What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Love it! Looks really sharp!

 

Could I get a favor from the next one who puts an under the back seat storage box in their crewmax? Could you measure how much depth there is from the deck/sheet metal to the top of the carpet?

I'm looking to put some deeper subs in my truck because the shallow mount subs are just not performing like I want and I don't think they ever will no matter what I do. I'm wondering if there is enough depth to make sub boxes that would support a deeper sub speaker.

 

Another option here would be plastidip. I plastidipped my oem chrome boards maybe 6 months ago. Its held up surprisingly well to car washes and regular daily use. I've had to touch up one spot but literally 10 seconds with a spray can and it blends perfectly. Plus if you decide you don't like it you can just peel it back off. Sort of a before/after

 

Nice! Thanks for all the good ideas, everyone.

 

Made a DIY axe mount out of unistrut and quickfists. Got a bed mat for Xmas too.

 

I have one coming, it’s the long version that locks. Should be here soon and I can take any measurements you need

 

I would guess yes, but just be careful getting those little lights out.

 

+1...this forum is a money sink...but I knew that going in...

 

That would be great! Once you cut out the foam I would like to know how deep the hole is from the top of the carpet to the steel.

 

Did not know the front sway was hollow, replaced the rear and it made a difference, looks like the front may be my next mod.

 

Yes the front is hollow at 17 lbs. The TRD is 29 lbs and solid. It is an awkward install. Helps to have a 2nd person or jackstands with a rag on top so you don't scratch the paint.

 

Great suggestion. After installing rear sway bar I thought, dammit I should have gotten it painted before installing to match my tow hooks

 

What do you think of it Brian? Been thinking about it or the Hikeit brand

 

Always classy Geno!

 

The PC is nice. I have the non-bluetooth version and I've had it for 3 yrs or so.

 

Finished the undercoating on my truck prior to the winter weather we’ve had the past couple of days. Glad that I did!

 

That’s a gnarly undercoat

 

Very nice…..humm wonder if they come in blue

 

No....who knows, contact them. They just released those. Maybe if they get enough inquiries about blue they will make them.

 

Ordered a set of Meso dual color map lights and dual color dome light. I’m still rocking the yellowish halogen interior stock bulbs so this will be a welcome change

 

Thanks for the link! Since they’re in stock now, I decided to go ahead and order them.

 

No blue.

only white, red

4+ years ago they did some amber, smoked white, but different design and only for Tacoma ~ discontinued

 

Bummed, did send an inquiry….just in case it’s something new for 2022.

 

Its too bad that you cant get them to sound as good as you want! i have 2 JL 12tw1 subs going into a box from james soon - i will keep you updated on what i find out

 

I think one just cannot get the depth of base from a shallow speaker and box. Don't get me wrong because these sound great but just lack the depth of base I had in my Ram single cab that had 10" subs and a deep box. They had a great deep rumble when the music presented it.

Same was true in my Ridgeline where I had standard kind of speaker but not so deep a box. The Ridgeline was lacking some rumble compared to the Ram but was much more full sounding than what I have now.

These have great hit and are nice and tight but in a sense, "hollow" when it comes to deep base. They will indeed vibrate the rear view mirror but in the Ridgeline and Ram I was waiting for the mirror to shake off because it vibrated so intensely.. lol.. not even close with these..

Maybe the 12s will help compensate some of the loss in the 10s.?. How much power are you going to put on them?

Car Toys is telling me I need more power but the Ridgeline had this same amp and it was plenty of power.

My girlfriend and neighbor say it sounds awesome as it is. I guess I got spoiled with past configurations.. lol..

I'm listening to the Eagles, Floyd, Zeppelin, system of a down, rush, Alice in chains, and other classic rock. I'm not into rap or pop.

 

I’m sure you’re no stranger to this kind of sludge!

 

1) color matched door handles
2) color matched mirror covers
3) alpha equipt commander wheels with cooper 285/70/17

 

Installed my ESP long box underseat storage! Took about an hour and a half for the install! Fit like a glove!

 

Dang that’s sweet!

 

Won't have access under my seats for a long time but this is sweet.
