What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Sorry for all the questions so is the latch keyed or anyone can open and close it?

 

Plasti-dipped front bumper caps yesterday. A little runny, but from afar looks good!

First time ever playing around with plasti-dip. Going to do the rears today.

 

No key, Anyone can open it but would have to open the tailgate first

 

I used the iHacker harness that was completely plug and play, which I believe means the DRL's are on at all times. He has a couple different options, but I was not about to try and splice or run through the firewall to the dash, as I am NOT savvy in electrical at all. Get ahold of him, he is awesome and will go over all options with you.

 

Post of a pic if your whole truck, lets see is in all its glory..

 

I ordered some Anthracite Grey HyperDip to do this same thing. Excited to see how your turns out.

 

You can sell the resonator. I sold mine on here a few weeks back.

 

Nice find. Yeah the pump bearings corrode and lock up if they sit too long without being used. That's why you see so many for sale that say "new water pump".

 

I think those wheels will look good on there.

 

Scrolling through my reddit feed and I had to do a double take, I knew I had seen those photos already.

 

From afar, it looks amazing. One thing I’d suggest is definitely be aware of where you add masking tape so that way it covers all the area you don’t want sprayed, but areas needed to be sprayed won’t be covered by masking tape.

I mistakenly had 2 corners of the masking tape had overlapped the chrome, so if you looked real closely, you’d see the 2 spots I missed.

It was pretty hot yesterday in CT, so I didn’t really wait for the actual 30 mins of drying time. Did 4-5 coats I think.

 

Looks great, been debating forever..

 

Very clean

 

I used rubber undercoating to dechrome my hood bulge. Will be doing same for the grill surround in the next day or so.
This is what I used.

Anyone else use this stuff?

 

Not necessarily today, but over the last couple of weeks since acquiring her.

All weather mats
Window tint
Debaged
Raised tail gate lettering inserts
Wireless charging
AJT interior pieces
Tufskinz Console badge
Remote start
LED bulbs swap

 

Installed Ironman Foamcell Coilovers set at 2” and 3/4” shackle in the rear.

 

Washed it, bought a 2way radio power cable and magnet mount antenna, ordered a smittybilt gen2 xl rtt, ordered total chaos box stiffeners, and ordered a twin peaks bed rack rail system. No the wait game.

 

A great start! Welcome to the site!

 

My undercover flex tonneau was faded like crazy. Looked awful. Tried cerakote - still looked awful. Used acetone to clean it and sprayed with a glossy black high temp spray paint. It looks great now. Very happy with the results

 

iHacker harness for me too. Someone posted a pic of a newer plug and play option he's doing. Amber drls on all the time, LED drls come on about 50% and ambers dim w/ parking lights or headlights on. I liked the functionality and look so shot him a dm. Super good to work with. Had the harness in 3-4 days

 

How did it turn out? Trying to decide if I do something similar or do bumpershellz

 

Added the paint matched mirror caps and got rid of the ugly ass chrome caps. Next will be window tint and swapping the handles out for paint matched as well.

 

Take a gander in the LT section of the site, guard yer wallet...

Remember watching this a few years back and wanting it. Not practical for me, but might get you started looking in the right area of youtube.

Going from stock sucks, to adding a little ride height, to long travel, is a huge leap.

Start with $5-8k and look here... https://www.tundras.com/threads/long-travel-kits-list.22281/

 

Well that escalated quickly.


Buy a sand rail and use your Tundra to tow it.

 

Bought ss3 dd sae yellow fog lights. Installed by going thru fender then found out no blue clips(2020tundra with oem ledfogs) holding the bezel to bumper caps. Later aligned the foglights by removing the bezel on the front without messing with the fender (much easier/quicker).

 

A few questions…..is there a video/write up that you followed to remove the front bezels? What version of SS3 did you get? I have the Pros on my 4Runner, but also have restrofit HIDs. I felt like Pros on the Tundra would wash out the headlights. Lastly, did you use zip ties like most others to secure the new fogs? Thanks

 

Any chance you have a picture of where you mounted the module?

 

Well, I have not put it back on the truck, yet. But, I have to say it looks great. Only time will tell if it Will last, though.
I prepped by making sure it was clean and did a final scrub with isopropyl acholhol before spraying the rubber coating. Again, it looks great. I "think" it will last due to the thickness and rubber which should prove resistant to bug and small rock strikes.
For $10.00 a can I really could not go wrong.
