    Sorry I didnt film it guys ... well taking the steering wheel apart is super easy thanks to @nk1794 . He posted an awesome super easy to follow video and recommend subscribing to his channel because he is a beast at making how to tundra videos:



    After removing the gray panels on each side its easy. Just turn both pieces over and there are 3 screws holding the buttons that have to be removed on each panel from the rear. After that you can remove the buttons and you are left with two gray panels. As far as doing the vinyl wrap, well I purchased it from here:

    https://www.aliexpress.com

    Search: "3d carbon fiber vinyl"

    Scroll down and choose this one:

    1.jpg

    (choose the 3D black) and is super cheap. Took about 3 weeks to get here but you get so much you can do your whole interior. I am sure you can buy compatible Carbon Fiber wrap from Amazon and receive it sooner.

    Wipe the gray panels with alcohol and cut the vinyl leaving at least 2 inches extra around the sides. As far as wrapping ... well all I can say is practice makes perfect. I started on practice plastic pieces around the house. Oh ... get a heat gun as well and watch tons of youtube videos on how to wrap. Thats how I learned and slowly am getting better. Not a pro ... And I highly respect those who do this for a living because it is definitely a trade skill that takes lots of practice.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers

    Tin

    I updated the Mrs 4Runner and my Cement TRD Off Road Tundra’s key fob to some AJT design key fobs. Also replaced the TRD OR center caps with red TRD caps.

    What is the difference between your LED DRL Kit and Venom Inc’s DRL LED Kit? They look identical, but price is much different.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071SDDTGK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    If you look at the installation instructions, it tells you to bend out the three support bars so the bar can fit behind them, or cut them out completely, and that you pretty much get rid of the black grill assembly that sits in the hood bulge. However, I cut out the three support bars (WHILE leaving the mounting holes for the clips...don't cut those holes out or you'll have nothing on the top for the hood bulge assembly to fasten back into!!!), since there are multiple other support bars behind it. Then I removed the black grill from the rest of the black plastic assembly that you're supposed to fully remove, and epoxied it to the hood bulge assembly.

    For a more detailed representation on how to retain the black grill for the hood bulge when adding an LED bar, and good pics on how to trim out the support bars without removing the holes for the mounting clips, sorry to quote another forum, but this guy did a great job. You gotta scroll way down in his post to see pics of how he retained the black grill insert (which takes a while because the forum is HEAVILY ad-supported), but there are some great pics:

    I installed the PrInSu CabRack last Wednesday before heading out to Overland Expo East for a few very muddy days of showing off our company's products. Saturday and Sunday were nice but chilly, but the damn rain on Friday and what all those feet did to the field...damn.
