    And they are on! I love how it totally transformed the look of the truck. No rubbing at all, but I had prepped with a BMC, and CB bumper shims/trimming the liners beforehand. Planning to install the bushwacker extenda-fenders when it stops raining so much and I can wash it.

    Congrats, great choice. As pretty as all that hardware being all black is makes me want to stop being lazy with it and dedicate the minimal free time I got to changing it out since it's been sitting in my garage for about a year lol.

    Are these LED or just brighter halogens? Also are they plug and play for a 2019 SR5 without factor LED or do they require an adapter?

    If I were a betting man, which I am - I’d bet I have significantly less free time than you do - and was able to knock this out pretty quick. You’ve seriously had one sitting in your garage for a year without putting it on?

    I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't bother to snap a pic before I put the skid plate back on but I got my front TRD sway bar installed today to match the rear. It seems like another nice improvement, not as drastic as adding the rear was but still worthwhile IMO

    I might just take u up on that bet. I've literally been working significantly more hours this past week than sleeping that's for sure. Im delirious at moment but think I recall pulling 4 all nighters and days out this past week. Shit this was just today. That's water shooting over 20 ft in the air right here with a bucket blocking it.
    20191222_142448.jpg


    And no I don't have a DB cover sitting in my garage for a year, I've had it on my truck more than a couple years, I'm talking about having to change all the hardware from chrome to black, which just hasn't bothered me enough to take the time to do. I was just saying how the all black hardware, rivets, hinges, ect looks good all black on yours.

    Still want to make that bet? I'll count up all the hours at work alone this week if u want. I'm pretty sure I figured out yesterday I was damn near 80 hours of overtime alone just this week, that was before getting called in today and putting in a handful more. So that's what, about 120 something hours just working out 144 hrs in a week lol.

    You won't regret the vent rings. If its cold heat that tape before sticking them on for a good adhesion.
    The trim piece is grey c/f vinyl wrap I put on. It matches well with the leather seats and dash leather pieces. Wrap, heat gun, patients, heat stretch mold repeat. Easy DIY and you can change it whenever you want for a fresh look.

    Swapped the bulbs in the license, 3rd brake light, and backups with VLeds yesterday. Thank goodness for Gorilla glue, because the cheap ass plastic Toyota uses in the tail light housing failed on the upper post, passenger side.

    The ones I have included an upgraded HID bulb, but even the basic one comes as HID I believe. It might be LED but I'm not 100%. And they are plug & play. There is an LED DRL harness for the white surrounds and the activation sequence that is fairly easy to install. The wires connect to protruding wires from the lights, with a fuse tap and 2 battery taps as well all leading to a central control. Not a bad job just wish the install directions were more clear.

    Looks awesome! I actually cut out the TUNDRA letters for my hood bulge last night but wasn't sure how'd they'd look and put them aside (also way too cold outside last night). After seeing yours I decided to put them on tonight and see how I like them. My grill surround is chrome so I think the darker surround with the black letters would look better like yours but we'll see tomorrow when the sun is up!

    These look like the simplest solution to that chrome. I'm just so OCD that I am afraid I'd not get them all aligned the same way and I would develop a tic when I noticed it. o_O

    I had the same worry. Good to go! So far so good and chrome is completely covered.

    This tread needs to be re-titled to "Shut up and take my money...". I'm trying to decided what color to select here. Curious if the red is a good match for the TRD trim in my rig.
