    This Charles and @therealjonwick is still holding up great, and has way more coverage:

    Complete shots of small areas where coverage is lacking; first is worst, but only evident when glove box is open:

    Already have an SR5. I wanted. A platinum but couldn’t swing it. For a sale on those, are you saying on spark parts?

    side note, I’ve seen some people selling color matched mirrors and door handles. Will those fit my SR5? I’m thinking no on the door handles since they are the smart unlock touch ones. I doubt mine has the wiring for that. Thanks!

    Those look decent! I’m thinking you could dry fit them, look where it’s lacking and use some tape/paint/sharpie to color in the minor gray areas. Thanks!

    Did you have the original pro suspension on it? If so, what did you do with that?

    I painted mine with SEM Trim Black. It's a different painting experience compared to Krylon. Each coat needs to be very light, and iirc I used 8 coats and let it dry for at least 4 hours. I probably should have added some clear matte, but it's perfect.

    SEM Trim black coating works wonders. Many of us have used it.

    I tested some clear matte on my old steering wheel trim pieces with the Trim black and it didn't look that great.

    a few other things standing in ... for now.
    Yep. Most recent one: decided to take a few minutes to replace radiator hoses on an old Suburban i've been working on. I EVEN HAD IT ALREADY DRAINED!! And then found the factory clamps were turned so there was no way to get to them. Hours + dremel tool + hours.

    Tundra related content: Thankful that I find less of this on the Tundra!

    Correct! This is a large potential issue with the factory ones when offroading.

    Engine will fall and smack the crossmember causing way more damage. The stock mounts are not great from what I have seen.

    Is it safe to assume this is primarily a problem with you go fast fellas?

    From pops’ experience only slightly at idle. I’m not worried about it. Your tires make more vibes lol this ain’t no caddy. Vibrate less than a broken mount lol
