New 2018 SR5 tundra build

Great Tundra! Welcome from CO. Semper Fi!

 

Welcome!

 

The seat covers are not slick u will not slide. They are alittle grippy. Really comfy. Well made and will last years.

 

Update. Nfab side steps. Color match bull nose. Grill and bumper caps next. I am selling the chrome bullnose. 100 bucks. PM me if ur interested.

 

Color matched the bull nose. Bumper caps and grill next. Then all done. 5000 miles on her so far and no regrets. Except do miss my tacoma only because of the gas mileage. And had no car payments. Did the first oil change my self. I don't believe in 10000 miles or 1 year. I am a 6 month 5000 mile man. Mobil 1 full syn 0 20 w with toyota oil filter.

 

any one interested in buying the old bull nose pm me.

 

my old tacoma 2009. My tundra younger brother. Sold to my best friend since 6th grade for 16g yea he got a killer deal. Only 90k miles

 

I do miss that truck. Not one problem. the Tacoma is the same length as my tundra but the tundra is wider and way more space in the second row. the Tacoma was the 6ft bed.

 

And what is sad the new Tacoma don't even come close to my 2009. The new engines suck and trannys.

 

And when they redo the tundra in 2020 or 2021 they are not going to be as good as the old ones.

 

I don't know what it is but I get asked all the time about my truck. The same thing happened with my Tacoma. My best friend who bought my Tacoma told me he always get asked about the Tacoma. And then there are HATERS who are driving ford or dodge trucks. they just give u a fuck you look.

 

let them hate. Nothing like a tundra

 

UPDATE...I put kicker 6x9 in the front door panels witch will fit. I blew the right side of the other kickers I had. I also added a JVC amp to push the front and rear door speakers. The pioneer amp is just pushing the sub in the back. The kicker under the driver seat is powered.(I would not buy again it helps but not that much) The 12 inch sub in the back is real good and will fit behind ur 2nd row cab u have to unbolt the seat to get in it but does fit. Still working on the chrome bumpers and grill did get the color match bull nose. By far the 12 volt electric start was well worth the price.

 

Well been almost a year now. Really glad I got a tundra did miss my tacoma. But now would never go back besides the new tacoma suck. And watch when toyota gets rid of the 5.7 witch I heard they are going to do in 2022 and go with a v6 turbo charged in the tundra u will be glad u got a 5.7. Took a break on mods had to pay off all the shit I put on the beast. I did the rear seat covers cover king neoprene from Costco the BEST Seat cover u can buy. Pain in the ass to put on. Had to take out the back seats to really get them on good. 3hrs. I already had the front on. Then I just got the pedal commander installed today that is the shit highly recommend. And a new cerwin Vega sub for under my seat.

 

And here I was thinking I was the only one in the Redding area with an MGM with fuel vapor wheels.. Saw you got your truck from redding lithia. Great choice in trucks!

 

UPDATE. Its been 15 months now with 14k on her. No problems except still paying off all the shit I put into her. I figured it out so far truck and all have done right at 57g. Shit should of just bought a pro. All I have left is to color match the bumper caps and grill surround. I have a body shop by me that said they can paint over the metal caps and the grill surround. I thought u could not paint over chrome or atleast make it look good. The shop said it would look the same if I bought plastic caps and had them painted and its warranted for the life of the vehicle. Now my girlfriend know the owner he is a straight up guy. He also teaches auto body at the prison her. Just curious has any one had it done or heard of painting over steel chrome bumpers? Also I have to get fender flares since my tires stick out already got a couple dents on my side rear panel. BY the way it would run 800 bucks to paint caps grill surround and the little black bumper were the front lic plate is. Last time I checked it was around 1400 for just the parts colored matched from Toyota. Because I would have replace the whole grill. If there is something new now please let me know. Thank you and 90% done

 

Took me 18 months but I am finished with the truck. At the top of the thread you can see I had my bumper caps and grill surround painted and yes over the chrome it can be done. Sand down the chrome put a etching agent on them and then paint. My local body shop did the work. I would like to thank everyone on the forum I learned a lot. If any one has a question on any thing I did please feel free to ask. Thank you

 

My truck is gonna look very similar to this, and that’s a good thing, beautiful truck!

 

Any rubbing?
