2006 Double Cab Tundra

Looks great, what tint specs did you go with all they way around.

I need to get mine done, leaning on ceramic tints

 

@jerryallday It's the shade under limo, not sure the percentage.

 

@2006Tundra Every time I come back and check on your build, you inspire me more and more to commit insurance fraud. I just want to take a sand blaster to my truck, tell my insurance IDK how the hell it happened in North GA and then get a beautiful paint job, rims painted, etc.

 

@FatBuddy92 Have kids? you can give them a couple a keys hahaha
all seriousness, how's your paint? Any dents, scratches or chips in the paint? If you don't have any of those issues, I bet a good detail can brighten up your truck. I would definitely do a color correction and a polish at the minimum.

 

That looks fantastic. Do you like the ppf so far?

 

@2006Tundra mine is a one owner, garage kept, old man time capsule with only 50k miles on it when I bought last September. No dents, scratches or imperfections in the paint, just nothing beats a fresh paint job and getting rid of the SR5 chrome trim all with only having to pay your deductible.

One day, I would either like to Vinyl wrap or get a paint job with the new Lunar Rock color. But that is far away after my suspension overhaul is done and I get my Brute Force front bumper in September

 

I picked up my truck yesterday so I can't give you an opinion. I have friends that have it on their cars/trucks and they really like it. I just hope it does it's job and protect any rock chips or scratches.

 

What headlights did you go with link?

 

I bought some BX Built lights on a sale. If you're interested, wait for a holiday sale. They're pretty expensive but they have pretty good discount codes you can use. Down side, is their wait times, it's been about 14 weeks since I placed my order and I still haven't received them.

Edit - check out their IG. They're having a sale right now. 15% off use code 4THOFJULY

@2006Tundra. I like what you have done to your ride. Did the installer make the speaker box for those subwoofers, that fits in the storage compartment underneath rear seats?

 

Thanks. I bought the box off this website https://caraudiofactory.com/20042006-toyota-tundra-double-p-283.html and yes, it fits under the seat, in the storage compartment.

 

the nilight comes with a switch..it’s a nice kit. Installed on my 2021 last week I used 6 of them and wired it up

 

Oh my! That looks really nice!

 

Line-Xed the caps to my mirrors for $20 bucks! The black paint on chrome mirrors didn't hold up that well.

 

How was the bumper disassembly? Was it difficult? Just ordered the exact same light bar for my 06 and hoping to do the exact same thing that you did to your truck to mine.

 

Where's your build page!?

 

Lmao too funny. I should start one honestly but i have not done a complete restore like you have. Glad your out there doing what you have done. I can only imagine time and effort you have put into the built. Looking forward to the end result

 

@Lupe You don't need a full restore, you can start out with what you've done so far. Not many of us Salsa Pearl Red guys out there. I would like to see what you have done.

 

@2006Tundra
Sound like i will start a build thread soon

 

Just did my light bar install. Loving it. Thinking I may need to change the angle of the light bar itself but other than that I’m stoked. Fit great too. Thanks for the guide @2006Tundra

 

Oh nice! Have any pictures?

 

Sure! Let me take and post them real quick.

 

Looks great! Pretty easy, right?

 

It was really hard for me to figure out how to get the bumper off. But once I did that and was able to feed the wire into the cab I was stoked. It’s a great amount of light and I think it’s a good looking mod…mostly because it’s not easily seen by most theives.

 

After waiting for 9 months, I finally got my BX Built lights. A lot better than the stock housing with a H4 LED lamp.
BX does not use a H4 lamp, its an actual LED projector that uses a LED driver. Same set up as a HID kit but a LED version. The install was pretty straight forward, plug and play.

(Night time pics) It's hard to tell but its was pretty dark at night, these photos were taken at 5:31pm. My iPhone sucks up all the light at night. The 4th photo is the low beams and the 5th is with the hi beams. Not much of a difference. The last photo was taken while driving.

The lights look like they're pointing a little high but they're not blinding anyone. I had my wife drive towards me several times in a large parking lot just to make sure.

Side note, I did not request the TRD in the projector, it came that way. I wish it didn't since the truck isn't a TRD.

 

Looks super good. What’s the price ish if you care to share?

 

Not cheap, I paid $425 on a sale but BX has sales all the time. They have one right now. They're customer service is excellent.

Right off the bat I was straight drooling with the look of the truck... ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
