What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I’m busy all year round, l do understand that but the small amount of chrome on is truck is no big deal to me. My truck is definitely not a street princess, I drive on the beach and hunting trails, but nothing abusive. I would never get chrome wheels for sure I just can’t seem to waste the time removing the chrome from my truck. I will replace my grille with a black TRD Pro grille but that’s about it. My truck is super white so chrome is basically an accent to my truck. Looks fine to me and it easy to keep clean.

 

Zip ties and the same screws that are on back of grill.
As for cleaning when I take it to first road trip I’ll update to see how it’s for cleaning lol

 

Black will do the same thing to your truck! It is basically what you like. I like the blackout look so I did it. The time to remove the chrome is nothing. Emblems take 15 minutes at most. And my truck already came with the black handles. But it's what we like to do...tink with our trucks. And dechroming was one of the things most of us do. It's fun.

 

Picked up my new 2018 Tundra about two weeks ago. It’s my first Tundra after 2 Tacomas over the last 22 years.
Did a few mods:
Mountain bike rail mount
Rear differential breather extension
Lockerdown - heavy duty console safe
Lomax Bed topper

I threw my old Tacoma bed mat in the bed.

 

Ass! So jelly!

 

How do you like the lomax? I like how it's easily removable and sits so flat, but it doesn't look like it folds the last third to get the whole bed space?

 

Wash and wax. I’ve tried a ton of different products but I still keep going back to Meguiar’s.

 

If you need the whole bed space, you have to take it out.
I dig it. I had roll ups on the Tacomas and wanted the security of a hard cover.

 

I’m an old school muscle car guy, I have chrome ingrained in me. I paid over $500 to have me door handles rechromed on my 69 El Camino last year.

 

New wheel and tire set up. Went from a RW set up to 18x9 method NVs with 295 70 18 toyo at2s. Couldn't be happier

 

Thanks crazy what the right wheel and tire will do to a vehicle. Looks like a whole new truck. Plus the new tires make those 33s look tiny

 

So

So the biggest thing is you can't take it through a motorized car wash. It can only be hand washed.

Anything else is obvious, if you change parts ex. Bumber, logos, hood, they would need to be coated so it's best to make sure you do all the major mods first.

But other then that, you pay a hefty price for a good quality service!

Edit**
To answer the other part, it last foreever yes. The wear and tear would be if you did get a scratch, dent or chip. The 3rd package gives you lifetime warranty. Each warranty gives you an annual touch up.

 

Where can I get a set mini shovel mounts? They look great!

 

A third request, @Vizsla

 

I use Meguiar's wash and wax, follow with Meguiar’s pre wax polish and then use the Meguiar’s Liquid wax. Gives it a great shine even on white.

 

Jethus Cwithe Sean, your wheel wells are cleaner than the inside of my truck.

 

I’m pretty sure @Vizsla made those himself.

 

I think so too. If he knows there's demand, maybe he'll make more?

I think he made the fire extinguisher mount, but did he make the mini shovel mounts too?

 

For sure he made the extinguisher mounts. He had a little group buy on those. I’m almost certain he made the shovel mounts too. They really are purty. My man’s got skills.

 

I just hosed them off and applied waxaddict. A few weekd ago i did wash them with soap and a mit and used 303, but they didnt look this good. One day when I have time I'll hit them with some simple green and a brush and waxaddict. I can't believe how good they look, I impressed myself haha. And they are cleaner than the inside of my truck too Joon

 

Every new truck I buy, I tell the dealer to take all dealer badging off car.
It’s never even questioned.

 

I like those wheels in 20x10 -24 but method don’t make it for our truck

 

TCT Wrap time

 

It's super easy, did mine as well. Just have to get a big enough screen. There's perfect holes in the plastic supports to put the zip ties through and if you're not looking for it then it's so tough to see from more than 10 feet away.

 

Looks sharp and clean de-badged with AMP boards!

 

Did you detail fender wells, I thought I was bad, I use Chemicalguys

 

I remember those days, long gone on mine

 

Something different, I just wanted chrome sides blacked out, 2 layers TCT Wrap

 

RAFF !!!....AWESOMENESS
