What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

here's the setup I used https://caliraisedled.com/collectio...ndra-ditch-light-brackets?variant=33875277968
the switch I used is from air on board
here's the video for installation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V9lmPA6RBk

 

I tinted the third brake light to match the new Recons. I just did one coat, but I tried to even it out and it ended up pretty dark.

How do you like the Toyo at2s ?

 

I like them. They ride pretty smooth and have handled icy roads and dirt roads well. They have suited my needs and I would consider them next time around.

 

Love it

 

Sorry for being so late. Here's the complete retrofit pictures! Also, added a toolbox to hold all my crap. SCS wheels, 295/70/18 tires, and 3/1" leveling kit all coming up in the next few weeks hopefully. Now just gotta erase all that chrome!

 

Thanks for the info considering these as my next tires

 

I got my esp under seat storage installed. It was scary to cut into the carpet.

 

U mark it with soap stone?

 

So want! Looks great!

 

Who's going to kick you out? The kids?

 

Looks damn good! I want to finish mine up too....damn chrome

 

it was rhetorical and nobody's gonna kick me out! i am the ruler of my domain

 

Yes i know...was being sarcastic

 

I used a chalk marker. Worked real good.

 

So when you epoxy the projectors in place, you have the lights mounted in the truck? I had retros done but have another pair of headlights and I'm getting ready to retrofit 'em.

 

I did personally but it isn't completely necessary. It was easier for me that way but as long as you have somewhere you can mount the lights the exact same way every time then you wouldn't have to mount them in the truck. For example, when I had my Nissan Frontier and was first learning to retrofit a guy told me that he used some scrap 2x4's and made a small mount with holes drilled in the wood to bolt the light housing to, and just clamped the wood 'mount' in his vise so it couldn't move and then would bolt his light to that, mark his beam, and then do his retrofit, and then when he went to align the new beams he would mount it right back onto that piece of wood and align. That method would be easier for you if you only had a garage 20-25 feet long that didn't allow enough space for you to park your truck inside with the lights attached to mark and align the beams.

 

Thanks Zack, I get it.
Any idea why one of yours rotated? I'd like to avoid that if possible.

 

After you align them with steelstik you're supposed to tighten the nut on the back finger tight and then JB Kwik it in place. I tightened it finger tight and then used channel locks to tighten it a slight amount more. It worked perfectly for one, but if I had to guess I would say that that put tension on the projector and it rotated because either the steel-stik wasn't quite 100% cured, or it was cured and it rotated slightly the only direction it could move. My advice would be to just tighten it finger tight and then Kwik-Weld it in place, and not tighten it more like me haha. I almost certainly didn't need to anyway, I'm sure the Steel-stik and the Kwik-Weld are more than strong enough to hold it all. That drivers side gave me some problems. There was that, I scratched the lens putting it back in and had to buff it out, when I resealed it somehow there was a piece of permaseal stuck in the lens so I had to re-bake it and take that tiny pieces of it out, and re-seal it, my shroud arrived with a chip in it so I had to wait 3 days for a new one before I could finish. I would imagine if your light isn't jinxed like mine you should have no issues.

 

This is where your cuts off should be. As far as adjustments, on a factory headlight there is a white bolt on the back of the housing you turn to adjust up/down. I don't know what the Spyder's are like.

Where is your shop?

 

Thanks the @csuviper for recommendations I got a SwingCase for Xmas


I also installed some RCI Hi Lift Mounts

 

Does the swing case feel like its gonna hold up. Cant tell if the plastic is cheap or if it feels like a solid box. Would love that kind of design in aluminum .

 

Installed these projector fog housings. No bulbs yet but the halo running lights look great! I'll take a better picture in the daylight. They're bright enough at night that my phone camera can't distinguish the halo, so there's a close-up for that.

 

Installed V6-Tritons from VLEDs for the tail/brake lights

 

Pre-ordered these back in early November, finally got them!

 

Changed out the Black door handles and mirror caps for Chrome ones.

 

Kind of cheap but it holds myrecovery gear just fine

 

Installed the power pop & lock tailgate lock last Friday, fairly easy as I've done it on my past 2 trucks. the only pain in the butt is routing the wire to ths front. Other than that it works as advertised.
