What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

That is awesome - spray paint? Plasti Dip?

 

Don't use plasti dip....

 

I love the glove box decal... I’ve been debating taking my handle apart to paint the lock.
Where’d you get that decal from?

 

VHT Plastic Paint

I went with the same shocks, setting the front at 2.5". Although it measured out dead level between top of the tire to fender, it at times looked slightly higher in front. So, I added Icon mini Pack leafs to the back, which added 1 1/4" to the back and now have the desired lift and slightly higher in back. I think if you go with your proposed setup, you should get the same or very similar.

 

Any plans for the three amber grill lights?

 

thanks for the reply. I might just do 1.9 to save a few bucks. Lots to think about

 

It is from Rich, TVD Decals.

Here is a link for the carbon fiber version. However, I requested a matte black instead, via PM here.

What glovebox decal?
Do you mean this one? It's on the grill.



From Rich @rrentrop TVD DECALS

 

his first photo shows the glove box with a blacked out lock cylinder

 

I didn't even notice that.

 

I just noticed that now.

 

Yeah....those fit better than my left over radio letters lol

 

Rich @rrentrop made those specifically for that grille TSS access cover.

Looks like the good news is that the original cover is still ok. No harm, no foul?

 

Jim, I was in the same boat. I couldn't figure out what he did in the first picture lol
@ElNopal as always your work is spot on and it's so clean that some of us can't even tell where OEM ends and your mods begin lol but those lights in the handle recess are awesome and a huge improvement over OEM

 

ahh....thought they were TVD

 

Are you referring to the part directly above the glove box?
If so, is this precut or something you’re making?

 

I use Regular, engine pings with plus and premium.

 

¡Gracias, muchas gracias amigo! I really appreciate the positivity in your post. I, like many, enjoy tinkering on “stuff” and right now my Tundra is a large part of my focus these days.

I plan, plan, research, template, plan some more, shelf it, then come back to it, plan some more, order parts, plan again, use the “search button” on here for more inspiration, think about a bunch of what-if’s, then start my projects in the evening and then finish them in the early morning because that is when I can think more clearly.

To have you appreciate the end results with me is just down right awesome! While I know that not all of my mods “light the world on fire” or may leave many wondering “what the heck was he thinking?”, it may be determined that I was working my best to make the stuff look like it might have grown there all along!

 

There is a precut circular lock cylinder decal made by TVD Decals. I ordered one in a matte black rather than the carbon fiber one in the link below.

As for the door handles, there are 6mm LED Light bolts inside the interior handle recess. Jim was asking what ones were used. They are from Oznium.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Matt.

 

All your stuff looks well thought out. I'm definitely learning a lot from you and many others here. I really like to plan and think things thru. I'm just lacking on practical experience and knowledge lol but man this forum is awesome. So many people sharing all the details and tricks they have learned. Almost always can find someone who has some post about what you are wanting. Can't wait until I can do more to mine and share with you all!

 

Dumb question, how do you get the plastic shroud off? I found acorns in my blower motor and wanted to get to the intake to make sure it was clear, but couldn't figure out how to get it off .

 

I thought it was the opposite where engine pings on cheap gas. I'll stick to 91 since I only go to Chevron (nearest gas station by my house) and we shop at Safeway a lot also and get gas rewards.

 

Ha! Oh, that tiny thing.

I was talking about this part.
Is it painted or wrap?
