WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR 3RD GEN TUNDRA TODAY?

I swapped my stock tires for 275/60R20 Pirelli Scorpion AT+. I chose that size because I didn't want to change from the stock size too much, but I wanted an AT tire. I chose the Pirellis because of reviews on Tire Rack, and I didn't necessarily need crazy off-road capability for the few times a year I drive into a field for an event.

 

Looks great! Your flag looks good also.

I love the mirrors on the Gen 3.

 

So given all the issues we have seen on these 3rd gens, would actually driving it be a good first thing to be able to do on these?

 

I have been driving it. You didn't notice that my truck is dirty? As far as issues go, I haven't had any with mine so far. The worst thing that has happened is the Apple Car Play failed to connect a few times, but that seems to have worked itself out. My Qi charger charges, even when listening to Pandora, no check engine lights, no turbo issues, it's a great truck as far as I'm concerned.

 

I made mine look like Mr. T.

 

I think this looks better, but I think he also needs to wrap that very bottom section.

Something small. Not the 3-d inlay but for 20.00 I think it looks pretty good

 

Is this the TVD Vinyl?

 

No Texas Decal King. Nothing against anyone else at all. Just wanted to help the veterans.

 

Don't have mine yet but already have plans for it. Build date is later this month with delivery hopefully first couple weeks of March.

Westcott designs lift
Wheels and tires (18s and 35s)

Tailgate insert letters
Wrap the grill stache
Probably just the beginning lol

I will post pictures later on today. Here is my list

Manual Bed Step - Purchased picking up today
Tire Upgrade (stock 265/60/20) -> 275/65/20 Wildpeak AT3/W - will be installed today
Tundra Vinyl Inlay (Tailgate) - Completed
Tundra Vinyl Inlay (TRD lettering (Front grill inlay and accent markers both in RED) - ordered
Sliding or Flip back Hard-Tonneau Cover - Awaiting third party options vs OEM. (OEM is 1100.00). I thought that was a little steep

 

Where did you order your inlays from? I'm really loving the look of the red TRD on the grill.

 

Texas Decal King. Used Etsy.

pictures as promised.

 

The grill too please! That's the best part..

 

Had the front windows tint matched. And UV added to front windshield and sunroof.

 

@Demar002 how do you like those running boards? I have those on the way, so curious about your impressions.

 

Just rec. the Trd running boards today (unfortunately I’m working and can’t install till tomorrow). Did you use the factory installed bolts? Sparks Parts sent new bolts and wondering if they are longer. Was the install quick and easy? I’m up in New Hampshire and unfortunately will be working out in the cold temps tomorrow.

 

Oh, by the way looks like you have a beautiful 2022 Tundra 1794 Truck, Congratulations!

 

Thanks man, you too. I am loving mine (and ignoring the dumb comments…especially cause I had a 2014 1794, which I loved also)

I ordered mine through the dealer and having them do the install. Also have a bed step coming. Doesn’t seem like a automatic bed step is available - which kind of sucks.

still waiting on the leveling kit and tires (35s)

 

silly me I thought the 1794 came w auto bed step. Mine did but I honestly didn’t look closely at the sticker. Was probably an option.

 

I’ve installed the TRD skid plate and the Toyota tonneau cover.
Currently trying to order the colour matched door handles and blacked out window surrounds from Toyota.

@kstateskier what % tint?

 

The standard version does, but I got mine with the TRD Off-Road package. For whatever reason, you can’t get that package with the automatic steps and HUD \_0_/

 

@EvilSteve is the Skid Plate worth it? I have TRD OR, and was a bit disappointed it didn’t come with that skid plate

 

Does the skid plate cover the catalytic converters?

 

What wheels are these? Thanks.

 

I purchased the predator steps with my 2022 Tundra and had the dealer install them. When they delivered the vehicle to me that was the very first thing I noticed, the gap between the main rail and the truck body is really small and is 100% a dirt collector. I have a cabin in northern MI where the roads are very sandy and I can see this gap becoming a problem for collecting sand, abrading the finish, and eventually corroding the metal. I feel so strongly about this that I'm going to swap out the pressure steps with the original running boards. Thankfully I had the wherewithal to ask them to put the originals in the bed of the truck.

The interesting thing is I had these steps on my 2021 Tacoma and this wasn't much of an issue. Looks like a different size and position maybe rail on the Tacoma version.

 

Agreed! 500+ miles on my new Tundra and I'm 100% satisfied with it so far. Coming from a 6 cylinder Tacoma with 18-19 mpg economy, having the bigger truck with the same economy but better performance is huge.

The only people I've seen complaining about turbo issues are coming from people who haven't bought a new Tundra. My wife's 2016 3-series BMW has twin turbos, are does my 1967 Mooney (has only 1 turbo), and no issues with them. Do turbos wear out faster than other parts with bearings in them, yes because they operate in high rpm ranges and generate lots of heat.
