What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

The passenger side actually touches the rubber grommet that I am assuming protects the hood? I can take a photo later.

 

Your truck looks great. Really nice mix of black and chrome trim.

Welcome from Winston Salem, NC!

 

Here are some pics of the melt job I had to do for the CBI antenna brackets.

 

Are you happy with these so far? Looking at doing the same to my truck.

 

Got some gas, she’s thirsty

 

Cut some fuel line and put it thru the carabiner.

 

@Hightide stealing this photo from Ellis_McPickle, but the 2nd photo is the passenger side rubber grommet that needs to be flipped. Aside from that, no other issues from the CaliRaisedLED brackets.

 

Even if that support is stainless, I would coat it with a non-conductive material, like rubber paint.

 

Bought a mounting bracket for the Anytime camera kit I don't own yet. Baby steps.

That is really pretty. Nice work!

 

Great work! I need to start looking at something similar, I think. Amp steps plus upgrading the audio system has a pair of power and ground wires I'd prefer look a little more intentional, and secure. Looks like stainless, but any concerns regarding the metal mounts and conductivity?

 

Thanks

 

No concerns with the metal mounts as I have used a similar setup on my Tacoma with no issues.

 

My whole intent of using 316 stainless was not having to paint it or powder coating.

 

Absolutely there super stiff and keep the back from getting as I call it “uneasy”. You can definitely tell there doing exactly what there supposed to do it rides really nice. I will say if your planning on doing it your self start with the bottom and you will need at least one more person to help put it where it goes there very stiff. Also I chose the icons because there fully rebuildable but you will need shock boots I got some on Amazon and it was like they were built for them. And it does not say it in the description but it comes with two boots.

 

Thank you for the part number much appreciated. Can I move the net anywhere I want inside of the bed ? Like can I put it up against the cab or does it have to be near the tailgate ?

 

You can run it behind the cab, in fact that's how Toyota show's it.

I think it's designed to go against the cab. You don't need zip ties back there because it just snaps in.

 

@Coupe battery hold down

 

Understood. I would at least put a meter on it to verify no continuity. You might be surprised. While stainless steel is much less conductive than copper or aluminum, it is still conductive.

 

Perfect !

 

The time delay relay is actuated by the footwell lighting circuit. It drives my underbody lights (which can also be turned on/off manually). Footwell circuit fades in and dims out. I tried a regular relay, but it was buzzing/chattering through the transition. A very short time delay and capacitor fixed it.

Finished up the steering wheel last night with SEM. Love how it came out. Can't wait to do the silver trim next to the radio. Here's some before and after

 

I sold it. But it’s to big to drive around Germany for the next couple years.

 

oh come on! my brother had his 01 ram 1500 with a 3" lift shipped when based in germany. he said it was the biggest on the road, but no one messed with it. his other car always got dinged up though. he was based in wiesbaden then

 

Dropped it off at dealership to have passenger side cam shaft tower seal replaced. They put me in a four banger Rav4 to get me through till Friday. I feel like a clown in a clowncar.

 

All seriousness ... hope the repair goes well !

 

I've got a buddy who just got back from there (5 year temp promotion to GS-11 for those of you who know the gov't payscale). He brought his F150 along, and loved driving it there...but didn't love parking. LOL

 

Thanks man, me too!

 

Yep...you will like it. I did mine a few months ago.
