What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

yeah, but if he followed the link from the notification email, it wouldn't.

 

Just ordered Meso dome and map lights as well!

 

I am on the west side near Bellevue!

 

Nice. I’m in Arrington if you know where the vineyards are? Otherwise it’s basically Franklin

 

I used 3M headlight restore to great success on my 06 after I did basically what you just did. Since the UV coating is now buffed off, it'll go yellow a lot quicker - about three times a year. That 3M on a shop rag put it back to perfect in 15 seconds, and the $10 bottle should last you a few years.

The true way to correct the lenses is to wet sand and clearcoat. It will last alot longer.

 

This looks awesome! A worthy replacement.

I guess I’m the only one around here who actually likes the OEM shifter…

 

I love mine, but it's leather and (fake) walnut burl.

 

Anyone have any ideas for getting rid of the chrome on these running boards? These came from the factory, and I actually really like them. They are low profile and tucked up nice and close to the truck, and they’re big and slip resistant. Plus they have metal brackets instead of cheap plastic ones. I’d like to avoid paying for new ones since I already have ones I like, but I kinda wish they weren’t chrome. Do you think that bed liner in a can would adhere to the chrome?

 

I guess I didn't know about MacGuire's back then. They have a clear coat product that says it'll keep them clear for a year.

I've been lazy, but I have it in mind to get some clear vinyl for my headlights. At worst it could keep a bunch of tiny scratches from ruining the UV protection.

 

Had that here the other day as well!

 

the freezing rain knocked out power to many homes in our area

Big thanks to Hydro for all their hard work and efforts in restoring power to all of us

 

What about wrapping them?

 

It wouldn't stick unless you prep it properly. Your best bet honestly is have them Line-X'ed.

 

Just ordered a set. Thank you both for your posts!

 

Also just ordered a set of the Meso Customs map and dome lights

 

Took the old lady out to Otay Truck Trail!

 

Happy to help you spend your hard earned $$$$

 

I have this as well and really like it my only complaint about it is that it gets really got during the summer.

 

Funny you say that. It’s was in the 20’s when I got up and the shifter was COLD! I guess thats as good a reason to get a remote starter.

 

Stoked!

 

Bed liner will not work on chrome for long, it relays on mechanical adhesion. I guess you cold grind them but that’s a lot of work. I have tested por15 on stainless which is part chrome. And it holds up amazingly well in the Pacific Northwest wet climate. I would do a test dot and se how it does. Just a thought for a inexpensive solution.

 

Same!

 

Today I wrapped it.

 

I have those same running boards, I like the size and profile of them too. They are stainless steel, they were also made in black. I happen to like them in stainless on my black truck. Powdercoat will adhere to stainless so you could disassemble them and have them powdercoated any color you want.

 

For anyone who has done the MESO customs map lights, the install video shows how to remove the entire overhead console. Can these be done without actually removing it?

 

Love it!

 

And really cold in the winter! It's 13 degrees this morning and the shifter seems like it's -50. I usually rested my hand on the leather TRD shifter, won't be doing that with this one until is warms.
