Welcome from NC!

 

Stereo system going in tomarrow.

 

Keeping head unit.

 

Door speakers bought from crutchfield. Sub and everything else from sonic electronics the best prices. Door speakers were the same price at crutchfield as sonic but you got mounting brackets free at crutcfield.

 

MGM...

 

lift and rims and tires all bought and installed at les schwab. They matched prices on rims 249 a piece not tires tires 450 a piece lift kit 650. otd with everything 3700. could of got it cheaper on tires and lift but the warrinty was worth it. Plus free rotation flat repair and re tork the lift for free.

 

Now the ugly part. Since I went with a almost 35 inch tire I had to cut. It's going into a welder to clean up and reinforce. It was this or bigger lift a lot more money or down a tire size witch was not going to happen looks to good.

 

Only had to cut driver side passenger side was close but good

 

Just did mine about 3 weeks ago also

 

Tires stick out this far with -12 off set rims.

 

Dealer installed trd duel exhaust cold air intake spray on bed liner. Black badges, they wanted 80 bucks a pieces for the sr5 logo special order so had them just remove them. optional equipment packages on sticker EE entune premium audio not the jbl cant get it on the sr5 ( by the way it sucks except the head unit) 525.00, ds deck rail system 125, OF trd off road package 2810, SP sr5 upgrade package 1220, SZ convenience package 970. 2T all weather floor liners and door sill 219. So sticker was 46,734.00 I went through Costco auto program that shaved 2000 grand off sticker then it was time to play dealer against dealer. Had 3 dealers competing and this was all over the phone don't negotiate at the dealers. Starting price was from the Costco discount, So finally after a couple of hrs on the phone not in a office fuck that. I got it down to 42,000. Not including the bed liner exhaust or intake or black badging that was 2000. So otd tax lic and all that other crap 49,000. Now the best part 0.9 fin for 5 years. 1200 in interest over 5 years on 49,000. The sales guy asked if I wanted to put anything down YEA right 0 down. Then they tried to get my 2009 4dr Tacoma beautiful 3 inch lift 33 toyo rt tires only 94000 miles mgm color. They offered 17000 no thank you. The next day put it on craigslist for 20000 was sold in 3 hrs for 19500. So more to come on the tundra next is color match grill and bumper caps and low profile hard folding tonneua cover.

 

Update had a welder brace and clean up were I had to cut because tires rubbing. 100 bucks. Also had the speakers and sub installed kept head unit. Sounds amazing the stock speakers were a joke. The magnets were less than half the size of the kickers I put in. And sound waaaay better.

 

I just installed today. Took about 2 hrs not hard. Back flip mx 4. All I have left is color match the chrome. I will post details of everything. Including cost of each mod. And were I purchased. So far under 5000.

 

I'm in total aww, great job!

 

Before everything. The day I picked it up.

 

Dude...OMFG!!! Bad-ass and looks tough as hell. Awesome job.

 

The list of what I have done and price and were I bought.

Lift and tires, Level kit. 3700.00 Les shcwab tire center.
Back flip mx4, 860.00 Realtruck.com
Neopren seat covers front only. 200.00 Costco cover king brand.
Window tint 200.00 Local tint shop
Outside low profile window visors. 80.00 Realtruck.com
Husky All liner floor mats front and back. 200.00 Realtruck.com
Stereo system 500.00 Bought door speaker from crutcfield. The rest from sonic electronic. I installed
Total 5540.00.

With real truck you can negotiate. But you need to call and have a big order. The backflip and window visors and floor liners I ordered all at once and got 20% off. But you Have to ask and tell the sales person you will pay right now. And if they say no hang up and call back until you get a discount. Had to do this. ( they work on a commission base salary) And if you military or veteran they offer a discount. No ID required just say you are.

 

All this done before my first car payment witch is due Sunday. Good thing for credit cards.

 

Ok yea more stuff. So 12 volt solutions remote start. 323.50 with military discount. Rockford fosgate 8 inch powered sub this is going under driver seat. 189.99 sonic electronix. The 12 inch I put behind the 2nd row seat sounds good but since the cab is so big needed some more bass up front. This madness will end some day.

 

what lift do you have ? 3/1 or 3/2 leveling kit?

 

Rough country level kit 2 and a half front 1 and a half rear. Read through all my post and what I had to do to fit my tires. beware. But came out great. Would not change a thing

 

Thanks. I put a 3/1.5 in mine

 

Pics of Coverkings please.

 

Sharp looking truck

 

cover king neoprene seat covers. These are the best seat covers I have ever had. I had them on my 2009 tacoma for 9 years they still looked new. Just put them in the wash machine and air dry. The only thing they are a pain in the ass to put on and take off but we'll worth it. It takes 2 people to really good them on nice and tight. Perfect fit. Buy from costco on line. Or if ur not a costco member. Buy from realtruck.com. Buy the cover king ones. Don't go cheap well worth the price and quality.

 

Good deal. Thanks for the pics.

 

Just bought a 18 Tundra and Im looking at Seat covers. Do you feel like your going to slide around on the Cover kings?
