    Thanks! Painting the inside allowed the brake light lens to remain glossy.

    What are the specs on your setup? Is that a ordered box or custom? Im thinking of doing something like that to use some of that wasted space behind my seat.

    It's from Tech 12 volt or James Randy Taylor on FB he is on the Tundra crew page. He also does alot of raffles. I'm unsure of the specs on my box but it was tight and I had to do away with my jack. (cant use it anyway) The box is ported and my kit came with everything to install. I got 4 tweeters 4 6x8's with mounting hardware, amp bracket mounts under passenger seat, box amp and two 10's. No wire cutting plug and play but it took me about 10 hours to install my self but I saved myself about 1000 dollars.

    Dang sucks! The tow/haul and parking switches should be opposite. Parking only disabled till next start up. Tow/haul mode, just turn it on and rip the knob off!!:burnrubber::bananadance:

    Is that on the right side of the steering wheel? Have any button blanks there? Do you have a trailer brake controller?
    Awesome photography!
    Don't feel bad, I had something similar happen but mine is just cracked a little. Got hit in a parking lot somewhere...

    I debated on getting a different bumper, but I might put my stock steel chrome ends back on (I put colormatched plastic ends on) with the new end covers whenever those come out.

    My hit and run deductible is 500. Since I paid cash for the truck, insurance is willing to cash me out for the difference (IE I pay deductible and they give me the cash for whatever the body shop quotes)...

    If the shop quotes 1500 or more, I'll cash out and get a bumper. If sub 1k, I'll fix it myself.

    What all is available on the monitor readout? I might be interested in it as I see it lets you look at trans temps etc. I wouldn't necessarily want it to change the tuning but more for info. Unless there's another product out there that can do that?

    Nothing yet, but headed that way!!!!
    Thanks, I think I will take off the 5.7 but I kind of like the Tundra....Next I want to level the front with a 2.4" ready lift and then put 33" on the same rims. I don't want big and crazy, just want it to look more like a truck...

    Another option is Rigid 50481 in OEM TRD Pro square bezels. It’s honestly like another set of low beams, and a wider light pattern, one of my fave mods. We have a member making the brackets ($18) https://www.tundras.com/threads/diy-rigid-trd-pro-fog-lights-brackets.37902/

    I might do that. Problem is my side cap and my center piece are damaged. so to make it look proper might be a decent amount of coin. Not a big deal, since my deductible got reduced to 300, but I'd had to have it happen again vs. going something to protect the truck.

    Didn’t realize your center piece was damaged too, I was thinking getting a new R bumper end and match powder coat. There’s some really cool aftermarket bumpers too, lots of options. Bright side is you’re getting something new either way!

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Finally finished installing another amp under the passenger seat replacing the factory amp and replaced all door speakers and tweeters with Focal products from Crutchfield. Sounds amazing! Loud and clean as hell! Oh, we had to install an audio control LC7I as well. Now I can hear my mids and highs to go with the twelves I have behind the rear seat.
