    Hey Everyone! After years of wanting one, I finally pulled the trigger on a 2020 Calvary Blue Tundra! Hello
    From South Florida. I know the Calvary Blue can be polarizing color, but I’m pretty happy with her. Looking to add some black wheels and new tires. Any other recos for mods are welcome!

    Thanks! Love your white one! I wish my grill was all blue instead of the chrome, like yours is all white.

    Thank you.
    You could always swap the chrome parts for painted parts if you prefer that look, personally I don't care for the chrome but some like it.

    I do wanted to get the painted part around the grill. I just started my research on where to go, how to find the right parts. Any recommendations on who could help me with the swap?

    It's fantastic here. We're just outside of Ft. Lauderdale in the suburbs. Ft. Meyers is amazing.

    Thanks. So you went with more chrome over the painted parts? I'm going to replace the chrome "tundra" "SR5" and "5.7 V8" emblems with all black ones. Not gonna go overboard with it, just want to get some black rims, tires, and I'd like to replace the chrome around the grill with all blue paint, but not sure where to go for that.

    I have a good friend in North Port and he loves it there. Your steps are made by Iron Cross, I have the Iron Cross Patriot which is the same thing you have. Made in the states very good quality. Enjoy the truck! Look at JewsNbrews build! Same blue!

    Thanks man! I really like it. That's amazing you can tell what kind they are. The previous owner added the TRD off road package, and the SR5 Upgrade package, and apparently the steps. I'm really with the whole thing - just want to go all blue around the grill, add the TRD Pro Grill and swap out the rims and tires. And hopefully you make it to FL soon!

    I don't recall seeing that color available from Toyota to buy already color matched parts like the grill so you'll want to go to either go to a local paint shop or maybe see if you can find a vinyl color that will match. I've also heard of people with White getting parts powder coated.

    Fortunately for me, my truck is a TRD Sport so it already came with the color matched bits.

    Blue with Black accents will look really nice though.

    I'm sure others that have done this will chime in and give some better tips.

    Welcome and nice truck. One of the staffers has a Cavalry Blue that is pretty bad ass. Check his out….

    THAT IS BAD ASS, man. Is that Calvary blue? Yours looks brighter than mine, but maybe it's the pictures. Super cool. So how did you get the all blue around the grill? I want to replace the chrome with all blue, and then get the Pro grill.

    Thank you!
    Yes it is cavalry blue, and it’s amazing how different it can look in critical lighting or from one photo to another.

    I bought the color match stuff from TRDshop.com they had the best price when I was looking, and they shipped super fast.

    Awesome - thanks! And yes it really is a beautiful color and you don’t see Calvary Blue very often which I think is even cooler.

    Great! Is this what you bought for the color match parts? https://trdshop.carlocktoyotaoftupelo.com/p-trd-pro-grille-kit-18-current-tundra-tundragrillekit19

    It looks like they sell the hood bulge as a standalone part (color matched), but how you get the U-shaped piece that goes along the bottom and the sides of the grill? The rep told me toyota doesn't sell a standalone u-shaped piece, instead you have to buy an entire TRD Pro grille kit like this: https://www.sparksparts.com/p-2019-tundra-trd-pro-grille-531010c070

    Then when the kit arrives, I would just have to decide if I want the pro grille or the stock grille with the traditional logo (like yours).
