Medic's Transformer

I switched from a 2016 Tundra DC TRD in Super White to a 2014 Tundra Crewmax Limited with Tech package at the end of March.



I had a lot of up grades planned for my previous truck that I had not installed due to either life being busy or the parts were ordered but had not arrived yet.



1. One of the first mods was Salex OD organizers.
- ordered from Amazon


These organizers fit great and are much better design than the Toyota offered version. Should be a standard option on all trucks.

2. Installed under hood LED lights from MattGecko




Easy to install with great instructions and customer service.

3. I also ordered the bed LED kit as well.



4. Had a 30" single row light bar ordered for inside the hood bulge but after realizing how much cutting was involved, and the fact that cutting would open the hood up to salt/ debris etc , I decided to mount the light bar behind the grill.
- Light bar ordered from Amazon


5 & 6. I swapped out my limited grill with a stock SR5 grill that I changed the surround and the hood bulge to colour matched Super White.
- ordered the hood Bulge from dealership and found the grill surround on Kijiji

7. Light bar is being controlled by the Trigger system. Comes with 4 accessory plug ins, wireless remote and ability to control with the use of your cell phone.



So far this system works great and don't have to run any wires into the cab.

8. Had ordered a set of Spyders with LED bulbs for my last truck but decided to change rides before installing them.


- Spyders and LED bulbs were ordered from nolimitautomotivesolutions.com

9. While the headlights were out, decide to Plastic-dip the chrome bumpers as well.
- bought the Plasti-dip from dipyourwhip.com

10. Also changed the fog bulbs to LED to match the Spyders.



11. Also did the anytime Fog light mod during the lighting upgrades.
- instructions for this can be found in the lighting section

12. Re-installed the Hypertech Interceptor.

- found used from another Tundra owner in British Columbia

13. Received the SDHQ ABS sensor guards.

After damaging a sensor two years ago,these are cheap protection in comparison.

And yes, there as quick to install as everyone else has stated. About 15 minutes. 10 mm wrench/ socket (unless yours is missing) and a 7 mm Allen key.
- ordered direct from SDHQ

14. Rear TRD sway bar.

Installation was straight forward. I have noticed less body roll and more positive handling since the install but have not really tested it yet.
- ordered from my Local Dealership

15. Husky floor liners.
- ordered from 4wheelparts.com


16 & 17. Tires and Rims
- BFG AT KO2 in 275/60r20 ordered from local Canadian Tire store
- Fuel Vapor 20 x 9. +35mm offset


This by far is my favourite mod yet. Super happy with look of the rims. Decided on these for a couple of reasons. Offset is high to keep tire in and avoid excess stone chips (this truck is my daily driver). Second was hadn't seen any other trucks with them installed and third was they are rated against salt and calcium that we get in the winter.

18. Debadged all iForce, Limited, Tundra and 4x4 badges.

This mod was free except for a little fishing line, elbow grease and time.

19. Levelling suspension installed.
Front- Bilstein 6112 on second highest setting

- had the new spring painted TRD red
Back - Bilstein 5100

- ordered from 4wheelparts.com

20. AMP Research Bed step


This is nice feature for getting in and out with the tailgate down. Moves easily into position and quickly folds up near the bumper.
- found on Kijiji

21. Stubby Antenna
TC Bunny carbon fibre antenna

No noticeable loss of channels/ stations
- Amazon.ca

Having trouble uploading pictures tonight, will try again tomorrow. - Have since solved this problem.

 

Thats a weenie excuse for being lazy

 

Have tried for the past hour to get pictures to load with all the changes. Was working fine earlier.

 

Thanks,it is probably at my end. Router has been having issues. Text seems to be fine but pictures take more bandwidth. I am on satellite internet.

 

Just kidding. I'm looking forward to seeing the new ride.

 

Do you guys have point to point Internet up there? aka microwave internet?

 

Satellite based, Explornet

 

I have microwave tower shots. Pretty fast and no data cap. Does Ontario have it?

 

I wanna see....

 

Nice storm trooper color!!

 

Updated the build. Still have more pictures to upload. Also plan on including part numbers. All vendors are included as these are the best prices I found for Canadians

 

Great posts man!
I liked you already because you're from Ontario, then I saw that we both have the same socket set... well done sir, well done.

 

NICE TRUCK!!!...AND AWESOME MODS BRO !!!!

 

Nice pics and descriptions. Love the mods you've done so far. Looks great!!

 

Thanks

 

Thanks for the support.

 

Which bulbs did you put in t h e Spyders? Are they significantly more output?

 

Truck looks great. Less chrome the better

How did you damage you abs sensor...if u know??

 

I used XKGlow Fanless LEDs in both the headlights and fogs. As for the output, I didn't have the bulbs that came with the Spyders but I had read from numerous sources that the standard bulbs were less than optimal so I ordered upgrades at the same time. Hope this helps.

 

Awesome!! I'm on the fence for a crew after all the money i dumped into my current truck

 

To access the areas we deer hunt, we used old logging roads. Usually they are rough but we had a lot of rain which led to numerous mud holes. A large tree limb that was submerged broke the sensor on my truck.

 

CREW !!!...CREW...!!!.....CREW !!!...

 

WIFE....WIFE....WIFE!!!! Lol

 

More room for the family... tell the wife.

 

Trust me I've been there done that. I'm just gonna hold off for the 2020 and see what these bad boys will look like on the new revamp

 

@Medic do you recall the spyder bulb size I think I may go led and sell my DDM hid kit

 

LOL.....I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS...MARRIED TWICE..SINGLE NOW...
