What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Keep an eye on the powdercoat. Mine started flattening out after a few months.

 

Damn that’s pretty awesome!

 

Color match Raptor lined the swing cases today. The black needs to be refreshed, and the locks will get installed back in tomorrow. I just scuffed all the plastic and used Bulldog adhesion promoter before the liner. The high lift looks at home now with things matched up, and I resprayed my underseat storage since the Katzkin installers scratched it up.

 

Finally got around to installing the TRD skid plate. Thanks @DuneShoot

 

Thatta boy Geno, that's more like it. That's the kinda work I've come to expect from you. As always great idea and great execution, gotta love the color match.

 

Thank you sir!!

 

Mounted my Krazy Beaver shovel and Fiskars axe in the bed. Used the Rago Fab rail mounts with an Ez-Awn K9 holder. Not super happy how the shovel and axe line up. Might switch to quick fists and figure out how to lock them somehow.

 

I made the brackets to mount in the deck rail.

Best mod. Paid off

 

Drive it up to the mountains yesterday for some hiking with the doggo

 

Well today I felt the need to sexy it up a little bit, and put a tonneau on the back.

 

Dipped my 4 Tufskinz Air Vent Ring Overlays, 4 Wheel Hub Toyota Emblems, and my Steering Wheel Toyota Emblem Overlay Gray.

Letting them cure overnight then tomorrow I’ll spray them with several coats of a clear matte enamel. Probably let them cure overnight again and maybe even spray a coat or two of ceramic just prior to installing them.

The dry fit on the vent rings looked perfect……No Chrome Showing! Hopefully the dip has no effect on the fit.

 

Detail day at the house. Wife's car took too long, so will have to finish up the truck tomorrow.

 

Parked next to my buddy’s new-to-him 2nd gen. Kinda jealous of his cap, to be honest. I now have two friends with Tundras. I’m on a mission to convert the rest of my friends who own trucks . Then, I gave my wife a quiet weekend at home by taking my kids backpacking. My favorite thing about Nashville is how many great trails there are within a couple hours of town.

 

Installed the updated Z brackets from Tyler, completing my cat plate install.

 

Very first project on my new Toy…
Remove idiot warnings from visors. Little heat, razor under edge, peel off…

 

A little interior debadging!! Nice.

 

NOTICE: DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF THE LAW

 

NOTICE: HIS TRUCK, WILL DO WHAT HE WANTS!!

 

Horrible picture taken in the dark, but just received my RAM mounts from Amazon and got them installed. I need to get some more screws I'm one short, but don't really need it right now anyway.

 

Washed It.

Still cleans up ok for 143k miles and 8 new england winters.

 

Today’s accomplishment is 90% of front anytime camera install. Will take time tomorrow to mount to the grill.





I was working on my headlights while I had them out I mounted the bracket for the Aux Beam just above the fuse box. I can still open and remove cover without a problem. Also ran the control wire underneath the padded cover that runs across the fire wall. Ran both camera and switch panel wires through the passenger side gasket.

I will have to get an extension for the Aux beam control.

 

I read those before starting the truck every day to remind me. Lol

 

Has anyone placed a cover over the rear window switch instead of the switch relocation thing? If so do you have a link to which one worked? Thanks

Similar to this.

 

wut?

 

The relocation is to make it easier to get to. Pretty sure a cover would not be that. I did get a cover to go over the passenger seat ejector, but it was this one.

 

Why?

 

A cover for this switch ... I do not mind the location but I hit it where it is now. A cover would prevent accidental openings.

 

See below.
