effort. Details in the "Ask the Detailer" link below.

 

Looks great! How much did that vinyl kit cost? I looked on the TVD website and they are out of stock of the kit for my wheels...so it is not displaying a price.

 

Neat, what HU is this?! This is almost too much info

 

I use Offroam mount.

Thank you!

 

Well it has begun. Started on the rear passenger door. Don't think 4 rolls will be enough for what I want to cover. Didn't like that I had to cut a hole for that plastic piece on the door panel to fit. Has anyone trimmed that piece and just let it fly or cover it with wrap ? Doors is more solid for sure. Great stuff so far. Didn't install my new speakers yet since I want to wrap the truck 1st before installing anything. I did notice the speaker didn't like the wrap and wouldn't sit right on one corner. Hoping with the new pods I won't have that issue.

 

Nice work, turned out great!

 

Prinsu and light bar. Still need to wire up the light bar

 

is there a write up somewhere on how to do this mod ? I want to do it too

 

Added a tundra to my tundra.

 

With the exception of the rims, chrome delete finally complete! Also added the DD Stealth 42” light bar while the front end was torn apart, and holy crap, that thing is bright!

Only casualty during the install was the front right parking sensor, which I never use so had to order that, which I assume will be a PITA.

 

Here’s the write up I used: https://www.tundras.com/threads/installing-puddle-lights-on-factory-sr5-mirrors.44755/

@French Avocado mentioned later in this thread that he was referring to the mod being “easy” if you have factory puddle lights - it’s pretty involved if you have the normal SR5 mirrors.

 

If there’s anyone out there that has been looking at the Beech Lane tailgate step, either because you don’t want to spend the coin on a bumper step because you’re cheap like me, or because you’re an old lard ass like me, I’m your guinea pig. If you’ve been wondering if it’ll work with a SwingCase, no worries, heck, it even works if you have the bottle cap opener mod. I pretty much followed the instructions, except I placed nylon bushings between the mounting plate and the tailgate, and I used the tailgate lock access cover Torx screws to mount the strap, eliminating having to use two more of the self-tapping screws. I’ve been up and down the ladder a few times, and I would say it’s plenty sturdy enough for a 275-300# porker like me. I’m very happy right now. I’ll update how the powder coating and hardware hold up in about a year, if my old ass can remember!
