Must have CHEAP MODS

I did these because the tops of my headlights were hazy, but I like the result even if they hadn’t been.

WD40 also works VERY well to get rid of the glue residue

 

Here is another one... Monstaliner on bumper caps. WAY more durable than vinyl wrap.

1. Rough sand the chrome caps
2. Tape off the fog lights
3. Bulldog Adhesion Promoter
4. Monstaliner (2 coats)

 

I just typed it in the googles and up popped a video on a steering wheel install. I used the video to guide me the whole time. It was super easy and I have zero mechanical ability. Bought a steering wheel puller but didn't need it. The wheel I got of car-parts.com

 

Chrome exhaust tip!!!

 

Led lights for the interior and exterior. I think I paid 20 bucks for my kit, looks much better imo

 

paracord wrapped oh shit bars
Console tray
Bed mount bottle opener
Stubby antenna
Vinyl badge
Even a vinyl sticker on your truck.
LED interior lights
Waterproof mats

 

Cheapest mod = don’t mod at all.


Once you start...you’ll truly never stop.


True story.

 

I’ve added the stubby antenna, weathertech floor mats, and the console half locking safe. My only ‘mods’ so far.
Other simple and “cheap” ones I have planned are:
TRD rear sway bar, plan to tint windows soon, looking for a decent seat cover for the back seat (dog plus 2 kids/car seats wreaks havoc but I haven’t convinced myself to drop money on Katskinz yet), plan on swapping out the gear shifter to an all black one when I find one I like, and I’ve been debating ordering a pair of the BAMF corner bed ties.
Ive got a running list of mods I’d like to do... but, I haven’t been willing to part with the money on any just yet.

 

Where did you find .I bought the one from Toyota, not too fond of it. Everything slides around, including the loose change.

 

I have installed the TRD rear sway bar, Weathertech floor mats, running boards, Tonneau flip cover, tailgate inserts and the Toyota center console tray.I would love to have brighter headlamps though!

 

Front window tints, lamin-x yellow foglight covers, stubby antennae, husky floor liners, black TRD Pro shift knob, and black chrome OEM exhaust tip.

Also LED headlights, cargo and lic plate bulbs.

Black chrome tip? You have a pic?

 

Painted the pipe with engine paint black too

 

That looks sharp. Add something else to my list I want to do and wish someone else would pay for.

 

I posted a link on page one.

Plastidip those wheels...ASAP!!!

 

Which letters are these? From Toyota or Amazon

 

Black emblems and stubby antenna.

 

Maybe I'm warped.... I want to add a power antenna. Does anyone know if the stock radio has a power lead for a power antenna?

 

I'm very interested in this.

Link? I've been debating doing this. So far, mine was lifted and had the Weathertech mats at the dealer prior to purchase, and they also threw in a stubby antennae. I've tinted the front windows and replaced the grill insert with a generic honeycomb grill with the amber LEDs at the top, added a console insert (I like the one posted in this thread better than what I got, though), and put a cup shaped coin holder in the holder directly under the radio.

 

My black Tundra came with all the badges blacked out. I think they are probably overlays. I actually really like the black on black. My only one I don’t like is the black badge in the chrome grille - it can look like just a black hole from a distance. Also have the solas organizer tray. Got it cheap on Amazon. A definite must have. Another good cheap mod that I’m really glad I did was the DIY bed rails and ammo can mod.

 

Haha the wheels are one of the reasons I got this one! I’ve had black wheels and they just get dull grey over time. My buddy has a 14 tundra TSS with black wheels and he tells me all the time he will do chrome next because he hates having to take care of the black.

 

Ammo can mod?

 

What OEM step bars did you take off? Depending on what style they are, are they for sale?

 

Not specifically, but there are plenty of ignition controlled 12v wires in the radio area.
