What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

HIREV tail lights. These things look amazing.


Also bought the 3rd brake light from them, but realized I don’t want to go through the hassle of changing it out on a DC. If I had a CM, then maybe…. They charge a restocking fee, so I’ll probably be selling it on here for $65 shipped

 

I’ve never been a fan of the aftermarket tail light options but these are awesome.

 

Thanks. I tried a cheap Amazon set and 2 different Winjets, but they all hyperflashed on me. I had given up, because I absolutely was not going to pay $500 for tail lights. That’s until I stumbled on these in a thread on this forum somewhere. These are amazing and no hyperflash.

 

I've been wondering about this. This is my first vehicle with a centre speaker. I don't need 200 speakers in my truck. Instead give me four and a sub that are dialled in. I know car audio is tricky. Tiny area, super-reflective glass all around, then there's the part where you sitting to the front left on the cab. But anyways, I found your thread and will take it in later.

 

Yeah all I had done from tech12volts from James everything Arc audio. Dual subs and doors and sound deadening with

$320 Rockford DSR1 8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/Integrated iDatalink Maestro Module

Rockford DSR1 and 1100 watt amp kicking it. Had my installer do it.

 

I have the stock stereo, speakers, etc. I just want my stereo to be louder. What's the most simple mod I can do to achieve that? I prefer not to install new head. I'm just thinking maybe I can add an amp or two. Anyone know the best way to achieve just having it louder?

as it stands now, I can turn it up full power and it's still tolerable on the ears.

 

@long_duck_dink I want the same. reach out to James at tech12volts. I just ordered the amp and sub package. actually did it today

 

You'll be happy w/it!!!! Maybe not as happy as 5.29s w/lockers, but you'll be happy

 

I wasn’t going to do anything to my SR5 (non JBL) stereo. Then I read someone mention replacing the dash tweaters with pioneer excelons, “pop the cover, two bolts, plug and play, for 59 bucks and makes a big difference”. It certainly did, it also pointed out the shortcomings of the rest of the system. I couldn’t hear the rears at all, so, replaced those, made a slight difference. At this point I was given a ten year old alpine amp, just installed it, sounds great, so much more control, but, I’m now aware that it needs a sub-woofer. Oh well, it’ll give me something to do in the spring.

 

An early Christmas present from my gal

 

Dean, do you have a link? That's pretty cool.

 

Welcome to the area. Wish I could park inside. Sniff

 

Thanks! She made it custom at work. It's a one of a kind

If you're interested I can see how much they would cost.

 

Sure, for a TRD SPORT if possible.

 

Ok I'll ask her if she can do it and how much.

The company she works for does pressure gauges for machinery.

 

So jelly!!!! If/when I commit to an SC, it'll be whipple.

 

Waiting for these to cure after shooting them with rustoleum safety red professional enamel. Very pleased with the results.
Ignore the poorly painted bracket between them.

 

The painted towhooks add such a nice touch of color. Made me smile every time I walked past the front of the truck.

 

We’re just down south of Portland and we’ve loved it so far, definitely different for me. We almost decided to move over to the tri cities a couple of months ago, but proximity to family is what kept us here. Sounds like y’all had a great setup, but there’s a lot to be excited about over there! So much BLM within reasonable driving distance, great upland bird and waterfowl hunting, solid fishing, and pretty defined seasons. I loved our time out there and hope we can make our way back at some point.

 

How about both...

 

we need to get the local Oregon/pnw gang together for some trail runs.

 

That is awesome

 

Always down for that. Hopefully I’ll get my hands on some 17s before then

 

Nice! I'll probably see you around. I have lots of family in Pasco and we are moving to Richland.

 

X2 if she can

 

Nice! Congrats on the house. I love the tricities area. I visit all the time and plan to move there eventually.

 

So much for the "waiting until the Christmas spending was done to do any more mods" lie I was telling myself. @iHacker harness came Monday and I wasted no time in installing the TRD Pro LED upgraded headlights last night. On a couple dark stretches of my drive home, difference is almost literally "night and day." Really like the way they look as well. Replacement was a snap, as others have said previously. I'm thinking I may mod the grille assembly to attach with velcro if I continue to have it on and off at the current rate. Left side photos are the previous, stock, halogens and right side is the new LED setup.

 

Looks great! I'm contemplating that same velcro move myself, as it looks like my front camera is giving up the ghost after just 2 months (suspect I missed something in preventing water intrusion) - terribly disconcerting to remove anything with rigid plastic tabs when it's -4F outside and my truck doesn't fit in my garage to heat...

 

Well not today. Just got around to posting......
