dibble9012's 05 Tundra DC SR5 - Page 2

Replaced the console bulbs with LED's. Instead of just buying replacement LED bulbs I got the console retrofitted with LED's behind all the buttons/dials. The buttons are all green while the dials are white. I stayed with the green because there were several places where the color could not be changed due to the plastic being tinted green. It's a deep forest green now instead of the light green that comes stock. The second picture represents the color the best.

Well this was an unexpected 'mod' hahaha. Not one that I wanted. A wood chipper truck ran into me in a parking lot.

Here's it all fixed

I did get a limited bumper to replace it, one less piece of chrome!!
I am really impressed with the quality of the repairs, the paint is flawless. The limited bumper was less expensive than the chrome one.

What's great about Nationwide is all the repairs are covered as long as I own the truck. So any rust, any bubbling, etc will be fixed no charge. So far I am very happy with the quality of the repairs, as well as the service and professionalism that Nationwide has shown. I still need to go to the line-x shop to get the bed done, they wanted to at least give the truck back to me until they had a line-x appointment.

Right now my project is an HID retrofit. Instead of repeating everything here, I'll link to my tundrasolutions post.

Installed a RainTracker RT50A automatic headlamp and wiper control.

The auto headlamp switch took a couple of minutes to wire to my auto headlamp controls and install in the steering column. Now my install looks and operates completely like it would if Toyota offered it! I tested the RainTracker auto wipers last night in the rain, they work perfectly. It's really neat to have them adjust speed automatically when passing a truck, or if the rain is blowing around. The auto lights are a little too sensitive for my taste (they turn on sometimes if I am driving away from the sun). I highly recommend this system!
