3rd Gen Accessory Thread

My bolts definitely were not plastic, and another forum member split a socket open trying to get his bolts off. Glad you finished your install, and it looks great!

 

Not plastic just cheap ass aluminum

 

Damn! Sorry to hear that. The bolts are fairly soft aluminum. I almost cross threaded one when I went to reinstall the bolts. My brain fart for using my impact right out of the gate instead of starting them by hand first. Thankfully, I have a tap & die set that I used to clean up the threads.

 

Looks awesome, what size tire? Does the TRD OR come with the flip down front air dam?

 

My SR5 TRD OR does not have it. The Limited trim with the TRD OR package all seem to have it, based on several YT vids I've seen. I haven't seen it on any SR5s yet. Not saying they don't have it, just that I haven't seen any with it.

 

Thank you. I just saw an SR5 on dealer lot with it (non-TRD).
I like the idea of the air dam but not going to stay on for an offroad build. I'm getting an SR5 TRD OR as well.

 

Any one know what about color matching the chrome? How do I find out the exact paint code for the midnight black?

 

Here is what I had and what I went with. Also need to note that I got a 2inch front level kit installed before installing the tires.

 

Code should be on door stickers

 

Added these red TVD vinyls on the front, let me know what you guys think.

 

I picked up the TRD insert in red for the front grill. What did you do the Toyota "T" in the grill? I'm guessing you wrapped it or painted it? I haven't seen any overlays yet for the 2022 size.

 

I have the TSS package, and the "T" was already blacked out thankfully.

 

Ahh. Cool. I didn't realize they were still doing the TSS package for the 3rd Gen. Do you have the under-seat storage? I recall they eliminated that in the TSS packages for the 2.5 Gen Tundras. Toyota does give without taking away somewhere. lol

 

Lol yea I have the under-seat storage. The TSS packages for previous gens had chrome, 3rd gen does not thankfully.

 

Hopefully I’ll be color matching soon and I’ll add the red TRD badge to the front.

 

This is the size I'm thinking about going with because @bigjuice is running that size on the stock 18" wheels at stock height with no rub. My only reservation is that I really want to go 35's. This is why I'm thinking about trying to go to 35x12.50x18 and see how much rubbing I get. Hopefully, not too much but I guess we'll see. I haven't seen anyone try to cram 35's on the stock 18's at stock height yet.

I'm going to install the RC leveling kit before too long (it's on the way), but I'm holding off on that until my local shops get the alignment specs. It'll probably be a couple of months before I get around to that, but I'm greedy and want to slap 35's on it ASAP. haha.

 

I’m sure it will look awesome. I was told 35’s would be to wide for my stock 18 inch rims so that’s why I went with that size.

 

Funny update. I just checked the DIscount Tire site...not my tire dealer of choice, but I do reference their site frequently when tire shopping...they're showing that BFG is releasing the KO2 in a 295/70/18 in March of 2022. I guess I just need to be patient for another couple of months. lol

 

I am on the hunt for the same exact things and I did shop on Sparks but I also put the brakes on when I came to the shipping! The running boards were $350 and they wanted Almost $200 to ship it, I don't get why the shipping is so high!

 

Love that tire. I had it on my 2017 Tundra. They were awesome.

 

How much are they at your local dealership? Even though they may not have them in stock, I wonder if the price would net out vey close.

 

Not to get on a tire "soap box" but...

Me too. I know tires are like trucks or sports teams...everyone has their favorite and everyone thinks their choice is the best, but BFG earned my business a long time ago. I went through 3 sets of BFG A/Ts on my Taco with 251k miles. Each set got over 70k+ miles on them. I've had a set on my 4Runner since 2014 and they'll probably dry crack before the mileage gets to them. I've air'd them down to 18(ish) PSI, taken them off road, then air'd them back up to drive 100+ miles home more time than I can count. They're just all around awesome tires IMO. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.

 

What size are the tires? it looks nice.

 

only tires I have flatted more than stock tires are BFG at ko’s. Toyo AT gang for life

 

I had two sets on my 2007 Nissan Titan. They’re still hanging in there and they have well over 65k on them. I love the KO2s myself. I never had them on my tundra. I had Nittos and I can honestly say I wasn’t a big fan. Once I lift and get different wheels I will get some KO2s on there.

 

I really like the look of the 20 inch TRD OFF road wheel vs the 18 inch. TRD OFF road wheel. I don’t understand why Toyota chose to make it look so different. I would’ve like the same 20 inch in 18.

 

Awesome!

 

My experience the opposite with KO2's. 1st 20k, impressive and excellent off road. In matter of weeks by 21K, became downright dangerous in the rain. Any ponding, loss of traction. Wet road, especially just when started raining and normal start....no traction. I was running on 17 4Runner TRD Pro. No lift with front leveled. Couldn't get them off the truck fast enough going to Cooper AT3. Solid all around tire IMO

 

I really like the look, where did you get the decals?
