What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Not too bad.. does lose a little bit from the grille but. still pretty bright...
Tried to get a straight on shot but whites out the pic. I'll have to update with pics from inside the cab at night

 

Stopped at the mail box and picked up this bad boy that came in today.

 

Replaced zinc “bead lock” bolts with black ones.



Installed Leer Ricochet tonneau cover.

 

Thanks!

 

Installed my Supernova's this morning. Fairly easy installation after watching the Headlight Revolution Youtube video of installation on a Gen 3 Tundra. The only additional thing I would add is be sure you have some nylon zip ties to secure the ballast/relay that comes with it. I wrestled with that as much as anything in the entire process.

 

Did the under seat storage mod. Went to Ross and got these 3 cake pans and proceeded to cut them in.






Installed Auxbeam NF-S1 fanless led bulbs in headlights and fog lights. Very impressed with light output and excellent beam pattern. Just like stock with brighter light.

 

Very innovative with the pans. Nice job

 

First time taking her out to the dirt. Might as well start the year off right!

 

Got some Husky liners for Christmas. The stock rubber fronts just weren’t cutting it.

 

They were so tiny and the dead pedal area was getting dirt ground into it. These fit really well and they stay in place nicely. I’m happy with them.

 

I bought the black bolts that Method makes from Summit Racing. I think I may paint the zinc bolts 3R3 red from the same can we used to paint my door handles.

 

Would love to see it.

 

I like the underseat storage. As soon as the carseats come out I'm doing this.

 

With the bed all folded up does it press against the window?

 

What did those run you? I am looking for something easy like this to install as well, were they pretty easy to swap?

 

Yes. There is some foam that protects the cover and the window. It rests against the window and has little "kickstands" to hold the cover in place.

 

Picked up my wheels from the local powder coating shop and my tires got delivered today! Waiting on one order to come in and off to the shop it goes to have the following installed: 6112's, 5160's, Spidertraxx 1.25" spacers, Coachbuilder 1" rear shackle, Coachbuilder shim, TRD front sway bar, TRD Rear Sway bar, Black TRD Pro look wheels, Nitto Terra Grapplers 295/70/18. Also have color matched door handles and mirror caps going on in the near future!

Planning on starting a build thread this week to post all the pictures!

 

So easy and so simple to do. The pans were $6 each. I just couldn't see myself paying $225 for ESP kit and the storage space isn't that big. Doing it this way gives you options on the size you want to go. I was thinking about going a little bigger in the middle but decided to stay all the same. Place the pan face down where you want it. Once you have the pan where you want it, outline it with a paint marker or some chalk. I used a box cutter. Cut 1/4" inside of the outline so it's not too big and should fit really good. Now this may not be for everyone but to secure it I took 1/8" drill bit in 2 places and pop riveted it down. Won't hurt anything or leak. The foam is very thick so you'll have to keep slicing all the way around to get to the bottom. I then too a big screw driver and broke out a piece in the corner of the cut out so I could get my hand under the big piece and put out the entire foam basically as one piece. Make sure you have a shop vac and trash bag handy. The foam will be eveywhere.

 

Great mod. Any issues with the pans rattling?

 

No rattling at all. Won't happen if they're pop riveted to the floor. If you don't want to do that then you can just use the carpet cut out and place underneath it. I prefer mine to be secured to the bottom so it's not bouncing out of the cutout and also looks better..

 

That's a helluva list!

 

Check out this post I made:

I basically "made" my cutouts as I needed.

 

Put a 2019 pro grille on. Next is bulge...Baby steps

 

Got a readylift 3/1 installed and an alignment.

 

I installed the center console gun safe this morning. This afternoon, I replaced the dome and map lights with VLED. I’m very happy with both.

 

I took the little useless shelf out of the glove box. Now you can actually get something in there. Not much but it's better than it was.

 

Interesting. Hadn't thought about that.
How is it held in place. I haven't looked at it that much. May go look.

 

Got the latest care package from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc @ragofabrication @Baja Designs
Rago rail pod brackets and extenders
Squadron sports and s2 sports and amber lenses to finish off the sides and backwards lighting
And some sweet Baja swag packs to start the patch collection

1"bora wheel spacers to complete the puzzle for the 295/70/18 Cooper STT Pros Ive been staring at for over a week

 

Nice!
