What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Waxed the truck today after falling out of love with the Bead Maker I've been using the past six Months. Thought i was imagining it at first, but this stuff attracts dirt like a magnet, and leaves water spots underneath the coating, not sure how, but it does. Its a shame because i thought it had good reviews.

 

Used it to haul all the shit to my wedding. Then I noticed in the wedding photos it was in the background as my wife was walking out. Double win...LOL

 

Congratulations

 

Congratulations!!

 

Finish installing Aries bull bar

 

Nice.

 

Congrats.

 

I've been using bead maker for a hot minute. Noticed nothing of which you described.

Playing devils advocate here so don't get mad. Could it be the wash job prior to use?

This summer was the first time my truck has dried without a micro fiber towel because its silly hot. I used bead maker and its flawless no water spots (with the sun drying the truck it was nothing but a water spot)

 

I'm not sure why they don't just put this in every truck from the factory, but I installed one of the underseat storage bins.

Previously I had a small plastic container full of ratchet straps and a tow strap floating around with a spare jacket, first aid kit, and some work stuff all jammed under the seat. This certainly keeps things more secure and organized.

 

Bilstein and wheels installed.

 

Received my Husky Weatherbeater mats. What a great fit! Love them already.

 

I hardy ever get mad, this forum is a great place to exchange ideas and experiences. I doubt it has anything to do with the wash job because i made sure it was completely dry using a quality micro-fiber towel, and this is the second time i had to deal with the spots. Last time i completely stripped the Bead Maker off because i figured i applied it wrong only to now have the same outcome. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but i can't figure out what that might be. If you look at the vids Bead Maker says you can apply it over any other wax/sealant. Hope you have better luck with it then i did.

 

What kind of paint did you use for this?

 

did you order directly from husky? I put in an order about 4 days ago or so just wondering how long I'll be waiting for them. Thanks!

 

Waterport. Ready for the beach now!

 

Did this to match the truck.

 

Sweet match!

wish I could add the all in one fob to mine... but regardless yours looks great!

 

Thanks. Getting the transponder out of that fob was a bit of a bear. It ain’t easy.

 

I’ve seen it’s difficult. But it’s not an option for pre18 guys

at least not that I know of

 

waiting here for a toyota wizard to hopefully prove you wrong... please...toyota wizards...where are you?

 

AJT Designs has an option for the 07-17 models.

 

I already own that!

waiting for an all-in-one setup

 

Interesting. I use multiple different products, and for the past year or so have used Beadmaker repeatedly on 3 different vehicles with great results. One vehicle Gray, one red, and one white. I wash only with soft water because AZ water is terribly hard and the car dries super fast. I still have water spotting at times - that Beadmaker seems to resolve...

 

Less than a full week. It took from 8/14 to today. Weird thing is their site still asks me to wait 5-10 days for tracking. They arrived today!

 

Hopefully it will let me take advantage of some "dead space" in the bed behind the cab!

 

Count me in, let's put it to good use. I'll bring the tortillas!

 

Used the VHT for plastic paint

 

Please report out on that tray. I saw it when I was dreaming about a Diamondback many moons ago and couldn't make up my mind if I liked it. Curious if it feels solid, how well it fits, etc.

Congratulations! Great pic too...that would be on my desk at work.
