Round 3. 2018 Quicksand Tundra

Just decided to start a build thread to contain all the past and present builds and mods. Ive been working for Toyota for the past 13 years and lurking here for quite some time (Ocassionally posting) Started out with a 2010 Tacoma Trd Sport, and then onto a 2011 Tundra Rock Warrior. Currently will be working on the 2018 Tundra Limited Trd Offroad i recently picked up.

Picked up some random odds and ends mostly some of the smaller, boring stuff... Added a MPC remote start, stubby antenna and found a brand new set of floor liners on Market place for $40.00. And am currently waiting on paint to be finished up. Bought all new OEM front end parts to get rid of all that damn chrome! Also picked up a black Softopper to try out this summer, not sure how much use it'll get, but time will tell.

 

Nice.

 

I have those same floor mats and love them

 

Screen the fresh air intake brother! Unless of course you already did. Looking good!

 

Love all the mods

 

what do you mean by this? curious for myself

 

I should have been more clear, apologies! I mean the HVAC fresh air intake under the wiper/hood/windshield cowling. If not screened, mice often get in and destroy parts of the truck and can kill you. There was a member here who nearly died from parasite infection because of mice. The thread title is something like: My Tundra and the rodents that almost killed me. Good reading material and for those who haven't read it, they ought to.

 

Got around to getting the front end parts all mounted up. Still need to get the door handles on.

 

Also got a 65° day in the middle of Febuary so decided to throw on the Softopper to see how i like it. I dont plan on running it all the time but i am pretty impressed with it

 

Snagged up a temporary set of Hankook dynapro M/T until i decide what route i plan to go with lift, wheels, and tires.

 

That is a good looking truck

 

Nice truck softoppers are a game changer

 

Sub’d for some quicksand beauty in here! If your previous rigs are any indication, this will be a badass build

 

Tossed on a set of Oem Black door handles, and also got around to throwing on the Trd Skid plate on.

 

Yea. Get rid of that chrome!

 

Nothing exciting by any means (but im trying my best to document everything). Added a set of OEM emblem overlays (limited badge not pictured as it was a day out still), Removed the TRD offroad bed stickers, and added a set of AVS in channel rain gaurds.

 

Looks awesome! Did you use Tufskinz on the grill letters?

 

Found a good deal on a set of Rock Warrior wheels. The tires are shot which didnt matter as i planned on different tires anyways. I have a set of new OEM center caps on the way. However im in a serious debate on if i keep them factory finish or send them out for powder coat.

 

I vote factory finish. They're a timeless design and it matches great with your quicksand. Are you going with that size tire too? Looks perfect.

 

Im really leaning towards factory finish. These tires currently are 315/70 i will probably end up going 35x12.50

 

Nice truck. My favorite color.

 

I painted mine, regret selling them.

 

Finally got some time to throw on the Firestone Ride Rite bags on. (these things have been the absolute best investment ever if you tow) Ran both airlines out the rear where the plate bolts normally go.

 

Still nothing cool to update about as most of my parts are sitting in the basement. however I finally made it around to installing the under seat storage tray, also picked up a bed divider from market place for $25.00.
