    Me and the wife joined the Toyota family in august and I’m in love so far. I’ve only done some minor mods so far but have some more things I plan to get around to sooner than later!

    Mods So far:
    5% Tint
    Weather tech mats
    Tundra tailgate insert
    Black oem 4x4 badge & exhaust tip
    Color matched door handles and mirror caps
    Stubby antenna
    Ceramic coated
    TRD shift knob
    Go rhino rb20 bed liner version



    *The day I brought the truck home.
    A96EBE86-930A-4AFC-9587-34B76E458CE9.jpg

    *That same week of course I had to go get the windows tinted. I originally put 20% all around and wasn’t happy with the darkness, I usually go with 20% on my vehicles and I’m usually happy but that wasn’t the case this time so I went back had the 20% taken off and redone with 5%.
    654B3BCD-3713-447B-828C-665799651DC5.jpg

    Then I ordered color matched mirrors and door handles, oem black exhaust tip, black 4x4 badge, and black tundra tailgate insert all from @Roman. Can’t say enough good things about that guy! Super helpful!
    *before and after of color matched mirror caps and handles
    0FEAD110-14FC-4074-B1E8-5A46B8F95AF6.jpg
    After and before the tailgate insert and badge swap

    before and after the exhaust tip swap... Finally ! No more chrome on the outside of the truck!

    I got some weather tech mats to protect the carpet from wear and tear

    Also ditched the 4ft antenna for a short stubby antenna. Reception is just as good for anyone thinking about changing theirs.

    Just installed my Go Rhino RB20’s and love them. Like many other i also liked them better installed with the skinny end up front.

    It’s like Christmas, packages are starting to come in. Today my tires, wheel spacers, 5160’s, and billet reservoir mounts came in. If all goes well Monday I’ll be getting everything on! What will show up tomorrow? :)

    I’ve been looking at the same tires and similar set up with the toytec Boss. However the Boss kit is currently backordered and I’m getting anxious to get something done. May look at this kit.
    Please post pics and feedback on the tire fit when completed !

    Looking good. Definitely following along. Just got a 20 MGM Platinum and thinking along the same lines as to what you are doing. Debadged and ordered the paint matched mirror covers. Couldn’t stomach the door handles yet but I hate the chrome.

    I’m very interested to see how the stock rims look with the spacers, lift, and tires. I’m wanting to do the same thing. Probably will powder coat the rims and use them instead of buying new rims.

    One question I am struggling to figure out how to answer is will the truck fit in my garage after the lift and tires. Since I have the ‘20 I have the fin antenna on top. It’s probably about 3-4” from the garage door when I pull in. I need to know how much this setup is going to raise the fin. I know it’s about 3” in front, 1” in back....what does that come out to at the fin? Any ideas or can you help me measure it as you get all this installed?

    every truck will probably be slightly different, however I can measure to the top of the truck to give you an idea and you can add on the height of the fin to that measurement once I’m done. It sounds like it’s gonna be super close haha!

    congrats on the 20! I know what you mean about the handles it’s crazy dumping money in it as soon as you buy something like this, I can say after this I don’t think my wife is gonna be too happy about anything else for awhile!

    Nice truck.
    I'm looking to do the same inexpensive mods...
    What brand of mirror and door handle caps did you go with?

    Work schedule has been crazy so I haven’t had much time to update, I did start installing the lift it was just about done when I realized some things weren’t right. Apparently the c clips that are on the top two leafs from the factory are spaced closer together than on previous year tundras (from what I’m told) so the AAL packs I was installing would end up resting on the rivets under the clip. I talked to darren at boss 4x4 and he gave me two options either he sends me a slightly shorter top leaf for the AAL pack so it will clear the rivet, or cut the clips and drill the river off. I opted to wait for a shorter leaf. I’m also waiting on longer u-bolts. Once these two things arrive I’ll be good to go.

    This lift has been a learning experience, i wouldn’t want to do it in a driveway, however next time now that I’ve been through this once now. The lift would be a breeze.

    Just got it done today, haven’t had time to mess with it due to work plus was waiting on new leaf springs to be made since the ones they sent ended up being too long and hit the clip/rivet that’s on the stock top 2or3 leafs. Will take better pics tomorrow during the daylight. It’s dark and raining right now but glad it’s done.

    RB20s are on my list, any chance for pictures with the door open showing how far they stick out?
