What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Where did you get the color matched grill and bulge?

And how did you go about the TSS system?

 

The first post in here has loads of good info, and should answer your grille questions. https://www.tundras.com/threads/ultimate-oem-toyota-parts-thread.10707/

 

I'll look up and PM you the info. I bought the hood bulge separately, from a different supplier. I'll try to find you the discount codes I used also.
The TSS is a easy few bolts to undue and relocate to the new grille radar cover.

 

Loaded up roots and stump parts to recycle. Used a tarp as some sap was still oozing on some parts.

 

What paint is that?! Does it closely match the Cav. blue? That looks good.

 

De-badged and had the windows tinted.

 

so does that make your truck ride rougher assuming that you are sitting on the bump stops when the trailer is attached?

 

The ride is exactly the same as before! Wife and kids didn’t even notice the difference. I wanted an alternative to installing airbags to combat the dip when towing.

 

Hi, Jerry70,

It appears to be an exact match or at least I think so. I use a local paint supply store that mixes our color code (8W2) in rattle cans for just under $20 bucks a can. It is supposed to have really durable acrylics so we will see, but so far I am more than pleased with it.

Thank you for inquiring, great day!

 

Calvary blue tow hooks incoming

 

Can't help but laugh a little at the erectile dysfunction ad. haha
But I like the blue man...gonna look good when on! Hope it's not too hard

 

Hi, willix,

Those look great! Can’t wait to see them installed!

Nice job and welcome!

 

I installed my cam last year and ran the power to the fuse box but I came across this little gem on the TundraCrew FB site. I am going to install it later this week. Wish I knew about it before.

$33 Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (12-pin for '15-'23 Toyota Tacoma. Also Compatible with Select Sienna, Honda, and More), Connects to Rearview Mirror, Built-in USB Power Source, Easy to Install

Thanks! I'll look into a local body shop.

 

That’s awesome. I saw someone else on this forum spliced into the mirror power, but I wasn’t comfortable doing that. This is a great alternative though.

Wish I found that sooner too, lol.

 

That's really cool. But does it work if you have Safety Sense?

 

I took one of those E.D pills and knocked out to tow hooks in 15 minutes but could barely fit under the truck. I’m getting rock lights installed in my truck bed and under the truck this weekend. Nervously optimistic.

 

See this is why I like u guys on this forum. You never ever miss anything and all got a witty sense of humor sprinkled in with a little busting chops.

That plus it seems like theres a mature crowd in here. Seems like most have been raised right in here.

 

Agreed. Those Tundra groups can be full of immature asshats.

 

With the help of that ad, odds are it is going to be.

 

Added a little colour to my foot wells front and rear...

 

Looks awesome!

 

interesting, didn’t know you could manage ride height with bump stops....will have to check into it.

 

Thanks mate!! I am very pleased with how this kit turned out for the $$$...my
Last truck had a light blue led in each footwell that just added a touch to it at night which I loved so I had to do it to the tundra too lol

 

Not sure, I have a 2015 Platinum and I dont think it is equipped with Safety Sense.

 

I put Timbren bump stops on my ‘08 Tacoma and they worked great when I had a load, but if I was empty and hit a speed bump or rut that caused the frame to hit the bump stop it was a not pleasant.

 

YES! operation de-chrome FTW

 

So the suspension riding on the bump stop under the load was fine but hitting a bump that bottomed out on the bump stop was harsh....is that what you are saying?

 

It was introduced in 2015 and made standard across all trims in 2018. Being a Platinum it most likely has it.

 

It really doesn’t manage ride height unless you’re towing something.
