    I got them on Amazon! To be totally honest with you, fitment is hit or miss. Some parts are 100% whereas some is 75% where a tiny bit of the silver is still visible if you really look.

    might as well get the ss5 bar. The 18” doesn’t do much as it doesn’t line up great and is at a terrible location for a bar. Coming from experience.

    Will the bar fit inside the bumper At the bottom? I also heard they are coming out with the new 20” (March 2025)

    It will, and They are. Hopefully they fix their mounts.

    honestly I would love if the big bangers would fit in their ss5 mount. Now that is output.

    Ray’s new off-road wheels :)

    first in America to run them once they come.
    I do love the TEs, but man, I can think of 5 other tundras running them

    Metallic Orange caliper paint on, just to add some color and matching with the new wrap

    Like the plan besides the opt7’s. Personally think those light bars are tacky. But your truck obviously!

    what did you use to paint the brakes?

    I’ve used opt7 on my beater truck in the last, although I do agree a tad tacky, they are best bang for buck + used for the visibility in the snow (California has alot of dumb driver when it’s raining and snowing). Anything to make myself more visible beside the Orange

    the paint I used was duplicolor metal cast (you need to get their base coat as well, which is an extra step and can)

    Needed a phone mount that looks clean and “OEM”.

    found this on Amazon and it was worth every penny. It has an added satin black top trim over the screen as an added protection but also a really strong magnetic mount (it holds my iPhone 15 pro with no issue). You can adjust how high or low the phone to be as well

    Fitment is about 90%, there are some gaps on the corners. The middle comes with double sided tape but I just added it on top without using the tape since it stays on fairly sturdy
