What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Been battling C. Diff, many bathroom visits, shoulder issues, and MRIs....but always find time to work on the Tundra. Nothing special, just painted the tow hooks to match the grill, bed lined the bolts, and had some help putting my engine RCI skid on. Still haven't rebuilt the front diff actuator, need to feel better for that project. Also finished up my camp/chase lights that go between the 2 spares.

 

Hey you left a rag on your rear bumper!

 

I was getting ready to come steal his house too =(

 

There is no comparison between the quality and light output of Baja Designs and my old el cheapo light bar

 

And it has started

 

Looks killer dude

 

Thanks man, much appreciated!

 

yeah once you start you can never stop... lol mine was debadged when i got it.

 

Really dig that sticker, where can I purchase one to copy you....I mean put one on my truck too?

 

Haha

 

I came up with the design idea based on a couple things I saw here and my wife created it in adobe (I think). Had a minimum order of 10 from sticker mule so I have some extras I can send out for $3 to cover my cost and shipping. Or potentially could just share the file and let others order for themselves. If you or others are interested definitely happy to share. Also created the same image but no mountain peaks in it.

 

Front Runner Outfitters | Cub Pack

They offer a slightly larger size, the Wolf Pack

 

Lookin sharp Jake!
It’s the hard to do mods that we do ourselves that are the most satisfying to finish.
Keep it up!

 

Thanks for the info Bailey. I have the wolf pack boxes and those looked very similar but weren’t quite the same. I need to pick up a couple of the cub pack now.
I’m enjoying following your adventures on your build thread, if not a little jealous. hahaha Keep the updates coming.

 

Little mod.

 

Continues...lol

 

Just sprayed this on my seat belts. Drivers belt is barely retracting anymore. This stuff works miracles! Good as new now. Even worked wonders on my ‘78 c10 belts that are 41 years old and destroyed!

 

no mas chrome...



air chucks for the bags need to find caps. or get some on board air...

I finally wired my ditch lights..Baja Designs Sports Squadron, non pro and they are amazing

 

Thank you! The next cheapest knockoff option was $200 more.

 

yeah i waited for ever for it and like the front bumper it had a little bit of fitment issues but we got it to mount pretty flush.

 

Cotdamn your truck makes me wet haha

 

Any grinding or egging of holes required? Or just not completely even gaps? I'm trying to figure out who they copied. I do like they put the DV8 logo behind the license plate.

A couple more questions if you don't mind me asking:
-The listing says 2x D-rings, but there don't appear to be any attachment points
-Aside from the fact the license plate lights aren't in the same location on yours as the one in the listing, do the stock license plate light wiring connectors plug into the ones that came with the bumper?

As per DV8, the bumper looks great for the cost paid. Any more pics would be appreciated!

 

no unfortunately it did not come with the d-ring mounts i think they just copied and pasted from the listing from the front bumper.
i did have to grind down the bumper side of the mounts to fit around the hitch frame. it still is not honorably straight but i can live with it. it does come with lights both licence and work lights (that i just wired into the tail lights) they were just stripped wires so no plug and play harness i cut and spliced with butt connectors and heat shrink.


driver side has a wider gap to the bed.



driverside right up on the welds of hitch frame before i grinded down.

passenger side still had some room but was already up against the top part of the mount.

still not to shabby for under 500$

 

Same here man, that front end is so clean! I'm hoping to see it in person on our next local SoCal trail run...hint hint @vq35721 ahaha
