    Welcome! I would recommend to message the seller and describe exactly what you want. They have several different TRD designs and colors etc so ask what they have in stock or send a picture of what you are looking for. The website is kind of confusing navigate and to know exactly what options to choose, at least it was for me so it helped to communicate with them. They were really good to work with and the emblems are very high quality.

    i am looking forward to using it. Sadly less spry these days…and more lazy.

    Yes, OEM for that, too. Even did the install the hard way, and didn’t just cut the old bracket.

    Yeah, I went OEM as well and couldn’t let myself ‘cheat’ either. It sure makes getting in/out of the bed a lot easier!

    I installed the aftermarket assist step, $82 ebay. It seems identical to OEM. I cut out the existing webbing section needed for clearance with a die grinder. Tossed the included new webbing piece.

    I had local Ford dealer do the Rhino Lining spray bed liner, $650. Very nice job!


    Installed aftermarket front skid plate $215 Amazon.
    PIA to get bolts aligned and started. I did figure out for rear long spacers that you can drop the in from top making it way easier.

    Just got back from a late season camping trip in UT w my brother; camped for 5 days at 8-10k feet, in rain, snow and wind. Glad to have the camper and more so, the propex to keep it toasty. Got the CV swapped out a few days before I left. The job re-booting one is messy, but not difficult in the least.

    One of the camping spots we had:

    And my brother recently bought a DJI, so why not mess around with it:

    Have cockpit updated with P3 Brake Controller, Phoenix 13" head unit, some black out pieces, gear shifter, phone holder, for guest a phone charger in armrest and cup holder chalk bag.

    Did a front camera in grill emblem but view is not wide enough to see far corners. Searching solution.
    Next up is to install camera under right mirror to view A Pillar and mirror blind spot when turning right activated with turn signal. This is not blind spot camera for viewing traffic to rear.

    If anyone is knowledgeable about the Phoenix Automotive android head units I need expert help figuring out how to toggle the 3 cameras (reverse, front, side mirror) using head units CAM button please!

    Nothing yall haven’t seen a million times over; installed AJT blackout kit and Rago dash plate, honestly pretty disappointed with quality control from them, would not recommend. Several rive nuts needed to be cleaned and tapped

    I have a 2016 SR5 Tundra.
    I have the Genisis Offroad Dual Battery system.
    I purchased the G Screen System.
    I had the cable run through the firewall then had a mount made for the G Screen.
    I got the G Screen Custom mount from Snivs Speed Shop.
    I did the install this past weekend.

    Now I can finally lift my truck up to a decent height without having to use a block of wood on the jack plate. That was getting old and kinda sketchy.

    We needed more covered storage, so I ordered a Bush Company Canopy. 1 piece welded aluminum. The locks are great. The glass seems pretty heavy duty. Best of all, it weighs 165 lb, which is the same as the TCUSA roll cover it replaced.

    You have more pics of the cap? Their website says it's 350 pounds. Too bad they don't make one for the DC. I like that cap a lot.

    I bought it here: https://overlandprovision.com/

    Says it’s 75kg. I double checked with Kevin about it.

    Three of us put it onto the truck (me on one side, wife and kid on the other). Really didn’t feel like 350 lb. I don’t have other pics yet.
    Maybe the 350lb is freight weight or something.

    First time to experience this for me (since owning this truck from May of this year), I performed a "Fuel Density Reset". It did the trick! Truck started right up this morning, no more hesitation. I never knew Tundra's came with "Flex Fuel". smh.
