What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Looks nice. Now I suggest the quick and easy spray of clear matte on the shift panel to eliminate the glare.

 

Still running your Toytecs?

 

They are just stock ones, I spray painted everything with SEM39143,
Just like @Tundra234
Also I just opt out of AJT Designs and put that fund towards the 12volt solution remote start

 

Looks great - how many coats and any sanding?

 

Little sand to get the grim off and used about 2.5 cans of it for vent rings and this whole center and basically you see everything blacked out

 

not a bad idea i will try that next!

 

Pretty much the same way I did it, use a prybar to get the LCA out of the way, the last time I had a LCA tool from Astro, Worked like a charm. The hardest part for me was putting the sway bar link back in the LCA. Just unbolted the sway bar from the frame the last time. Of course had to buy a bigger Torque wrench for the LCA ball joint bolts

 

Just matte spray on that? I did a horrible job on the inside black part lol I prob need to respray when i get a chance

 

Yep...just a couple of light coats.

 

. Or boot it

 

It's matte clear.

 

How did it not cover the letters?

 

Because it's a transparent clear coat.

 

Thanks for the idea. Add that to the cart.

 

Looking good, did you paint, apply a wrap type material or cover panels to the dash?

 

Took it all apart and painted it with SEM spraypaint

 

Took off the stock chrome mirror caps and replaced with some color matched ones. $30 from Amazon. More than happy with the result especially for the price!

 

Did a quick fitment test on my new set of snow chains, they forgot to send my cam-lock tool when they shipped so will have to do this again here this weekend and then do a test drive and check clearance with remote reservoir and banjo fittings on my Bilstein 5160’s. Right now there’s only about 1” clearance and that makes me a little nervous, I might have to rotate the main shock body and find a new location to mount the remote reservoir.

 

What brand of chains?

 

Tirechain.com
They have just about any type of tire chain you can think of, I got the twisted link just for a little smoother ride and clearance (opposed to v-bar or square link)

 

Nice, never heard of that paint. I assume it does well with plastic? Did you have to sand and/or primer 1st?

 

Won’t need primer, but you definitely need to scuff the surface or it will delaminate later. It will look good now, but in the future it won’t. Use #0000 steel wool.

 

Yes sir. I was going to upgrade to Kings but the Toytecs are still good for now. I will upgrade when that time comes. Hope all is well @Tundra234 !!!

 

I need to call them. I found this on my passenger side.

 

Yes you do.

 

I’m beyond pissed, but I’m glad my wife and 2 boys are safe.

It wasn’t our fault. Wife was driving, another car was merging on the other side of the road and another vehicle pitted that car - causing it to veer into our lane of travel.

All airbags deployed. It’s totaled.

 

Dang! Glad everyone is safe.

 

Damn man sorry to see this. Glad everyone is ok.
