What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

So, are you talking about doing the part forward of the shifter (I believe that's where you've hidden your wireless BT)??

 

Anyone got suggestions for a good 1 piece lug nut to replace the junky 2 piece. Been struggling to find a good option

 

I bought these a few years ago and they were great.

No - I’m trying to refine the 3-switch black that goes behind the shifter.
I think I’ve about got it.

This is raw off the printer except for chasing the holes in the underside with a tap. No sanding, no priming, no paint. I might hit it with a light coat of matte clear just to knock down a little of the shine, but otherwise good to go.

I tweaked the overall size just a touch to fill the space since there’s no build-up of primer and paint on it, and I’m using more common 6-32 screws to hold it from underneath.

now I just need to dial in a printed cut/drill template.

 

That's looking good... I have one of those from Abomb w/concealed screws also, but I need to track down something to use to fill in the space forward of the shifter and conceal the wireless carplay adapter. If I remember correctly, I think you did something with yours similar to what I was thinking of doing...

 

Saw a new 150 Tremor at the local Ford dealer yesterday, so I had to pull in for a quick comparison

Ok, I may have used the camera angle a bit to my advantage, but hey... A guy's gotta do what I guy's gotta do

 

I love the clean/factory look of that! Nice work!

 

I used the Scosche wireless charger setup but then customized it to hold an Apple magsafe charger.

I know which one I'd rather have!

 

Damn I ordered a grill and hood bulge from sparks and was informed that the hood bulge is on a worldwide back order. Checked a different source and was told the same thing. They said March at the soonest.

 

Was hoping to ditch the chrome and be paint matched.

 

Seriously. LOL. We have a vaulted ceiling in our front room where the tree goes, so we have room for a tall tree. Over the years we have made the mistake of getting a tree that wasn't necessarily too tall but to big around. One year it took up almost the whole room. We laughed every time we walked through the room because it was so ridiculous.

 

I went with these,

they look very similar to the ones @BlueRibbon4x4 has except I wanted black lugs

 

For a temp solution. You can use the hyper dip that is basically MGM. Use it on your chrome bulge until the painted one arrives. Might not be perfect, but will be a lot better than chrome.

 

I so need to do this!!

 

I love mine. I actually just upgraded the switchbacks on mine to the extreme version.

 

FINALLY installed a damned remote start. Only been 3 years. Used the

$200 Start-X Plug N Play Remote Starter Kit for Toyota Tundra 2018-2021 / Key Start

Amazon.com: Start-X Remote Starter For Toyota Tundra 2018-2021 | Plug N Play | Lock 3 Times to Remote Start | ZERO WIRE SPLICING! : Automotive
Installation was pretty easy. Even I was amazed how the underdash of these trucks isn't a rat's nest of cabling- wires, modules....etc .
Install took all of 1 hour on a rainy Saturday morning.
So far very pleased with this nice upgrade for winter.

 

That'll work; ordered!!!

 

where is this at?

 

Received the colorlugs I ordered on Black Friday.
For anyone who has installed these, did you prep them or the lug nuts at all?
How have they been holding up for you?

 

Um... no prep just popped them on. Now and then I put them in soapy water when I get a tire rotation and they get removed. Holding up great, I've scratched the sides trying to remove them but they are thick and it will take a long time before I'm concerned of them failing.
I think I've had them roughly 3 years and the truck is always outside.

 

This was at Claremont Toyota in California.

 

I had the same issue when I ordered mine. I ended up ordering one paint matched on ebay for $104. Its holding up fine so far. I did put PPF film on it after a month or so and I did replace the push pins on the back of it before installing it.

 

MESO Customs Minimalist Key Fob V2. Loving it!!

 

Mine have been great for years (Aug 2020 install), and come off/on every 5k for tire rotations.

 

She needs a Rav or Highlander anyway

 

Nope. Crappy Toyota design. I’m a ford truck man from here out!

 

bye

You do you, but the fords out here are worlds worse and their customer service is a joke. My neighbors were Ford fan boys and then they saw how much better everything went for me with Toyota and have switched. Every vehicle can/will have issues but its all about a company resolving it. But again, you do what you need to be happy with your vehicle. Shit costs too much to not enjoy it daily.

 

Not me man! I’m not going anywhere. Poking fun at the guy that can’t see the forest for the trees with his front end issues. New high torque Milwaukee for his birthday is my guess.

 

Ah

I didn't go back to the quoted message lol
