What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

You would not like it. (I’m trying to keep people away.)

 

Finally, all the chrome is gone. The MCAuto grille is in there, shop did a really good job at making it work. But, I’m still iffy on keeping it. I’ll probably still get a grille from Toyota and switch out the inserts. Shop did awesome on the paint match too! At least I think so.

I will say that there’s zero issues with the sensor so far. Drove it about 30 miles after picking it up, in a lot of traffic, and the radar cruise worked as it always has.

I’m happy overall, just wish the grille was a little better quality. With that being said, you get what you pay for, so my complaining ends there.

@Tundra234 I didn’t get a picture of the issues since they had it all mounted up, sorry.

 

I guarantee the DiamondBack won't pull to the right.

 

No worries. It looks good from what I see in the picture. It turned out alot better than the grill saga that I went through.

 

My most frequent mod! *insert buschhhhhhhhhh gif*

 

Man that sucks, I hope they take care of you. My dad literally stayed next to the guys as they mounted new tires on his truck earlier today at the local Discount Tire! Now it all makes sense. LOL

 

That would chap me as well. Hope they make it right.

 

Final invoice from body shop today…..$24,476!

 

If I were the other guy's ins company his ass would be dropped

 

Thanks. I remember seeing something about your issues a little while ago I think. Fitment issues with an aftermarket grille right? You got it all worked out didn’t you?

 

Started drafting up an anti-glare eye saver.

 

I’m in for one of those is you start selling some! That piece is brutal when the sun hits it.

 

Yeah it's worked.out.....right back into the box and up for sale. I went back to the Sport honeycomb grill.

 

You bet. I'll do a test cut tomorrow.

 

Pulled mine and spray painted it matte black.

 

You painted the Gloss or the silver surround? This piece will go here....just so noone is confused.

 

Oooooh a vinyl overlay? I did not paint that black glossy plastic. Thanks for clarifying.

 

Yep.....I think it will turn out pretty good. Even with a tinted windshield the sun is brutal when it hits that spot.

 

You already know where to send mine.....

 

I went this route

 

Rockymount Droptops for the for the bed. Took the bike out for a quick gravel ride after

 

They're probably gonna total it.

 

I painted the black glossy part on mine, along with the chrome trim around the shifter path - I left the gear letters unpainted by taping them off. Just left them in case my wife was driving. Been a few years and still looks the same.

 

They would have already if they were…
60-75% of value seems to be the number these days to total out, unless serious frame damage or airbags deploy.
My wife’s Forester was $34k new, and at 6 months old someone pulled out in front of her. $18k in damage and insurance didn’t blink an eye over it. Air bags didn’t pop because it was sweeping damage across the front instead of direct impact, but literally everything forward of the engine was replaced or rebuilt.

 

Finished my system today.

• Kenwood DMX1057XR head unit
• Focal Flax 3 way front stage (had to buy the tweeter pillars to add)
• Focal Flax Evo coax for rears
• Fox Acoustics two 10” sub box behind seat
• (2) JL Audio 10TW3 8 ohm subs
• JL Audio VXi800 8ch active DSP amp for main speakers (6 front channels/2 rear)
• JL Audio RD500/1 amp for subs. (Probably less power than i should feed them but should work now. Already had the amp)

I did subs myself, but all of what I did was reconfigured for the speakers and amp, full sound treatment, and then custom tuned by former JL Audio tuner.

 

Pulled the nfab side steps off her. Now a set a sliders just got bumped to the top of the list

 

A

Are they manual or powered? How do you like them so far?

 

So what’s the verdict? Do you still have the factory HU? Looking at doing speaker mods like this and getting away from the cardboard crap.

 

Did the same, I used a matte clear.
