What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Just got done installing my Black Friday purchase, a RCI skid plate , was very easy because my friend has a lift!!

 

Before and after, Merry Christmas! Makes it look mean.

 

When my hands went numb I knew something was wrong haha

 

Installed fender flares
Live free or die decal
And a couple of decal patches from method

 

Nice.
What did you use to stick those to your headliner? I put mine on the carpet below the sides of the center console.

 

They had a Velcro backing so I just stuck them up there

 

Dang man! I hate to hear that...not just for the hassle, but in general.
Thanks for the reply and info tho...
I can't stand when companies sell a piece of equipment [especially at that level of a price point], that's designed for selected vehicles, and then don't work. Just shitty.

Have you/ are you going to contact Jet?

 

Finally wired up my Leer camper to truck. Couldn't figure out why it wasn't working when brakes were pressed and realized cargo light was coming on, lol. Swapped wires. Future reference on wires, black wire from camper harness taps into black/white wire on brake taillight harness. Red/white wire from camper harness taps to green wire (parking lights) on taillight harness. Red wire from camper harness taps into red wire (brake lights) on brake taillight harness. Thanks to @Mootball for assistance. Posi taps are AWESOME!! I highly recommend.

 

Glass........

 

Did you install PPF before the flares?

 

I contacted CARiD (that is where I bought it from) Their policy is no returns on electrical, so I am going to try to get in touch with JET, if not I will leave my honest review on u tube

 

Sounds like a good plan.
'Hopefully they'll take care of you. If not, I'll look for your YT vid.

Good luck with it!!

 

Super pleased with v2. Gonna go next level up in gauge on the material, make it 2 inches shorter and I’ll be running a chase light off the inside as well. Stainless hardware too.

 

BE the thunder!

 

Found this group on Facebook and a matching video

 

Hey Rich truck looks great, another beautiful MGM. How's those tires holding up on you? I'm starting to think ahead about new shoes when the time comes.

 

Got in from a much needed trip out of town to the coast! Merry Christmas y'all!

 

Thank you sir. Same with your rig man. I can’t recommend these tires man. They started to crack 6 months in and Toyo told me I’m on my own which really bummed me out. Now I’m just hoping I can wear them down enough to get my moneys worth before they blow out. Don’t get them dude. Especially where we are. They can’t take the abuse up here in the north.

 

Thank you sir!

 

Sorry to hear but can't say I haven't heard about dry rot and wear issues. Supposedly they took a big turn for the worse recently. I heard the older ones before a certain date are rock solid, the newer dates not so much. Again sorry to hear they're not running well for you, but I do appreciate your honesty and figured you would give me the low down straight up. Tnx again. I'm beginning to narrow my searching down to falken wildpeak at3w, and cooper discovers stt pros. Couple others like my previous nitto rgs are possible too but the others are in the lead as of now with time before I gotta pull trigger.

Somebody should start a tire thread where everyone votes and ranks in conditions, wear, location, miles ect. That would probably make for a great thread if not done already.

 

I think you just volunteered

 

I'm not good at stuff like that, somebody else on this forum would and could do a much better job than me on it. I'm just the idea guy, I'll even contribute with feedback on the last 2 sets Nitto and Pitbull. Somebody might step up and run with it.

 

I finally installed my LED TRD Pro headlights in my 2014 SR5 today using the iHacker harness.
I replaced the TRD Pro halogens I bought a five years ago when I got my TRD Pro grille and color matched hood bulge.
So this in my 3rd pair of OEM Toyota headlights....

I wanted to retain my amber DRLs without the bright LED strips.
I see Tundras on the road with the bright LED strips and I don't like them.
They are too bright, and I like my old school amber DRLs.



For what I wanted, my install was literally plug and play.
No running a wire thru the firewall, tapping in under the dash, repinning of connectors, or having to do an add a fuse in the fuse box..

Don't get me wrong, I've got Amp steps, audio amplifiers, etc.
I'm not afraid to run lines from the cab to the engine bay.
But none of that was needed for this mod to fit my wants and needs....

When I remote start the truck (aftermarket remote start), the dim strips come on with the parking lights, my LEDs in the grill, and LEDs in the pod fog lights.
They all go off and I get my amber DRLs when I turn the key on, release the parking brake, put it gear, and get going during the day..

This is exactly what I wanted..



AND I still have my daytime amber DRLS without the bright LED strips..



It is perfect...

Only problem now is I see how much I need to get rid of the chrome bumper ends...
I'll either get vinyl or the Bumpershellz covers.

I love these headlights..
Low beams are much brighter than the stock halogens.
Hi beams are EXTREMELY brighter..
It is a clean white bright light, not the yellow tinted halogen color.
Matches my LED fogs I forgot to take a pic of with them on..

 

I got most of the way through a chrome delete today including the silver center dash. I have red trim rings for the AC, but am not yet sure if I’m going to put them on or not now that I have the factory black vents. And, to be totally honest, I kind of prefer the factory AC knobs (other than the color).

Unfortunately, MESO sent me the start button trim instead of the 4x4 trim, so I’m gonna have to do the 4x4 selector at a later time. I do like the MESO TRD start button though! I also started working on relocating the media USB port to the center console and making the factory location just a charging port, but wasn’t able to get that finished when they wife found out I was toying with my truck instead of working on the cabinet shelves. I need to get them done so I can refocus on getting some things buttoned up on the truck.

 

Making me dust off the seldom used paracord skills I had just started with during start of pandemic then got call back early to work.

 

Nice front bumper. I have the same one. Still not sure what I'm doing for the rear.

 

I like that start button, too bad they're currently out of stock. Also your interior looks exactly like mine. Lol.

 

Well, except for that SF thing in your cup holder...
shoot MESO a message. It showed out of stock when I bought, but they were able to send me an invoice on PayPal and I had it in like three days.
I just wish I’d known what the 4x4 ring looked like so I’d have known before tearing mine apart that I had the wrong one...

I’m also so f**king OCD that I lined up the flats of each hex head to be parallel with the edge it was next to...on purpose.
