Greetings fellow Tundra owner/enthusiast

I purchased my 2015 5.7L 4x4 Crewmax SR5 brand new a few years back from Roseville Toyota.

I initially purchased the Tundra mainly to haul my dogs around and tow my camp trailer. I've kept it stock for the most part the past 2+ years but recently was bit by the mod bug and looking to do some off-roading so the mods will ensue.

-Powdercoated bumper end caps

Interior

-Baja Designs "Raptor Inspired" LED grill lights
-Baja Designs Squadron-R Sport Amber Fog lights with PnP kit


Future Mods

First mod after purchasing the truck was a TRD PRO grill and hood bulge.



Was planning my first camping trip to Fort Bragg so I added new OEM tow mirrors along with a Prodigy P3 brake controller. Got a sweet deal on TRD wheels/tires as well

 

What are the plans for this and boy?

 

Lately I've taken interest in doing some occasional off-roading. Have a few buddies who do trails runs and wanna join them. Just want to personalize the truck a bit more.

 

First trip was a success. Was very impressed with how well the Tundra towed my camp trailer. Especially in those twisty road heading to Fort Bragg.

 

Welcome aboard from AZ!
You are off to a great start with a Super White truck, which everyone knows is the fastest color!

 

Welcome! Rig is off to a good start! Hope to see u at the next meet n greet!

 

Which is when!!!

 

Thank you! yes I'll definitely be out to future events

 

Things are getting a little more serious now. My favorite mods so far. Kings 2.5 coilover/shock combo w/ compression adjusters. Quality is pretty amazing on these.

 

Welcome from Delaware!

 

One of the deciding factors that led me to purchase a tundra was being able to run my favorite wheel. Always dreamt about having one on TE37s. Volk makes tundra specific large PCD te37s so I special ordered these in magnesium blue with that long JDM wait time. Love the new revised design with the CNC'd logo (old style had stickers that peeled off eventually). Finished off by wrapping them in Toyo open country MT 35x12.5x18

 

Nice. You going do the can mount chop?

 

More than likely, I'm on the fence with replacing the front bumper with a pre-runner style for additional clearance. I still need to order the CB shackles as well and a few other misc. items.

 

haha thanks, couldn't agree more!

 

I've always liked the raptor led grill lights and wanted to do something similar. A good friend of mine installed Baja design amber rock lights in the grill of his Toyota so I decided I'm going to do the same. The quality on Baja design products is amazing. Each individual rock light has a CNC'd aluminum casing. Can't wait to receive their amber fog light as well

 

Kept going back and forth on what new headlight setup I wanted. Was going to just do the 2018 LED ones because the full LED DRL looks so badass. Decided to just order a brand new set of 2018 non-LED headlights so we can retrofit these new M LED Bi led projectors into them. Going for a clean OEM look. Supposedly these are brightest LED projectors available to date which includes the new 2018 led headlights. Anyhow, I got in on the pre-order and they finally arrived.

 

Nice choice of lighting parts!

 

Thanks man....good lighting is definitely key.

 

Sick!! Got some good stuff there! Love the mag blue TE! Homage to the jdm lifestyle lol

 

looking good so far..dem Kings !

 

Still need to make some adjustments and do a little more trimming.

 

In the process of removing all the chrome. Picked up my parts from the local powdercoater. Had the front and rear end caps done along with the tow hooks. Much more cost effective vs ordering the ones from sparks. Only $150 compared to $1k

 

Nicely done. Im local to you. Who did you use to powder coat the ends? Maybe you can help me with the rears.

 

Thank you. I used Sanchez powdercoating here in Yuba City. It's only $35 an end cap. So $70 for the rears. Is your tundra super white? I actually just bought spare end caps from a guy on tundra crew. We'll see tomorrow how close it matches

 

Yeah mine is superwhite. Post up when you get it put on.

 

I definitely will. Where abouts are you located?

 

Debating if I should go for the Squadron-R Pros(4900 lumens) or just install these Squadron-R Sports(1800 lumens) which are suppose to be street friendly....decisions. Feeling a little impatient and wanting to install the front bumper and fogs already.

 

Exactly. I tend to plan my vacations around them and make sure I somehow accommodate them lol. Don't have any kids myself so they fill the void.

 

Im over in West Sac

 

I wish I went with the pros. Because I don’t feel comfy driving around w the sports. Too much glare up on other drivers eyes. So I might as well have the pros!
