What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Not sure about version number, but it is what it pulls up in the app.

 

I completed the usual weekly Sunday wash.

 

Gorgeous!

 

Got the truck ready for winter with a good coat of Wool Wax and installed a set of Diesel Backup lights. Need to wait til its dark to see what it really lights up in the garage.

 

¡Muchísimas gracias hermano!

 

Take them off, it will be much easier, trust me. Heating up vinyl and stretching it around curves is a PITA while on truck. Ask me how I know...Did it twice while on truck and still looked like crap with wrinkles.

 

Looking good Matt .... but you still have mud on your tires ... wash it again.. haha lol ..

 

They are clean, I promise Jay... I just got a little too close and curb-rashed it...

Okay, okay, I am filling my bucket again...

 

Haha .. yes please and some tire shine..(water base only) ...Trinova .. good stuff

 

Nothing major but this PRO Clip mount with a Scosche magic mount and a Ram Garmin in reach. Trying not to drill holes in the dash to start with.

 

Did my Entune update a few days ago. The USB route didn’t work. The stereo read the USB and then said “no update found”. Downloaded the Entune app and it updated in about 15 seconds.

No big functional difference but the volume is more repeatable. Don’t have to turn it up past 30 to hear the music.

 

It might be hard to get the vinly in those nooks and crannies, and not have any chrome show.

 

I didn't think of getting the jack to begin with. Plus my fatAss thought I would fit just fine under the truck and plate on my gut ‍♂️ lol. Lesson learned don't rush and take your time even if it's night fall.

 

Appreciate the info

 

Did you do the hood scoop yourself?

 

¡Bueno señor, aquí le va!
Okay, Jay here you go sir! I did not happen upon any Trinova, however, I found some Meguiars shine... subtle but will work, yes?.

 

Ahh! ¡Buen ojo, Calvín!

Good eye sir! You noticed that?!

Yes, I did. Thanks for noticing.

Cheers

 

Guapita .!!! So much better amigo ...

 

Was it difficult? Do you like it? If you dont mind, how much did it cost (paint included) It looks great btw! Im debating on doing it to my truck which is why im asking.

 

Put in my SS3 pro fogs

 

No worries.

Difficult?, not really. It just requires thoughtfulness, preparedness, and maybe some conviction...

The parts are around $550 ish through Roman. All the parts are listed on his OEM Thread.

I actually took this piece in to my bud’s shop for paint. He charged me just under $80.

Like it?, Heck ya I do. It is my cup of tea and it brings a smile to my face every time! While I know others may beg to differ, I think it is COOL!

Let me know if you have any other questions!
As always, I have a s!*t ton of pictures if you are more visual...

 

You left out one more thing it requires... BEING A MADMAN!!!!! Drilling and cutting holes in a brand new truck?!





Mad respect to those who have this level of skill and vision!

 

Thanks man! She looks great! I've seen videos on it and it doesnt seem too difficult, but wanted to pick someones brain who isnt a youtuber. Do you notice any difficulties with it blocking your view whilst driving?

 

Thank you for the kindness!

I have to say that it has not been a problem whatsoever as far as visibility is concerned. Heck, I still have to use my front camera to “see” my nose in relation to “stuff” in the proximity below the hood line. That was definitely before, currently is, and will probably continue being the case but NOT because of the scoop.
Cheers!

 

Engine, t case, LCA skids all installed and rear shock condoms put on.

 

Thanks, Adam. That is why I didn’t post this mod... Was kind of thinking nobody would notice... It lasted a while though.

Rest assured, I lightly sanded the minimal burrs, cleaned, primed and painted (color matched) the holes. They look like they were there all along... So says the Mad man.

 

All hail The Madman.

 

Got the cap on today.

 

Mr. Awesome here .... so nice

 

What kind of TRD wheel are those and what size tire do you have? Those do not look like the standard Tundra trd.
