Love the build! I have a white 2010 that’s a very similar look 😎

[@upperleftnorthwest4278]

Thank you! Ive been wanting to build something like this for a while.

Check out the Gamiviti accessories dash mount so you RAM mount your Carplay unit and adjust height position so not mounted so high up and better cable management routing via center top speaker down pass the vents and out trough panel under vehicle start button.That is how I routed y cables in my LC 200. Gamivit has a video where Tim shows installation and cable routing.

Ill check it out thanks. I did buy a new mount for the headunit that uses a suction mount but it lowers the screen down to the dash level, however im not satisfied with how it looks. I also dont want to shell out $500 for a apple carplay oem integration so i might just forgo it altogether & use my phone as primary screen.

@@upperleftnorthwest4278 I have one of these Amazon Carplay units as well bbut using the Gamiviti dash mount and ram arms I can have the screen much lower. It is a hit or miss having the screen up high or lower blocking the main screen. If you get an module for carplay the original screen resolution is no bueno.

@@upperleftnorthwest4278 I also do not like the CarPlay oem integration because then I have to use the old resolution of the LC 200.

The diesel option would have made the build even better

[@upperleftnorthwest4278]

@@therealbuttercup5841 definitely wouldve went for that but they dont offer that here in the states

[@Mil-SpecWatches]

The older Tundras had 17s steelies that fit the 200 Series.

[@upperleftnorthwest4278]

Which model Tundra? I couldnt find a set from the base tundra work truck so i had to settle for 4 spares. The overseas had a 5 spoke steelie in a 17 but theyre too expensive

[@Mil-SpecWatches]

@@upperleftnorthwest4278Ah they are 18s not 17s, I was wrong. Part #:STLTU036U20

[@Luka_WiFi]

diesel?

[@upperleftnorthwest4278]

5.7 gas. They dont offer diesel LCs in the US
