    Thanks for the thread :thumbsup:. Just started paying attention to my Tundra. There are basic mods I need first (dual battery, bed slide). Then, I'm not backing down from chrome. I have the white, double cab similar to notachickmagnet and 15whtrd. It's helpful to see what others have done.

    So far, leaning toward the XD811 Rockstar for wheels. We'll see if anything else pops up. Maybe with a 3" lift and some large tires.

    Nice. How’s the black done? Wouldn’t mind doing this to mine. I think the lights I bought off that site were a rip off haha

    Glad to know they are still there. We've only made some day trips, nothing overnight in a while, hard to explore, eat drink and be marry and drive 3 hours back.

    Yeah, I own the Chrome. I would also like to point out that, not only do I have Chrome, but I also have mixed it with the black wheels and steps. [I know, right: shock, horror, outrage.] I'm going to put a black diamondback tonneau cover on it, as well.

    Here's the thing with these Tundras: you can do it any way you like.

    P.S. My favorite Tundra look is probably the silver with the all Chrome accents. [I just threw the gun in for good measure.]

    Huge thank you to @395 Runner for sending his Chrome handles and mirrors!! @redryder, I sent you a PM if you’re still interested in the black SR5 handles and caps that came off mine... all in the name of paying it forward!

    Here are the ‘before and after’ shots!!

    Mine still has all the chrome.

    ...admittedly, I want to color match the grill and bulge...

    I guess I embraced the chrome indirectly! Glad they could go to a good home. Looks good on your rig.

    I have always enjoyed chrome I have a platinum granted there is less chrome on them given the bumpers are color matched. If I ever come across an nice set of chrome wheels I will most likely make the switch to chrome and match the side view mirrors and handles.
