What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Same. Wish I could ditch mine.

 

I also attached Rhino Rack Pioneer MaxTrax Small Side Mount Brackets to my Front Runner x Diamondback Rack System, so that I can carry my Maxtrax MKII's out of the bed area and still carry my kayaks on my roof rack at the same time.

I used another set of the Rhino Rack Pioneer MaxTrax Small Side Mount Brackets to attach a pair of Victory Roof Rack Accessory Mounts on the other side of the bed to allow mounting of RotopaX or shovel/axe, etc.



I used eye bolts as part of the mounting assembly to add mounting options for the bars.

 

Made my '16 MGM look like it did back when it was driven off the lot today!
A good wash, clay bar, wax and some elbow grease is all it took!

 

Thank you!

 

Nice. I bet they look good at night.

 

Did you measure fender height before and after? Just curious if it settled at all.

 

And... to finish my weekend modding I installed a Midland MicroMobile MXT275 GMRS radio into Rotundra. The install was easy as I mounted the head unit inside the center console where it fit nicely. I ran the hot wire directly to the battery to avoid electrical interference. I actually ran it to my new Blue Seas Fuse Block that I installed with my Switch Pros 9100 system recently. I used a 10 amp fuse in the block, it made for a very clean install. The radio comes with a cable and small magnetic base antenna but I purchased a Midland 6 meter NMO cable and a Midland 3db Gain Ghost Antenna (and a Midland 32" 6 db Gain Antenna with Spring Base to give me more options depending upon terrain and conditions). I ran a CAT 6 cable through my console and out under the dash to connect the microphone to. (I haven't installed the mic holder clip yet) this way the unit is completely hidden except for the mic which has all the necessary controls.

I routed the antenna cable through the rubber firewall grommet into the engine bay and attached it to my Rago Fabrication Lo-Pro Ditch Light Bracket via a Rago Ham Antenna Ditch Bracket Extension.

 

Yeah, they light it up pretty good. Gives me some options when setting things up in the woods.

 

I got N-fab steps on Amazon for a really good price and thought they looked a lot better.

 

Had planned a wash, coating decon and refresh but it rained instead…

 

Have not. i will check in the AM. I have previous measurements.

Installed some @mattgecko led’s in hood bulge and behind grill today - wired up to a dual button factory style switch and a couple of relays via a add a circuit fuse tap

 

Good call. Those chrome/black tube things are hideous. The fact the dealer charges you extra and markets them as an "Upgrade" always made me roll my eyes. Straight to the garbage.

Just awful IMO.

 

Had the dealer take those off and switch out the plat 20's with the TRD 18's before driving it off the lot awww much better !!

 

How do you like the RAS system?

 

Random question, but how do you put GIFs in a posts?

 

Its easy, right click on the Gif, hit copy link address, then paste in the forum box.

Bought a replica insert, spent an hour taking off the TRD Pro Insert to swap with my grill surround. I have to say, for how cheap it was, it's a pretty decent copy IMO! Now I just need to find someone who wants a brand new black grill surround and black grill...

 

Love it. Really helps with load handling, sway, squat, and actually helped with smoothing out little bumps in the road too unloaded

 

coming soon

 

I might know a guy looking for a black surround...

 

It's been a busy weekend!
