What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Are the pro led headlights much different from the led lights in my 2020 Trd Sport?

 

Pretty sure it's Chrome bezel vs Black bezel.

 

They are just the blacked out version of the ones you have.

 

Would also like to know what you used! Seems like it wouldn’t be that hard to duplicate and save a ton of money.

 

I would be interested in knowing how you made them too.

 

It looks like DDI is updating their Tundra seat jackers. The V1 seems to have a pin that was supposed to be in place so that the seat would be in it's secured position... the newer V2 seems to not even have a pin?

V1


V2

 

They have a black chrome version too that’s pretty badass. Not that I’m biased or anything.

 

1x2x6 alum block, cut in half. Drill a new hole for the seat bolt, I also added another hole the forward facing of the block and tapped that so I could install a piece of angle to mount the fire extinguisher. All told I am a bout $100 into both sides including the fire extinguisher.

That rear pin is only there for alignment when the robot sets the seat in place9I did have to bend the pin a little to make it fit properly). The 4 bolts are plenty to hold the seat in place in case of a sudden deceleration(collision).

Don't mind the mess in the truck please. It's not normally this bad.

 

Parked next to this beauty! MGM Crüe!

Anyone know if those wheels are factory or if they are wrapped/painted?

 

All of these seat jacker modifications. I hope you guys are using bolts rated with a high shear rate.

It’s not worth saving $4 per bolt when it could fail in an accident.


Sorry for the comment. But I do like everyone’s ideas.

 

Looks like the Nightshade edition wheels or the had them powder coated black.

 

As you install them, you have to fudge pinched tolerances by starting bolts before parts are all flush with one another - I can rephrase if someone doesn't get what I mean by that. As you crank the bolts down, the missed tolerances are probably making up the difference by bending the frame of the seat just a smidge. It all works, but it's just a little PITA getting it there. I have v1, and I don't feel the pins are a necessary component. Looking at your pic of v2, not sure how that installs, but it looks simpler, which is likely better.

 

This looks really great.

 

[update 2]
DDI says they'll give me a refund. Thanks @RobertD and @2010bigdog for the interest.

 

Looks good! Did you buy them painted or have a shop do the paint match?

 

Thank you - they turned out great!

Ordered them from Sparks Parts. They're not a perfect match, but they're close enough that you can't tell unless you're up close and looking for it! It's so close that I think it's lighter than the truck's paint, and my wife thinks it's darker than the truck's paint.


Does anyone know a rough price range I should be looking for to get these bumper end caps clear bra'd prior to install?

 

Originally I thought the GM style tow mirrors looked a bit goofy & I took them off. But after a front level lift, color matched caps, new wheels & big tires I gave them another chance. I think they look 100x better now.

 

They are the same as my trd or wheels but black…

 

Nice! Yea they look really good from the other side of the internet. I don’t have an answer for you on clear bra stuff. I know for the place by me, it’s 1k+ to have the entire front end done.

 

Thank You sir!

 

The other type you’re showing is for first gen trucks.

 

bumpershellz front and rear and you’ll be all set.

 

Yes

 

paint them for now its what I did while I wait for them to make some 3R3 (red) bumpershellz

 

Those mirrors look great! Where did you purchase them from?

 

I got mine from eBay

 

Newly arrived '21 TRD Pro received a bed mat so stuff won't roll around. The front sway bar arrived and the rear bar should be here tomorrow (hopefully). Looks like rain for a couple days and I have no ability to work in the garage right now, so the sway bars may have to await install.

 

Can someone explain the advantage of the TRD front sway bar vs the OEM front sway bar? They seem to be exactly the same, except the red paint and the weight of the bar. Is the weight what makes it better? I have the rear TRD sway bar, but still have the factory front.

 

Supposedly more stiff and well built. I took mine off, but that's a debate that'll derail quickly.

 

I too took my front sway off and never looked back. been roughly 1.5+ years no regrets
