Salmonfacesalads bolt-on thread.

Greetings all! No build here, just a truck with a few bolt ons.

Stock rig on purchase day.


I have absolutely no rhyme or reason for any the bolts ons I’ve purchased. Honestly, I think it’s cool, convince myself it’s functional and I need it, and buy it. The stock truck is fine, but I can’t leave anything alone.

 

Westin outlaw front and rear bumpers along with tyger side steps. At some point 17”’1552 wheels were added.



JBA UCA and Wheelers front bump stops. The bump stops came with trail gear stickers oddly enough.





And a rear sway

 

Custom grill and minimal skid plate made for the front bumper.

 

Looks great! Is it a 19' or 20'

Can we see a rear shot of the rear bumper as well?

 

Looking good! Who makes those wheels?.

 

It’s a 19. I’ll have to get a better shot of the rear tomorrow.

 

1552 makes the bronze 17” wheels, but I’m switching them out to 18” Method MR314 soon.

 

I’d say it qualifies as a build.

 

Looks good!

 

I’ll get more pics of the rear bumper soon.

I’m waiting on the TC mounting kit for these to show up.

 

I'm more interested on how you came up with that name... @salmonfacesalad

 

it’s an inside joke when I used to cook for a living. Kitchen folks are a rough crowd. It’s a very unsensational story.

 

Some rear shots. Truck is dirty for the most part. I cleaned the bumper up a bit.





Obviously the factory tailgate is gone ( stored away ). The camera has been relocated to the rear bumper in one of the sensor holes.

My F250 tailgate ( previous work truck) was destroyed after only a few years of work. It was replaced with a cheap aluminum tailgate that I can completely remove from the truck and access the bed and not destroy and bend the tailgate during work...
So the same goes for this tundra.

I’m tempted to purchase myself a swing out prerunner style tailgate from Wilco I believe. It’ll look a lot cooler and still be functional for work.

 

someone here is selling a wilco tailgate I believe.

 

Nice truck! Sounds like you've read the "I hate these threads" thread.I started laughing out loud when i saw your title. @Atomic City Tundra likes this.

 

Hell YES!!!!! Love it when someone calls it like it is. This thread delivers on it's promises! No click-bait with false advertising in the title.

 

Very nice looking truck bro. Looking good. Keep it up

 

How hard was this install I’m about to put mine on ?

 

Thank you. I’ll check the marketplace.

I got an off-road shop to do the install. I honestly didn’t want to splice any wires myself for the LED strip that lights up the license plate. So I let them do the whole install. After spending quite a while getting the front bumper just where I wanted it while installing that myself I was ready to let someone else tackle the rear bumper.

 

I seriously appreciate all the kind words everyone!!!

 

Sold off the 17” bronze fifteen52 wheels and BFGs. Sitting on 18” method 314s and toyos. The total chaos and king bump stop kit has been installed as well. I’ll get some better pictures soon.

Top pic is the stock wheels and tires back on for a few days. Second is the sold wheels.

 

I was waiting for the rain to stop eventually to get pictures, but that seems unlikely. I’ll snap a few in the rain.

I’m considering taking off the flares now because this set of wheels sit in a bit more than the last set. Opinions?

 

Man, that looks good. I'm digging those bumpers. Dang good choices of "bolt ons" so far.

 

looks great! What size tires and any clearance issues? Did you do a CMC?

 

Tires are 295 70 18. I just stopped by the local welding shop. He can do a minimal BMC. He has done another tundra before. The kits online are for 37s as well as 35s and I don't need that big of a plate. But yes it’ll be slightly chopped to clear.

 

Thank you!

 

Truck is awesome! What part of GA are you from? I am in Athens

 

wow!

you're pretty much the first person I've seen that needs a CMC for 295/70/18. Your offset is wider than mine at 18 over 25, but I didn't know it makes that much of a difference.

 

This is true, doesn't the Pro models sit 2 inches higher than standard tundras? Or did I just make that up?
