What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Haha tnx Adam, your name change keeps getting me.

 

Credit where it's due. You make MGM look good. The name gets me, too!

 

Lol ty sir. I must admit though, the amount of money I've put into this truck it almost has no choice but to look and perform pretty good.

Besides replacing the tires, brakes and rotors, shackles and battery recently I haven't put anymore money into it, simply just enjoying it. Don't get me wrong I always have my eyes open for a deal on my list of wants and will strike if it pops up, however I'm pretty content with the way the truck sits and it wouldn't even bother me if I never bought anything else for it. Knowing myself I will admit that will never happen though.

The factory cargo bed lights just weren’t cutting it with the Swingcase toolboxes.

 

Installed RB20 steps on the new truck today. Liking them so far, but need to spend some more time getting them lined up perfectly. They're super solid though and way heavier duty than I expected. Really impressed.

Still need to install my bedslide in this truck, waiting for the body shop to finish painting my old topper, then I'll swap those and get my awning back on there. The grey topper on the truck is for sale if anyone is in the market. Need to get some new fog lights and hoping to find some new floor mats too.

 

Something about your truck...
it always looks so damn tough.

 

Interested in the grey canopy, where are you located?

 

Im in Colorado. Unless you’re craving a road trip, probably a little far for you

 

looks good, hole looks clean. I eyeballed a 1 inch oval mine and used about three cutoff wheels on a Dremel tool

it turned out though

 

Where are you located

 

Two posts above yours. He's in Colorado.

And here are a few extra pictures for you to better idea of what they look like.

The bottom one is from the dealership a few days before I purchased it.

 

Chris make a trip to NJ with the topper lol, it's an idea I've been kicking around, I think I still love my diamondback too much still, but also like the idea of having the extra height. I'll even give you a brand new set of bedslide mini kix boxes I have sitting in my garage. Good luck with your sale, you guys out in like Colorado and California seem to always be selling good stuff, NJ ehhhh not to much.

 

Lol the gas for the trip would cost more than the topper. I used to not be a huge fan of toppers but now with dogs and kids and stuff, they’re just super functional. The bed slide is a game changer with them so that I’m not constantly crawling up in the bed. I also like the windoors just to be able to reach in and grab stuff

 

Those look really nice

 

Next project dual batteries !!!

 

Installed some ARK front wheel well splash guards. Much thicker than my beat up OEM ones! Now I need to clean up the rest of the plastic in my wheel wells.

 

they are oem Toyota caps!

 

Do the bed stiffeners make a difference?

 

Compressor mount and IR ditch lights and brackets. Will be doing some night vision driving soon.

 

Love the SSO front end. Still on my list for upgrades. Truck is dope bro.

 

Did this a while ago, but installed a CM31 dashcam



And yesterday, I installed a rear sway bar - thanks @CorsoTundra!

 

this will be one of my first mods. How much of a pain was it to run a wire to the battery?

 

It's not too bad, I used some bigger zip ties and dropped the spare tire to route it more easily.

 

I hear ya man. I was only busting your chops especially since I haven't committed to getting 1, just kicking idea. I'd never make you drive that far unless I knew for sure I was going to buy it. I'm also aware I'd have to come bigger than a pair of bedslide minikix for u to make the trip lol.

I agree 100%. I use to think they were only for old men. Well I must be getting old because I'm actually not against the look anymore. I already got the bedslide so I understand the function of that. The exact benefits you mentioned like dogs, kids, bikes, sports, ect. That extra height is a game changer. Instead of trying to squeeze in 2 kids bikes barely fitting under my cover I'd be able to literally just throw in back. Instead of spending a half a day yesterday with a shop vac sucking up dog hair, he'd have his own spot back there. In a pinch it's also another sleeping option.

Dont get me wrong I love this setup and it's been working for me. However there are times due to height of bedslide and bed cover I'm fighting to get things back there. I've even had to use the rear of the cab over the bed because I didn't know in advance i was picking up something with height so didnt remove the cover before and didn't want to tie on top. I'm not 100% sold on a topper but it's growing on me, I definitely see the benefit and the looks are growing, perhaps it's even a bit of function over form, damn I really must be getting old Haha

 

And for those like myself who aren't keen on reading a bunch of words like my last post.

Just took these before it rains again.

 

Love seeing Pics of your truck. Just an all around bada$$ looking Tundra!

 

Thank u gentlemen and thanks to the rest of everyone else too.

 

Even though you took off your pitbulls, can we still ask what tires you're running after every one of your posts?
