Silver Sky Metallic picture thread

Silver Sky Metallic is just too hot. Any snow just melts off.

 

Got a lot of stuff done over the last month. Pro headlights and Pro grille with painted hood bulge and surround, OEM LED fogs, and black bumper shellz. Also got the Chemical Guys kit for Christmas, so gave her a good cleaning and winter wax.

Got some chrome delete on the interior done as well. If we get any warm days soon, Plastidipping the wheels is next on my list along with adding the red TRD stickers on the wheel cap if they ever show up!

 

Looks great, and a lot like mine will when I finally swap my Pro grill in. For your wheels, maybe consider the TVD decals before going with Plastidip. Takes some patience to install but IMO looks much better than Plastidip.

 

Thanks man! Dude I am terrible at putting decals on. Funny you mention it, because I tried putting on the TVD vent ring decals this afternoon and it was a disaster lol. I just couldn’t get them looking right and without bubbles so I ended up quitting after 2 attempts. Are the wheels any easier?

 

Spent the afternoon in the woods taking down deer stands. My FIL made a video of me climbing one of the hills.

 

Did you use the wet method or just try to stick them on? I installed the little tiny TVD Tundra stickers under the radio and I just used a q-tip to put a little water on each sticker and where it was going. Wet it good and slide it around until its perfect and then don't touch it until the water dries. I don't have the patience, skill or eyesight to try it as just a dry decal.

As far as the wheel decals, I haven't done it but I imagine the same process applies. Should be a little easier because its a bigger decal/surface area. It does seem very tedious, but I have a serious aversion to Plastidip after my last truck. Tried to remove it from a set of wheels and the grill and it basically doesn't come off if its been on there for more than a year or so baking in the sun. I ended up just scrapping the grill and had the wheels blasted and powder coated instead of spending 15 days peeling that stuff off.

 

I used the dry method, hadn’t heard of the wet method til now! Might have to do some more research on those wheel decals and save the Plastidip for the exterior chrome decals.

 

Here is my 2021 1794 that I picked up 10 days ago (after 7 yrs of dreaming and 21 years of driving minivans -which I love)

Started mods by getting console safe and waiting on the Qi-charger. Open to suggestions on mods

 

Former multiple minivan owner here also, which i also loved. Enjoy the Tundra !!

 

Congrats on the truck! You picked the best color lol.

One of the easiest mods to do that you will use all the time is to install the driver side grab handle. That was the first mod I did on mine.

And if you don’t have led’s, save up and get the oem led headlights and fog lights. I just did mine and it’s a world of difference from the stock halogen.

 

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

 

Heh the road was pretty much ice until I pulled off right there in the snow.

 

Mods are a personal thing, each person has their own take on what they like. But some easy ones that most might agree upon ... window tint, bedcover, wheels ... maybe dechrome.

 

. . . and driver's side grab handle.

 

Just got my new wheels and tires today. Looks like a completely different truck.

 

Looks awesome! Very nice truck!
Welcome to the SSM club! What suspension are you running?

 

Welcome to the club! Sweet truck and house too! What’s your wheel/tire/suspension setup?

Nice! Feel free to post more pics of that bad boy!

 

The tires really set it off

 

2021

 

Looks good, but when I read your signature, I couldn't help but notice that your rims are wrapped around your tires?

 

Fixed to make sense.

 

How'd you make a gif that long? Originally a video clip?

Looks like fun!
