1UPPER’s 17 CM SC Platinum Custom Build

I ordered my trac bars from Pro Comp. They only have one option for tract bars. The mounts and all the hardware come with the kit. I don’t remember model numbers for it.

 

@dirtydeeds

My Dirty Deeds full 3” mid pipes arrived today! Truck is already at the shop getting new tires. So my new mid pipes will be installed tomorrow. The work looks great! Thanks Keith!

 

Thanks...could you snap me a pic of where they mount to the frame? When you have a chance?

Np at all, appreciate it!

I just saw you over by 4 wheel parts! Pictures do not do it justice, That truck is definitely wayyyyy cooler in person. My jaw DROPPED. Sick ride man

 

Thank you bro! Yup my new tires just got installed.

 

Decided to change my Weathtech front mats out for some husky mats. When I bought them the place that sold them to me told me the front mats didn’t have the clips since weathertech had a patent design. I was very happy to see that he was wrong and Husky mats have the clips for the driver and even a clip for the passenger mat. Here are some side by side comparison photos. The husky mats do have spikes on the back side of the mats which makes them stay more secure. The weathertech passenger side mat does not have a clip to keep is secured like husky does. The weather tech mats do have a slightly taller edge towards the engine bay side. The huskys have a good 2-3” more coverage close to the seat mounts. This is very nice because debri would fall between this gap with the weathertech mats. The weathertech are made of a hard plastic material and the husky mats have more of a rubber plastic feel to them. I’m happy with the husky mats over the weathertech.

Paseenger backside view. Husky mat has spikes on backside and a clip to hold the mat secure.


The clip for passenger side is very handy!weathertech doesn’t offer a clip on the passenger side.



Driver side mats comparison pics.


Husky driver mat. There is more support on the area near the gas pedal.

Tomorrow I’ll be dropping my stock mid pipes and installing my dirty deeds 3” mid pipes. I’ll post some comparison pics of the pipes side by side.

 

thanks for the detailed pics of the mats. right now i have the toyota all weather mats and need to upgrade to something better. looks like husky it is

 

I’ve had weathertech on my last three tundras. Glad I switched to husky mats!

 

Are you gonna customize the logo on those husky mats? Achuop is your guy here.

 

I'm shocked how much coverage you're getting with the huskys. I have WT that were gifted by a friend so it's hard to justify changing them, but now its harder not to change them

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t know if I will customize them.

 

My 3” mid pipe swap begins.

 

I got my Bully Dog BDX programmer in today.

 

It'll be interesting to see what you think of it. I'm running the performance tune and 91 octane.

 

I was told to run the following on my tuner.
Tune trail
Speed unlimited
Shifting performance
Throttle performance.

 

Thanks. Maybe I'll switch mine up.

 

I’ll try and set mine up tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it does afterwords.

 

Will this work on a first gen? And all i have is a full exhaust and soon a CAI.

 

I’m not sure. I’ve never looked into that.

 

1UPPER - Are you still running the CORSA Exhaust system with the DD mid pipes??

Awesome truck!!

 

Thank you for compliment! I have the DD mid pipes but I haven’t had a chance to install them yet. We keep getting rain every day. Yes I have the corsa exhaust and JBA long tube headers.

 

I had to pull out another truck today on one of my jobsites. All this rain we’ve been getting makes the ground very muddy.

 

@1UPPER, Nice rig, man. Your attention to detail is beyond reproach! I just recently picked up my 16 Platinum. First on my mod to do list are headlights and taillights. I am getting the 19 TRD PRO Headlights. Already have the harness from iHacker. My question to you is, what are your thoughts about your Recon tails? Any issues with them at all? Are they nice and bright through the smoked lenses? Are the reverse lights really bright? I value your input as you OBVIOUSLY take your time to research the parts on your truck.

Keep up the great work!

 

Thank for the kind words! I’ve really enjoyed the Recon smoked leds. I do always have my accessory lights turned on while driving. According to Texas DPS laws I have to have red on the rear of the truck. So I prefer to keep the accessory lights on to avoid having any issues of the smoked lights being just black. The reverse lights are fine but I’m using the opt7 tailgate bar and recon led third brake light for additional reverse lighting. There are other reverse lighting options for additional lighting if you need more light. There is a very handy dual food light mount that goes around the rear hitch for additional reverse lighting. It’s very handy for hooking up a trailer at night or launching a boat.

 

I’ve been applying this new mud and gravel detailer for the last few weeks. Hopefully the rain will take a break soon.
