Cool cheap mod for rainy Saturday?

What are some cool cheap mods I could do on this rainy Saturday?

 

Plasti dip the cup holder trim and gear shift trim?

 

That’s a good idea! But I don’t know what color I’d do. Black? Cement like my exterior?

 

I would paint them like @jewsNbrews .

While that looks great, how well will it hold up? I don’t want it to look shabby!

 

I think he mentioned that he would've clear coated it as well, which I dont think he did originally. You can get clear coat in a can as well... I think it will hold up. If not you can always redo it... It looks way better than how it comes stock in my opinion.

 

Alright, I think I'm sold! I'll report back with the finished product when I can.

 

Holding up great so far. A little fading from cleaning. I told @Faht Nocker he needs to add a clear coat for protection as I have yet to do that.

 

Got sill protectors for your doors? If not can make some cool home made ones from skateboard grit paper. Works great.

Got it from this thread. Lots of cool DIY ideas.

This is really what I needed... a whole thread devoted to this stuff, haha! Great.

 

Stock Air Box Mod, reroute your diff and transfer breather lines

 

That might as well be Mandarin Chinese my dude.

How does one accomplish these tasks, and what are the benefits?

 

It's in that DIY thread I linked. Nice write up on what you need and how to do it.

Differential breather>>>差动呼吸 or >>>>chà dòng hū xī

 

Haha. I know what the differential is, just didn't know that it needed a breather, or why.

 

Working on getting interior trim painted...

 

I was going to do some work on my Tundra today but the weather does suck. I got a new Kalorik smart hot air fryer so I'm going to mess around with that.

 

My dad WILL NOT stop talking about his air fryer. But he's dramatic. Let me know how it goes.

 

Will do

 

That really explained it all! Thanks and ni hao mi

 

that's what I want to do next or wrapping it with carbon fiber. Was it hard to get the trim pieces off without busting the clips ?

 

I was nervous as hell. haha I got the cup holder one out easy - the trim around the knob was tougher. I had to tape it up because those two pieces are plastic welded together apparently.

Basically, I was being a little too gentle and it wasn't coming out so I got nervous and worked on the cup holder trim... then I nutted up and got the big piece off.

 

SABM, i relocated the ground wires to the left of the airbox. I Cut a 3" hole into the fender wall and airbox and connected the 2 with a pvc pipe and sealed. Draws more airflow.

 

Yep, that sounds like something I'll put in the category of "This Will End Up Costing Me In The Future"

 

Alright. Got it done. 5 coats of paint and 3 full coats of polycrylic.



I don’t think this is going to be very durable. I literally touched it with my fingernail and it took paint off. I’m hoping that it hardens over the next week or so.

 

Looks great! Patience danielsan

 

While everything was apart, I would have suggested rewiring your console power port direct to the battery rather than to the ignition.
Cheap and easy.

 

Is that easy to do? I can pull it back off once I let it dry for a week or so.

 

certainly looks good
