    2022 MGM Tundra Limited DC
    Putting a quick build thread together from arrival at dealership to where it stands today. When the 2022 was revealed, I really wanted a TRD Sport but then when I looked at the trim breakdown, I really wanted some of the additions that the Limited offered. There was a Limited allocated at my local dealer in MGM with Boulder interior and pretty much fully loaded DC, so I went for it, and I am absolutely glad I did. I'll keep updating as things progress but as of putting this together, it's close to where I want it!

    Mods are as follows:
    Lift: Westcott Designs Level/Lift Kit 3"/1"
    Wheels: 285/65/20 Cooper AT3 XLT, Mayhem Rampage 20"x9"
    Performance: Carven TR Performance Muffler, TRD Air Filters, JB4 Beta Tuner, Pedal Commander
    OEM: Predator Tube Step Bars, Door Edge Guards, Bed Mat, Dash Cam, All-Weather mats
    Tufskinz: Tailgate/Front Grill/Front Fog Surround Inserts
    Safety/Protection: Talon's Cat Con Plate, Extang Trifecta 2.0
    Cosmetic/Color Match: TRD Off-Road Grill Sub Assembly, MGM Grill Surround/Handles/Rear Bumper
    Interior: OCDPlug Matte Finish 14" Screen Protector, Carbon-wrapped Shifter Surround/Door Panels

    A bit of a chronological breakdown of delivery to now .. took delivery on 03/11/22, and first mods were debadging/Predator Step swap:

    Interior mod to add Carbon Fiber vinyl wrap to cover piano black parts:

    Parked next to my old 2014 SR5 that I sold to a co-worker, so had to get a couple of glamour shots!:

    Added the JB4 Tuner and Carven TR Muffler:

    Color-Matched rear bumper, door handles, and grill surround. Chrome handles were disassembled and then along with bumper panels were scuffed and then primed with self-etching primer and the grill surround was just a primer/sealer. From there, sanded smooth and then 3 coats of color matched MGM (Toyota 1G3) and 3 coats or SprayMax 2K clear:

    Color Match parts installed along with TRD Off-Road grill and custom designed/3D printed camera mount (several iterations to get final print):

    I noticed you put in a Pedal Commander. What's been your experience with it on this truck?
    From what I see in other's posts, most seem to like it.

    I can't complain. It is a very noticeable decrease in lag and just seems to work much better with the truck. I run City mode on 0. Sport mode for the PC gets a little touchy haha

    Love it!. What company did you end up using to color match the paint for the trim pieces? Did you end up going through an online vendor that paint matches for rattle cans? how many cans of paint and clear did you end up using? Thanks homie!

    So I went with a local auto body supply shop that mixes their own paint and purchased that. However, I only bought 1 12oz. can of aerosol and realized this wasn't going to be enough (on a Sunday none the less). The local auto zone had Dupli-Color BTY1619 which is the Toyota MGM color match. I'll tell you that I couldn't tell the different between the match of the two. I've also used Automotive Touch-Up (I think is the name online) with good results. For paint, I ended up using 1 12oz. can and 2 of the 8oz. Dupli-color cans. I also used two cans of Spray-Max clear.

    Thanks fellow MGM Masshole!!

    Awesome! thanks for the reply. I'm debating tackling the grill surround myself.. worst case scenario I wrap it or just pay someone to do it. Thanks!

    That was my thought also. And when it came out as good as it did, I said hell with it and left it. Just need to ceramic coat the parts I painted and I'll be ready for the Northeast winter!

    Was the westcott a direct bolt on I assume? I just picked up a 23 trd sport and it sits low. Wondering if I could pick one up.

    You do have to compress the front coil springs to install the lower spring perch, but other than that it's bolt on. You can get them for the TRD Sport.

    They're the original chrome handle covers that I removed and painted. They are not the typical eBay stick on ones.
