Do you know if the painted bumper caps sit on-top of regular chrome bumper caps, or are they their own thing bolted onto the bumper? I tried looking, but cannot tell without taking things apart. Asking because I just picked up a used "Nightshade" Tundra with painted bumper caps on the front and rear. I am wondering if the "painted" caps are just a 3M on-top of chrome. Yes - I am a chrome originalist, haha. Only got the Nightshade because it was the right color, mileage, very clean, and the price was right.
Not interested. “Essential” mods. All about color matching. Not hating just different kicks for different dicks. Will admit it modernizes the truck immensely
My bumper caps arrive today. Cant wait to install. May be a while. Its below zero in iowa. Awesome MOD. Still cant believe the set is almost 600 bucks tho!. Way over priced for 4 pieces of plastic. But will complete my truck.
Those bumpers bends like putty if they get touched and you’d have been better off getting some burly replacement bumpers for a nominal cost more. And . Function over fashion counts on a full size truck.
Hi Rob, I have the exact same Truck as you. I dont agree with all the mods you said. 1, the side steps. I would rather go with. The N-Fab wheel to wheel. 3 steps. Especially for your double cab. As opposed to the CrewMax . They look more aggressive and pissed off. 2) would be the Line X. I had some light scratches in my bed after the first year. But I figured why do a line-x when I was going to go with a folding or retractable Bed Cover. So I would rather do that jump. Since it also protects your personal belongings. Also allows for more space on long trips, to where you can fit 5 people inside your truck and put all luggage in the back, even if its raining. If you get a low profile, with a matte black finish it looks great. Also improves Gas Mileage ( no brainer )
what is difference in front bumper caps with sensors that you took it to dealer for installation? I have ordered front caps from Sparks parts and thought it would be easy after watching your video for non sensor replacement.
When you have the sensors, the “cap” replaces the existing chrome pieces. A much more involved project be just sticking caps over the chrome pieces. I have a video of it on the channel.
do you have a video of replacing front caps with sensors, I watched the one of replacing front caps without sensors. I also watched hood bulge and grill replacement and replaced both I am de chroming a 2020 limited
For what you paid for your front and back end caps, grill, color coded bulge, ect it probably wouldve just been cheaper for you to pick up a trd sport and atleast gotten the front and back sway bar links and bilstein suspension for free 🤣
Sorry, TRD exhaust sounds like you’re flying a helicopter at 45 mph.
Lol!😬
Good!
Love helicopters
You forgot to add a bedcover.
All good except the preditor steps.
These are stock mods, I would start with that.
Nicely done... both the video and the truck!

They come both ways.
@@RobMotive - so I understand...you are saying that if I heat gun the painted cap to loosen off...there is a chrome cap underneath?
If that’s the style cap on yours. There may also be a couple of screws.

I’d definitely wait until it’s warmer! Not fun to work in those temps!!😬

thanks rob!
Where are the 40 inch tires
The bush bars all the extra lights
800 hp engine
Different grill like a grumper
Tire lug spikes
Still looks same
Huh?
What rims and tire/size do you have on your Tundra?
They were stock tires and wheels👍
I guessed 4 of the 5 correct. Guess I’ve followed you too long. Ha. Always good content and very informative. Keep on truckin!!!
Lol!! That’s too funny!! Thanks Jason👍
Rob Modern ;)
So you went from a Crewmax to a double cab, eh? I’m about to pick up a CM, curious what changed your mind?
Just something different to try. I do prefer the CM👍
Trd dual exhaust for me. Wife agrees as well. Always a plus.
Absolutely. Best sounding IMO👍
I don’t like the look. I like the look of a diesel . 6in single exhaust
Looks so clean
I just watched the Most Regretted Mods vid, the predator side steps are in both vids... failed the test of time evidently.
They have their place….just not on my truck👍
I had to get the TRD Pro so it wouldn't have all that chrome. I couldn't stand that.
I can relate 😬
I have a 2018 Platinum and I’m definitely interested in the dual exhaust and the bedliner.
The dual TRD is a perfect match for the Tundra👍
How did you get the hood bulge and the grille, I love it!
“HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS!”
Those aren't mods, they are enhancements lol
Did you add a lift or level kit?? If so which one?? Im a subscriber and a new Tundra owner!!
Congrats on the new Tundra! Here's what I have: th-cam.com/video/2gRtN8QeeHs/w-d-xo.html
Didn’t I watch this video the other day? It says it was published today, but I swear I have already watched it.
I had it up briefly then had an issue and had to take it down. I corrected it and released it today👍
Multi million dollar house and drive a tundra? Respect.
Huh?
They don’t carry a lot of things for 2021 tundras
Nope...Everything is Tacoma focused .

Gotta go with what you like and serves your needs. I can respect that👍
Does anyone have a parts list for the dechroming?
Just watch my videos😁
Everyone get the UV. Bed liner coat it’s worth it
How so?
You take more care of your truck then you do your self. Never too late man
Huh🤔
Thanks
Sparks parts takes forever to ship even when you pay for the faster shipping. Had to wait a month to get my parts
Hmm...I’ve never had any trouble with them. Unless of course the item is back ordered like the wireless charger tray.
@@RobMotive Hopefully that's all it was still have a list of parts I still want to buy from them

My 2020 plat came with the trd exhaust and all of the color matching - it came with a drop in liner though. And the black and chrome side step.
That’s great. Almost no chrome😬
Nice man. I got me a 2023 tundra platinum hybrid model
